Keynote: Presentation mode?

Hi, Brian.

Since you're the most graded user in this post, let me annoy you a bit more.

1. Do these instructiond you gave work for iBook too?
2. Where can I find "mirroring"?
3. This patch that changes iBook behavoir about displays... do you know it? Do you think it's safe? Would you reccomend it?
4. Since Apple enabled 2 ways of putting iBook's image onto TV, monitors, or projectors, do you have any idea why there's no "regular" option to use Keynote presenter's tools? Is there any technical restrictions to laptops? Because as long as I understand, laptops are much more likely to be used in presentations than desktops.

Thanks a lot.

1. Only when you've applied the patch mentioned in #3
2. The monitors prefs, or in the Monitors menu item, if you turn it on in the Monitors prefs (system prefs>monitors). It won't show up though, until you run the patch...normally iBooks ONLY do mirroring, so you can't turn it off.
3. Apple doesn't support it, and Apple probably doesn't like us posting links to it, but it DOES work, and I know many people who have used it.
4. It's a limitation of the iBook (before the patch). Again, see #s 1, 2 and 3 🙂

It seems that my iBook accepts the hack but the result is the same as before. I have the projector up and running, then launch Keynote presentation, go to preferences, edit presenter mode the way I'd like it and then....and then....same screen on iBook and on screen. This is frustrating.

OK, now I turned off mirroring, arranged the screens and now the situation is that the presenter information appears on the projector and I get the slide show on the iBook. 180 from what I want. I notice that in the preferences it says "Use alternate display to view presenter information" That seems to be the problem - I want the slide show on the projector and the presenter view on my iBook. What do I do? By the way, your help has been invaluable.

check the Slide Show prefs, make sure you set it to present on the SECONDARY screen.

Got the mirroring taken care of, screens in the right place and the menu on the correct display. So now everything is as I would like it to be.

Did I mention that some of my friends call me "Duhhhh"?
