I’m looking forward to the new Mac Mini, which is expected very soon (late Oct 2024), which will be extremely portable so this can be even easier to do.
TY! Your solution is great for when a monitor fails (or gets fiddly) and you need backup. But it’s even better for headless Mac Mini (or Studio) setup and maintenance. Furthermore, this is great to make Mac Mini/Studio travel-worthy… without some (huge or fiddly mini) monitor. I already have an iPad so using it makes all the sense in the world, and reduces extra gear (like buying/carrying a monitor just to get a headless computer running). Thank you!
This was fantastic and worked perfectly. Thank you for making this. I changed the resolution on the Mac mini to make it larger, but haven’t found a perfect solution to getting rid of black border in cameo.
Actually this how I Mac compute and I love it. I use my iPad Pro as the main and only display for my headless M1 Mac mini with wireless sidecar via VNC. I wish Apple made this an easier out of the box connection. For example, a simple solution would be in Mission Control on the iPad Pro, I should be able to tap Screen Mirroring and “PULL” the Mac mini “screen” to my iPad if it’s on the same iCloud account and network. To start using my current setup, first I had to connect my Mac mini to my HDMI TV since I don’t have a monitor and I had to connect a mouse and a keyboard, but once set up to do all the necessary setup, I no longer need the mouse, keyboard or display to operate my Mac. I just launch VNC on my iPad Pro, type in my password and my Mac mini display shows up on my iPad and I can do all my my computing I need to. Luckily i don’t need to do anything pro and require fine touch point editing, the Mac is better at batch processing and batch editing like adding tags in the photo app and file management. Also, some BitTorrent archiving and backing-up to my personal iCloud. I wouldn’t mind if to get MacOS on the iPad Pro, Apple choose this route, wired or wireless as A Main use case instead of only as an alternate use case as it is now. Give us faster 1:1 response time. When connected, the Mac OS and the iPadOS merge into one cohesive experience instead of a mirroring experience, doubling the processing while exchanging data, in a synchronize experience. I’m sure this is hard to do because a risk of data loss for unexpected Disconnection either wire or Wireless. But I’m sure Apple can make it a great user experience and they will get the sale of a Mac computer like the Mac mini or the Mac studio or whatever and the sale of iPad Pro for people who want to compute this way. An individual Mac experience as it is now, an individual iPadOS experience as it is now, and a new unique combine computing experience for those who want macOS on iPad Pro hardware. I’ve suggested this use case in Apple feedback for years, but it seems to be falling in deaf ears, so I guess the more people who request this type of computing experience of a combine macOS and iPad hardware experience would have to file their own feedback suggestion also. My Mac mini is pretty much in one location at home because it connected to multiple external hard drives but I can use my iPad Pro wirelessly to Mac computer. But I like your solutions with the HDMI connection dongle, the wireless mouse and the Bluetooth keyboard. Whenever I get a new Mac mini with more internal hard drive space I’ll be able to eliminate the external hard drives and I will have more flexibility of a portable Mac mini all self-contained that I can physically connect to my iPad Pro and I have even greater best of both worlds of macOS and iPadOS and portability.
Interesting, so coupled with VNC sidecar will work headless? The new Mac minis have thunderbolt ports will that be able to get use the data for display?
I got a 2018 ipad pro to use as a laptop while im saving for an m1 macbook. I got an ipad because I can still use it after I get my macbook. I cant wait to use use it as a second screen!

is there a way to power the iPad while using it? Thanks a lot
I think there are some adaptors with multiple ports which include HDMI in addition to USB-C so you can feed power to the iPad while it’s connected
Question: can i use my old macbook pro as the monitor instead of the ipad and be able to use both as you demo-ed in the video?
@@nohahesham9718 you can, but the software on the Mac would need to bevsimething else. I’ll checkm*ntomit and maybe do a video.
@LearningandTechnology that will be awesome. Thank u
Dang. Wish I had seen this a month ago!
Hi, superb! I don’t know this can be done. But why can’t you use the iPod keyboard and trackpad with Continuity feature as the mac keyboard? They are on the same wifi and Apple id right?
Actually this should work
This is a great solution for working from bed - I have my ipad mounted on an arm over my head, split keyboard by my sides. My bad back thanks you!
