That won't work. In order for the fix to work, you first need to launch and link pic transfer on the iPad and the iPhone, then launch Keynote and Apple Remote. You have to do this each time. It's a huge pain.


For most of my lectures I've had to switch back to Microsoft PowerPoint on a Windows machine until Apple fix this. I can understand that some technology falls by the wayside, but not after two months.

I had same problem and this solution fixed it.


Shout down Bluetooth service on the iPad then on the iPhone. Shout off and restart both devices. Start up Bluetooth on the iPad then on the iPhone then pair them with your remote.


It worked for me, so now I gomthroughnthat routine everytime I have a presentation to insure I have no problems.


Good Luck

I tried for the first time to use Keynote for the Ipad (1) and remote for the Iphone (4) today and they would not pair at all.

I read all these posts then tried this and it worked (at least on my home wifi network- I have never gotten bluetooth to work at all).


1. launch keynote on the Ipad

2. launch keynote on the iphone

3. in Advanced settings in KN for the Ipad select Remote

4. open remote for KN on the iphone

5. Iphones numeric code is sent to Ipad KN and they pair and work
