Air Display, Not Such an Easy Install
"The ability to use your iPad as a second display sure sounds enticing. Granted, it was more when I was working with a 13" MacBook instead of a 27" iMac, but still, it's handy to have. Avatron claims their Air Display app for iPad (compatible with iPhone and iPod touch) is a simple, powerful way to do it. I suppose that's true...when it works." If the instructions above go as planned, you will be up and running in no time, but if they don't, the reviewer states that "you will be in for a long night." Instead of just happening to me, it appears that not all installs go according to plan for others too. It's bittersweet for me, makes me feel not so alone but I feel their pain. If you were considering Air Display, this is worth a read.
