Keynote through HDMI I have been having issue with playing videos in Keynote presentations when hooked up to a TV. When I get to a slide with a video it will remain blank, not play, and then advance to the next slide when I click. This does not happen every time, but the last 2 presentations it has only played correctly one time out the 6. This last one I had the videos on my desktop as a backup and they played fine through the connection on the TV. When the videos do not play, often the slides will also come through a little distorted, like they were put through a shredder. After researching online it seems like the suggestion is to use a VGA connection instead of HDMI but the TV's do not have that. I have tried shutting down other programs and turning off Wi-Fi to try and free things up and that has not helped. Is there anything else I can do to make the videos in Keynote work more reliably?

Using Lightning AV Adapter I connected my iPad to my TV with a new original Apple lightning AV adapter to watch a movie on Disney +. At first I could see content on the TV - my iPad desktop, then the D+ menu - but as soon as I clicked play on my selection, the TV screen either remained black or the D+ logo remained on the screen, but my selection didn't show up on the TV. I have a sound bar attached, sound came through that perfectly well. I disconnected and reconnected a few times, but it would always stop when I clicked to play my selection. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? My TV is an LG, a few years old but otherwise in good order, my tablet is an iPad 5.

Apple TV 4 slide show No problem with AppleTV 3s...have 3. Only the AppleTV-4s...have two. have this issue. The AppleTV-4s will not play photo slide shows with slide view times greater than 3 seconds. For slide view times greater than 3 seconds, the ATV-4 will show a few slides and then reverts to the Slideshow set up screen. How can I fix this?

Hello EduardSent

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're not seeing a mouse pointer on your TV when you have your iPhone connected to the TV with an HDMI cable. This sounds like it might be expected behavior, but we have a few questions.

Are you controlling the Keynote or PowerPoint presentation from your iPhone?

Do you have a mouse connected to your TV?

Have you ever seen a mouse pointer or cursor before when using this connection?

Take care.
