t possible to mirror an iOS display to a Mac? I used to do this for presentations using Air Media Server, but it hasn't been updated since 2013, and AirPlay only streams to AppleTV?
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3), iOS 9.3
There are a couple of Apps not in App Store that allow you to Airplay to your Mac and record.
Reflector 2 and AirServer.
I was actually playing with both of these today and Reflector 2 is more to my liking. Both are paid apps.
With current versions of MAC OS and quicktime player, Is this still possible? When I plug in my iPhone it starts off iTunes (so I know the connection is good). But then when I open quicktime and start new movie recording the drop down arrow does not give any other options except my MAC????
You can do this in Quicktime, but it does require a wired connection. Do you need something wireless?
Apple TV only.
Swipe from the bottom up on any screen then tap AirPlay.
That will show you the devices you can stream to.
Goal is to improve demonstration of iPhone custom App to conference room audience - so wireless would be better, but wired is better than nothing. What port would Quicktime use on the Mac - is the latest USB fast enough or is there an iPhone to Lightning adapter needed?
As David explains, you can use QuickTime. You can simply use your Lightning to USB cable that came with your iPhone.
Open QuickTime, then click File > New Movie Recording > Press the "down" arrow near the red "record" button, and set it to your iPhone.
You don't have to press record; it will show the iPhone's screen regardless. You can hit record if you want to save your presentation, but it will also record voice using the computer's built in microphone.
Yes this works well in our own offices - but is a bit involved to set up for a client meeting (getting the appleTV onto a guest wifi network, getting the hdmi sync between appleTV and a projector, etc)
Via QuickTime Player help menu. I'm guessing this means you need an iOS device with a Lightning cable, as opposed to the old 30 pin cables. AirPlay is the only way to do this wirelessly, and an Apple TV makes that super easy.
EDIT: Use AirPlay to wirelessly stream content from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
You can probably get a 3rd party app to do this, but according to Apple, you have to have an Apple TV to use AirPlay
Thanks - that worked really well - had no idea Quicktime could use an external source. Makes it really easy to record a demo for later too
You can also enter Fullscreen and it will still "stream." Turning the phone sideways will also put the QuickTime screen into landscape mode.
Very nifty "trick" built into QuickTime Player!
I know a app which can mirror iOS display to Mac computer, on seeing the program, provided that you have stable WiFi network, you can find the AirPlay tab on ur iPhone, on opening the mirroring option, you can create connection between the phone and computer. Before using the app to mirror iOS to Mac, you need to make sure the iPhone support AirPlay.
Thank you for that answer!
What about if I want to record my Mac screen while also mirroring my iPad?
Will that still be possible with that method?
Thank you
Not 100% sure. While you have the iPad plugged in, try clicking File > New Screen Recording
I don't know if it will let you have both going at the same time.
