Worked flawlessly!!!! with a VERY OLD IPAD 4th Gen A1458, and a VERY VERY Old Macbook Air I5 (11inch, mid 2011) running mas OS High Sierra. It gave my old electronics a new purpose. Great buy! Thank you for the tip.

It worked without any issue with a macbook air m1 and an ipad mini 4. Ended up buying the display and air package, the air allows it to work without cable, a little bit of stutter but fine. Thanks for the tip

This is a really cool idea. So far I have the YAM app on the iPad Mini (1st Gen is on the ilst) and it is asking for a USB connection. On the Mac it is asking for a Air or wireless? connection. Just trying to get these two to talk the same connection type. I've lreached out to the developer for help.

It's all in the definition of 'old' iPad. I didn't get it to work on my old iPad. Probably because it's an iPad 3 😞 My mac keeps telling me to enabvle air mode by prefernces (which doesn'tr exist in preferences, but probably means airdrop and hand-off). My iPad 3 doesn't have airdrop or handoff so the iPad-app stays waiting on an USB connection. I have no clue how to get this to work on an old ipad.
