How to drag and drop between Mac and iPad Note that when we used the Home button on our iPad it stopped Universal Control, so if you do that you may need to start it again in System Preferences > Displays.

You can click on the screens in the window (as seen above) and move them to a position that matches the setup on your desk so that you can easily find them!.

Select your iPad (If it disappears just unlock your iPad or wake it up!).

Under Link Keyboard and Mouse you should see your iPad.

Open System Preferences/System Settings > Displays.

Make sure Cursor & Keyboard is selected.

How to share your mouse and keyboard with an iPad You are using the FaceTime app on the MacBook, not the Mac mini. So for example, if you want to use FaceTime on your MacBook you can still use the mouse and keyboard usually associated with your Mac mini. Now when you drag your cursor over in the direction of your secondary Mac screen, when you get to the edge of the screen your cursor will move to the other screen and you will be able to use your keyboard and mouse to control the secondary device.

Drag the displays into a location that matches the setup on your desk so that you can find each display.

Click on a document and you’ll be able to type with the keyboard.

Now drag your mouse to the second Mac and you will see the cursor appear on that screen.

You will need to make sure that these displays are set up in the same way as they are on your desk. You’ll see the option Link Keyboard and Mouse and the name of your secondary Mac underneath.

Click on the drop-down beside Add Display.

(If you don’t do this you won’t see the option to Link Keyboard and Mouse under Add Display in the next step.)

Go to the other Mac and select the same three options in System Preferences/System Settings > Displays.

And ‘Automatically reconnect to any nearby Mac or iPad’ which will ensure that your Mac and iPad reconnect next time. ‘Push through the edge of a display to connect to a nearby Mac or iPad’. Check/tick all three boxes: ‘Allow your cursor and keyboard to move between any nearby Mac or iPad’ (that’s signed into your iCloud account).If using Ventura click on Advanced, otherwise click on Universal Control.Open System Settings/System Preferences on your Mac and select Displays.
