So today was my first attempt at giving a presentation with an iPAD. I spent most of yesterday converting from Power Point to Keynote and checking the presentation on the iPad with a projector. Fortunately I had a PP version on a USB. I down loaded the PP version to the computer the meeting had set up and then changed the cable on the projector to my iPad. First problem, my Keynote Remote, which had worked before failed. Minor problem, changed slides on the iPad. About 10 or 15 slides into a 45 slide presentation and Keynote crashes. Try a restart of Keynote which is fine but when I go to projector mode nothing appears on the screen. 160 people in the audience so some lame commentary on technology and puppet shows while I rewire for the PC and fire up PP.

So what happened and is there a way to fix it. I went through it multiple times with a projector yesterday with no problems. I wasn't on AC power and in the practice I was going fast but here it was slower while I talked. Is there a setting while on battery that I need to change. Presentation was about 18 mb, is that a problem? The slide it was going to at the time of the crash had a big jpeg on it. In practice runs it would pause there. Would making a smaller JPEG help? Any thoughts or experience would be appreciated. Thanks.
