IPad – view iPad screen from Mac

ipadvideo

There are several questions that ask whether you can control an iPad from a Mac (like this one). But is it possible to view your iPad screen from a Mac when it's plugged in via USB or wirelessly without jailbreaking it?

I can remote login to my Mac at work and my iPad is connected so I can debug on it via XCode, but I can't see the results.

Best Answer

You can with Yosemite & iOS 8

Launch Quicktime player & select File > New Movie Recording [Cmd/opt/N]
Click on the small downward-facing triangle next to the record button. This lets you select an alternate recording source, which now includes your iPhone or iPad.
