Using the remote with PowerPoint

I can get the remote to work with Keynote just fine but it does not seem t work with PowerPoint. Is their a process to get the remote to work with both programs?
Thanks

If you have an iPhone, you can go to the app store and get Keynote Remote for free. The trick to make it work smoothly is to first establish your Macbook Air as wireless network. Then you use your iPhone to control the slideshow remotely, by swiping from slide to slide -- even from quite a distance.
Turn on your Macbook Air's airport (wi-fi), then select Create Network.
Once your Macbook Air is turned on as a network, open Keynote on your computer and your slideshow, but don't start the "view slideshow" mode just yet.
Open up Keynote Remote and if it doesn't connect automatically to your Macbook Air then select the network in Options.
Then start your slideshow from your iPhone -- you will notice each slide appearing on your iPhone as a reference.
If you still have difficulties linking, go into the Keynote preferences menu on your computer and make adjustments in the tab Remote. (And don't be fooled by the Bluetooth option -- strangely at this point it doesn't work between the iPhone and the Macbook -- only wireless.)
*Extra: You can enable "speaker notes" to show up on your iPhone below the picture of the slide.

I'm using the remote with my iPod connected to iTunes why can't I search playlists on the iPod? It only lets me search playlists in iTunes

You can only sync to one computer.
You would have to transfer purchases, but the apple ID would need to be the same.
Or find a 3rd party app to transfer content.

If I use the remote with two macbooks in the same room both of them answer

If I use the remote with two macbooks in the same room, the two of them answer. So if the person sitting near me is doing something else I interrupt them... this is quite annoying!
Does anyone know how to solve this? Should I report it as a bug? Where?

Hi Carito,
It is not a bug, all you have to do is pairing them.

Using Apple Remote with Powerpoint

Hey folks -
Is there any way to get Powerpoint and the Apple Remote that comes with the MacBooks to work together? I know the remote will work with Apple's preso software, but I'd rather see it work with PP. Has anyone tried?
Thanks!

I got mine to work much more easily with iRed Lite. I got the left and right remote buttons to work just fine to simuate the 'up' and 'down' keystrokes used for the presentation. I used the 'up' remote button to simulate 'b' for black screen, 'down' for 'w' to get a white screen, and hold the 'play' button to simulate 'esc' to end show.
As far as starting the slideshow, I didn't use Applescript, I just used a keyboard shortcut from System Preferences-->Keyboard & Mouse pane-->Keyboard shortcuts tab to create a shortcut for 'view show' or 'view presenter tools'. The one catch, though, is that in some apps, like PowerPoint, the keyboard shortcuts won't work until the menu containing the command with the shortcut is opened. I guess the system has to tell PowerPoint about the shortcut, and doesn't realize the menu item is there until the menu is opened. This isn't true for all apps. Anyway, then all you have to do is set the play button to the same keystroke as you set in Keyboard Shortcuts, and remember to open that menu sometime after launching PowerPoint and before you want to start your presentation.

My husband has paired his phone using the remote app to the TV- I would like to do the same with my phone. Can we pair more than one phone to the tv using the remote app ?

Yes I believe so. Try it and see you can always delete the Apple TV from a remote if it messes things up.
But we have three remotes setup to do this. My iPhone and iPad and my wifes iPhone. She has a different iTunes logon but it seems to work fine

Can I use the remote app on my iphone to link with the ipad2 ?

This is to control the music library to be more specific.

It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?

I was using "remote" with a D-link modem, that works fine at my iPad. But now I´m using only the cell phone as modem 3G, and don´t want to intall a router to put new cables at my notebook.

What?
You want to control iTunes on your computer using the Remote app on your iPad?
And you want to connect the iPad and computer through your Nokia?
No, this will not work.
Just create a network with your notebook.

HT1947 Does anyone else have my problem with atv3? Plays films in iTunes without any problems but on music every time I use the remote app on my iPhone 3GS it stops playing after around 5 tracks in. Anyone having this problem?

Does anyone share my problem with atv3 I can play films through iTunes without any problems. When I start playing music using the remote app on my iPhone 3GS after around 5 tracks in it just stops playing and seems to lose my connection. Hoping this is human error on my part?

I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

I plug my computer into my stereo and use the remote app on my iPhone to control it. How can I control my wires iPad with the remote app on my iphone when it is plugged into the stereo? they are different iTunes accounts.

TS1741 I have lost the original remote for my Apple TV. I went to install it at my fiancés house, and cannot use the remote app on my ipad or iPhone. Can I still control the Apple TV with the apps?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

How can I use the remote that comes with MacBook?

I have a MacBook remote (old macbook, not the pro). I no longer have the macbook computer, but I hope I can still use the remote. I do not know how. Please help me.

Only if it has IR support. Otherwise, it cannot. You would need to connect an IR receiver to the USB port.

I can use the Remote app to access my Itunes but cannot make it work with appletv

I can currently use remote app on my Ipad2 to access my windows desktop itunes library. I cannot use the remote to access appleTV. I am setting something up wrong? Home sharing is turned on, apple tv can access the internet no problem. The remote app just connects to my itunes library and that's it
thanks for any help.

The remote app requires home sharing to be enabled on Apple TV and both to be on the same network. If those aren't in place you will need to purchase a new remote.

How do I use the remote app on a dual band network?

There are 2 routers in my home. One is dual band (SSID: NETGEAR49-5G). This one is being used as a 5GHz access point while the other (SSID: NETGEAR49) is being used as a 2.4GHz extender. However I can't use the Remote app to control my iTunes library, regardless of which router I connect to. I can't even use a passcode to add my library because I just keep getting an error saying I entered the wrong code. Strangely everything's fine if I turn off the 2.4GHz router, but I don't want to have to keep doing that. Is there any way I can configure the two routers so I can use the Remote app and other network-based services??

Hi,
I can tell you how it works on my iPhone.
I click the Messages icon to open it.
I click the box with pencil icon top right for New Message
I start to type the name of the person I want to contact in the "To" spot.
(Alternatively use the Blue + icon and select direct from Contacts list)
I select the full name of Contact from any list if there are multiples.
Once the person and their Contact option is selected I click on the text field at the bottom of screen
Using the "keyboard" I type the Message and then the Send button.

(1) waking the macbook with apple remote
(2) putting the macbook to sleep with apple remote
(3) Shutting down the macbook with apple remote
(4) accessing front row (using LCD TV as Display )
while doing this should I connect the macbook to power source.

Hi suresh,
as mentioned here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86286
and
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300562
you must have to have a keyboard or mouse to trigger the macbook wake up from sleep when you close the lid.
usb mouse is not that expensive and you can start with that.
Good Luck

Bug report: A keyboard layout is incorrect on the remote with Japanese keyboard

This is a bug report for Microst Remote Desktop
===================================================
## Summary
A keyboard layout is incorrect on the remote with Japanese keyboard
## Version Information, I tested
* Client
   * Case 1
       * MacBook Pro with JIS106 Keyboard
       * Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
       * Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.24308
   * Case 2
       * MacBook Pro with JIS106 Keyboard
       * Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.1
       * Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.24308
* Remote
   * Case 1
       * Windows 7 Professional Japanese
   * Case 2
       * Windows Server 2008R2 Datacenter Japanese
   * Case 3
       * Windows Server 2012R2 Datacenter Japanese
## Detail of bug
When login from Mac OS X with Microsoft Remote Desktop, the keyboard layout is always incorrect on the remote.
The client machine have a built-in keyboard of JIS 106 layout,
and the primary language is set to Japanese.
But on the remote, the keyboard layout is US 101.
So a input of Shift+2 does not result " but @.
I've seen the above behavior on the 3 remote enviornments described the above.
This bug did not occcur with Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.1.1, even if the system language is English and keyboard layout is Japanese.
## Captures
I've took some of screen captures.
I'm sorry for the capture includes Japanese words, so I added description in English.
Capture 1:
Mac OS X Keyboard Setting
Capture 2:
Windows Server 2012R2 Screen Keyboard
Capture 3:
Windows Server 2012R2 Screen Keyboard, with a additional registry key configured.

This bug also affects the Canadian English settings. If the client is set to Canadian English with a US keyboard the remote server is setup using a Canadian French keyboard. Using the language selection in the toolbar you can temporarily correct
the problem but the keyboard resets to french at the most inopportune times. The was a problem in the earlier RDP client and was fixed so it's sad to see it reoccur in the new client.
