This works even with a late 2012 Mac mini and 2017 iPad! Needed to connect to TV via hdmi AND iPad at the same time to get it to work because my Mac mini has 3 different user accounts. Thank you so much Muhammad!! You saved me a small fortune!

Works perfectly with an very old iPad on My Mac mini M2. I paid 9 euros and the touchscreen works !!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Just installed this. It works perfectly. Also, the magic keyboard on my iPad operates the screen perfectly. for $7.99, this is remarkably simple and inexpensive way to make the iPad the primary (only) display for the Mini when you need it.

How can you charge the battery of the IPad while using as an external monitor?

im now more convinced to get the mac mini :))

If I have the official Apple magic keyboard for the iPad Pro 12.9’, will I be able to use the keyboard with the Mac mini? It would be great bc it’s already on a perfect display position. Otherwise, I would use that keyboard or something to prop it up and stick to my Mac’s wireless keyboard.
Thanks !

How can installed softwares in MacMini interact with iPad's apps, e.g. sharing audio and documents?

Hi Muhammad Hasan,
I like your video but can you do something with your microphone quality? The Quality from your Video generally is good, but a bit more clarity with your sound would be perfekt.

I appreciate this video; I eventually got Yam display to work for this purpose and it cost only $8.00. I could not figure out how to get the Mac to bypass the user name during login, and therefore had trouble doing the login blind…. I elected to enable auto-login, but would like to get password login back if I ever figure it out.

Thanks for this video. Will the iPad monitor also work as a touch screen following this method?
