New iPad for presentations...MANY questions

Hi all,
I just got the new iPad (32GB, Wi-Fi only) and want to use it to give my keynote presentations. I normally use my macbook pro (~late 2008) running Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I also have Keynote Remote on my iphone 4. And, I have Apple TV (got as gift and haven't used yet).
My ideal situation would be to give the presentation from my iPad and walk around the room. I have done alot of research online about this and I keep getting more confused. I bought AirServer to mirror to my macbook pro and tried to do it last night. It worked but only when my house WiFi was used. There was alittle lag and I assume if I got a VGA adapter to hook directly into my iPad it would be smoother. So this brings me to my questions...
1. I might not have access to a wifi network, is there a way to make a network using my macbook pro or Apple TV  so I can commnicate to my iPad to give the presentation (and still walk around the room)?
2. If I need to hook my iPad directly to the projector with the VGA adapter, I assume I can use my Keynote remote on my iphone, yes? How about without a wifi available?
3. If I use Keynote remote on my iPhone, is there a laser pointer feature, or an app with one that works?
Sorry for all this but I am just alttle numb. I probably don't have the best grasp of how networks work or bluetooth so forgive my ignorance.
Any and all help is much appreciated
Thanks,
Chris

Ok, you have a lot you need addressed, so bare with me.
1. You can can tether to your iphone with personal hotspot to create a viable wifi for your keynote remote to work.  To tether see this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4517  In order to create a viable wifi network using your MBP you must have a valid internet connection to share.
2.  You hook directly up and use keynote remote, but you may use bluetooth.  To use bluetooth with your keynote remote you must have the ipad/iphone already linked.  To link via wireless make sure both devices are on the same wireless network, then go to settings- new keynote link on the remote app. On your ipad open keynote open a presentation to edit, then click the settings/wrench icon and go to advanced-remote- turn it on then enter the code shown on your phone.
3.  No laser pointer feature, I am not sure if another app would provide this.
Additional note: you can also use your apple TV to mirror your ipads display and to do this your apple tv and ipad must be on the same network.  Follow these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5209
Good luck and I hope I answered your questions.

    If you have a USB printer connected to your computer, Mac or PC, you can activate or install AirPrint and print from your iPad over wifi without any special apps.

  • How do I transfer apps to another  device I have new ipad for my wife and need to put her education apps onto her new ipad

    I have just purchased a new ipad for my wife. On my ipad we purchased education apps for her to use , I have placed the apps on her ipad but when we open her itunes account to sync apps  the computer will remove these apps and only leave her existing apps. How do I get around this problem. I have already paid for these apps and have not exceeded my number of devices. Glenn

    Try a re-download using her iPad...

    Goto bottom of scren in iTunes there is a section called sharing when it is connected to your computer. The sharing section lists those apps where data/files can be directly imported via syncing. Click on the app you want to transfer and then add the file.

  • Does apple give new ipads for faulty ipad

    my girlfriend got a new ipad for apple but it freezes so she called apple and reported and they said the where going to send her a new one but the never asked her to send the old one back to them .so those apple realy change faulty products for new products or is she lieing to me .

    More than likely, when the new one arrives, there will be a shipping label to return the defective device. To get the new device, she more than likely had to provide credit card information. If the defective device is not returned within a certain time frame, they will charge the credit card for the cost of the device.
    Apple does not let people keep defective devices; they collect them, repair them, and have them ready to sell or provide to others as refurbished devices.

  • Is true that apple will replace I pad 3 to new iPad for the customers?

    Is true that apple will replace I pad 3 to new iPad for the customers?

    When the iPad 4 was released, Apple said that persons who had purchased an iPad 3 in the prior 30 days could exchange it for an iPad 4. This replacement period is over.

  • HT1414 If you lost your ipad and your years worth of insurance is not over yet can they send you a new ipad for free?

    If you lost your ipad and your years worth of insurance is not over yet can they send you a new ipad for free?

    No. Sorry. That year's worth of 'insurance' (which I'm presuming you mean the warranty) only covers manufacturer's defects. Theft is not an manufacturer's defect.

  • I have two iPads. With two functioning iPads. Is it possible (on the same ID) to sync two of them differently with the same account. So I want to use the new iPad for all my current functions. The old iPad for just my music collection?

    I have two iPads. With two functioning iPads. Is it possible (on the same ID) to sync two of them differently with the same account. So I want to use the new iPad for all my current functions. The old iPad for just my music collection and remove all the other stuff?

    Very easily. I have an iPod touch and iPad on the same account with totally different content.
    If you use iTunes, connect each iPad to your computer and open iTunes and deselect any automatic updating/syncing. If you don't sync with iTunes but have them set up independently, under the settings, App Store, turn off automatic downloads for apps, etc.
    I'm old fashioned, I set up and sync my iPad and iPod to my computer and iTunes. Each device has a different name  and I manage content manually and only allow sharing on what I want shared.

  • TS1702 Hello, I have a new ipad for my daughter. Do I have to pay again for iphoto, pages, etc to go on it or does it duplicate these. I cannot find a way to do this?

    Hello helpful people ...I have a brand new ipad for my daughter and I. I have an iMac for which I have bought Aperture, Pages and iPhoto is also on it. Do I have to buy these all again for the ipad or will it duplicate them onto the ipad........is this a blonde moment and its really silly!!!??? Not massive user of Itunes so struggling a bit.......

    You don't.  As has been said you need to buy the iPad versions from the iOS App Store.
    Tap on this icon on the iPad:

  • I've noticed on my new ipad 4 that many images when on the Internet are blurred and low resolution why is this? Because if you go on apples website everything is crystal clear????

    When using my new ipad 4 retina display when on the Internet many of the images are blurry or low resolution? But if you go on apples website everything is crystal clear?? Why is this?

    Ebay images look fine on mine. Image zoom doesn't work, but that's not suprising. I also support a number of public and private websites wth a number of images (some pretty large). Those look fine as well. If the Apple website looks good, there is no raeson other sites shouldn't as well.
    For eBay specifically, I'd recommend using its app, but in general, you could try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

  • TS4268 cant link my phone number on new ipad for messages

    Hi, I have just purchased a new ipad mini and set up, as per instructions, however on the first set up i chose "set up as new" rather than back up from my iphone 4/itunes..... the reason for this is that my harddrive on my pc crashed at xmas and have lost everything for the time being, including itunes etc....
    anyway, everything worked ok with the new ipad, but none of my apps synced (i am guessing due to the fact my phone was not linked to icloud at the time?) and what ever i try, i cannot get my phone number to display on the ipad for tex messages/imessages & facetime etc, it only displays my email address associated with my apple id.
    no matter how many times i have signed out on all devices & signed back in, it doesn't change??
    can anyone help with this please?

  • How can I load photos on a new iPad for a customer?

    Now this is something that I've done before. But iOS has gone through some changes since then, and now I can't remember what to do.
    Basically, I have a new iPad which was purchased for a customer. I need to load some photos on the iPad for the customer, then give to to them to do whatever they're going to do with it. Trouble is, I seem to remember being able to do this through iPhoto in the past, but that doesn't appear to be the case anymore. Now it seems you have to go through iTunes, which means setting it up with my iTunes account, which I don't want to do.
    So, my question is, what is the best way to load these photos onto the iPad so that when the client sets things up they won't lose the images. Can I just set things up as usual, then manually sign out of my iTunes account on the iPad?

    I'd really suggest you not try to do this. An iPad can only be synched to a single computer, so if you sync the iPhotos on your system (and synching has always been done through iTunes), when your customer takes the iPad to his/her own computer and syncs, it will erase the content (i.e. photos) you put on the iPad.
    There may be workarounds, but I'd strongly suggest you just let the customer sync the photos him/herself. That's going to be a lot less headache.
    Regards.

  • New iPad prompted with "Security Questions" on App Store. Need Reset but can't Reset, actually ...

    Just bought the new iPad. When trying to purchase from the App Store I get a message asking me to answer the "Security Questions" that follows, since it is the first time I am buying apps from the new device. Well, I forgot all my security answers. Then, when I go to the "manage your account" section on the "My Apple ID" page and select "Password and Security" (as explained in the Apple ID FAQ section at their support site), I am prompted with another "Please answer your security questions" check point before I can proceed. Well, like I said, I forgot all my security answers ... See, now I am caught in an endless loop and spent already 2 hours searching for a phone number or email support address at the Apple page, and could find none for that matter. I am stuck with 20 USD worth of credit in my Apple ID and cannot use it!!!
    Thus, I would like to know how may I "RESET" my security questions so that I may continue using my Apple ID?
    Kind regards to you all,
    Thanks for the patience,

    This should help you.......but I am with Ralph on this......How do you choose questions and answers only you should know and then not remember either?  Next time write the questions and answers down somewhere, then store them in a safe place for future reference.  I keep all my passwords and security questions/answers in a safe location in case of a situation like this:
    Go to:
    https://appleid.apple.com/
    Click Manage My Account, and sign in.  Go to the Password and Security section. If you've forgotten your answers, there will be a link just under the security questions fields where you can have a reset email sent to your Rescue email address.  You had to give Apple a Rescue email address when you created your security questions and answers.  You should keep that handy as well.

  • Im looking to buy the new ipad but Iv a question. I can only afford either the 16gb with cellular or the 32gb without cellular...if one HAD to pick between the two what would u pick

    I'm looking to buy the new ipad but I've a question. I can only afford either the 16gb with cellular or the 32gb without cellular. If one HAD to pick between bigger storage space or the added cellular which would u pick? Please help!

    Like I said, I only have WiFi iPads, and don't know much at all about the data plans, but I don't think that you have to commit to a long term contract and I believe that there are plans that you can cancel at any time. My point is that if you sign up for a plan, and you use it say 4 months out of the year, you could be spending that money that you saved on the original cost of the iPad and even more in the future.
    Actually, you can look at the AT&T plans here.
