My monitor/tv died, so I have nothing to use with my Mac mini. Can I use my iPad or MacBook Pro as a monitor for the Mac mini? Until life changes drastically, I cannot buy a new tv for monitor, so I can’t use the mini, unless one of these options work.
Mac mini, macOS 10.14
Depends on the model of iPad and Mac Mini you have.
See here: Use your iPad as a second display for your Mac with Sidecar - Apple Support
Though its not going to be just plug and play.
Outside of that, no, you will need to get yourself a new monitor or TV to connect your Mac Mini to.
Hello,
You could use a VNC client to remote into your Mac mini from an iPad or another Macintosh however you would need to set it up on the Mac mini beforehand which is sounds like that is not possible as you do not have a working display for your Mac mini.
Thank you, but it is an older Mac mini, so it wouldn’t be compatible. I bought a Duet app hoping to help, and something is happening, but I’m not connecting with the screen. A shame with all the time on our hands. Just wanted to get any info off it and wipe it out.
Thank you. Unfortunately, we’re in complete lockdown, and nothing is open on days we are opened up, other than for groceries. This seemed a perfect time to wipe it out.
Need something to use as a monitor for Mac mini
