Presentation using iPad?

yehet

New to apple, please excuse.
Let's say I have an app that can open powerpoints or slideshow: haiku deck, evernote. (I don't have Keynote).
Is it the same as using a laptop, just connecting the cable to the projector (with the av adaptor) and everything will work as usual?
First time using ipad for presentation, don't want things to go wrong.

Answer
Yes I do this all the time you'll need an adapter ( which works for Iphone too) amazon links below. Only difference is that most PPT on your ipad will be displayed like a document which means scroll to next slide not a clean click. Be sure to the right connector for your version of ipad and most likely VGA on the projector side.

problem connecting macbook aluminum to projector?

Ms.Justice

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.

Should I get Keynote?

Anonymous

I currently own an iPad and a Mac. I'm contemplating buying Keynote for both. I'm certain that switching presentations between my iPad and Mac will be flawless and easy but my university, which I will need to make power points for, only has PCs hooked up to projectors. My question is, if I export a Keynote presentation (or whatever it's called) to powerpoint, can I expect formatting to be consistent? Is this feasible? I know from past experiences with OpenOffice that exporting to PowerPoint was always a pain in the ass cause the formatting was always messed up and the transitions didn't cross over. Should I expect the same from Keynote cause if that's the case, I won't get it. I'm wondering if there's a read-only format I can export to that will work just as fine on a PC as a Mac. Is there one? The most thoughtful answer (which answers BOTH of my questions) gets 10 pts.

Answer
You can expect formatting issues immediately. Only Microsoft products come with the default fonts used in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, so all other applications have to substitute fonts. Therefore, things will always look different unless you're careful to specify cross-platform fonts.

The open file format for presentations was set by an international standards body more than 8 years ago, but each program offers various levels of support. Microsoft fully supports open formats. Keynote can open files saved in standard format but can not save in standard format.

Just the same, you'll need Keynote for your iPad because there's no Microsoft PowerPoint for iPad (Sept 2011). So you're kinda stuck with Keynote as the intermediary. Make your presentations in Keynote so they play on your Mac and iPad. Export them to PowerPoint 97 format from Keynote for the rest of the world. To take advantage of PowerPoint's features, these exported files can be saved in PowerPoint format in PowerPoint before sharing with everyone.
