Get Keynote Onto Macbook When It's Already On IMac
Apr 22, 2012
I have purchased Keynote and Pages for my iMac and now need to use the same software on my MacBookAir, I was told that there was a way that I could do get the software on to my MacBook via bluetooth.
I clicked on the iChat icon and when it tries to open, it says the following (see attached file).
In addition, I have various Pages and Keynote documents in the "Documents" folder. However, it does not show a preview of a Pages or Keynote document as it did before. It just shows a Pages logo on a Pages document and a Keynote logo on a Keynote document. What's going on?
I resurrected this Mac recently and I know it's old etc but Apple did keynote videos back when this machine was released didn't they? So what's changed, surely this iMac should play simple web based video like that. It just stutters and stops ,stutters vid gets blocky then I get the beachball. Some video will play fine, some wont, especially on YT etc but on Apples own site. Btw it is a 500MHz graphite G3 with 1Gb RAM, with recent fresh install of Tiger and fully upto date.
How do I configure my iMac to auto sync Pages and Keynote documents with iCloud like my iPad and iPhone does.Note I've updated all devices to the latest software and I have iCloud configured for sharing on all but, neither app on my iMac auto finds and sync documents.
I plan on getting the new iWork '09 and will be doing a Keynote presentation in a month or two. I have been looking for those remotes to advance and go back slides...
It plays when I add the music to the slide, but if I close Keynote and come back to it the music won't play anymore! I have deleted it and added it again, I have deleted and then remade the slide, but it still isn't working!
Pretty much i use keynotes to take notes in my med school class. Im your typical lazy american and want my presenter note collumn at the bottom to show when i boot up the program like it does with powerpoint. is it possible?
Periodically when I play a Keynote presentation my MacBook will spontaneously restart. I've searched many different forums and found many others with the same problem, but no working fix yet. I have a huge presentation next week and obviously I can no longer trust Keynote to do it (quite a few ugly stories on the other forums about embarrassing keynote crashes in front of large audiences).
I'm doing a presentation tomorrow (I can't bring my macbook pro). I made the presentation in keynote 09 with several of the new text and image transitions. I know I will be using a Macbook 2,1 tomorrow for the presentation. Does anyone know if all the transitions will work or would if be safer to export it as a movie file?
When using pages i noticed that when exporting to word i lose some more advanced formating sometimes... so i`m afraid to lose the formating when doing the same to keynote (effects, pictures, charts and transitions..)
here's my problem, the 3d graphs in keynote look cool, but the categories at the x axis are unreadable. I want to turn this . I can do this in the 2d version and in the 3D version from powerpoint, but I cant find it in keynote?
I am a complete newbie to Keynote. Are there any books or websites that have good indepth literature to teach me how to get the most out of Keynote? I know there are video tutorials but I'd rather have a book that I can have sitting next to me when I am on my Macbook Pro or that I can read when I am out and about.
Do you know of a program that will allow my Mac (Snow Leopard) to play the music included with most Windows PPS slide shows. Keynote (a Mac program) displays the slide shows perfectly but I can never get the Music.
When Steve Jobs does his presentation he frequently uses a transition whereas a big announcement is being made, say, a price drop or a launch date the announcement is made with a transition that drops down and lands with a 'thud' and there is then smoke rising from the word that dropped down.
Can anyone tell me what transition this is and where I could get it to implement into my presentation?
When I click "Play" on my keynote presentation, the slides come up, but they only occupy the centre of the screen (eg: much smaller than the size of the screen).
I wanted someone to tell me if this is possible to do in Keynote:
say I have a Keynote presentation with four slides. In the first slide I have hyperlinks to pages 2, 3 and 4. Can I have a different transition effect for each slide so that when I click on hyperlink for slide 2 I have the cube transition, when I click on hyperlink for page 3 I have the flip transition... etc?
What is the best way for someone to save a Windows PPT file (XP version of PPT) that it will play the "most nicely" with Keynote? Does anyone know of any options on the Windows side that will help?
The main issues that I seem to be seeing are that the slides are opened in Keynote at 720x540 instead of 1024x768 and that there are a few font issues. I'm just wondering if there is anyway to "idiot" proof this and cut out any additional steps after opening the project on a Mac.
I think I speak for a lot of people when I ask all users of Keynote '09:
HAS THE KEYNOTE BUG BEEN FIXED??
In other words: has any one using the latest version of iWork and Mac OS X experienced a sudden reboot when pressing the play button?
The horrible sight of an unlit black screen and the dreadful noise of your drive spinning up, quickly followed by a hollow chime letting you know that everything you were busy with and hadn't saved is now Verschwunden?
I printed out some slides on Keynote. I put 4 slides to a page and they printed out fuzzy. Is it because I put 4 slides per page or some other option I need to change?
After I upgraded to Snow Leopard, when opening powerpoint files (PPT) in Keynote, the program will load 30% (in the progress bar) then Keynote will be non responsive and I will have to force quit the program.
Never had any problems with Keynote before but I use it quite a bit for presentations so you can see the obvious issues here.
