Aug 30, 2011 11:56 PM in response to Nick Puylaertby Beck-Tech,I know this is old news now, but I thought I could just clear this thread up.
Purchase an Apple TV V2 and with the update to ios5 you will be able to mirror your iPad/iPod wirelessly to a projector.
Connect the apple tv to the projector or tv you will be presenting on. Hdmi or with an hdmi to VGA converter.
Connect both devices - Apple TV and IPad/iPod/iPhone - to the same wireless network.
Double tap the home button on your idevice, scroll to the left, activate " mirroring"
*Must be an Apple TV V2
*Must be running ios5 ( not available at the time of writing this)

Sep 18, 2011 11:49 AM in response to ArriTysonby dpocta,ArriTyson, I love your suggested solution and tried it today. I do not understand how to mirror two of the three displays that come into play when DisplayPad is engaged. When you choose mirror, all three are mirrored and you lose the ability to have presenter display.
Please advise if there is something that I am missing.

Sep 21, 2011 3:07 PM in response to Tulseby Starfish Day,Since I have my presentations on my MacBook Pro and not on my iPad (I need to travel with the laptop so my full office is on the road with me) I needed a solution for linking my iPhone and the MacBook Pro - and unfortunately Tulse's solution wasn't working for me. Someone else had mentioned a Computer to Computer network so I went to "Create Network..." and created a C to C network with a password. Then I turned on WiFi on my iPhone and it "sees" the network I created. I clicked to activate and put in the password and it worked. Then went to the "Keynote Remote" app and to "Settings" where I'm given a code number. Then, on my MacBook Pro I opened Keynote and in Preferences selected "Remote" and clicked on the "Link" button that appeared next to the name of my iPhone. After keying in the number code from the iPhone into the Keynote link panel the link was established and the App works like a charm. Super cool...!!! No bluetooth needed. This rocks.

Oct 10, 2011 6:06 PM in response to Starfish Dayby Sjazbec,If you like the way "keynote remote" works via wifi and want a similar solution for your complete OS X apps like launching apps,control itunes,frontrow, iphoto.. then give "rowmote" app a try, it is free and turns your ipod/iphone into a Remote control just like the one Apple sold . On OSX a small free counterpart "rowmote helper" needs to run, so the both can talk to each other. Works also with Lion.

Nov 16, 2011 9:30 AM in response to Tulseby Chappers ABC123,Hi Tulse. I'm at an Apple conference and due to present tomorrow. I would like to use this function over Bluetooth. I've followed your instructions for Bluetooth only. However, they are not working.
I'm using iOS 5.0.1 on both iPhone and iPad, Keynote Remote v 1.3 (71) on iPhone and Keynote v1.5 (428) on iPad. I'v'e disabled WiFi and enabled Bluetooth. I have a passcode enabled on both devices, which remain unlocked when I'm trying to do this.
Can you help?
I wonder whether the instructions could now be out of date (16 November 2011). I note from the comments from others that (1) "Remote" option on the iPad app was in the settings menu, but on my version it's in Settings > Advanced; and (2) that when opening the app on iPhone when wiFi is disabled a prompt saying WiFi needs to be enabled appears, however I do not have this.
I've tried the issue on my colleague's iPhone and iPad (both running the same versions as me) and he is also unable to connect.
Thoughts welcome. Thanks.

Nov 16, 2011 4:08 PM in response to Chappers ABC123by Tulse,I too have been unable to get Bluetooth working the past week or so, but hadn't really explored the issue. It appears that a bug with the iOS 5 (or 5.0.1) update prevents a Remote connection via Bluetooth.
That said, there's a workaround I've run across that might be suitable for you -- since WiFi connectivity still works, you can use WiFi Tethering on your phone to create an ad hoc WiFi connection between iPhone and iPad, and run Remote over that. You should actually get better range than with Bluetooth (so you can be farther from your iPad), although because WiFi eats much more power than Bluetooth you likely won't be able to run it for as long.
I hope this is helpful for you.

Nov 16, 2011 4:53 PM in response to Tulseby Chappers ABC123,Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately my mobile provider (Vodafone UK) does not this feature to be used on my iPhone, or if it does, it's something I haven't enabled via them (I've seen it on other handsets from other providers but it's not enabled on mine).

Nov 23, 2011 1:45 PM in response to Bill in Palo Altoby Dmthpe,I was struggling with connecting my ipad Keynote and iphone4 Keynote Remote app during a presentation today but I think I have an answer. Turn bluetooth on in Settings / General for both devices. I connected my iphone4 and ipad2 using bluetooth with the personal hotspot in Settings (select Bluetooth and USB only). Once you pair the two devices everything works as it should. Start the presentation using keynote on your ipad2, select the Tools, Advanced and Remote. Start keynote remote app on iphone4, Settings, New keynote link (a four digit code appears). Type the code in on iPad and you are good to go. The iPhone should now be able to show notes and swipe to the next slide.
Good luck.

Dec 7, 2011 4:26 AM in response to grigby1by klaatu56,Hi I get the same problem, I don't think my Bluetooth works very well, it at all. I have the Remote App on my iPhone and use it to control Keynote on my iPad. It does work but I have to use 'Personal Hotspot', wifi off, Bluetooth on on both and I have to enter a 4 number code then it seems to work. The wifi works fine at Home but not at work, hence useing hotspot.
Try it that way, it may work for you.

Dec 15, 2011 5:38 AM in response to Bill in Palo Altoby Helge Schwarz,In a nutshell, either hold the iOS device all time in your hand or bring aditional hardware zu cooperate meetings and install an apple tv prior the presentation.
Seriously, what idiot did design this?
What is going to happen, if this app isn't getting bluetooth presenter support very quick, that Windows Phone will comewith Powerpoint and Bluetooth support. And at that moment, Apples future in cooperates is over before it started.

Dec 30, 2011 11:07 AM in response to Starfish Dayby Pietro777,For Mac are here some remote controlers for Keynote. They have also bluetooth version, but it is probably only for Mac.

Jan 3, 2012 1:50 PM in response to Bill in Palo Altoby johnniefromportland,I have the same problem outlined above. I am running 5.0.1 on an iPad 2 and on an iPhone 3. I can get the wifi connection at home but not a work (due to the network wifi security confirguration). I cannot get a bluetooth connection between the remote on the iPhone and keynote on the iPad. I have tried everything above except the hotspot connection because it is not worth an extra $20 a month for me to activate the hotspot. Since the remote will not connect over the work wifi network, I doubt that the Apple TV option will work wither. I can connect a remote desktop solution at work using an assigned IP address.
So far, no solutions in this long post.
Not happy with Apple.

Jan 21, 2012 7:21 AM in response to johnniefromportlandby Daver12,Create your own wifi with a cheap wifi router. Just plug it into the wall (don't connect it's Internet jack). The DHCP server is usually turned on by default, so your Apple TV, iPad, and iPod/iPhone should now show you the new network under "available wifi networks". Select it and you should be connected. You won't have internet, but you don't need it just to connect devices to each other.
Here's a $30 router that will probably work:
The above is a simple/quick way to create a wifi network, but you should probably also add wifi security to the router and you might have to change the subnet to something out of the ordinary so that it doesn't interfere with an existing network.
We have an Apple TV connected to our projector. Our iPads flawlessly connect to the Apple TV, then we can use iPhones to remotely control the iPad. Since the iPad is no longer tethered to a VGA dongle, you could also just hold your iPad. We also have a Linksys wifi router that we take when we go outside of our office so that the above devices all automatically connect to it since it's already been added to the device wifi connections.
In my oinion, wifi for this setting is better than Bluetooth because of the range. You probably won't drop the connection with wifi by walking to far out into your audience while presenting.
Note: You should add a password to your Apple TV so that audience members with an iPad cannot take over your presentation. Of course this wouldn't be an issue if you add security to your wifi connection, which I highly recomend.
Hope that helps,
Dave

Jan 21, 2012 7:43 AM in response to Daver12by Pietro777,Dave, that's pretty solution. Is there the possibility to control remotely on the stage the presentation with some remote colntoller, but not iPhone? Something like here: http://www.apple.com/apple-events/ look on the pictures, they have some remote controller with antenna.
