keynote remote

[fleeper]

is there any way to control keynote remotely on my MBA? I have tried using the keynote remote app via my iphone 4; I cannot get the two to connect via bluetooth or wifi. I am not sure that the issue is but this is a nogo. My MBA is the 2010 version and it is my understanding that the standard Apple remote will NOt control the keynote presentation.

Does anyone have any viable options or a good workaround? Thanks.

I think you could use an IR receiver with a remote to control slideshows and presentations. Something like this

Thanks, I will look into that.

It just irks me that the Keynote app on my iphone is not working correctly since the ios 5 update. An apple app for an apple product that does not work.

Even though I don't do presentations, I sorely miss the Apple Remote functionality of controlling Front Row Now I have to GET UP and WALK to my Air connected to my LCD Wasn't technology supposed to make us just lie on the couch and stare at the screens meaninglessly for hours

It's called an Apple TV2

Actually in my case its called 'not buying things you don't need' All I do is download *cough* torrent *cough* movies and play it on my LCD, and occasionally play music.. The apple remote was perfect for that.. Even its design language mimics the air
