Load more results. Apple Footer Apple Support. May 12, 2019 How can I manually advance a slide show? I have a folder with several photos and want to show them as a slide show. But all the Windows software (Picture Manager, Photo Viewer, etc.) advances automatically. I want to advance each slide manually. How can I do that without importing all the photos in PowerPoint? In the Photos app on your Mac, select the photos you want in your slideshow. You can add or remove photos later (see “Add or remove photos and text in a slideshow,” below). Choose File Create Slideshow Photos. Click the Slideshow pop-up menu and choose New Slideshow.

When giving a presentation, you don't want to be chained to your laptop. Apple provides a remote that works with Mac laptops, Apple TV and other Apple devices with an IR receiver. With a compatible laptop, the Apple remote can control a slide show in programs such as Microsoft PowerPoint and Apple Keynote.
Step 1
Verify that the infrared receiver on your Mac is enabled. Open 'System Preferences' and click the 'Security and Privacy' option. Enter your administrative password and click the 'Advanced' button. Verify that the 'Disable remote control infrared receiver' box is not checked.
Step 2
Hold the Apple remote close -- four to five inches -- away from your laptop facing the front. Hold the 'Menu' and 'Next / Fast-Forward' button on your remote for five seconds. This will pair this remote with your computer if your account has administrative permissions.
Step 3
Launch presentation software such as Microsoft PowerPoint or Apple Keynote.
Step 4
Use the 'Next / Fast-Forward' and 'Previous / Rewind' buttons to move slides in your presentation forward or backward.
Install third-party iRed Lite software to improve the functionality and enable the Apple remote to control additional programs.
