I do not have an IPad, but if it is bluetooth capable, this device should work.

John, please read my original review of this device. I found this device VERY disappointing. I suggest you check out the Logitech series, you will like it much better!

I tested that on my iPad 4 and it did NOT work. So, I would presume the answer to be NO also for the iPad mini. Sorry.

I use my iPad and an app called "Presentation Link" to run PDFs as presentations. I could not get the app to respond to the Pointer. I tried iBooks too and it worked, though in iBooks there's no way to get rid of the "page-turn" effect so it wasn't useful to me. I worked with a great technician at Satechi and we were unable to find a compatible app that would work with the Pointer and allow me to set transitions to "None". It was a handsome and well made device that does exactly what the description says: "Works with Keynote on iOS (in accessibility mode), Keynote, Powerpoint, Google Docs, Prezi on Mac & PC" At the Apple store when I asked about a remote for the iPad they suggested I ask Best Buy. That's when I should have known it was time to sell my Apple stock.

may depend on I-pads docs to projector. If bluetooth is used , then maybe! My kids' ipad has no video out port but I have not tried it that way. LCD would have to be bluetooth equipped

I tried it on an iPad, and I could not get it to find the device via bluetooth. I also tried using different free printer apps including AirPrint and PrinterShare and none worked. Sorry.

I think the product description has not been updated. I have the iPad Mini and it works! In fact, it should work with every iOS device with Bluetooth.

Of course, it will be work with your iPad mini 2. Actually, it will work with any Bluetooth device

Sorry, I do not have the iPad mini and cannot help answer your question. I use it with my MacBook Pro.

I don't own an Ipad so I can't say via experience, but I have the same IOS and bluetooth, so I don't see why not. Their website specifically mentions the iPad as one of the supported devices

Not directly. There is an incompatibility with bluetooth. There is a third party bluetooth converter for ~$150 that will allow it to work. For me, I take the measurements and input them into my iPad drawing program manually.

According to Satechi it is not working."Update: The Bluetooth Smart Pointer will not work in Keynote, iBooks and PowerPoint on iOS devices running iOS 8. We have contacted Apple to resolve this issue and are awaiting a response. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your patience. Please return to this page for updates"http://www.satechi.net/index.php/satechi-bluetooth-smart-pointer-mobile-presenter-black-and-remote-control-for-iphone-ipad-ipod-touch-samsung-galaxy-s3-note-2-imac-macbook-air-macbook-pro-macbook-mac-mini-and-apple-tv-3

Yes. I am running 8.1.3 and it works great on my iPad Air 2. I wanted this to advance presentation slides and contrary to some of the reviews it really works! Keynote- Yes "compatibility mode" and must turn on General &gt; Accessibility &gt; VoiceOver PDFs Reader- Yes "compatibility mode" and must turn on General &gt; Accessibility &gt; VoiceOver With VoiceOver on I found it difficult to navigate around the iPad or in some apps. But wait even better..... PowerPoint- "compatibility mode" OR "Presentation mode". No other settings adjustment necessary and it works beautifully. This will now be my presentation software of choice. This Satechi remote will finally solve years of frustration using iPhone to control Keynote, which suffers from massive connection issues, delays in flipping slides, and running down my phone's battery.

To control a powerpoint show, it will need to be connected to a laptop or computer. If you have a remote for your laptop, you could use it to advance a show. I do not know the answer to your bluetooth question. Sorry about that!

Generally you need to select a different audio output from your source device. I watched a movie from my ipad mini connected to the projector via a HDMI cable and used bluetooth for the sound to my Bose headset. I am going to try a bluetooth dongle to hook up a surround sound system. So far the wireless projection is pretty much false advertising. From an iPad it only does pictures and documents loaded in a special app. No video, PPT, etc. Useless!!!

Susan, I use this with my IPad so hopefully someone who uses it for the purposes to which you want to use can assist. Ron

I dont know if you have a mic input on the Ipad? If you do then yes, If not check if they sell an adaptor that you can plug in a mini plug.

Nope. Not compatible with iPad Mini, as far as the connector is concerned anyway. The iPad mini has the new dock connector. This unit has the old 30-pin connector. However, it can work fine with an iPad mini via Bluetooth, or 3.5mm audio miniplug.

Yes it will work with a mini ipad. In general what you do is put batteries in the keyO, put your ipad device in Bluetooth discovery mode, while it is searching press the button on the underside of the keyboard till the light begins flashing on the top. the ipad mini or other device should find a keyboard. Click on the keyboard to add, and a code comes up on your device, enter these numbers into the keyboard and press enter. Wait a few minutes for the driver to be loaded and then you can type away. Thanks for the question and feel free to ask others.
