HT1947 How do you set up remote app to work with Powerpoint?

I am not using Apple TV but want to control ppt on my Mac from my iPhone on the same net over Wi-Fi

You may have to look at apps that allow for controlling a Mac remotely
Example

If you have an iPhone 4S, iPad 2 (or later) you can try mirroring.

  • How do you set the remote only to work with the MacBook and not the Hi-Fi.

    I have a Hi-Fi Apple stereo hooked up to my Macbook but when I use the Apple remote, it controls both things.
    So if I am scrolling through my music in Frontrow then the volume on the Hi-Fi stereo is turning down or up depending on which way I am scrolling.
    My question is:
    How do I make the remote work with only my MacBook?

    Pair the remote with your macbook by isolating it point the remote at it while holding down the menu and next buttons. You see like a chain appear and that will mean the remote is paired. Now only the macbook will only respond to the macbooks remote. Do the same with the Hi-Fi remote and now the hi-fi will only work with the hi-fi remote.

  • How can I set the Remote app to work if I have lost my apple remote?

    I lost my remote to my Apple TV and I can't go into town to get another at the moment because there was a lot of snow and ice here. So, I'm wondering how I can set my iPhone 5 up as a remote using the remote app without the normal remote. I know the remote app used to auto-connect to the Apple TV, but since recent updates, you have to set it up as a remote on the actual Apple TV itself. Is there a way to get around this? Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the Apple Community Dylan.
    There is no way to set up home sharing on the Apple TV without the original remote from Apple, you will need to purchase a new remote from the Apple Store.
    If you already have homesharing set up on the Apple TV, you merely need to set it up in the remote app settings.

  • Can you set up Remote app to Apple TV without original Apple TV remote?

    I lost my Apple TV remote, so I tried looking up other ways to control my Apple TV. I found the Apple Remote app, but I can't get it to work. The setup information I found indicates that you have to turn on home sharing on the Apple TV, but that can't be done without a remote. Obviously I don't have a remote right now, so I'm trying to find out if there's another way to get my Remote app to work on my Apple TV without the original remote. Can anyone help?

    Can be done. All you need is your iPhone/ Ipad.
    Learn how to set up your Apple TV (3rd generation) using an iOS 7 device.
    With Apple TV software 6.0 or later, you can set up your Apple TV (3rd generation) by transferring the following from your iOS 7 device:
    Wi-Fi network and password
    iTunes Store account
    Language and region format preferences
    System requirements
    To use your iOS device to set up Apple TV, you need the following:
    Apple TV (3rd generation) using Apple TV software 6.0 or later
    One of these iOS devices using iOS 7 or later
    iPhone 4s or later
    iPad (3rd generation or later)
    iPad mini
    iPod touch (5th generation)
    Setting up your Apple TV
    Follow these steps to set up your Apple TV (3rd generation) using your iOS 7 device.
    Connect your Apple TV to your television and power and wait until your Apple TV displays the setup screen.
    Unlock your iOS 7 device and ensure that Bluetooth is enabled. Also ensure that you are connected to the Wi-Fi network you want to use with Apple TV.
    Touch your iOS device to your Apple TV and wait for the prompts to appear on your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Enter your Apple ID and password on your iOS device.
    Choose if you want Apple TV to remember your Apple ID password, and if you want Apple TV to send data to Apple.
    This does not change your iOS device preferences.
    Your Apple TV will start the configuration process, including connecting to your Wi-Fi network, activating Apple TV, and setting up your iTunes Store account.
    When complete, your Apple TV is ready to use.
    Troubleshooting tips
    If you encounter an issue setting up your Apple TV using an iOS device, try the following:
    If the Automatic Setup screen doesn't appear when you touch your iOS device to the Apple TV, verify that you:
    Have an Apple TV (3rd generation) using Apple TV software 6.0 or later.
    Use a supported iOS device with iOS 7 or later.
    Note: iPhone 4 and iPad 2 are not supported.
    Verify that your iPhone is unlocked and that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are on.If the issue persists, press the Sleep/Wake button to lock your iOS device, then press the Home button and slide to unlock and try again.
    While configuring your Apple TV, keep your iOS device within 10 to 15 feet of your Apple TV until the configuration process completes.If you go out of range or the setup doesn't complete, restart your Apple TV by unplugging it from power for a few seconds and then reconnecting it.
    If you are still unable to set up your Apple TV with your iOS device, you can set up your Apple TV with the included remote instead.

  • How can you configure a WD external to work with Time Machine??

    I have an 1TB external WD MyBook drive that is connected to my network through my Linksys wireless router and am trying to figure out how to format the drive to use with Time Machine.
    I currently use the drive to store files from both my PC and my MacBook but can't seem to select the drive to use with Time Machine. I figured that I could just format the drive through the Disk Utility program, but the drive doesn't show up in Disk Utility. This may be because it is a drive connected through my router and not directly to my MacBook?!
    Here are a few questions...
    Any ideas on how to format the drive so it will work with Time Machine?
    Once formatted to use with TM, can I still use the drive to store other files from both my Mac and PC? or do I need to partition for this??
    Is it possible to set up an automatic backup schedule that will happen via my home wireless connection?
    Thanks in advance,
    Todd.

    You cannot use the drive with TM as you have it set up. TM will not work with a networked drive except a Time Capsule or a USB drive connected to an Airport Extreme Base Station (current version.)
    If you wish to use this drive for TM backups it must be connected directly to the computer. Other computers on the network can access the drive for TM backups if you turn on file sharing for the drive (select drive, press COMMAND-I, check the box labeled "Shared Folder," click on the Enable button.) The shared drive will have to be mounted on the other computers in order for them to use it as a TM backup drive.

  • How do i set up time capsule to work with airport extreme base to extend wireless network?

    i have a airport extreme base, how do i set up a time machine to extend the wireless network i have with airport extreme? i have also 3 airport express's connected to the same network to extend my wifi all over my house. thanks in advance.

    Much better graphics, thanks.
    You can leave the Time Capsule connected by Ethernet from the Linksys and configure for a "roaming" network as mentioned previously.
    To do this, open AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the icons
    Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name = Same name as the AirPort Extreme
    No check mark needed next to Allow this network to be extended
    Radio Mode = Same setting as the AirPort Extreme
    Channel = Automatic
    Wireless Security = Same setting as the AirPort Extreme
    Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Extreme
    Confirm Password
    Click the Internet icon, then the Internet Connection tab
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Update to save settings and allow the Time Capsue to restart
    Then power down the entire network
    Wait a minute or two
    Start the modem first and let it run a full minute
    Start the AirPort Extreme the same way
    Power up the switch
    Power up the Time Capsule for a minute
    Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart
    Now, your computer will automatically pick up a wireless signal from either the AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule, whichever device is closer and providing the stronger signal.

  • How do you get the iPod Touch to work with NIKE PLUS

    I purchased an iPod Touch and according to target employee it was the latest generation. The one that worked with Nike Plus. However for two days now there is no icon no nothing that will start the lnink process. I plugged the connector and it gives me a message saying " This accessory is not supported by this ipod"
    I realize the new ipod have a sensor built in.
    Noppie

    I would double check on what generation you have. Do you have external, physical buttons to be used for volume control? If not, you have the first generation touch which will not work with Nike+. If this is the case, I'd recommend taking the iPod back to Target and requesting an exchange.

  • How do I set the number pad to work with spaces?

    It has worked with other OSs but with Mavericks 10.9.5 (and from what I here, Yosemite) you can not use the number pad to change spaces. I know I can use the numbers across the top or the arrows, I just find it quicker and ergonomic to use the number pad. As many spaces I use this is very inconvenient to be reaching across the keyboard. Is there a way to fix this. I went to the preferences but could not find anything there to change. Maybe Apple could fix this in there next update.

    Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • How do you set up airport express to work as a bridge

    I have an existing wireless home office set up with PC's. I purchased the airport express to allow my g4 desktop to gain access to the wireless network, as it's set up in another room. The airport is not "seeing" the wireless network, do i need to change the network settings in the g4 or do i need to change the configuration of the d-link 514 router?

    Hello crcubed. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Is your goal to extend the D-Link's wireless network, wirelessly, with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) so that your G4 can gain Internet access? If so, unfortunately, most non-AirPort routers are not compatible with Apple's implementation of Wireless Distribution System (WDS)...so it very unlikely that your D-Link router can be extended wirelessly with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX).
    The few that are known to work are:
    o Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not v5)
    o Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
    o BT Voyager 2091
    o Netgear WGR614 v6
    o Buffalo WGR-G54

  • How do you set up a Yahoo eMail account with all of the folders on an iPad 1st generation?

    I setup my account using the Mail settings.  I can retrieve my eMail, but I don't have any of the folders that I have on Yahoo.  Also, when I delete an eMail it does not delete on the server (they reappear when I check mail again).
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Correct.
    Since email account mailboxes and messages are not included with the iPhone's backup, restoring an iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed will result in any user created mailboxes and the messages being lost in the process. Just as messages in a POP account's Sent mailbox are lost when restoring an iPhone with iTunes.
    No such concern with server stored mailboxes with an Exchange or IMAP account.
    A POP account is from the early dark ages of email account access with an email client on a computer when the overwhelming majority had access to a single computer only - before there were laptops and long before there were smart phones.

  • How do I set up Airport Extreme to work with Steam?

    Hey all,
    I bought an Airport Extreme the other week, and since then I have been unable to log onto Steam either through OSX or Win 7 Bootcamp. Since Steam worked fine with my previous router, a basic Thompson version, I'm assuming that I have to setup port forwarding or some such in the Airport app, but after googling the question I haven't found any answer that worked.
    Has anyone had success in setting up port forwarding (or similar solutions) for Steam?
    Thanks in advance!

    I have Steam and did not have to map any ports in order for it to work. However, Steam does provide a support site that indentifies which ports would be required if you want to pursue this.
    If you need assistance with how to configure these ports on the AirPort Extreme, please post back.

  • Why does the remote app not work with Apple TV 1st gen anymore.

    This is a review I just left on the app store, I am posting it word for word, and i hope that dowsnt complicate anything. My hope is that this finds the right party to address the situation, and if any user has a fix, I would love to hear it.
    I have an Mac mini running iTunes as a server, I have 2 airport expresses to allowing airplay to them for different rooms, and I also have 2 Apple TV first gens... I can play one stream of music from the server, and have the option of playing 2 other streams of music from the apple tv's as they have a built in hard drive to sync music to. I can send any of the feeds to any o the devices in any room and i love it. This whole system used to work flawlessly... It doesn't anymore. The latest update of remote broke what was working so well. I can pull it up and see all 3 music sources, log into each and play music, no problem there. The problem is that when I want to log back into that device, it won't show what music is playing. It loads up to a trackpad... Why do I need a trackpad? the point of a wifi remote is that it interfaces directly with the library, not needing to see the display...  Annoying enough in itself as none of my devices are actually hooked up to a screen, but whatever, annoying point aside, I back out of the trackpad and refresh the device playing music... The music is playing, but won't show on my remote, I can't pause, press next song or anything. I have to start over and pick a song and override the currently playing song. Even the volume control is broken. I used to control each volume of each of the multiple devices individually, they each had a slider in the multiple speaker view, now there is only one master volume slider... One speaker is in my baby's room... If she is sleeping I don't want to have to go into the room to physically adjust that speaker, I want an individual slider like there was before.
    I used to be very happy with this app. I'm not anymore. I used to praise apple and promote the functionality of it to all of my friends. Now I'm just embarrassed when I can't control it when they are over. Embarrassed....
    As another fail.... I want to describe another point. As I have the iTunes server, it should be able to handle multiple things at once. It can to an extent... For example, I can play music from the server to an airplay device, and I can go onto my iMac, load up iTunes, click on shared libraries ad load my entire library from my server. I ca also at the same time take my iPhone, click on music, and again pull up my entire shared library of music from the wifi server... It handles this very well. I recently purchased an Apple TV 3. As it does not have a built in hard drive, it relies on content from a locally attached network or stuff from your iTunes account. So while I can use my iPhone to pull up the entire shared library while its also playing elsewhere, why can Apple TV 3 not?... It's using iOS just like my iPhone. All it was good for was airplay as an extra speaker. It wouldn't work as an extra rendered source of media using the shared library. Needless to say, that Apple TV went back to the store. Fail Apple, Fail.... That was the only reason I bought one. Maybe Apple TV 4 will actually be functional without a hard drive.

    Working fine on my system
    If on wifi, try ethernet
    Make sure router is up to date
    Reboot all components

  • How do I set up Time Machine to work with an Iomega network hard drive?

    I have just bought a new iMac having switched from Windows, and am very much a beginner when it comes to all things Apple. Previously I had used my NAS hard drive with my old windows pc. i successfully used it to transfer a lot of data from the old pc to the iMac but can't seem to get it recognised when I try to configure time machine. I have downloaded the latest version of Iomega Home storage manager which appears in the application folder in the dock, but when I click on The HSM icon it just disappears and nothing happens. I can access the drive through the Bonjour service and can see its contents in Finder. I have looked through the forums here but much of the info assumes a level of knowledge that i don't have. Is there an 'idiot's guide' anywhere to enable me to set up time machine to use the network hard drive?

    You would probably benefit from a couple of things, first going through these 2 links
    Time Machine FAQs & Time Machine Troubleshooting.
    If you still have questions there is a TM forum, because TM is part of OS X you will find the forum in the Snow Leopard forum. Click Apple Support Communities and in the search field type Snow Leopard. Once you are in the correct forum you can narrow your search by clicking Refine this list.
