Using Keynote on a projector

I gave a presentation tonight and when I clicked to start the slideshow, the screen showed a split screen as if I was practicing my presentation. The timers also showed up on the audience screen. I noted on my macbook screen I had the main slide only. I was not able to fix this.
Any suggestions would be appreciated as I could not figure this out.
Thanks,

Using keynote presentation on projector have had brief loss of signal

I have changed projector and iPad and still experience during keynote presentation a brief loss of signal to projector.
This happens at random and keynote presentation restarts on projector. Tried every source to help and followed all advice and it still
happens at random. Can play a movie using same gear no problem at all; Please Help.

Please do not type in all caps, that is considered shouting on a public forum and also rude which I am sure is not your intent. I would also suggest reposting in the Keynot forum, that is where the Keynote gurus are likely to be.
Good luck.

Keynote with a Projector...

I'm giving presentations to a group using Keynote and a projector. Is there a way to show the presentations without the audience seeing the Keynote files screen? The easy fix would be to put them all into a single presentation but I need the flexibility to change up the order if needed, so I need them in separate files. It's not very professional for the audience to see what's going on in the background.
I am open to the idea of using a different app. I'm new to the Apple environment and don't know what solutions might be available.
Any advice would be welcome.

Most projectors display a logo when there are in a sleep mode, some let you substitute your own logo.
There is no way to do what you want with the iPad.

Can you run a presentation on a screen using keynote

Does anyone know how to run a presentation using keynote a large projector? If so what do I need to accomplish this for a large meeting?

You need the proper cable to connect to the projection. The digital AV (HDMI) allows charging the iPad and supports mirroring the iPad's screen. There is also the VGA cable that also supports mirroring. There are also component and pmposit but those do not support mirroring and have poorer resolution.

Do images imported to Keynote retain their previous color profile? In other words, if the Keynote presentation will be shown using an sRGB profile projector, should the images be converted to sRGB prior to importing?

Do images imported to Keynote retain their previous color profile? In other words, if the Keynote presentation will be shown using an sRGB profile projector, should the images be converted to sRGB prior to importing or can they be batch adjusted in Keynote?

While I feel your comment doesn't directly address my question, why I am worrying is this.
This presentation is to a camera club. Color is important. Images shown in meetings are projected by an sRGB color profile projector. Most serious photographers us a color profile with a bigger space than sRGB (typically RGB1998). If you project an RGB1998 image on an sRGB projector the colors go to crap. More precisely they become dull and lifeless. Thus, I am trying to determine whether I need to convert the images I plan to put into my Keynote to sRGB and boost the saturation PRIOR to importing them or whether Keynote has a way to do this as part of the software.

Projector issues using Keynote

I've been using Keynote on my iPad for teaching, and it's been great so far. However, I've noticed that, sometimes when I'm talking and not using the iPad, the projector will lose its connection to the iPad. Once that happens, no matter what I do (restarting projector, restarting iPad, re-attaching cables, restarting Keynote, you name it) doesn't seem to get Keynote to show up on the projector again. (I.e. Keynote will open, but that special play button that lets you project onto the projector will not show up; instead, you get the regular play button that you see when it's not connected to anything.)
The initial connection to the projector is fine. It's only when the projector somehow loses the connection to the iPad/Keynote that the problem happens.
Has anyone else encountered this issue and, if so, have you solved it?

Never had that happen to me with Keynote. Are you sure the VGA connector didn't come loose?
I've had similar issues with other apps, e.g. iCab Mobile. Unlike Keynote, they don't prevent the iPad from going to sleep. And I found myself struggling to re-enable the connection to the projector afterwards on such occassions. Can't remember exactly what I did, but it did involve unplugging the VGA adapter and restarting the app in question (but neither the projector nor the iPad).

Using Keynote with host's LCDs

I make my living as a presenter. Always worked in PowerPoint. I end up using many different LCD projectors, but have gotten used to connecting to my PC.
Just bought a MacBook to use transition to Keynote and I’m wondering what issues I should expect using my MacBook on host LCD projectors?
Do most LCD’s connect via mini-DVI?
I bought a mini-DVI to VGA connector. Does using it compromise the quality of keynote presentations?
What resolutions do most LCD's likely support?

In my experience, most current business projectors will display at 1024 X 768, although older/cheaper models may have a native resolution of 800 X 600. Most projectors can rescale some higher resolutions, but I'd say that you're safest to not go above 1024 X 768. Also, although some projectors will have digital inputs, many business projectors will not, and so it is vital to have the VGA connector. While you may lose a bit of quality, in the cases where you need it, you won't likely have any other option.

Keynote not recognizing projector

Keynote 3 does not recognize my Epson projector. Using keynote 2 I merely plugged in and could show my slides with no difficulty. With Keynote 3 I get nothing but a blank screen. I have tried all the different Preferences settings. I get the same results trying to project through my home TV set. What am I not doing?

Thanks. I have checked everything in the OS X and everything is OK. I can project Keynote through my TV set, so the problem has been with the projector - I should have started there. I needed to re-select my computer as the input source. Thanks again.

New to apple and wondering if using keynote is easier than power point.

Hello all,
I have only been using os x for about 6 months, and I was wondering if using keynote is easier than power point? I am in school so I need to know if keynote will save in ppt format. The school that I go to only uses MS office 97 to 2004 format for all docs and power points. Is using keynote that much different?

i find keynote MUCH easier in almost all areas. it did take me a little learning in the beginning. the main thing to know is that apple uses a floating pallet call "inspector" to control just about all the details of the presentation. they also have a "formatting bar" which is conceptually similar to the formatting bars microsoft uses in the previous versions of office (font size, etc...).
the basic entry for slides is the same, where one just types into the fields on the slides. what i find much better is the control i have in the "inspector" to fine tune anything. i've gotten completely dependent on keynotes "staging" which is how one makes the slides animate. if i have a series of bullets and a diagram, i use the staging to get the diagram to be revealed in stages and to get the bullets appear one at a time in sync with the diagram i'm explaining. nothing is more boring for an audience to have someone just stand up, thru up a slide with 100 words and read the text bullets.
i find keynote to be much easier to develop diagrams or to copy and paste in a PDF picture. then add the staging effects i need to develop the story to explain the diagram or picture. it does take a little learning how to do it the first couple times. but the interface is consistent and it's not hard to learn it.
the only aspect i find a little easier in powerpoint is the indenting style, which is controlled in one of the editing buttons in office 11 and before. keynote controls the indenting from the "inspector" instead of having a little button in the formatting bar. but in every other way, i find keynote to be MUCH easier to use. and it has other features that powerpoint doesn't have. plus iwork is very inexpensive compared to microsoft office. finally, if you are near an apple store, they have free seminars on iWork fairly often. the 1st time i used keynote, i went to the apple store workshop and got a few answers. just see how easy it is to get person to person help for microsoft office...
the only other game in town are the various releases of the open source programs, "open office" and "neo office". they are free, also read and write ppt files, but are a little harder to use than keynote and don't have as many features.
anyway, that's my experience.
good luck!

I use keynote 5.1 and am bombarded with popups asking me to update to KN 6. I tried 6 after upgrading to Maverick. Do not like it.

I use keynote 5.1 and love it. I tried Keynote 6 and do not like it.
My problem is that I am bombarded by popups asking me to
update to Keynote 6
This reduce my work speed to a snails pace.
Would be most delighted to find a solution to the problem.
Thanks

Using Keynote and iPhoto slideshow together

Computer: 12" Powerbook G4, 1.5ghz
Display: 23" Apple Cinema Display (1920x1200)
Software: OSX 10.4.9, Keynote 2, iPhoto 6
Hi everyone! Above are the specs for the project I'm working on and here's the problem I'm having:
I am trying to create a makeshift kiosk display for an upcoming event using slides in Keynote and a picture slideshow in iPhoto. I'm planning on running it off my Powerbook to my 23" Cinema Display.
I'm using Keynote for the presentation content because of the motion effects (transitions, build-ins, etc.) and iPhoto for the image slideshow because of the Ken Burns effect (which I don't believe Keynote has). Both look great running seperately, however when this is being displayed at the show, I'll need both to run back to back automatically, without having to manually switch back and forth between applications.
I have both the Keynote presentation and the iPhoto slideshow displaying at 1920x1200. I've tried exporting the iPhoto slideshow to Quicktime, but it won't export any higher than 640x480. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make this work? I won't be able to operate the computer when this is running, so I really need to find a way to make everything run seamlessly while keeping the high resolution of the 1920x1200 monitor.
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,

iMovie is a DV editing app and the final results would still make a 640X480 file.
I would change a few things to make everything work together:
First is the display resolution. You want the 23 inches to be used so just reduce the display preferences to try and match your QuickTime file. 800X600 sounds about right but larger will still work as H.264 Video scales up in size very nicely.
This would force you to "reduce" the dimensions of the Keynote file but that shouldn't be much of an issue.
QuickTime Pro could also be used to "change" the dimensions of the 640X480 file. Again, H.264 scales up in size and would look pretty good at even double size.
The goal is to have them both at the same dimension and then match the monitor resolution.
Easier to change the display than the files.

HT204378 2 iOS8.1.1 devices can't connect via BT "Using Keynote Remote with Bluetooth" - HT6112

I'm unable to get to iOS devices to connect via Bluetooth for Keynote control. It's described above under the heading "Using Keynote Remote with Bluetooth". Am I missing something? I see the article mentions iOS8 so I know it's been updated recently. I also see that this hasn't worked in the past. Curious that the articles suggests it can be done now.
I have 3 iOS devices all 8.1.1.

Thanks,

Just talked to Bose and learned the solution.
Reset the speaker ....hold down the bluetooth button until you hear a tone. Delete the Bose in the Bluetooth Device directory on the iPad. When it is automatically rediscovered it will connect.
Worked for me .....

Using Keynote Tiger

Hello,
Currently I am completing an online learning course dealing with creating digital portfolio's.
I want to use Keynote, but find that I cannot hyperlink slides to "Word" documents or pdf files so that I can include them in the digital portfolio
Is there a way that I can do this, using this program?

Hi, webrown. Welcome to the Discussions.
I suggest you try your question on the Keynote Discussion. That's where the Keynote gurus hang out.

Using keynote in ibooks author do you set slide size to 2048x1536

For my second book I want to use the keynote widgit. If I set the slide size to 2048x1536 will that be ok for the ipad 2 and origanal ipad in addition to the new ipad? Also, when you initially bring an image (jpg) into keynote that will eventually be for import into ibooks author should it be resized to 2048x1536 just as we do when bringing one directly into ibooks author. I am using keynote 5.1.1.
