I am using a 13 inch Retina MacBook Pro with Yosemite and an iPhone 4s with iOS 9.
I want to record game tutorials.
I've tried to use the QuickTime Player to screen record but the little arrow on the right side of the record button doesn't show my iPhone video, only the microphone.
Is there any good, free way to do it?
Try the following:
If this doesn't work, call Apple Support
If your devices have OS X Yosemite and iOS 8 or anything newer, there's a built-in way to do this via a wired connection.
Quit QuickTime on your Mac if it is open.
Connect your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to your Mac via a Lightning or USB-C Cable.
Open QuickTime on your Mac, and select File > New Movie Recording.
A recording window will appear. Click the arrow next to the Record button, and select your iPhone from the dropdown menu that appears.
Click the Record button and go about your business on your iPhone.
Once you're done, click the Stop button and save the video.

QuickTime Player can only mirror iOS devices with Lightning connectors. If you want to mirror an iPhone 4s, you'll need to purchase one of the AirPlay Mirroring apps like AirServer.
