I've got the Air Display I've installed on the iPad and I'm going to run that to get ready. So here I have my MacBook Air and my iPad 4th gen and they are both working on the same wi fi network. There is also software for Windows as well so you can do the same thing. Then you go to Air Display and in there you can download the software you need for your Mac. You get linked to it when you get the app. Then you want to go on your Mac to the website which is. You can see right now it is ten dollars and of course prices always vary in a store and you buy that and download it. So you can do that right on your iPad if you want. The first thing you need is to search for Air Display in the iTunes App Store for your device. You're already carrying your iPad with you so why not use it as a second display. But it is very handy if you just want to occasionally have a second monitor and you don't want to buy another piece of equipment or if you travel a lot and you have your MacBook and you want to have the luxury of having a second screen. So it is not something you would want to use at your desk in your office or at home. Now this is going to be slower and it is not going to be as convenient as actually having a second display, and displays are pretty cheap. Then you can use your iPad as a second display with your Mac.

What you do is you install the app Air Display on you iPad and then you install some software on your Mac that will allow it to see the iPad on the same wi fi network as another display. So there are several apps that do this but I use the one called Air Display.
