Keynote on iPad - Can't Loop Presentation

I am having the same issue, I can't find how to make it loop. I even imported my presentation from Keynotes from my Macbook with the loop turned on and it's still not in there. I can't believe they would leave out a simple important feature such as this.

Can you export to a movie that loops. Sorry can't try it out as the family (i.e wife's) iPad isn't home at the moment.

I tried that also, but you can't loop a video.

I tried saving video to loop from MacBook pro and it does not loop on iPad. Also tried replay settings on keynote to replay in slideshow mode - also didn't work. I cannot find a loop setting in keynote for iPad or video player on iPad. Suggestions????

i dont have i work installed on my ipad,...how do i get it????

Keynote, Pages and Numbers are sold separately through the App store, $9.99 each.

Sure hope the gurus fix that - after finally figuring out how to get the presentation into the pad, I find that after playing 50 photos the thing just exits out and I have to continually go back and restart it at the beginning.... should be a core feature dont cha think ?

for photos go into SETTINGS - then PHOTOS - then you will see REPEAT and turn it on.
Video - dont see anything either.

To add to the pile, I can't find a way to make the presentation loop either. I also can't find a way to make the presentation auto advance to the next slide after a certain number of minutes.

I want to create a kiosk style presentation for art shows where the slides auto advance but can be manipulated if someone wants to go back and re-read the artist statement or see the last slide.

You can't even take a screen shot of the slides and create a separate folder in photos because the power/home screen shot technique takes the shot in the wrong orientation. You can't change the orientation of a photo in the photo app. Of course you would lose the scripted transitions of the Keynote presentation if you did a slide show of the photos.

I would think that these would be basic functions that would help get these $500+ devices in the hands of sales people and educators and get them in front of thousands of people. I know it's a $10 app but it's hobbled to the point of being a one horse show and has the potential to be the whole circus.

Yes, a disappointment- I sure hope the folks at apple are working on an update for this issue.

Still no solution on this very important issue!

I have a 6 slide animated presentation. It works great, but is over in less than 1 minute. I NEED it to start over on its own!

it's not pretty but you could make a .mov of a Keynote presentation on your MacBook Pro. Open it in QiuickTime 7 (I am not sure about the new QuickTime), Command + A selects the full video, put the pointer at the end, Command V pastes the video to the end. Repeat a number of times and you have a loop. Fortunately, you would only need to do this once and you would have a repeating video that you could restart once an hour.

I'm not sure if it would be different on the iPad since I don't have one. As for looping a keynote presentation I just go to the document inspector in the inspector window of Keynote and I select loop slideshow under the slideshow settings. I'm not sure if that helps or not?

Let me rub some salt in this wound... I also want to use the iPad at an exhibit booth to run a looping presentation. I have a 50+ slide presentation that is mostly photos. I thought I could run it as a slideshow from within Photos, which does loop. Unfortunately, Photos reorders all photographs by the date the photo was taken - a piece of data you cannot see in Finder and cannot change.

In short, you have two methods to choose from and neither one works.

The maximum time for a slide on the ipad to advance to the next slide is 10 seconds. Under the transition option setting, the window isn't be enough to show this option, scroll the window. If you have the desktop version you can set this to any time length and the iPad version will accept this setting.

Personally, I build my Keynotes with the desktop version and send them over to the iPad via iTunes. As for looping either a video or a presentation on the iPad, doesn't work...
