Sync content between your Mac and iPhone or iPad over Wi-Fi

You can sync your Mac and device when they’re connected over same Wi-Fi network. To set up Wi-Fi syncing, first connect your device to your Mac using a USB or USB-C cable. You then turn on Wi-Fi syncing and choose the settings you want. Whenever your device connects to your Mac over Wi-Fi, you can select it in the sidebar and sync it. (You can turn on automatic syncing if you want.) Your device must have iOS 5 or later or iPadOS 13 or later.

Connect your device to your Mac using a USB or USB-C cable.

In the Finder on your Mac, select the device in the Finder sidebar.

If you connect your device to your Mac using a USB cable and can’t see the device in the Finder sidebar, see If your device doesn’t appear in the sidebar.

Click General in the button bar.

Select the “Show this [device] when on Wi-Fi” tickbox.

Use the button bar to turn on and select sync settings.

Whenever your device connects to your Mac, the device’s icon appears in the sidebar. Select the device in the Finder sidebar to view or change syncing options.

Important: If you can’t see your device in the sidebar, choose Finder > Preferences, then select the CDs, DVDs and iOS Devices tickbox.

You can choose to sync your Mac and your device automatically whenever you connect them. See Turn automatic syncing on or off on Mac.

Before disconnecting your device from your Mac, click the Eject button in the Finder sidebar. The device icon disappears, but Wi-Fi syncing remains turned on. The icon reappears automatically the next time your Mac and device are connected to the same WI-Fi network.

Note: To restore your iPhone or iPad and revert it to its factory settings, you must connect the device to your Mac using a USB or USB-C cable.

Syncing over Wi-Fi is slower than syncing over a cable. If you connect a device to your Mac while the device is syncing over Wi-Fi, syncing continues over the cable. If you disconnect the device’s cable from the Mac while syncing, syncing stops even if Wi-Fi syncing is on. Syncing resumes when you reconnect the device using a cable or over Wi-Fi.

Two Different Ways to Mirror an iOS Device to a Mac

Screencast

Being able to demonstrate a feature, setting, or new application to a large group of people can be invaluable. Whether presenting a live keynote or online webinar, the ability to mirror an iOS device to the Mac’s display could mean the difference between success and failure.

Luckily, there are a couple of different ways to make this mirroring magic happen.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to mirror an iOS device to a Mac using either:

• QuickTime or
• Reflector with Airplay

I will also highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each method along the way.

Mirroring With QuickTime

The pros of mirroring with QuickTime are many. It doesn’t cost anything extra, the responsiveness is almost instant, and setting it up couldn’t be easier.

The only con is that it requires a wired connection between the Mac and iOS device.

Setting Up

Connect the iOS device to the Mac via a Lightning-to-USB cable. Note: This connection may cause iTunes and/or Image Capture to automatically launch. Those programs may start trying to syncing with the iDevice, and create lag. So be sure to close those applications before moving forward.

Once the device is connected, launch QuickTime. QuickTime will bring up a filepicker menu. The goal here isn’t to play an existing file, so click Done.

From the menu bar, click File, then New Movie Recording.

Setting iPhone as a QuickTime input

The default input device will be set to the iSight camera. To change it to the iOS device, click the down arrow next to the record button. Then select the iOS device from the camera list. The device’s screen will instantly appear and any actions taken on the device will be mirrored to the Mac’s display.

Mirroring the iPhone to Mac using QuickTime

An added advantage of this method is that the record button is just one click away. Using QuickTime’s built in recording feature makes creating iOS based screencasts a breeze.

Mirroring With Reflector

The largest pro of using Reflector is that it allows for mirroring without any wires. The mirroring works over Wi-Fi, much the same way that Mac or iDevices mirror to the AppleTV.

This also requires that both the Mac and iOS device be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. And the lack of wire could mean a bit more lag. It also requires a paid software be installed on the Mac. But Reflector does offer a free seven-day trial, so it is worth a download.

Downloading Reflector for Mac

• Open the web browser and go to http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/.
• Click Try Reflector, then Download Reflector.
• Download the .dmg file and open it.
• Drag Reflector to the Applications folder.
• Launch Reflector.
• Click Try Reflector.

You won’t see any windows or other application screens appear. Reflector will live in the dock until an iOS device is connected to it.

Turning on AirPlay Mirroring on an iOS device

On the iOS device, swipe up from the bottom bezel to open the Control Center. From the Control Center click AirPlay. Choose the Mac to which you wish to mirror from the list, then enable Mirroring.

Mirroring an iOS device to the Mac using Reflector

Conclusion

In this tutorial I showed you two different ways to mirror an iOS device to the Mac. I also pointed out their individual pros and cons along the way.

Using these techniques you could demonstrate a new application live and in person, host an interactive webinar, or even record a screencast. Give them both a shot and let me know how it goes in the comments below.

Use AirPlay to stream audio
