Remote Ipad Access

Post by bfcbri » Thu Apr 11, 2019 3:37 pm

I am currently having a bit of a technical dilemma and was hoping someone in here could help.

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or have had experience of, preferably, of any software that will allow me to remotely connect to an Ipad from a PC and control the screen on the ipad from my PC

I have messed around for ages trying to find something that will work simply for the Ipad user and as yet have been unable to find a suitable solution

Fingers crossed that someone in here will be able to help

UTC!!

I'm led to believe that its not possible to remote control an iPad (or any iOS device for that matter) because Apple dont permit it. I have used Teamviewer for remote screen sharing though, so you can see what is on the iPad.

Thanks for that

I have tried teamviewer along with loads of other options and unfortunately as you say they only tend to allow you to see rather than control :-(

Will keep my fingers crossed that someone knows of something although I am not holding my breath

I assume you'll need to jailbreak it. Why not go down the android route, that OS is designed to allow the scenario you're suggesting.

All above my pay grade I’m afraid but a search brought up the link, which is full of info if not exactly what you require. Looks like you need hands on both ends.

thanks all

I thought Jailbreaking may be the answer but not being an ipad expert have avoided this route but willing to give it go

The ios version the ipad is on is 9.3.5 if anyone can provide me some info on how to do this

Also is this something you have to pay to do?

Cheers
