Adding multiple monitors to your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook air is not as difficult as it may seem. This article is a tutorial that shows you what you need to run multiple monitors as well as how to get Start by connecting your first monitor using the Apple Mini DisplayPort or Mini DVI adapter.
Hello All, My boss is looking for portable and huge horse powered machine for different purposes. So he chosen brand new Mac Pro, which is having great combination, memory, SSD and Graphics card etc. At office, he will connect Mac Pro with normal Monitor or TV which supports HDMI. But when he go out of office for presentations etc. He wants to carry Mac Pro and his iPad Pro, so he can connect iPad Pro as a Monitor (not secondary/external) with Mac Pro. Is it possible to use in this way?
On other hand, he may want Windows on Mac Pro due to applications compatibility (not sure about Windows, just checking possibilities), so if iPad Pro can be connected with Mac Pro on MacOS, it can be with Windows also, is it? I found iDisplay software to connect iPad as second monitor, but here query is about Main monitor on Mac Pro. Thank you for your help! There are third party apps on the iPad which are available for this such as Duet Display but I have found them to lag.
You could try the Luna Display which uses a hardware adaptor - I don't know if either of these will let you use the iPad as the main display. Your boss would be better off with a MacBook Pro when at presentations, if he still needed more processing power when he was outside the office then I'd recommend that he should be remotely connecting to his MacPro which would still be in the office. The cold hard REAL answer to this is: No. Just because we can do something doesn't mean you should or that it's a good idea in fact it's a bad idea. One can sort of get this to work but not really as being asked.
It will be as a shared display not a/the primary display, period. Even under IDEAL circumstances with a known-good network set up, available and working appropriately, there will be LAG. Not without pretty far out there workarounds (I've thought of one) that are extremely 'kludge-y' and a bad idea for a boss-type mindset who - unrealistically - is going to expect such a bad idea to 'just work' when it was never ever designed to work in this way, at all. Sometimes in IT (to use a very broad and sweeping, over-generalized categorization), it is our job to see a train-wreck looming because of an ill-conceived idea (especially when it's based on a significant misunderstanding of one or more technologies) and stop it from happening. Boss-man will be better of with a MacBook Pro, or if for some strange reason he really must port around the MacPro, then a small monitor.
Once he is or can be securely on any number of unknown networks (DANGER WILL ROBINSON!), then - potentially - he could use any number of methods to share the MacPro display with his iPad. We all understand that everyone has their own quirk and they like things a certain way. But we also understand that there are things that you have to let go to make life easier for you and for everyone else. And to be honest, if someone came in to do some business with me and they brought their Mac Pro, it's kind of silly. Just thinking in the PC world, it's like someone bringing their gaming rig to a presentation and spending half an hour setting up versus opening a lid in a few seconds. EDIT: In short, get a Macbook Pro(since you want power). Of course, I am looking for something that doesn't depend on network.
Like I said, I was checking for solution with iDisplay, Duet Display etc. What I realized after looking into Duet display for example with Windows System or MacBook to use with iPad as a screen, we need to buy and setup an App on iPad and install a free application on Windows/Mac system, connect the lightning usb cable between iPad and Windows/Mac and run Duet Display on both iPad and Windows/Mac system, then we can use iPad as Screen. Here as we seen, we need to run/open Duet Display application on Windows/Mac, so if we don't have any monitor with Mac Pro, how can we run at all? And how can we use iPad as main monitor. So my understanding is we cannot use iPad as primary one. I have Duet and have run it in the past on a Mac Mini, and a couple of PCs.
