Simply click on the AirPlay icon and allow it to connect\/disconnect to your iPad. From there you can move any open windows to it. Works like a charm! The quicker way to move a Window over is the drop down displayed through the green full-screen button (right next to the red and orange buttons). The options include &#8220;Enter Full Screen&#8221;, Tile Window to Left of Screen&#8221;, &#8220;Tile Window to Right of Screen&#8221;, and &#8220;Move to iPad Pro&#8221;. Not only is it quick, but this will also resize to your iPad display automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> For help with any MacOS problems, call us at\u00a0<a href=\"tel:1-800-620-5285\">1-800-620-5285<\/a>. \u00a0Karls Technology is a nationwide computer service company with offices in many major cities.
