This is a pretty basic configuration, but it works reliably – it doesn’t seem to recognize the Menu button on my remote so I assume this is a limitation of the generic HID driver. The up/down buttons still map to the Mac volume control. Now when you are in presenter mode in PowerPoint the left button will back-up one slide, the right and centre buttons will advance to the next slide. If you get an error about loading the HID plugin, then you may need to add it manually, right-click on HID: Apple Computers Inc IR Receiver and choose configure (you may have to remove/add it again as the file I exported may have device-specific IDs that don’t match yours exactly) I would also suggest setting it to run at logon via the file/Options menu
You will get some driver being installed mumbo-jumbo in Windowsĭownload and install the latest build of EventGhostĭownload and extract the configuration file I have created hereĬhoose File/Open and locate the configuration file you downloaded. Map the Apple IR receiver to your VM (screenshot shows it already connected here) When it’s finished, run Apple Update to get the latest version (you’ll probably have an older version unless you have a brand-new Mac, reboot required)
Install the BootCamp Drivers from the DVD (will require a reboot)
Insert your OS X installation CD into your Windows VM (not the Mac, the DVD seems to be dual-format and has some partitions that only show up in a Windows host) you can do this via the virtual machine CD/DVD menu in Fusion as shown below You can process Microsoft Office files like Word, Excel and PowerPoint as well as JPG.
POWERPOINT REMOTE FOR MAC PDF
I recently purchased a remote control for my MacBook Pro so that I could use it to control presentations without having to be at the keyboard, rather than opt for anything flashy I just assumed I could use the normal Apple Infra-red Remote Control, install the Bootcamp drivers to my Win7 VM and use it with PowerPoint, ah how wrong I was!Įven with the Bootcamp drivers installed Powerpoint does not recognize the IR remote as a “clicker” so after some head-scratching and a bit of Google-Fu I came up with the following solution Read and edit PDF directly on your Windows or Mac PC with iLovePDF.
