Mac Mini, ipad and sidecar question.

[woohoo]

I can use my ipad as a monitor for my mac mini. The ipad works fine with sidecar as a monitor but if I reboot the mac I have to connect it to my main monitor and go through the process of setting up the ipad as a monitor. It's a pain because I have to switch out monitor cables.

Is there anyway to setup the ipad as the default monitor? So even after I reboot the login screen will appear on the ipad.

I know this is pretty niche but you never know

Get the butler to swap the cables out for you?

I use Duet to set up my iPad. Pretty painless I find.

I wish but the train drivers strike has inspired him. And now he actually wants to be paid.

So after your mac restarts does the ipad automatically connect as a monitor?

No, not automatic but I don’t have to switch cables.

No idea but good question. I'd ask over at https://apple.stackexchange.com/

I've asked a few places, honestly I avoid the hassle of asking question on stackoverflow.

Edit. I've asked on stackexchange. Lets see whats wrong with my question.

Bloody poor people. Always find a way to piss us off don't they.

My iPad keeps turing into an extension for my Macbook, for the love of god I wish I knew how to stop it happening, every so often I try to find which screen the mouse is on and its the fecking iPad!
