Does this remote work with an Ipad to run a PowerPoint presentation? How? Thank you

Maybe... There are three issues - hardware to connect the receiver to the iPad, whether the iPad will recognize the pointer function. If those two requirements are met, the software must recognize the remote, which should be like any other pointer device... The unit's wireless receiver plugs into a standard USB port, which the iPad does not have. If you can track down a USB to iPad adapter cable, or attach a male to female "gender changer" USB adapter on the end of the iPad's USB charging cable... whether the iPad or software "sees it", I cannot confirm.

Yes works with iPad. For iPads with a lightning connection you'll need a adapter.

Yes - it works fine with both. I have only tested the presenter features with PowerPoint (2010 and 2013). But as a mouse it works the same as any other mouse.

Ignore Brad's answer. There's no way to present a ppt directly from the projector. You can export your ppt from Powerpoint as individual JPGs, and then play those as a slideshow on the projector using the included remote. This sounds more difficult than it actually is. If any of your ppt slides have elements that fade-in, move, etc. that functionality is lost.

For starters ... the picture does NOT depict my remote ... but it's the same model number. Go figure! However, the Targus works fine with my MacBook Pro and MacBook Air (OSX 10.9.5). Have you attempted to: (1) switch the transmitter from one USB port to the other; (2) pushed the "Connect" button on the bottom; (3) Restarted your computer and ensured your bluetooth is set "ON"? Now ... do you understand that this mouse ONLY works with Apps in the PRESENTATION mode? That means Keynote, Powerpoint and Adobe Acrobat need to be in Presentation or Full Screen mode.

Hi, basically, yes (I'm using Tiger). When you plug the USB device in, the keyboard setup screen will pop up, and you'll have to ignore/close it, since Logitech doesn't provide drivers. The F5/start presentation button doesn't work in Powerpoint (I don't use Keynote), but the other buttons work (even the sound control). There might be better solutions for the Mac, but for me it works well enough.

I use this at work. I think it comes with an HDMI cable. I currently use it to run powerpoint presentations off my iPad with a apple 30 pin to HDMI adapter. I have also used a VGA cable from a PC. This is a very good little unit. It's quite bright and clear, even at 25 feet back.

I use it for keynote which is apple version of PP. Works great. I think this is a really good projector for the price

Mine would allow me to use my iPad as a remote when plugged in; however it did not charge the iPad. I should have returned it since it didn't do what I wanted.

Yes. I was amazed to find that it made the connection automatically without any input or changes to the laptop. Also, you can do almost everything with the remote. I was using a PowerPoint presentation and stood in front of the audience with the projector about 20 feet away, and changed slides with no problems.

You don't need a projector. It works with a desktop or laptop. When you click "next" on the remote, the PowerPoint slide moves to the next slide on your computer.

Hi Klee81, I'm am a worship leader at my church and I was searching for a good remote to operate powerpoint. I tried 3 other top rated brands only to return them to Amazon. They were cheaply made, at times in-operatble, and un-reliable! The SMK Jade was by far the best remote! It was also the most expensive, ($100 compared to others as high as $65) but in electronics I've found you only get what you pay for. After almost 1 year the remote works great and actually has more funtions than we need and more than most of the less expensive models. I hope that this is helpful as you make your decision. Great Product!! ...Dennis, dkhuddles

Yes, ofcourse, It works perfectly!! It's a great slide presentation tool. But I recommend to use It with Keynote. Using it at Powerpoint presentations may cause slide freezing. Actually it happens with anykind of slide presenter. I have a Targus, and even moving the presenter selector switch to Mac-Powerpoint presentation, the freezing happens anyway. So I believe it is a powerpoint issue and not the presenter device.

Christine: It took me months to figure this out and I am sorry to tell you that I gave up. I downloaded the remote on my iPad and it works perfectly OK. I had email "conversations" for months with a support person who was very patient and tried to figure this out. Then my brother in-law came to visit and he told me that I had to make sure EVERY TIME that the Bluetooth in Settings on iphone shows connected (same on iPad). It still did not work on the phone but worked fine on iPad. Now, after a few months, I can say Aleluya, it works just by going to the app and touching the power button to turn the device on. Good luck. Hope this helped. Eva

Yes, although I only have an iPad2, a friend successfully uses the L5 Remote on his iPad3 and iPod.

I'm not sure. First you need to connect it via USB extension to iPad Air. Btw. If you have an iPhone you can use iPhone as a remote.

Yes it can and I control it from my ipads as well! Very convenient! Each switch you get to name and it will show up on the app accordingly.
