Using hyperlinks in dual display mode

I have a hyperlink to open a new keynote presentation. When working on my laptop, the hyperlink works fine. However, when I'm using an external display, the hyperlink will not work. Any suggestions?

Sorry, I guess I wasn't as clear as I thought I was. Let's see...
When I say it doesn't work, what I mean is that when I'm hooked up to the LCD projector and I place the curser over the hyperlink, it doesn't change from the pointer to the pointing finger and even if I try clicking on the link it will not open the other Keynote presentation that I have it linked to. The computer is set for an external display, in other words, no I do not have "mirrored" selected.
On the other hand, if I'm just working at my computer and "play" my presentation, I'm fully able to move the curser over the link, it changes to the pointing finger and when I "click" the linked presentation opens and I'm set to go. It just doesn't make sense to me that by simply hooking up the LCD projector, the links aren't functioning.

  • Hyperlinks in Dual Display mode, Keynote '09.

    This problem has been well reported in this forum,but I cannot find an answer.
    I have created a series of Keynote '09 presentations and I have installed hyperlinks on the last slide of each one to open, on clicking, the subsequent presentation.
    Trouble is in Dual Display (not mirrored) mode using a projector as Secondary Display and a MacBook as Primary Display (with next slide, presenter notes, timers, and other items that only I, as presenter, can see. Then I cannot activate the hyperlinks; in fact the icon of small blue circle and white arrow is not showing in this mode and the pointer does not change to finger.
    However if I press X or use "Swap" from drop-down menu I can see the view of slide that the audience normally sees and the hyperlink is shown and active. I click on it and once the subsequent Keynote opens, I can press X again and return to Presenter View on MB, but this is messy and the audience gets to see the "workings". Not a good look.
    Interestingly, the same disappearance of hyperlinks also occurs if I use Rehearse Slideshow, but not if I use Play Slideshow when MB is not hooked to external display. This seems to suggest thst these hyperlinks are not there in "Presenter" view.

    I found I had the same problem at my let presentation: Hyperlinks do not work in dual display using the MacBook at primary display. I gave up and put the presentation on my iPad and everything worked fine. Think I will just mirror the display of my MacBook so I can use the hyperlinks.

  • Video iChat for Full Screen presentation in dual-display mode

    I plan on giving a presentation and want to use video iChat with a special effects background projected using dual display mode. I find that if I use video preview in iChat, that I can't enter full screen mode (this would look best when projected). It seems you can only enter full screen if connected to a buddy in iChat, which I don't want for the presentation.
    Any thoughts on how to accomplish this, or maximize the appearance?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You want the Flipped pic that iChat gives you but using the Preview only as you do not require an actual chat to make a Presentation.
    Ideally you would like that to be Full Screen but the Preview only does not do full screen.
    Adding a second Screen in the form a Projector and mirroring is possible.
    This of course would allow you present a "Live Feed" as it were.
    Do you gave Quicktime Pro ?
    This allows you to set a window to Full Screen even if not actually recording, but shows what the camera sees. (albeit not Flipped like iChat although iGasses can fix that.
    I would also look at some of the options on this page

  • Use iMac in Target Display Mode with a Power Mac G4

    I would like to connect my Power Mac G4 MDD (Model = http://support.apple.com/kb/SP63) to the new iMac (27 inch, Mid 2010) in Target Display Mode. That is, I want the new iMac to be the display for my Power Mac G4. Has anybody done this (including using the iMac 27 inch, Late 2009, which can also do this)? In a general sort of way, this sort of thing is described on this support page: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3924.
    The problem: The iMac requires a Mini Displayport connection. The PowerMac has ADC and DVI-I display connections and also came with an adapter for converting DVI-I to VGA. How can I convert/adapt to get the appropriate Mini Displayport connection?
    Gefen makes a converter (http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8913) that will convert DVI-D to Mini Displayport, but the description explicitly says that it will work with DVI-D only while my PowerMac has DVI-I. I know that these are two different, incompatible connections.
    Is there another converter that works with DVI-I? Or is there a way to adapt from DVI-I to DVI-D? Or how about a VGA or ADC to Mini Displayport converter?
    Thanks.

    japamac-
    Thanks so much for your reply. You're right on target for what I'm looking for and that article is VERY helpful! If you don't mind, I do have a couple more questions/clarifications.
    1) First, I think that I didn't read the Wikipedia reference concerning DVI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigitalVisualInterface) closely enough. It includes the following paragraph. If I understand it and what you said, it shouldn't be a problem to connect the male DVI-D of the converter into the female DVI-I socket of my Power Mac. Right?
    +The long flat pin on a DVI-I connector is wider than the same pin on a DVI-D connector, so it is not possible to connect a male DVI-I to a female DVI-D by removing the 4 analog pins. It is possible, however, to connect a male DVI-D cable to a female DVI-I connector. Many flat panel LCD monitors have only the DVI-D connection so that a DVI-D male to DVI-D male cable will suffice when connecting the monitor to a computer's DVI-I female connector.+
    2) I'm not clear on the difference between the Altona AT-DP200 and the Gefen converter. The Gefen converter is somewhat less expensive, so I'm trying to figure out what the downside is. The article you mentioned says that the ATP-DP200 "doesn't scale images", but that seems to only be an issue if I'm trying to connect other devices (PS3, Blu-ray), not if I just want to connect my Power Mac.
    The description of the Gefen converter includes the following drawbacks:
    +The only major drawback to Gefen's solution is no support for VGA devices or HDCP. A minor gripe would be the fact that the Gefen device only accepts one input resolution and only outputs one resolution (1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz). These limited options aside, the Gefen device looks like it could do the basic trick of transforming a DVI signal to Mini DisplayPort so that you could use your 27" iMac for a few more purposes, provided that the input signal carries the required 1920 x 1200 resolution.+
    I'm not clear on what the practical impact of those limitations would be. I don't think the the lack of support for VGA devices or HDCP is an issue for my application. But I'm wondering about the statement that it only accepts one input resolution and outputs only one resolution (1920 x 1200) and the need for the input signal to carry 1920 x 1200. I take it, first of all, that the Power Mac can supply that input resolution. And, what is the impact of the device only having that resolution output to the iMac screen? That is, how would that look on the screen, ugly or okay? Finally, would the Altona device provide a better looking output on the iMac screen because it can apparently handle different resolutions? The manufacturer's description says, "Resolutions: all resolutions up to 1920x1200 (It is Important to select one of the resolutions that display
    is capable of displaying, refer to your display’s users manual)."
    Thanks again.

  • MBP with external LCD TV in dual display mode

    I’ve got MacBook Pro 15" 2.O 2GBRAM with Mac OS X (10.4.10) .
    I know there is a way to hook up my MBP to my LCD TV (Sony 32” that support PC input). I’d like to use it in dual mode with “Apple Logic Pro” so that mixer setting will be on LCD TV and arrangement window will be on MBP.
    I know this is possible with desktop units that have dual monitors but I wasn’t sure if I could do it with MBP(???)
    Any thoughts or suggestions?
    Thanks

    It'll work exactly the same way as it does on a desktop.

  • Aperture Dual Display Mode Poor?

    One of the big reasons I picked up Aperture was its ability to utilize my dual display set-up, but the implementation in Aperture seems hamstrung to me.
    I have a 22" Cinema Display as my main screen with a 17" Studio Display to it's left. What I'd LIKE to do is have the 22" with a full version of a book layout (for example) with all the thumbnails on the 17". But it seems that I can't do this, being only able to use the 17" to show a full screen version of the selected image.
    I'd love to see the Aperture interface tabbed the way Final Cut Pro's is so that the various elements could be moved across the 2 displays as wanted.
    Seems to be a poor implementation. Is there a way to get better flexibility?
    Cheers,
    Joe

    Thanks all, I have come up with a temporary "workaround" just by moving the Aperture interface all the way to the left on the 17" and extending it to cover the whole of the 22".
    IF I could save the workspace, that would be OK (not great but ok).
    In the meanwhile I can have the thumbs on the 17" with the book just about full screen on the 22"
    I did try that changing the primary monitor thing and that's also kind of a pain, plus it still didn't let me see my book layout up close on the 22".
    I think tabbing the screen elements would do it, and no I hadn't seen the "feedback" link before (I got the program 2 days ago) so I will definitely do that, too.
    Thanks again for the feedback!

  • Keynote 5.0 presentation dual display mode: no cursor on audience display

    In KN 5.0 presentation dual mode, the cursor only shows on the presenter's screen, not the audience screen in auditorium. I've tried all the combinations in Keynote Preferences, and hitting the C key doesn't help. No clues in the KN 5.0 manual. I'm using DVI to VGA dongle -- could it be a VGA limitation? Or perhaps a secret switch or keystroke combo?

    are you swinging the cursor over onto the projector screen, or assuming it works like PPT where you move your mouse on the proxy image on the presenter screen and it shows up on the projector?

  • White screen on boot, wrong resolution in dual-display mode

    Hello,
    I recently installed the software driver for a Brother HL-2040 laser printer on my 12 in. iBook G4. I was prompted to reboot, which I did. When my computer restarted, only a gray-white screen appeared.
    It seems that the LCD is out of phase or something similar. Some garbled content displays in the right third of the screen, top to bottom, but it is almost the same value of gray-white as the rest of the screen, nothing discernable.
    Interestingly, when I attach my iBook to an external CRT monitor (Dell P991), my iBook LCD displays correctly at 800x600 resolution (as well as the mirror on the CRT monitor).
    When I open the Display panel from sysprefs, it shows 800x600@85 for the CRT and 1024x768@60 for the LCD. If I try to change the LCD settings, I encounter an out of phase display on the LCD (sometimes tiled display of my desktop, sometimes gray-white screen, depending on resolution and refresh rate).
    If I disconnect the external monitor cable, the laptop screen returns to the gray-white screen.
    I have reset the PRAM & NVRAM following Apple's documentation. The first time I did this, there was no change in the display. The second time, I encountered the spinning gear during start-up, which was immediately followed by the gray-white screen.
    I have repaired the disk permissions and verified the disk via the Disk Utility.
    Does anyone know how to correct this issue?
    If you have any questions for me or need more detail, please let me know.
    Thanks for the help.

    Here's an update:
    I tried installing the most recent driver from www.brother-usa.com for the HL-2040 laser printer. This did not cause any change.
    I tried creating a new user on the computer, but the issue seems to be at the system level as the display problem occurs when I boot-up.
    I ran the Apple Hardware test via the OSX 10.4 install CD1. This did not turn up any negative results, however it indicated I had 16MB of VRAM instead of 32MB. Also, it showed the resolution at 800x600 instead of 1024x768.
    When I have my external CRT monitor connected and I enter System Preferences > Displays, I encounter two windows. The window for the CRT shows the only two options as 640x480 and 800x600. The Default Display (which I assume is the LCD) shows a variety of resolutions and refresh rates. I select 1024x768@60Hz, which at least shows the screen, however the actual LCD resolution is 800x600.
    Does anyone have any ideas of what may be causing this issue at the system (not user) level?
    Thanks again!

  • Setting Photoshop monitor profiles when using dual displays?

    I'm using a Macbook Pro connected to an Apple Cinema Display under OS 10.5.8. Both monitors are calibrated and I export from Lightroom to Photoshop in ProPhoto. The Photoshop working colour space is also ProPhoto so there is no mismatch there.
    When in dual display mode I like to have my Photoshop application on the Macbook screen and the photo I'm working on shown on the Cinema Display. In fact, I couldn't work any other way because the laptop's screen is not at all suitable for precision work.
    I noticed that when I send an image from Lightroom to Photoshop CS4 for further editing the colours were off in Photoshop. This lead me to check the monitor profile used by Photoshop and I saw it was using the Macbook Pro .icc profile. This seems to be used even if the image is displayed in the external display. Selecting the Cinema Display as "default" in ColorSync doesn't change the situation. As a result, the colours as displayed by Photoshop are incorrect.
    The only "solution" I have found is to either go to System Preferences > Displays  and select the external monitor as the principal one (which is inconvenient because it negates many of the advantages of using dual monitors) or setting the Cinema Display's .icc profile for the Macbook Pro as well (which makes it the one chosen by Photoshop but means I'm only working wiht one correctly calibrated monitor).
    Is there a solution to this problem? Ideally I want to have both my monitors calibrated and Photoshop detect which one I'm using to view my photo. Failing that, I would like to have both monitors calibrated and "tell" Photoshop to use the Cinema Display as the principal monitor.I don't want .
    Many thanks!

    Thanks for your reply!
    I'm not too worried about 10.6 because I'm not using it ( I reverted to 10.5.8 precisely because of the colour issues).
    I don't really understand your reply. My problem is that if Photoshop uses my Mabook Pro profile as the "monitor profile" my pictures - as displayed on the Cinema Display - look different in Lightroom and in Photoshop. It's as if Lightroom is "aware" of which of the two displays is being used whereas Photoshop can only deal with one at a time. I would like to know if this analysis is correct and what I can do so that Photoshop displays my photographs the same way as Lightroom does on each of my two displays.

  • Using dual displays

    Hello,
    I currently have a MacBook Pro with a 19" LCD connected in dual display mode.
    What I would like to be able to do is play DVD's on the MacBook Pro screen while "working" on the 19" screen. However, whenever I put a DVD in, I lose the desktop immediately and the movie will only play on the 19" screen. The Macbook Pro screen goes black.
    Just wondering what settings I need to change in the system preferences to make this work the way I want it.
    Thanks !!

    Additionally you will need to turn off the "Dim other displays while playing" preference.

  • Dual display with Lenovo USB Port Replicator 43R8770

    Hi,
    I have installed the Lenovo USB port replicator using the 1.0.0.1 drivers.  I am running Windows XP on a Thinkpad X300.

  • Dual Display Problems - No Signal After Sleep

    So, I just set up my hexacore Mac Pro with stock ram and the ATi 5870. To go along with it, I purchased two Dell U2311H monitors from Dell so that I could finally have dual displays. I then purchased two 6' minidisplayport to displayport cables from Monoprice. Also went with the Apple wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse.
    Upon initial start-up, everything worked fine. The monitors needed to be calibrated, but dual display mode worked perfectly without any extra steps. I had some fun messing around for a little bit and then decided to take a break. I put the computer to sleep.
    I came back 15 minutes later (couldn't stay away for long), and clicked the mouse to wake the computer back up. I heard the tower humming, but the monitors stayed black. I tapped the keyboard. Still black. Assuming it was some issue I wasn't prepared for with the wireless peripherals, I futzed around with them for a while and had no luck. Still not image on the monitors. I turned the monitors off and then back on only to get an error message explaining that the monitor was in Power Save mode. Some further exploration revealed that the monitors were allegedly getting NO SIGNAL from the computer.
    Restarting didn't help any. The only thing that has "worked" is shutting down the computer and connecting a single monitor through the DVI-D cable that came with it. I can then reconnect the displayport cable and switch the input to re-establish dual displays, but this is obviously pretty annoying. It seems like I can eliminate questions with the monitors themselves or the cables. In doing some research, I've found some threads on different sites about people having similar dual display issues attributed to faulty graphics cards. I certainly hope this isn't the case, but I'm at a loss for what the problem might be. It seems odd that dual displays would work briefly only to fail after going to sleep for 15 minutes.
    Sorry if this is the dumbest question ever. Is there something stupid that I'm doing wrong? Anyone have any insight?
    Any guidance you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    I have the exact same issue. Here's the forum I've got going: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2686085&tstart=90
    I called AppleCare because this issue was out of the box. Engineering wanted to capture some logger information so I ran the logger and sent it off to them.
    I am running a Dell 27" via a DisplayPort to Mini-DisplayPort cable (also purchased through Monoprice) and a Dell 22" via DVI to DVI (have also tried with the DVI to DVI cable connected to an Apple DVI-MiniDisplayPort adapter and the same issue arrises). When I boot the computer with any of these cables, I get no video. Only when I boot with a Dual-Link DVI (DVI-D) cable from the 27" monitor do I get any video on screen. At this point, I can then plug in the DisplayPort to Mini-DisplayPort cable and the regular DVI (not Dual-Link) after unplugging the DVI-D cable and I get video. If I restart the computer, no problem. However, if the computer goes to sleep or if I power down and then power back up, I am back to square one with no video and have to resort to using the Dual-Link DVI cable.
    Because this was DOA out of the box, they ended up just RMA'ing the machine and re-ordering my CTO Mac Pro 6-core. Still waiting for it to be built, I'll let you know how it goes on the second machine when it arrives.

  • 10.5.1 and dual display bug

    I have been using my MacBook Core Duo (graphics card GMA 950) connected to a projector in dual display mode for over a year. After upgrading from 10.5 to 10.5.1, the macbook can function in mirror mode, but the projector does not receive a signal for dual display unless I restart the computer. The problem is consistent even though the projector has not changed.
    Normally I plug in and the laptop screen changes to blue, then changes to dual display mode and sends a signal to the projector. Now, when I connect to the projector, the projector signal is black. I can switch to mirror mode using either F7 or via the Display preferences but there is no way to obtain dual display mode. Once I reboot, the problem is solved. This has been going on daily, each time with the same solution.

    I get dozens of the "ACL found but not expected ..." messages, all on the contents of System/Library/User Templates/. When I go to System/Library/ in Finder, only the User Templates folder has a red icon on it, indicating that I do not have access to it (when logged in as an admin). The icon does not appear on any of the other folders in System/Library. Does anyone have any idea on what's going on?

  • Mid 2010 27" IMac Target Display Mode has stopped working

    I have a 27" mid 2010 IMac, NOT the thunderbolt version, and have been using it in target display mode for my Mac Pro and 2010 Mac Mini with no problems.  I have used the Belkin cables, and routinely would switch between internal and external machines using Command-F2.  Worked like a champ for about 7 months.
    Today, with no obvious change, I cannot get the IMac to enter TDM.  This is true whether I use the Mac Mini or the Mac Pro, and is true using either of two Belkin Cables.
    I reset the PRAM and NVRAM on the IMac, but this made no difference.  I changed keyboards from my Bluetooth IMac keyboard to an Apple USB keyboard.  Again, no improvement.  I have rebooted the machine without benefit.  The IMac seems to function just fine in every other respect.
    Since I have no other monitor that supports the mini DisplayPort on the two other machines, I am dead in the water at this point.
    The machine is a mid 2010 27" IMac, OSX 10.6.7, 2.93Ghz I7 CPU, 16 Gb RAM, 480Gb SSD and has worked well for quite a few months.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    When the display only shows the background, it's working in extended desktop mode.  That's a logical extension of your desktop to the right of the MBP.  Drag an application off the MBP to the right and it will appear on the iMac.  When you close the lid of your MBP the iMac becomes the primary monitor in Clamshell mode.
    If you want to mirror the MBP to the iMac then press CMD F1, press again for extended desktop mode.  These settings are in System Preferences > Display > Arrangement tab.
    When the iMac is in Target display mode, you don't use the keyboard on the iMac.  Use the keyboard on the MBPro.
