Transfer slideshow created on MacBook Pro to iPad

Hi

Wondering whether anyone can advise on how I can go about transferring a iPhoto slideshow, created on my MacBook Pro, onto a iPad 2?

Wanted to present a slideshow at my father's 70th birthday dinner this Friday without having to lug my heavy MacBook Pro to the restaurant.

Also what adapter will I need to the iPad to a projector or TV display?

Alternatively, can I convert the iPhoto slideshow into a PowerPoint presentation?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Grace

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.5)

to transfer a slide show export it as a QuickTime Movie -- hte QT movie will play on a Mac or PC that has the appropriate version of QT

the adapter is not an iPhoto issue - maybe someone here will know, maybe not - you might try internet research

Will Powerpoint import a QT movie? no idea - ask in a Microsoft forum for Powerpoint

Assemble the photos used in the slideshow into an album in iPhoto and export to a folder on the Desktop. Open Powerpoint on your Mac and import those photos on the Desktop into PP and make the presentation. You won't be able to import the iPhoto presentation as it appears in iPhoto, only the photos used in it.

If they have a DVD player with the TV at the party you can create a DVD slideshow with those pictures and burn to a DVD so it will play on the TV set. If that method is one you might want to explore post back and I'll post some tips on that process.
