Writing On A Keynote With A SMARTpen
I recently hooked an iBook up to a SMARTboard so I could run a Keynote Presentation on it. However, if I write on one slide with the SMARTpen and then go to any other slide, the writing stays. Is there anything I can do to fix this???
Hi,
I've started teaching in a room with a smart board and was running a KeyNote presentation today. I could navigate through the slides fine, but I really wanted to draw/write on top of one slide.
No matter what I did I could not get the pens to work.
When I closed the slide I could see the writing I had "tried" was actually "behind" the slides i.e. written on the desktop.
Does anyone know how I can ensure that any writing I do is always "on top" i.e. visible over the top of the application I'm running.
The teacher in the classroom (Runs Win XP) said that Keynote may not be "ink aware" and thus could not be written over the top of.
Any suggestions greatly aprpreciated!

Writing to multiple tags with the same name
Hi,
I am writing to multiple tags with the same name but in different groups. I have noticed only the tag from the first group gets updated. How can I write to a tag in a specific group in this scenario?
Regards,
Chanti.Heres what I found.
When I tried "http://<server>:<port>/XMII/Illuminator?Server=<Name of the TAG dataServer>&Mode=CurrentWrite&TagName=<Group>.<TagName>", the outcome was "Message
Could not add "<Group>.<TagName>" to the response list.
Message
No tags selected."
When I tried "http://<server>:<port>/XMII/Illuminator?Server=<Name of the TAG dataServer>&Mode=CurrentWrite&TagName=<TagName>", it seemed like it worked fine.
Any thoughts? -
Can you use bluetooth to control iPad (Keynote) with your iPhone? It works perfect on wifi but I do not always have that. If so, how? Is there a remote that would work?
ThanksI would expect that this is possible, given that it may be connected to a LCD display, and this was done at Apple's SDK Roadmap presentation recently.
Settings>IPod>TV out may be a way to do this, but I'm not sure. perhaps other posters have tried it and can advise more.
This from Microsoft in November:
+“Getting presentations from PowerPoint 2008 for Mac to your iPod or iPhone is easy. PowerPoint exports your presentation as a series of pictures directly to iPhoto, or saves those same slide images as pictures to your Pictures folder. From there, sync pictures to your iPod or iPhone through iTunes as usual, then use the built-in Photos or slide show program on your iPod or iPhone to show your presentation. No sweat!+
+“Presentations look great on the big wide screens of iPhone and iPod Touch, but they look even better on a big screen TV or projected. Plug your iPod into a television or projector using the Apple Component AV or Composite AV cable and leave your laptop in the case.”+

Canot email in pdf from pages + keynote with iPad air
I can't email à document in PDF from pages and keynote with iPad air. I reset the iPad an it don't work
Can you mail the files in any other format at all? Did you try emailing a Pages file as a Pages file or as a Word doc?
OK. My response was too late. If you can email them in another format, I don't see how the problem could be with the mail app, but I suppose it's possible anyway. I know that you restored the iPad, and this should help, but try resetting all settings.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. No data will be lost but all of your settings will have to be entered again. -
Keynote with embedded .mov exported to Quicktime and then WMV (Flip4Mac)
Hi,
I have a Keynote with an embedded .mov file (video and audio) half way through which exports to Quicktime fine ("Keynote .mov").
When I use Flip4Mac to convert the Keynote .mov to WMV the resulting WMV file works fine but stops when the audio of the Keynote .mov stops i.e. Flip4Mac doesn't render the last of the Keynote .mov
I have sought help over at Flip4Mac tech support forum but thought someone here might know the answer.
I have tried a variety of different .mov files in my Keynote but the same in all cases: export to QT is fine but Flip4Mac stops converting the Keynote .mov at the end of any audio.
I can extract the audio track and Flip4Mac will convert the Keynote .mov (video) all the way through.
Help?what format are the movies you placed on your slides? This makes a big difference in if they get included in the exported QT movie.

Call it "EASY WRITING..." with AppleScript !
Does anyone know if there is a way to edit a post, once you send it to the board. Perhaps to catch a typo, change the title, etc.
I wanted to change :

But could not find a way to edit my post.
I apologize for re-submitting the same post with a different name.
All,
If you use AppleScript at all, this is pretty slick, compared to anything else I found on the web for writing to files.

Play iTunes soundtrack under Keynote with Applescript
OK, so this isn't a question, more of a solution to a question I was struggling with: how to play multiple songs in the background of a Keynote presentation. What's more, I needed that soundtrack to fade out for certain important slides that had their own audio, but then fade back in (without starting over) when that slide was done.
I'm creating a standalone presentatoin that will run unattended, looped, during an event. It must be completely automated. It's mostly text slides, which is why I wanted general music underneath. But there are also some slides with videos of their own. I wanted a way to drop the soundtrack at the right time, and then restore the soundtrack afterward.
My solution is to set up my playlist in iTunes, play it, then run an applescript, and then start the slideshow. The script first sets the iTunes volume to whatever "MAX" volume is in the script. You can edit this to be a MAX volume of 10, 40, 100, etc. The script constantly monitors the slideshow, and when the slideshow gets to any slide with the command "itunesdown" anyhwere in the text of the presenter notes, it triggers an incremental drop of iTunes' volume by 10 units every .1 second until the volume is zero. If you want a slower fade, look for all of the delay values of .1 and make them .2, .3, whatever. It also keeps a lookout for any slide with the text "itunesup" and does exactly the reverse, raising the volume incrementally up to the MAX value.
I have not explored the possibility of also having the script monitor other text variables to perhaps trigger different playlists. I think that's possible, but for someone else to work out.
I'm sure there's a more elegant way to code this; I have certain lines of code literally repeated ten times to cover the full range of volume from 0 to 100 and back. I know there's a counter function that could do that in less space. But, again, I'll leave that to y'all.
Hope this helps someone!

**HELP** Need to print keynote with each slide taking the full page
I just put a keynote presentation together and saved it as a powerpoint. Now that I am trying to print it, the slide only takes a small portion of the page. I need to make sure the slide fits standard letter size and fits the whole page. I want to print one slide per page and have a presentation tomorrow. please help and thank you
Welcome to the forums!
You don't give any detail - what, exactly, you are doing (keystrokes, etc.), which program you're trying to print from (KN or PP), and what your settings are, so I'll guess: you're trying to print from KN. When you try to PRINT, in the window which appears you have checked "Slides with Notes". Those notes, even if there's nothing written there, are probably what's taking away space from the slide on your print-out. Instead, check "Individual Slides" (you should see the results of this reflected in the example print-out on the left: the slide should now take up most of the page, rather than just the upper portion of it). To make your slide even a bit bigger, make sure "Use page margins" (under OPTIONS) is unchecked.
If I've guessed wrong, or my solution doesn't work, come back with more details.

How to use Airplay in Keynote with iPad 1
The new update for Keynote for iOS (1.5) says that they now added AirPlay support. They didn't say this will only be for iPad2 or iPhone 4S where you could mirror anyway.
So:
How can I enable Airplay on my iPad1 in Keynote, so that the presentation will show up on my AppleTV, and I can view the presenter notes on my iPad (exactly the way my VGA-cable works, I just want to work without that cord.)
ThanksThanks for your reply.
As I said I do NOT want to use an iPad2. I know that I can enable AirPlayMirroring in the Taskbar, and then start a keynote presenation afterwards.
My question was how to do this on the iPad1. It doesn't support AirPlay-Mirroring, so it doesn't show me the Airplay button at all at any time, although Keynote is started and running. Since Apple did't say, it this feature will only be for those with AirPlayMirroring capabilties (iPad2 or iPhone4s and above), there needs to be a way how to start an AirPlayKeynotePresentation without the Airplaybutton in the Multitaskingbar. -
Tween or Motion path for blank keynote with animated stars?
I create star particle effect from this tutorial: http://www.schoolofflash.com/2008/03/flash-cs3-particle-effect/ and got help from this discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5518425 in order to get what I wanted. My code is:
var starsArray:Array = new Array();
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(50);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars);
myTimer.start();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveStars);
function addStars(e:TimerEvent):void
var star:Stars = new Stars();
star.x = stage.stageWidth / 2;
star.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
star.alpha = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
star.scaleX = star.scaleY = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
star.xMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
star.yMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
starsArray.push(star);
addChild(star);
star.cacheAsBitmap = true;
function moveStars(e:Event):void
for each (var star:MovieClip in starsArray)
star.x += star.xMovement;
star.y += star.yMovement;
star.alpha -= .01;
star.scaleX = star.scaleY -= .01;
if (star.scaleX <= 0)
kill(star);
function kill(star:MovieClip):void
starsArray.splice(starsArray.indexOf(star), 1);
removeChild(star);
However, I wanted to move the star particles around. The problem is that the star isn't on the screen, but is called in the actions in the blank keynote. I don't know what I should do next to get the result. I looked up online for tweens and motion paths but all i see is that they required the star to be right on the screen, I think? I also heard something about the compiled clip but I don't know how I should go about creating one and using it to move around the stars while it's animated with all the actionscript. All I wanted is for the star particles to float around the screen (on a path that I can draw out if possible).....Each star is created in the addStars function. Its position is set in the first two lines:
star.x = stage.stageWidth / 2;
star.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
So, to move each star to a new location when it appears on the stage, you'll need to change the x and y property values for each star. One simple way to do that is to use that same Math.random() function.
Try changing those first two line to:
star.x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth;
star.y = Math.random() * stage.stageHeight; -
Extract Audio Narration Track from Keynote with Voice Over
I just found a way to extract the audio narration track from a keynote I recorded using the voice over feature.
I used BetterZip.
I right-clicked on my keynote to show the "Open With..." contextual menu. I had the keynote open with BetterZip instead of Keynote and it extracted all the elements of the presentation into a folder. I saw in there several audio tracks.
Now, Keynote did not split the audio tracks into individual slide snippets but that's better than any other technique I have read on this forum so far.
I hope this helps someone in the future.If you save your Keynotes as a package, then you can right click and +Show Package Content+ and see all the files that make up your Keynote as well. To save your Keynotes as a package go to Preferences and click +Save new documents as packages.+

Exporting to QT on Keynote with embedded narration or audio files doesn't work
When I create a Keynote presentation, I often publish them for viewing after the presenttion. I have been making presentations for a long time and never had luck with Keynote using narration. When you edit a narration, it first "appears" to erase everything from the point you choose to edit forward. However, when you finalize the presentation and export to QT as a movie (yes the edits sound fine when you are using keynote itself) EVERY PREVIOUSLY RECORDED TAKE on each slide will playback at the same time making the audio incomprehensible. I'm using a 2013 2.3 GHz quad core i7 with 16 GB DDR3 and the newest Keynote 6.01 2013. Narration has NEVER worked properly on any previous version, and still doesn't.
I had some advice to try recording QT audio and adding to the slide. Now, when recording to Quicktime, it does embed it, but in recording the presentation, it either doubles up the audio giving a strange echo or does the same thing if you ever edit the presentation.
Keynote is simply a buggy inferior product for use in recording presentations as far as I am concerned, and I am very very disappointed in Apple for not figuring these issues out. It's not a new product, and it's not as if most educators are not participating in on-line posting or sharing their work as movies for later viewing by students.
I'd appreciate hearing what others do to work around these issues before heading back to Powerpoint or having to make complex i Movies with slides as images and adding qt narration to the movies. Keynote claims to do this... it just but I've never encountered an apple product with more bugs.I had some advice to try recording QT audio and adding to the slide. Now, when recording to Quicktime, it does embed it, but in recording the presentation, it either doubles up the audio giving a strange echo or does the same thing if you ever edit the presentation.
The problem Keynote has is that the sound and image content are not locked together which causes out of sync errors. This is why many users choose video editing applications when using sound in the presentations, as they have both image and audio tracks to sync sound properly together.
Start a new presentation to remove the previous sound recording, Keynote is holding onto the other sound files.
Add the graphic items to each slide and one sound file to each slide for the voice over
1 - In Inspector > Transitions; use start transitions automatically and set each transitions delay to the duration of the individual sound file.
2 - In QT export, set Fixed Timing and delete the value in the duration box, QT will then use the custom timings for each individual slide.
This procedure does work exactly as needed, Iv used this for nearly 6 years using 4 different versions of Keynote. -
Problems with exporting keynote with other programs, devices.
Recently purchased a mac, a few bells and whistles just due to the frustration of Microsoft. I've done a few things successfully with Keynote so I approach the heads of the global company I work for. (We don't use macs) and provide show a keynote presentation and they're curious and game.
Now I don't have the goods and I'm going to look like a schmuck and we won't be using macs for the next decade. I'm willing to sign up for the one on one presentation, but i'm a little tired of giving apple mo' money, mo money, mo money. They brag about the simplicity and I'm finding it's everything but. Okay, the rant is over.
The presentation is simple 25 slides, added audio, a little royalty free garageband for a few slides..
Issue #1
When I try to export to the Ipod (Yes, I bragged keynote can be used for everything) I'm not given the option to use "recorded timing," the keynote manual doesn't list anything so I'm kind of screwed on this one. Is it possible you can't use this option?
Issue #2
The presentation looks incredible in Keynote, but when I export to IDVD the quality of the presentation is blurred and looks like a joke. Do I have to buy more additional software or programs to produce quality presentations or One to One training, go through my kid's saving accounts for essentially an upgraded powerpoint program? I'm frustrated.
I'm new to mac and maybe it's me. But after this experience I feel that I've been suckered and should have stayed with Bill Gates.Keynote is very good at most things, but is seriously limited when it comes to synchronizing audio with presentations. There are amny other threads here discussing similar issues.
1. If you set the timing for each slide (builds and transitions), you can use the "fixed timing" option during export, delete the default values, and then export your presentation. It will retain the timings that you set. There may be other issues if you're using Quicktime 7.5, though, so see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1566927&tstart=15
2. I don't have iDVD on this Mac at the moment, but there should be export options that let you set the quality. Maybe someone else can confirm.
The bottom line IMHO is that you have to keep things in Keynote for the best results. Otherwise, you may run into problems when you have audio in your presentations.
