I want to be able to mirror my iPad Pro to my Mac screen. I have tried Thunderbolt (USBC) to Thunder Bolt 2, but I get an error message with ‘Cannot Use Thunderbolt Accessory. Thunderbolt Accessory are not supported.’ Here is what I am working with. Any help is greatly appreciated.
iPad Pro, iPadOS 13
There are third-party applications that run on the Mac and allow you to AirPlay wirelessly to the application, which will display on your Mac screen. I tried a few that seemed to work OK, but I decided that wouldn't use them enough to pay for one of them. (The most promising were AirServer and Reflector 3, as I recall.)
Don’t forget, you can “mirror” via HDMI to an external monitor or TV - or via AirPlay to an AppleTV box.
Your iPad cannot natively mirror its display to a Mac.
The Mac with OS Catalina can extend its desktop display to an iPad running iPadOS using the Sidecar feature, but not the reverse.
Got it. I was hoping for a work around. I appreciate the quick feedback.
Yes. I have been doing that. I was just hoping for myself that my screen wasn’t going obsolete. I pretty much only use my iPad Pro now. Maybe I will just have home first workstation.
