Presenter Display Options Are Missing in Keynote 6?

I upgraded to Mavericks / Keynote 6 yesterday.

I have a dual monitor setup on my iMac27, and today when I'm trying to play a keynote presentation, it displays on the wrong monitor.

I seem to be unable to switch it to my primary monitor, because the "Presenter Display Options" tab (under preferences) that was present in the previous version is alltogether missing.

Anyone else have this issue, and a work-around?
Where are the "Presenter Display Options"?

Thanks, JB

iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.5.1)

Thanks for the suggestions, folks!

I've also found another part of the work-around to get the presentation to permanently switch to the primary monitor:

Enable "Presenter Display", under Keynote / Preferences, then click "Play"
Notice the "Switch Display Icon" in the upper right corner, looks like a "Refresh" icon
Toggle the presenter display until the presentation appears on the primary monitor
Disable "Presnter Display" under Keynote / Preferences, then save.

I find that this sequence permanently switches the monitor used for the presentation.

Hello Gary. I have disabled presenter display. If I select this it then displays presenter view on one screen and full slide on the other. I want to have slide on the main screen and access other docs on the 2nd screen. This is useful when running webinars. Thanks Tim

I know your answer was a long time ago, but I do not have a "presenter display" in KN Preferences. Any ideas?

Thanks that helped. My problem now is that the 2nd screen is just black and I cannot see anything on it. Is this Keynote or something else? Thanks

Have you enabled Presenter Display in Keynote > Preferences > Slideshow?

When Keynote is in play, other applications cant be viewed.
