Thanks to both of you for that. On a connected but slightly off topic, I think I once read that it is possible to get an iPad to read the contents of a 2.5" portable unpowered hard drive. Is that true?

I'm not sure if anyone is still looking for a remote cure for ipad but this worked for me.

Check it out. It worked well.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Fuzzy. I've been looking for a solution to this problem for a long time. I'll give your suggestion a try. It sounds like an improvement over the iPhone app.

Sure thing Dab. I'm with everyone else. The Apple Remote is dumb. The Satachi remote trick worked perfectly for forwarding and backing up the slides via Keynote.

The only thing is, you need to make sure to not hit any other buttons on the remote or this will trigger siri into talking outloud about all the button fuctions.

So just make sure your remote is all set up BEFORE the presentation starts.

Good luck guys, hope this info find you well.

Shameless plug here (please be gentle when ganging up on me...I have a tender back!) AirTurn now has a tiny wireless Bluetooth remote that can advance slides in Keynote for iPad in VoiceOver mode called the DIGIT II. You can learn more about it at www.AirTurn.com/Digit2

In addition to controlling Keynote slides forwards and backwards, you can also control iTunes on all iOS devices and computers, as well as control iOS cameras for photos and video, and control a wide range of apps from PDF readers to Teleprompting apps. The DIGIT II also works great with iBooks and the Kindle for iPad apps (again, in VoiceOver mode)

The DIGIT II will start shipping on Monday, Sept. 9, and is available now for pre-order at http://store.airturn.com/digit-ii/

Oh, by the way, the DIGIT II has a button for silencing the voice in VoiceOver mode, so once you're set up with starting your presentation, you can make sure that annoying voice stays quiet 😉

Hidden AirPlay feature in the AppleTV 6.1 (iOS 7.1) update

"In addition to bonjour negotiation for AirPlay, iOS 7.1 devices will also look for AirPlay sources over bluetooth when doing it’s scan!"

Although this does not address the original problem stated in this thread it does offer an alternative solution for giving presentations. I have found that Keynote on my iPad works well with an Apple TV and Airplay but, up until now, the iPad must be on the same wifi network. This can be a problem for some locations. There are reports that the bluetooth feature only works with the latest iPads - it will be a few days before I can try it on my system.

I expect that the limited range of bluetooth will be an issue for some presenters.

The Easiest solution to this is to download i-clickr remort powerpont from itune store on your ipad/ iphone and mac and then use application for changing and managing your presentation on ipad while it is bening displayed by LCD projector using your mac book. It also supports windows too.

Visit: www.senstic.com for more information and products. I have used it and it works well.

Nice try docmacapp.

What drives me nuts about this thread (which has been running for years) is that the problem was resolved after Satechi brought out there beautiful bluetooth clicker. It worked extremely well. Your solution with i-clicker is no different than using you iPhone with the Keynote Remote app, the trouble is I don't want a bulky phone in my hand which is lit up and a distraction to the audience. When Apple introduced the child like IOS 7 with the Keynote update, the Satechi clicker no longer works. My work around has been to keep the older version of keynote on the Ipad. As is always the case, requests to Apple are never replied to. HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO GET THIS RIGHT?????

Ok I take my rant back. IOS 7.1.1 recently issued fixes the Keynote bluetooth clicker problem and my Satechi smart pointer now works with the new version of Keynote. Happy days!
