Keynote remote

I just purchased keynote remote from the app store on my iphone.  I am trying to get my macbook pro to recognize it as a remote option under preferences. Both devices are operating under the same wifi but still no connection.  Any suggestions?

If I'm not mistaken, the Apple Remote works using IR, which depends upon line-of-sight and is not as accurate or strong as bluetooth-over-USB which is what a number of presentation control devices use.
I don't know what Jobs was using in his Keynote, but I do know that Kensington offers the "Wireless Presenter" which has limited presentation control functionality (forward/click, back to previous slide's start, and stop) and a red laser pointer. The main selling point of this device is that it feels great in the hand.
On the other side of features is Microsoft's Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000, a device as hideous as one would expect a Microsoft device to be. Notwithstanding its looks and feel (it feels terrible in the hand when using it as for presentation control), the Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 has presentation control features GALORE including back-click, play multimedia, increase/decrease volume, and the ability to act as a remote mouse in case you want to manipulate the screen from afar. This last is very useful if, say, you want to be part of the audience and have a wireless keyboard so that you can control the computer.
I'm sure there are dozens of other devices out there. I mention these two because they represent the poles of elegant design and broad functionality.

  • Keynote Remote for iPad

    I'm not looking to control Keynote on the iPad, but rather use my iPad as a Keynote Remote for my MacPro running Keynote for Mac.  I have it on the iPhone, but running Keynote for Mac 'remotely' from my iPad would be better for me.  I run photography workshops and courses and in my studio my MacPro is connected to a 42" display that I run a Keynote presentation on.  I've been controlling it with Keynote Remote on my iPhone, but would rather use my iPad as the remote.

    Although I have it on my iPhone, I couldn't find how to install it on my iPad.  Thought it wasn't compatible.  Found it through my "Purchased Apps" on the iPad (App Store) and hit install.  Thanks for verifing that it was compatible and I just had to dig a little deeper.
    Wish they'd come out with a dedicated iPad version with a few more features rather than just a 2X view of the iPhone app.

  • How to connect my keynote remote

    how to connect my keynote remote

    Hello,
    to those unable to get Wi-Fi syncing working at your work or institution, it is not the fault of the App, rather it is the fault of the network that you are connecting to.
    It is most likely that the reason that it doesn't work is because the network administrators have closed access to the port that you need for the linking between your iOS device and your Mac. The reason that it works fine at home is because you have those ports that you need locked down. The other reason may be that your iOS device is talking to another base station than your Mac is and some networks also segregate base stations from each other.
    On the Bluetooth side, it might not be working because you are trying it use something like an iPod Touch 2nd generation (or iPhone 3) these devices can only use their Bluetooth headset, nothing else. So if you are trying to connect your Mac and iPod Touch 2nd Gen, you might get them to pair, but you'll never get them to connect. So don't bother.
    So what do you do? Did you just waste your money? Let me assure you that no you didn't.
    This is what you do.
    Go to your Wi-Fi/Airport menu and select "Create Network…" then give it a network name, such as yours or the name of your computer. I would strongly recommend adding 128-WEP encryption so that your classmates/co-workers/viewers can't connect to your computer and start sniffing around. Once you've created a network your Wi-Fi/Airport menu should turn into a grey arc with a computer in the centre.
    Go to your iOS device and under the General -> Network settings select your newly created network
    Enter in the password you just gave your network.
    Once your iOS device is connected to your Mac, you are good to go! Fire up Keynote on your Mac and Keynote Remote on your device.
    Do the linking in the Keynote Settings on your Mac. You should now have control of your presentation!
    A couple of notes: what you are doing is effectively removing yourself from the infrastructure network and creating your own. With that in mind note that you won't have access to the Internet on your iOS device nor your Mac. But unless your presentation includes links to websites, you should be okay. The way around this is to connect your Mac to a wired Ethernet connection and perhaps sharing that Internet connection to your Wi-Fi/Airport port to give to your iOS device as well.
    A tip: If you do the initial set up at home/office with the network and linking and use the same network name and password, you should only have to do step 1, 2 & 4 as your iOS device will have your password stored and the linking already done.
    Hope that helps!
    And yes, I would like to have the ability to jump to a specific page, and also have the ability to black out the screen.
    Cheers, Andrew Jung.

  • How to delete a file in Keynote Remote for iPhone4?

    Any one know how to delete a file in Keynote remote app for iPhone4? I uploaded a Keynote file from iDisk to my iphone and I can't delete the file. The file does not show up when I connect my phone to iTunes.
    I also cannot connect my Iphone to Keynote anymore because of this file.

    The file is actually in the Keynote app and not the Keynote remote app for iPhone.

  • Is the Keynote Remote App no longer available?

    I had been using the Keynote Remote app to control my presentations, but it stopped working.  I uninstalled it and looked on the App store to reinstall it, but can't find it. 

    The Remote App has been discontinued.  Its functions have been incorporated into Keynote for iOS.

  • Keynote remote app no longer working with keynote for ipad

    noticed after upgrading that the keynote remote does not pair with keynote for the ipad.  Any suggestion on a resolution or anyone else experiencing this issue?

    I didn't realize until I went to a class to lecture in front of a couple hundred students that what worked on Friday no longer worked on Monday.  (I upgraded to iOS 5 over the weekend.)  My iPad with lecture slides was plugged in 25 feet away.  I finally recruited a student to tap the iPad screen when I needed the next slide.  A nightmare.  What is usually slick and seamless was a wreck. 
    Here's my deal.  My remote app works fine at home where my iPod Touch and iPad are on the same wifi network.  At school they're on different networks for some reason.  Bluetooth doesn't work anywhere.  So Apple needs to find this bug and fix it.  I can't believe whoever is responsible for this didn't test this out before they released iOS 5.  Sheesh. 

  • 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 .....

  • Keynote Remote Doesn't work with iPhone, iPad

    Hi,
    I have the latest versions of Keynote on my iPhone 5S, iPad 4 and MacBook Pro 13" with Retina Display.
    All three devices on the same WiFi network. Using WiFi I was able to remotely control/play the presetatnion between iPhone 5S and MacBook.
    However, it doesn't work between iPhone 5S and iPad 4. Any help ?
    I tried Bluetooth as well. They seem to not discover each other and neither able to remote control.
    Any tips ?
    Thanks.

    After having to upgrade to the latest version of iOS Keynote (because I edited one of my presentations online through iCloud), I received the message that Keynote Remote is to be discontinued. The alternative they offer is to download Keynote onto your iPhone as they have integrated the remote feature into the full program.
    The problem that I found is that space is more of a premium on my iPhone than my iPad and I don't use the full program on the iPhone, as the remote app takes only 3MB and the full app? 444MB.
    I hope Apple receive similar complaints about this as nearly half a Gig for what will amount to a remote for Keynote is preposterous. I have already purchased my 16GB 5S, it's not as if I can put more memory in it now.

  • HT3325 Link keynote remote to iphone 5: not working

    I'm trying to link my iphone 5 to Keynote on MBA via the keynote remote app, but my phone isn't showing up in the 'available remotes' menu in keynote preferences.
    I've tried doing this via wifi and I created my own network like others have sugested. Still nothing.

    Be sure you downloaded the right remote app there are several ... I use it all the time! Be sure to be in iPhone apps when searching for the app as it is not an iPad app. The Bluetooth setting needs to be on you do not need to create a network
    Turn keynotes on, open your presentation up, open your  iPhone app remote and it will connect it right away

  • My keynote remote will not connect from my iPhone 5s to my iMac after updating to iOS 8.1

    I updated my iPhone 5s to iOS 8.1 earlier today and now my remote for Keynote will not connect with my iMac Keynote. I had a presentation tonight and it didn't work. I tried rebooting the phone and it still does not work. Any ideas? (I have Yosemite on my computer and it worked fine with iOS 8.02)

    This question is posted regularly, the remedy is to unlink Keynote Remote in Mac Keynote:
    Keynote > Preferences > Remote, then re-establish the link.

  • 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. 

  • Keynote Remote not connecting

    Hey everyone,
    I bought the Keynote Remote App to use with my Keynote 09.
    They find eachother (the iPhone and the Keynote) but when I try to connect them, it prompts an error on my iPhone after a while.. thus... not connecting.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Julio

    Try unlinking the iPhone from Keynote preferences, like shown here and then linking it again.

    You can also try restarting the iPhone.

  • 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

  • I excluded iphone from controls in Keynote. How I get it back on the list to use Keynote remote?

    I excluded iphone from controls in Keynote. How I get it back on the list to use Keynote remote?

    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.

  • HT3325 Anyway to use pointers in keynote remote?

    Anyway to use pointers from your iphone using keynote remote. I use presentation in ipad.

    Thanks for your reply.
    As I said I do NOT want to use an iPad2. I know that I can enable AirPlayMirroring in the Taskbar, and then start a keynote presenation afterwards.
    My question was how to do this on the iPad1. It doesn't support AirPlay-Mirroring, so it doesn't show me the Airplay button at all at any time, although Keynote is started and running. Since Apple did't say, it this feature will only be for those with AirPlayMirroring capabilties (iPad2 or iPhone4s and above), there needs to be a way how to start an AirPlayKeynotePresentation without the Airplaybutton in the Multitaskingbar.
