Is there any way to control my laptop powerpoint presentation from my iphone using bluetooth only?

I occasionally host pub quizzes. I usually link my laptop to a projector and use powerpoint to display questions and play music clips etc. This means that I need to sit underneath the projector in order to click the laptop keyboard.
Is there any way to do this using my iPhone (4S) as a remote control for the laptop WITHOUT having a home network or router available at the location?
Thanks

Hi Paul,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The closest way I know of accomplishing a task like this is by using the Keynote application on a Mac and Keynote Remote on an iOS device, which works over bluetooth. See this article for more information:

  • Is there any way I can just update the apps on my iPhone using iTunes on my PC?, Is there any way I can just update the apps on my iPhone using iTunes on my PC?

    I have more than a 100 apps which I do not use but are there in my iTunes library! My iPhone has only a few (40) updates. As I am not allowed to use office wi-fi to download or update my phone apps, I want to use iTunes on my PC for the same. But I do not want to waste time searching for the apps on my phone and then update it using iTunes. Also, I do not want to update all the apps in my iTunes Library as there are more gthan 100. Can anyone suggest me a method where I can just update the apps that are on my phone using iTunes??
    I have the latest iTunes installed.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a different setup you transfer the old library from a computer or a backup directly to the new setup, not the device to the library. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Is there any way to delete more than one email from the iPhone at a time?

    What if I know I've read everything already online - can I press my Mail icon and instead of opening & deleting one by one, can't I delete everything in my Mail that's there? THANKS!

    Use the edit button, then select all messages you want to delete, and press "Delete" button. You still have to select one by one, but you'd have to do it anyway.

  • Is there any way to control the volume on my Apple TV?

    Here's the scenario: I have a small amplifier under my couch that controls the speakers connected to my Apple TV. When I use Airplay from my iPhone to listen to music, I'm able to control the volume right from the music App on my phone- this is perfect because I don't like to reach under the couch to change the volume. However, there are two scenarios when I cannot seem to adjust the volume anywhere except on the amp. These are:
    First: Using Airplay while playing a video from my MacBook Pro to the Apple TV. In this case, the volume slider in iTunes suddenly has a little lock icon on it and is unadjustable. Is there any way to unlock the volume?
    Second: When using the Apple TV directly to play any media- music or movies. The volume up and down buttons on the Apple TV don't control the volume. I'm forced to reach under the couch to adjust the volume- which happens quite frequently. Is there any way to control the output volume of the Apple TV?
    The lack of volume control has been super disappointing. I've been a (multiple) airport express user for years so kind of expected Airplay to work the same for video- with the ability to control the volume from whatever device was transmitting. Can anyone help me?

    Andrew- this is how I would expect things to work. However, when I use airplay from my iPhone to say, play a youtube video, the volume on the phone is suddenly rendered useless and I'm forced to adjust the amplifier. When I just play audio from the phone, the volume works.
    It's the same on my macbook pro. If I mirror the screen, my computer's volume affects the speakers volume. However, if I am in itunes and play a movie and use airplay for that, I get a lock on the volume. Is this a setting somewhere?

  • Is there any way to control automator through voice commands?

    is there any way to control automator through voice commands?
    Im simply trying to program my macbook pro early 2011 8gigs ram to resound to voice commands using automator but I haven't found any discuss on the subject.

    I have some AppleScript that expects a Pages (v5.2.2) document opened. It will then then speak the document name, and the count of words in the document. Or, I can trigger Speakable items and tell it to, "Switch to Pages" which it does immediately, because this is part of its repertoire of built-in commands. Then speak Word Count?
    In Automator, I created an Application, in which I dragged/dropped the Library > Utilities > Run AppleScript action into the workflow window. I replaced the AppleScript boilerplate with my existing AppleScript code that speaks the word count, and saved the Application into <login dir>/Library/Speech/Speakable Items folder as Word Count? (without the .app extension). It can also be saved in the Application Speakable Items > Pages sub-folder under the general Speakable Items folder.
    Next, I turned on Speakable Items in System Preferences > Accessibility > Speakable Items.
    It took several tries to get a spoken result from the Automator application, but it did work. Even with a calibrated microphone, and speaking about 18 inches from it. About 2 successes for ten tries. If I just put the AppleScript (without extension) in the same folder, my success rate would improve to 5/10. You may grow very weary of the repetition necessary to get Speakable Items to work. A small pink text banner also appears with the spoken content in it — below the Speakable Items monitor on the screen.
    Automator is scriptable. This means that in AppleScript, you can dynamically build an Automator workflow, and then execute it.

  • Is there any way to control or change the email notification format deliver

    Hi,
    Is there any way to control or change the email notification format delivered by iBots? I have created an iBot to deliver the scorecard report to the team with type chosen as 'Attachment (HTML)' option. With this definition of iBot - notification being sent in MIME HTML (.mht) format. Due to some security settings at my email client - the attachement gets quratined because of .mht format. So, I am looking for an option to send the notification only in HTML (.htm) format with which I don't have any issues with my email client?
    Any help is really appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Vency

  • Iphone 4S newly updated to iOS8, keeps popping up window notifying me of things I turned off (cell usage, location, etc) to preserve battery life.  Is there any way to make them stop telling me every time I use the affected apps?

    I have finally taken the step of updating my iPhone 4S to iOS8 after learning the hard way last update to wait for the bugs to be worked out.  I was horrified to find that the battery was being sucked dry in no time at all.  After finding a great article posted elsewhere on the apple forums, I went through and turned off all unnecessary options involving the use of cell data, location services and background refreshing.  My battery life has thankfully returned to what it was before the update.  
    HOWEVER, now, every time I open an app for which I turned these things off, the window informing me of that pops up.   I am getting really irritated by this as I made all of these decisions deliberately and am well aware that I may need to go back and change them in order to activate certain capabilities when I want to use them.  I had done the same thing with the last iOS, but there were far fewer that needed to be turned off and the battery life seemed to be less affected by those that I left on so it was not the annoyance it has become now.
    Is there any way to make the phone stop presenting me with these idiot messages?   TIA

    Sorry no, there isn't a way to turn off those reminders.

    ''Problem:'' For whatever reason, NoScript is stopping Runescape Community Toolbar from working properly which freezes your first Firefox window.
    ''Fix:'' Uninstall the toolbar. Disable NoScript. Install the toolbar. Add your RS account to it and make sure it works, then Enable NoScript again.
    EDIT: Posted a fix earlier that was wrong. Corrected to the right one, sorry ^_^ Answer was on Runescape Forums.

  • Is there any way to get both libraries of music onto my iPhone?

    I have two computers, and one has the majority of my music on it, and the other has a little. When I first got my iPhone 4S, I connected it to the one with less music on it, and synced all the music I wanted. Now, I'm trying to add the rest of my library to my iPhone from this computer (the one with more music on it), but I can't manually add music without wiping the music from the other computer. Is there any way for me to get both libraries onto my iPhone without having to go without one of the libraries? Can I combine them somehow, or can I wipe the music off of it now, add the larger library, then go back and somehow add the other one (this already sounds like it won't work)?
    Thanks!

    You need to combine the libraries on one computer. Otherwise you'll be constantly erasing your iTunes content as you switch computers. iPhone will only sync or manually manage iTunes content with ONE computer at a time.

  • I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book

    I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book back as i have already paid for it once and i would not like to pay for it twice.

    If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    Well that printer isn't an airpritn printer so your going to have to download a third party item from the internet, that's what I did and it work's great. I like http://www.collobos.com/ it's called fingerprint, you can use the tes version first to make sure it work's and they buy iy for $10 and you don't have to go buy a new airprint printer.
