Screen Mirroring Iphone to Mac
If you’ve ever wanted to share what’s on your iPhone screen with your Mac, you’re in luck. There are a few different ways to do this, and we’ll walk you through each one.
The first method is to use AirPlay.
This is built into iOS and macOS and is the easiest way to mirror your iPhone screen to your Mac. To do this, make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network and then open Control Center on your iPhone (swipe down from the top right corner). Tap the “Screen Mirroring” button and then select your Mac from the list of devices that appears.
Your iPhone’s screen will then be mirrored on your Mac.
If you don’t see your Mac in the list of devices, it may not be compatible with AirPlay or it may not be turned on in System Preferences > Displays > AirPlay Display.
Another way to mirror your iPhone screen to your Mac is with QuickTime Player.
This method works with any Mac running macOS Sierra or later and any iPhone running iOS 11 or later. First, connect your iPhone to your Mac using a Lightning cable (the cable that came with your iPhone). Then launch QuickTime Player on your Mac (you can find it in the Applications folder).
Click File > New Movie Recording in QuickTime Player and make sure the drop-down menu next to the record button is set to “iPhone.” You should see what’s on your iPhone’s display appear in QuickTime Player window on your Mac. Click the record button to start recording video of what’s happening onscreen (you can also record audio if you want).
To stop recording, click the stop button in QuickTime Player or press Command-Control-Esc. Your recording will automatically be saved as a MOV file.

How Can I Play a Video from My Iphone to My Computer?
It’s pretty easy to play a video from your iPhone to your computer. There are a few different ways to do it, so you can choose the method that works best for you.
One way to play a video from your iPhone to your computer is to use AirPlay.
AirPlay is a wireless streaming protocol that lets you share audio or video content between devices. To use AirPlay, you’ll need an Apple TV or another compatible device connected to your computer. Once everything is set up, just open the video on your iPhone and tap the AirPlay icon.
Then select your computer as the destination and the video will start playing on your screen.
Another way to play a video from your iPhone to your computer is by using iTunes. First, connect your iPhone to your computer using a Lightning cable (the same type of cable you use to charge it).
Then launch iTunes and click on the device icon in the upper-left corner of the window. Next, click on the “Movies” tab and then find the video you want to watch in the list of files. Finally, click on the “Sync” button in the lower-right corner of iTunes and wait for the transfer process to complete.
Once it’s done, you can find the video in iTunes under “Library > Movies.”
You can also use third-party software like Apowersoft Phone Manager or iMyFone TunesMateto transfer videos from your iPhone to your computer wirelessly. These programs are designed specifically for iOS devices and offer features like one-click transfers and support for multiple file types.
How Do I Play Movies from My Phone to My Mac?
Assuming you would like to play movies stored on your phone on your Mac, there are a few different ways you can go about doing this. One way is to use the official Apple Lightning to Digital AV Adapter. This adapter plugs into the Lightning port on your iPhone or iPad and then connects to your TV, projector, or other display using an HDMI cable (sold separately).
You can also use this adapter with a compatible VGA cable (also sold separately) for older TVs and projectors that only have a VGA input.
Another way to play movies from your phone on your Mac is by using AirPlay. With AirPlay, you can wirelessly stream audio and video from your iPhone or iPad to any compatible receiver, including an Apple TV, HomePod, or smart TV.
To use AirPlay, make sure that both your iPhone or iPad and the receiver are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Then, simply open up the app that you want to stream content from and look for the AirPlay icon. Tap it and select the receiver that you want to stream to.
Finally, if you just want to view photos and videos stored on your phone on your Mac without actually playing them back (i.e., if you just want to transfer them over), you can do so by connecting your device to your computer using a USB cable and then opening up Image Capture or iPhoto (depending on which version of macOS you’re running).
Conclusion
Yes, you can play video from your iPhone to your Mac. There are a few different ways to do this, depending on what type of video you’re trying to play. If you have an iTunes account and have purchased or rented movies or TV shows from the iTunes Store, you can use the Home Sharing feature in iTunes to watch those videos on your Mac.
If you have other video files that are not in the iTunes Store, you can use AirPlay to stream those videos from your iPhone to your Mac. Finally, if you just want to view pictures and videos that are already stored on your iPhone, you can connect your iPhone to your Mac using a Lightning cable and then open the Photos app on your Mac.
