If you’re presenting your slides using Keynote<\/a> on your MacBook, you can use your iPhone with the iPhone Keynote Remote app<\/a>\u00a0to advance your pressentation, as well as preview your next slides.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately many enterprise Wi-Fi networks, including Carleton’s CU-Wireless, are not compatible with Bonjour protocol that the iPad uses. So here’s one\u00a0workaround:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Plug your MacBook into the projector, as per usual.
    \nTip:<\/strong>\u00a0Keep a     VGA dongle<\/a>, appropriate for your MacBook, in your laptop bag.<\/li>\n
  2. [Optional \u2013 Internet Connectivity]
    \nIf you need Internet connectivity during your presentation, plug your MacBook into the provided Ethernet socket.
    \nTip:<\/strong>\u00a0Keep\u00a0an Ethernet patch cord, and if your MacBook needs one, a\u00a0    USB-to-Ethernet dongle<\/a>, in your laptop bag.<\/li>\n
  3. Create<\/strong> a Wi-Fi network using your MacBook<\/strong>
    \n\u2022 Apple icon > System Preferences\u2026 > Network > Wi-Fi > Create Network\u2026 > Security > Password
    \nAdvanced Tip<\/strong>: You can avoid using your laptop to create the Wi-Fi network for your iPhone, by instead placing a pre-configured     Airport Express<\/a> in-line with with your MacBook Ethernet connection. Just plug the Ethernet cable intended for your laptop into the Airport Express, and run a 2nd Ethernet cable from the Airport Express to your laptop.<\/li>\n
  4. Join your iPhone to the Wi-Fi network you just created.
    \n\u2022 Settings > Wi-Fi > [select network you created]<\/li>\n
  5. Launch Keynote Remote<\/strong> app on our iPhone
    \n\u2022 Keynote Remote > Settings \u00a0> [Select MacBook or New Keynote Link\u2026]<\/li>\n
  6. Launch Keynote<\/strong> on your Mac
    \n\u2022 Keynote > Preferences\u2026 > Remote > [Check] Enable iPhone and iPod Touch Remotes<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    After Presentation:<\/strong> To restore Wi-Fi internet connectivity to your laptop after the presentation, select your normal Wi-Fi hotspot.<\/p>\n

    Tip:<\/strong>\u00a0Mute your iPhone to avoid interruptions. For any incoming calls, one press of power on\/off button stops the vibrating; two presses sends the call immediately to voicemail.<\/p>\n
