Can't pair bluetooth for using Keynote remote

I can't get my iPhone 5s to use the Keynote remote app with bluetooth. The bluetooth hotspot works fine so I know my MBP can connect to the phone via bluetooth, and the Keynote app works great with wifi, but can't get it to work with bluetooth. I assume that I cannot use the hotspot and connect to the Keynote remote app via bluetooth at the same time. (When I have hotspot activated, the Keynote remote app doesn't work at all--screen appears frozen.) So I turned off hotspot and then try to pair via bluetooth. When I browse devices with bluetooth, the phone appears and I click on pair. I then get a message on my phone to confirm. I click OK and then it shows on my MBP that it is paired for about 1 second and then it disconnects and I get a message on my phone that the device is not supported. I am using the latest of everything, iOS 7, Mavericks, iPhone 5s and a one year-old MBP. So how can this not be supported?

You might also try turning off wifi on both devices when using Bluetooth. They may be stepping on each other.
There is also a limited distance over which Bluetooth will work. I work my setup of equipment so that I can keep my iPad and iTouch within about 10 feet of each other.
Hope this helps.

HT204378 2 iOS8.1.1 devices can't connect via BT "Using Keynote Remote with Bluetooth" - HT6112

I'm unable to get to iOS devices to connect via Bluetooth for Keynote control. It's described above under the heading "Using Keynote Remote with Bluetooth". Am I missing something? I see the article mentions iOS8 so I know it's been updated recently. I also see that this hasn't worked in the past. Curious that the articles suggests it can be done now.
I have 3 iOS devices all 8.1.1.
iPhone 5
iPhone 5s
iPad 3rd Gen
Thanks,
Russell

Just talked to Bose and learned the solution.
Reset the speaker ....hold down the bluetooth button until you hear a tone. Delete the Bose in the Bluetooth Device directory on the iPad. When it is automatically rediscovered it will connect.
Worked for me .....

Can you pair multiple machines with keynote remote

Is it possible to advance multiple machines running keynote using keynote remote?

Not quite sure what you are trying to do.
AppleTV can see different active itunes libraries running on Macs/PCs via Home Sharing, but AppleTV behaves as a single user device in teh sense you can't log on as different users.
iPads/iPhones can't 'pair' with AppleTv as such but can broadcast content via Airplay

Can't use Keynote Remote Because of iPhone 5's Bluetooth

I use Keynote Remote with my iPhone 5 to MacBook Air. WiFi works well but Bluetooth doesn't work at all. How to solve this problem.
P.S.
iPhone 5 - iOS 6.0.2
MacBook Air - OS X v.10.8.2

Here's Apple's instructions:
Using Keynote Remote with Bluetooth
When a Wi-Fi connection is unavailable you can use Keynote Remote with Bluetooth to control your Keynote slideshow from one iOS device to another (iPad, iPhone, iPod touch). However, slides may take longer to appear on Keynote Remote when connected via Bluetooth. You cannot use Keynote Remote via Bluetooth with a Mac. The following steps use Keynote Remote on an iPhone to control a Keynote presentation on an iPad via Bluetooth.
iPhone: Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth ON.
iPad: Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth ON.
iPad: Open a Keynote presentation.
iPhone: Open the Keynote Remote app. If you have previously paired your iPhone or iPad, you can immediately begin to control your slideshow from your iPhone by tapping Play Slideshow. If this is the first time pairing with these iOS devices, refer to the steps in "Linking Keynote Remote to Another iOS Device," above.
Note: If your iPhone displays the message "No connection available. Both devices must be connected to a Wi-Fi network or have Bluetooth turned on," continue with the steps above because you may still be able to use Keynote Remote with Bluetooth

Using Keynote Remote via Bluetooth - iPhone 4S + iPad 2

I have used Keynote remote quick happily on my old 3GS. Now I need to use Keynote remote on my iPhone 4S to control a Keynote presentation on my iPad.
WiFi is not an option, so I need to use Bluetooth.
Both devices are up to date and running iOS6
Activating iPad Bluetooth in settings, devices (eg Macbook, Apple keyboard) other than the iPhone appear on the iPad.
Activating Blutooth in settings on the iPhone discovers nothing. It is as if Bluetooth is not activating. The MacBook can't find the iPhone either.
I have rebooted both devices several times.
I have also tried to activate the pairing within Keynote remote - which just says no connection is available and says both devices must have bluetooth turned on.
So.
Am I being stupid here?
Or has Apple screwed up letting their very expensive and overpriced devices communicate with each other?

Hey I was having trouble with this too. I got it to work for me. I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 5. The fix for me was simple. Turn off WiFi for both your iPad and your iPhone. Turn on Bluetooth for both your iPad and your iPhone. Then KeyNote > Tools > Advanced > Remote. You don't have to do anything just have your Phone Remote app running and the bluetooh enabled when you hit remote on your iPad. They should find each other.
I've had to do this each time I use this function. There should we a way that you can just choose to use Bluetooth.

I can detect my Bluetooth devices using a BLE scanner and it says they can be connected but - My 5S will not pair with these devices

What devices?
Iphoen supports bluetooth for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone devices, some keyboards, some apps from the app store and interenet tethering if provided by your carrier.
It does not connect to computers, other phones,etc.

My husband has paired his phone using the remote app to the TV- I would like to do the same with my phone. Can we pair more than one phone to the tv using the remote app ?

My husband has paired his phone using the remote app to the apple TV- I would like to do the same with my phone. Can we pair more than one phone to the tv using the remote app ?

Yes I believe so. Try it and see you can always delete the Apple TV from a remote if it messes things up.
But we have three remotes setup to do this. My iPhone and iPad and my wifes iPhone. She has a different iTunes logon but it seems to work fine

Cannot play slideshow using Keynote Remote on iPhone

I have purchased Keynote Remote and installed on iPhone 3GS (v3.1.2), the app connects to MacBook Pro no problem, however I cannot 'Play Slideshow' - Just get the screen 'Could not play slideshow. Make sure a slideshow is playing on your computer.' But still doesn't run, even when I have KeyNote running on MacBook and a SlideShow open as required.
Have tried rebooting both devices, I have also removed the App from the iPhone, deleted it from MacBook and then downloaded and installed it again...
Any ideas please...

I have a company Ipad that belonged to a deceased employee. no access to his icloud or appleID. how can I restore it for use with a new apple ID

I have a company Ipad that belonged to a deceased employee. no access to his icloud or appleID. how can I restore it for use with a new apple ID?
The apple ID was his personal account and can no longer gain access. Im sure I can get purchase recipts from the accounting department if needed. I tried to put the Ipad in restore mode and used itunes to "recover" the ipad but it still wont let me in because he registered the device with the "lost iphone" feature or whatever that is.

Activation Lock in iOS 7 > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

If I purchase an iPhone 4S in Indonesia can I unlock it for use in Canada and/or the US. Can I change out the sim card by country?

You can't ship back to Apple or any of the authorized carriers, as they do not accept international shipments for iPhone warranty or service work, you must physically bring the phone back.

How to use keynote remote w/ iPad and iPhone using Bluetooth

Using IOS 7.0.6 on iPad and iPhone can't get a connection via Bluetooth to use iPhone as a remote to control keynote on iPad. Bluetooth is on, remote is enabled in keynote on both devices but that is as far as I get. I'm looking for some instructions for what seems to be a simple process. Searched all over and only find outdated instructions or instructions that appear incomplete. I don't think my Wi-Fi connection at work will allow this type of connection that's why I want to use Bluetooth. I can't get the 2 devices to do this on my home Wi-Fi either. Using the latest update to keynote. iPad is work issued and not sure if it is iPad or iPad 2 but I don't think this would make a difference. Any help would be much appreciated. Very frustrated at this point.
Thank you,
Carl

Hey, I had some issues but I finally figured it out thanks to this article: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-use-keynote-to-control-keynote-on-ios-mac/
Basically, you find the remote (let's say your iPhone) while your iPad has a presentation active then go to Presentation Tools on said iPad and link your iPhone. Your iPhone has to be searching for a device after you tap "Add Device."

Can I pair two iPads using Bluetooth?

I have an ipad2 and an iPad and would like to connect the two via Bluetooth for the purpose of playing games. No matter what I do the two units will not find each other, even though each says it is discoverable and searching and within a meter of each other.
Am I missing something?

no you can't
some games support multiplayer over bluetooth but they handle it without you having to pair devices
