Best "Presenter Remote Control to use?"

Anyone have any fav's that I should look into for my Keynote 09 Presetations? I know some have the Iphone App, which I could get, but I was thinking of a remote control that that would do the basic functions, and do them well without allot of "Wi-Fi" needed.

My macbook pro is moving on its own. Not sure if its being remotely controlled or if its a bug but its annoying!!

I have a 15inch Macbook Pro that has recently been acting wacky. It feels like someone else is controlling my computer but all my sharing featured are turned off and i have my firewall on so i doubt its being remote controlled. Using my cursor is a constant battle. Sometimes its fine other times it won't cooperate. At random times the cursor will move and highlight a word and define it. YES Define the highlighted word. While on safari it'll randomly zoom in on the webpage im on, and contiue to highlight and try to switch pages. It'll switch from desktop to dashboard on its own as well as make my launch pad disappear and reaapear. without me touching it at all. SOMEONE HELP !

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not apply in your case.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
2. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
3. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
4. Reset the System Management Controller.
5. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
6. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
7. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and the unit needs to be serviced or replaced.
8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

ITunes on imac G4 flat Panel-Remote Control?

I have a iMac G4 flat panel which I love. I have 10.4.6 OS and I want to use a remote control to use iTunes while I am in the same room using a treadmill I have.
Does anyone know if there is a usb or firewire Remote Control for the imac that will work with itunes on my imac so I can change songs and turn sound up/down without getting off the treadmill?
thanks.
Imac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) bluetooth, wifi

Try using a remote control such as this one; on the iMac, look through these scripts for something you like, and then save it as an application if necessary and set it to be opened by a button on the remote.

Apple remote controler on Book Pro retinal display

I was give an older Apple remote control to use on my MacBook Pro retinal. It is not a bluetooth one I guess ( white, smaller and black on tip).
Can it be used?
I did not find any setting for it in system preferences.

Had not realy thought about using an iphone,ipod touch or a ipad!
Mostly a destop geek, except for a Asus laptop I use for church work.
Had a unfavorable experience with a bluetooth ear piece a few years back, started out ok then it always dropping connections, then dead to charge when I did need it..
Will have to set time to play I guess !
Thanks again to mende 1 and cbs 20 for your inputs and my education on the macbook pro and bluetooth.

SCCM 2012 R2 - remote control port[s] - customize/configure/change?

First, let me start by saying I am aware of
this page that outlines the ports used in SCCM. It has a section called "configurable ports" and another called "non-configurable ports". However, remote control (port 2701) isn't listed under either - its under another section.
Currently, we have another app utilizing the same port[s] that the SCCM remote control piece uses. I want to know if there is any way to configure this to use a different port? Somewhere in the registry perhaps? From what I've read it doesn't sound like
it is changeable but I wanted to confirm in here.
Our other app is configurable, however, it would require us to not only change it on each of the 100 or so Windows servers, but over 900 Unix servers as well that are configured to use the same port. So it will be a little bit of work. The other
option (as I have it set up now) is to just leave remote control disabled.
Thanks in advance!

Is 2701 the default port for this application or is this just bad luck? If it is the default port would you mind sharing which app this is for our information.

Best practice for using remote control under limited rights?

Hi. We are getting ready to take admin rights away from our users and make them standard users. We plan to utilize Zen for most of our in-scope applications so that we can allow users to install supported software. There is usually no problem in that case because Zen can elevate to System access during the install. However, we know that there are applications out there that a user may want to install that is not packaged in Zen. Also, in the event that a system setting needs to be changed, we will have to have a method for supporting this. In either case, the user will call our help desk. Unfortunately, the user will not have enough rights to do the install or system change even if the help desk associate remote control's the PC. What is the best practice to handle this situation in a Netware/Zenworks environment where users only have limited access?
I was thinking of three possibilities:
1.) The obivous one is to send a technician over to log in using local admin credentials to install the software or perform the change. (Drawback - not very efficient because a desktop tech would have to get over to the user's PC to perform the work)
2.) Have the help desk engineer log out of the machine through remote control, log back in as local admin to install the software or perform the change. (Drawback - not very convienant and time consuming.)
3.) Have the help desk engineer use the "run as" command or even create a Zen application object that could be executed to provide temporary rights for installing software or making system changes. Aaron Margosis of Microsoft writes about this quite a bit in his blog Aaron Margosis' "Non-Admin" WebLog : Table of Contents (Aaron Margosis' Non-Admin WebLog) (Drawback - some software or settings will not work properly using this technique)
The last one that I didn't list was creating a new application object. I did not factor this one in because this isn't always applicable to system changes and we really don't want to be making app objects for every out of scope app that exists in the user community. We typically only make them for widely used and supported apps.
Your feedback is appreciated.
Thanks

That's probably an option that we will make available. I wasn't sure how some things will work under the SYSTEM context vs local admin.

Can you manually advance a Captivate slide presentation with a remote control and a projector.

I have published a large volument of PowerPoint presentations with Captivate 5.0 and intend to distribute the presentations to live instructors as a means to control content delivered live by instructors to the students. The files are aggregrated into groups of lessons and published to PDF with a Table of Contents.
We need to avoid manually advancing the show from the laptop.
Having difficulty determining how to use remote control via laptop and projector to advance the next slide or presentation. Can't get it to work. Was able to do so previously with PowerPoint slides converted to PDF shows. Remotes/Laser pointers worked fine. But now that I have processed the shows through Captivate 5.0 can seem to find a remote that will work with the new PDF or SWF with our systems.
We use a laptop and projection system, so need to be able to advance the show to the next "slide" manually and are trying to figure out how to do it with a remote control.
Has anyone else experienced this challenge and did you find a solution?.

Hi Carey,
if you can apply the letter "A" for "next" to your remote control?
Then you could add a shortcut to your buttons in the captivate file.
In deapth:
Go to a PPT importet slide (using the "click mouse" option to continue".
Click somewhere in the screen (clickbox_xx will be selected).
Properties - Action - Shortcut. Click it and press "A".
Click somewhere on the stage.
Now when you press your next button on the remote, Captivate will receive an "A" and continue to the next slide.
Hope this helps

Using the remote control.

I noticed that the Apple knowledge based article describing the functions of the remote hasn't been updated to reflect the v 3 Apple tv software. I suspect there are a few users who don't get to use all the features of the Apple tv because they aren't necessarily aware of all the things the remote will do.
In an effort to try to ensure that users get the best out of their Apple TV's I have now produced my own list of functions that are accessible using the remote control. In doing this I realised it involved a little more work than I'd envisaged since the remote performs many functions which can vary depending on which type of content you are using.
I'd be grateful if those of you that are familiar with the Apple tv would take a critical look at what I have done and provide me with feedback on any inaccuracies, omissions or improvements that could be made in relation to the information I have provided.

It was actually, I didn't think I'd need to do quite so much checking that things did what it says.
2 - Having result on the left initially confused me, I think I'd find Action>Result better than Result < Action.</div>
I see the point, but it could possibly be resolved by renaming 'result' as aim, goal or something similar rather than reversing the body text itself. I was trying to emulate the way Apple themselves did this on their KB (Reason I did this - their KB is out of date)
3 - Probably a bit too much information on one page.
Perhaps split into a tabbed layout
Remote | Basic Controls | Music | TV Shows | Films/Movies etc.
Noted, I'm still not happy with the formatting, it needs work, it might not work too well in some browsers, a tabbed page is a little more than my iweb capabilities at present (or at least the way I would want it to work - tabs within a page rather than tabs to change pages)

Mmmm, not sure about that, I'm always concerned my text is already too large (necessity of white on black), might it not simply make an already long page a bit longer.

Looking for remote control App (iPhone) to use with iMovie

I just got a Macbook Air, and my infrared Apple remote control doesn't work with it.
I wanted to be able to do presentations (in this case using iMovie) and be able to have a remote so that I could pause, go back, fast forward, i.e. the usual things a remote does.
There probably is a good App that I can install on my iPhone that will let me use my iPhone as a remote control, but I don't know which one. Any suggestions???? Ideally, it would be a bluetooth program (although Wi-Fi would work too) that would also work with other programs, like Keynote.
Thanks!
Dan

Well, I don't know much about this, but if you need to control the actual system in some way, you are going to need to use JNI (Java Native Interface), which is essentially embedding C/C++ code in your java app, which doesn't lend well to platform-independence. I too develop on a Mac, and there is a mailing list for Java related issues on the Mac. You can check it out at: http://developer.apple.com/java/
If you sign up for ADC (Apple Developer Connection, it's free), you can have access to these mailing lists. They've been quite helpful to me in the past. I don't mean to slam the forums here, but you are looking for a Mac specific solution, and you'd probably get more specific information on this mailing list. Hope this helps!!

Hey, can i use the mac remote control on the new imac 2013? if so, how?

No,
The new iMacs no longer have an IR receiver.
If you want to control your iMac remotely.
If you own an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.

Is it possible to use a presenter remote with an iPad2? If so what kind?

I am a youth pastor and I like to connect my iPad2 to the sound system and to our flat screen tv. My problem is I want to use my iPad2 in a presenter style type of way where I do not need to be standing next to my iPad2 to change the slides. I was wondering if there was a presenter remote that I could use with my iPad.
Thanks!

Not at this point. Would be a nice feature to see developed at some point... The ipad and iphone can be used to control a computer connected to a projected image, however - that's what I use in the classroom.
