Hi everyone i am new to Keynote, i have been using powerpoint for a long time but the new version just sucks! i love keynote a lot better! i was able to create really good presentation there but i cannot present it....! why? everytime i try to hook it up to the projector i get something like this:

i really want to show my presentation that i created on keynote! i tried converting it to powerpoint but all the special effects i used on keynote went bye bye and i do not want to re-do it!! please can anyone help me figure out how to present it using a projector or a tv! (i have the tv cable thing for my macbook) is there some type of setting i have to click on?

Thnks!:]
 
i think the easiest way to solve the problem is to turn off the "use alternate display to view presenter information" option in the Presenter Display portion of the preferences.

i tried that but the screen on the projector and tv just turn pitch black! the slideshow on my macbook shows the slideshow normal but that is not the point...:[

Is the the projector mirroring your display or extending it...that picture is it of your computer screen or the projector?
