why does the projector show a second screen with my mac book?




***LC***


I own a Mac Book Pro and use keynote instead of power point, when i connected the adapter for a presentation at my colleges class projector instead of the keynote screen it showed the practice screen, how can I fix this for the future? It was as if there was a second screen , in other words my computer screen was showing what the audience was supposed to be viewing and they were looking at the practice screen that i was supposed to be looking at. Can anyone help me? Please


Answer
Open up Keynote's preferences. Under the Slideshow tab, select âPresent on secondary displayâ

I connected my mac to a projector and I opened my Keynote presentation. I put the slideshow on but the projector is projecting the two little boxes with my keynote presentation slides. one is the present slide and the other box if what the next slide is going to be??? what do I do to make the projector project a fullscreen slideshow of my keynote presentation.


Answer
Click on the Help menu in Keynote and type PROJECTOR into the search field. You'll see several choices, including the text that I've pasted below.

Your issue seems to be a "mirroring" vs. "dual display" issue.

Viewing a Presentation on an External Display or Projector

Seeing your slideshow and presenter information (notes and a clock, for example) on one screen, while viewers see only the slideshow on a different screen, is called a dual display configuration.
You canât use a dual display configuration on some notebook computers; you have to play the identical slideshow on both screens (called video mirroring). If you have less than 32 MB of video random access memory (VRAM) on your computer, you may have to use video mirroring to display your slideshow on an external projector. See Configuring Video Random Access Memory (VRAM) and Tips for Using an External Display for more information.
To view a presentation using dual displays:

Connect the second display or projector according to the instructions that came with the display or projector and the instructions that came with your computer.
See Tips for Using an External Display for some setup recommendations.

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Displays.
>>> make sure "Show displays in menu bar" is checked = very handy!!
Click Arrange and follow the onscreen instructions.
If there is no Arrange button, your computer detects only one display.

Make sure Mirror Displays is not selected.
Choose Keynote > Preferences and then click Slideshow.
Select âPresent on primary displayâ or âPresent on secondary display.â
The primary display is the one with the menu bar. If you choose âPresent on secondary display,â you can customize what the presenter sees on the primary display. See Customizing the Presenterâs View.

Click Play in the toolbar.
Advance through the presentation by clicking the mouse or pressing the Space bar. See Controlling a Presentation with the Keyboard for other options.
