Work a iPad mini as screen for Mac mini?

I Have a iPad mini 1 and I think about to buy a Mac mini, could I use the iPad as the screen for the Mac?
best regards

There are apps that allow you to use an iOS device as a secondary screen for a computer. Search the App Store. Here are some:

There are also apps that allow you to control a computer using the iOS device. Some are the free for non-commercial use TeamViewer and the paid GoToMyPC and LogMeIn

  • Use 24 in iMac as a screen for mac mini

    Can I use 24 in iMac as screen for mac mini?

    I can see that there is no way to use the iMac screen thru standard methods.  As the iMac is out of warranty and the DVD/CD drive no longer works I am willing to have the iMac's case opened and have some jerry-rigged solution installed.  Does anyone have an idea as to how that can be done 

  • What is the price of new screen for mac air 11'', coz mine is broken

    what is the price of new screen for mac air 11'' in singapore, coz mine is broken, the lcd crashd, whatever

    You may have to check local official authorized Apple service providers for a price or estimate on the cost of repair parts and labor; there may be other companies than those officially listed in the locator page here http://www.apple.com/sg/service/ in the Singapore area, that can do the job. Be wary of those not Authorized or Certified, since these may not use the correct parts or may not be properly trained in the repair procedure.
    In the case of a computer still under offiical original or extended Apple warranty, when accidental damages cause need for a repair, be sure to get the damage fixed in an authorized repair facility so as to keep the remainder of the offiical warranty in effect. Unofficial repairs by unqualified persons can void the remainder of a factory warranty; while the damage may not be covered at all, the rest of the computer could retain coverage if it is repaired correctly using Apple trained and authorized service personnel and original equipment parts.
    So, be sure if you find a shop that can do a repair, that it won't make matters worse by performing inexact or  sub-par service; and if the computer no longer has an official warranty on the remainder of the unit (outside of the accidental damages not covered anyway) you may be able to find a good display, new or used, and have another service company replace the one in your MB/Air. Depending on what build year-model MB/Air 11" you have, the parts may vary; so be sure to research whoever can do this job, so it may be done correctly. 
    There are independent authorized Apple repair agents with certified technicians who use correct parts, so maybe you can find one in your region; at least to initially research the costs involved in restoring the MB/Air.
    Not sure which model you have, but for something out of warranty or damaged in a way to no longer be covered, you may see what may be involved in doing a repair or parts swap, yourself; the following may be helpful in restoring this model.Or give you an idea, should it be too technical for a DIY fix.

    What if you have a situation where Restore did not work. I do. The ipad mini says it is disabled, connect to itunes. When connected, it says that it is locked! I have tried using Recovery/Restore but after it completed, the ipad mini still malfunctions. It does not allow you to start the device. The slide image keeps dancing around the screen. The opening page keeps changing in size and the keyboard types on its own! What can be done to fix this????????

    Maybe a reset would help, to be followed by trying the recovery again.
    To reset, hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.  Then do the recovery.
    If this doesn't solve it, I recommend visiting an Authorized Apple Service Center.

  • Is it possible to use an iPad as the display for Mac Mini?

    Can an iPad 2 be used as the monitor on a Mac mini? Either by using Air Display or by cabling?

    Yes !
    You can use iPad as the display for your mac mini. but it will be your secondary display .. i.e. you need to have a primary display other that iPad.
    use teamviwer for that.

  • Safari not working on ipad mini

    Hello, I can"t seem to get Safari working on my ipad mini. The screen is unresponsive and the text input boxes cannot have any text inputted. I have gone thru the various remedys I have found in this and other forums and nothing has worked. I brought it into an Apple store for a Genius to try and remedy and the inital troubleshooting didn't work. They tried a reboot, reset, and finally a new restore and the results were all the same.....nothing. They then took a brand new iPad mini out of a sealed box and setup that one. Believe it or not, after setting it up the same problem occured on this new iPad mini! So I asked to have my original iPad back as it had a personalization etched on the back but was told it was already swapped out and they couldn't return it to me. So now I have a brand new iPad mini that exhibits the same problem of Safari not working and also the advice from the Genius that in a couple of days Apple will have an update. I haven't seen any updates as yet so I am asking anyone on this forum if they have a solution to get Safari working. By the way everything else on the unit functions, I can surf using Chrome, read emails, etc.
    Thank you

  • Google hangout video chat won't work on iPad Mini and AppleTV

    every time we try to use Apple TV with Google Hangout on our Ipad Mini (with the Google hangout app) the screen goes blank the second the video chat window shows up.
    Up to that point, Apple TV mirrors everything perfectly (other apps, videos, internet, etc). Is this a bug or some kind of device limitation that prevents Hangout on the Ipad Mini? we already downloaded all the updates both on the iPad mini and the Apple TV console. Our Apple Tv/ Hangout setup does work on the same rig when we use a Mac Mini computer instead of the iPad mini. Our wifi is using the Apple Airport router.
    Many thanks

  • Access to Control panel not working on iPad mini with ios7

    Control center too difficult to access within apps or lock screen or home screen.
    Swiping up from the bottom works once every 30 swipes.
    Definitely a bug in ios7 while using my iPad mini.
    Apple, please fix this.

    Wait, just found a fix.
    You must swipe multiple times (quickly) from the bottom to access it.
    That seems to work, and not as finicky as I thought initially.
    I could easily get used to it this way, however Apple doesn't explain accessing it this way, so they should update the ios7 video for iPads if this is how the control panel was designed.

  • Personal Hotspot not working between iPad Mini and iPhone 6 Plus

    The personal hotspot function between my iPad Mini and iPhone 5C worked perfectly.
    I am now using an iPhone 6 Plus with the same iPad Mini and cannot establish a connection at all.
    Bluetooth and Wifi are enabled on both devices and the iPad says it has found my phone, displays the signal strength, 4G, battery remaining and 2 linked circles.
    When I choose that hotspot it tries to connect then just keeps saying "Remote Hotspot Failure. Unable to start Personal Hotspot. Stuart's iPhone 6Plus"
    Please help!

    Are both compatible devices / carriers?

  • Siri not working on iPad mini on iSO 6.1.3

    Hi, I updated my software for my  iPad mini to iSO 6.1.3 and Siri doesn't work.  When I hold the home button Siri comes up and when I say something nothing happens. Under general i have Siri on, language as English, voice feedback always, privacy setting Siri is on. I have done a reboot and still nothing. I got the iPad mini end of February so it's only 2 months old. Has anyone else had the same problem? Please let me know if you guys have tips for me or need more details. I have tried to explain it the best as I can. Thnx

    It's not the wifi cuz I have four bars (full connection) for my wifi connection and I don't have problem with surfing the net. The problem started after the latest software update.
