[QUOTE="Mike416, post: 1578529, member: 239745"] Thanks for finding that alternate device. You're correct that having a laser pointer is a great tool to have. I agree a dedicated device would probably be better than using an iOS device. But the technology I described is actually built into Keynote. It used to be that you apparently would need an app called "Remote". Now the Apple website says this feature is built directly into Keynote. It's described here: [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6112]Using Keynote Remote[/url] iOS devices can supposedly be used to control each other within Keynote. I installed Keynote on my iPad 4th gen and the older iPod Touch 4th gen and they couldn't find each other when I tried to switch that feature on. I was very disappointed that in settings on the iPad the iPod Touch could not even be found. My iPad has discovered and connected with a wide variety of devices. My suspicion is iOS 6 and iOS 7 compatibility issues for this process, particularly when using the older iPod Touch. I will investigate getting a remote like Satechi offers. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
