Two Different Ways to Mirror an iOS Device to a Mac

Being able to demonstrate a feature, setting, or new application to a large group of people can be invaluable. Whether presenting a live keynote or online webinar, the ability to mirror an iOS device to the Mac's display could mean the difference between success and failure. Luckily, there are a couple of different ways to make this mirroring magic happen.
In this tutorial, I will show you how to mirror an iOS device to a Mac using either:
- QuickTime, or
- Reflector with Airplay
I will also highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each method along the way.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I've been trying to figure out how to do this for a long time.
I recently got water damage on my phone and sadly the old rice trick didn't work.
my phone connects to my computer but the only problem was my iphone screen was pitch black and nothing came up. I needed to back up my phone before I got it fixed and itunes said I needed to type my password in before I could do that but I didn't know how without looking at the screen. quicktime player literally guided me to actually see my screen again and view what i was doing.
everything all worked out.
