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...

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.
Best of luck,
Mario

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.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you haven't turned find my phone off on the device, it should just reappear next time it is connected to an appropriate network. If you have turned off find my phone, turn it back on.

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.

Keynote cannot play slideshow...

Hi. I hope someone can help me with this problem. Thanks in advance!!!
I've been trying to play slideshow in keynote but it keeps going to slide 4 and then quits the slideshow. No matter what I try, it just doesn't want to play from the start or let me move to the next slide. Please help me out!
Thank you.

Littlequi,
I just had the same thing happen to me. Here is what I believe is happening-- somehow you hit the command to record the slideshow, and you have been recording ever since. So under the File menu, choose "Clear Recording" and see if things don't go back to normal. Just spent an hour trying to figure this out!

Connecting keynote remote to iphone 4 via blue tooth

Good Morning:
I would love to use Keynote Remote to run Keynote Presentations at the college where I work. However, there is something about the college network that seems to be preventing this from happening. I know this because a) Keynote Remote works perfectly fine on my home network and b) the college network people tell me that this is the case based on their research. As a way to bypass this, I would like to use the bluetooth on my iPhone 4 and Macbook Pro to set up a connection and use Keynote Remote. To date, I have not been able to make this happen. I cannot get the devices to recognize each other (so much more how "easy" all apple products connect to one another). Does anyone know how to get this to work? I have the latest Lion operating system and the latest iOS for my iPhone 4. Would love to get this to work, as my life would be much easier.
Thanks,
Matt

The iPhone will NOT pair with your Tom Tom. This is not, nor has it ever been a feature of the iPhone.

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.

Thanks,

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 .....

ATV doesn't show iTunes playlists and doesn't play them using the Remote app

Hello
Using ATV3 with the latest software version and it is connected to the iTunes library (also latest version) on my Mac Mini.
When I go to Computers on the ATV I can see the content of the iTunes and am able to play both Music and Vidoes however I don't see the playlists on iTunes there. On the ATV configuration it is configured to Show playlists -> All but still no Playlists appearing at the top of my movie and TV show listings section.
When I connect to the ATV using the Remote app on the iPhone and go to Computers there I do see the playlists but unable to play the ones with Vidoes just music.
Any ideas what would cause these problems...?

log into my library through more > computers where? on the Remote? This is exactly what i'm doing, I can see the content of my library there but I can't play movies from there.

I cannot play slideshow that I chose pictures and music.

Hello, I have a problem that I cannot play slideshow with music. As you know that we can play slideshow without creating any slideshow album. I just picked up some pictures that I want to play with music and then I clicked the play button for slideshow. But, nothing happened to me. I clicked several times. It was useless. So I recreated my library, build new thumb nails, uninstall iPhoto6, and reinstall iPhoto6. But, it was same. I also checked chmod of my photo library. But, one of interesting things is that I can play slideshow through making slideshow album. But, I cannot change my music. It is another problem. Please help me!

It's apparent that the problem is with your primary account. Another user developed this method to determine if one of the preference files in your account is the culprit.
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
Another user fixed her problem earlier today with the method.

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'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?

Here is the link you are looking for:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3325?viewlocale=en_US
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.

HT3325 Using keynote remote

I bought a Bluecon.i IC-BT 2000 remote for my iPhone 5. All's functioning (e.g. multimedia, cam shutters) except for the keynote. I'm wondering if they are incompatible (for the keynote), or I'm just using the remote incorrectly. The message in my keynote says something like the remote cannot be identified, that a wi-fi or Bluetooth connection is needed, even though my phone and the remote are already Bluetooth connected. Please help.
