Recording iOS Devices in OS X Yosemite
There is one additional way to record your iPad screen, but it can only be done on a Mac that runs OS X 10.10, a.k.a Yosemite. Here are the steps that you need to do just that.
Connect your iPad to your Mac via the USB charging cable.
Open Quicktime and choose File > New Movie Recording.
In the drop-down menu next to the record button, make sure you put a check mark next to your iPad under the Microphone and Camera menus.
Now, click the red record button to begin recording your iPad screen.
When you are done, hover your mouse over the iPad display and press the stop button.
To complete the process, name and save your recording.
The whole process is very simple and easy to accomplish, and because Quicktime comes free with every Mac, there is no need to buy any additional software. You also don't need a Wi-Fi connection, like you do with the AirPlay options above. Watch the video below for a quick demonstration of how simple this method really is.
