Record iPad / iPhone Screen Without Jailbreak using Reflection

There is no native way of recording your iPad or iPhone screen. I can understand why Apple haven't put this feature onto their devices, as it opens up all sorts of opportunities for copyright abuse, but nevertheless, it can be useful to do.

I've been looking around for a while trying to figure out how I might do this and I came across an OSX application called Reflection.

Go to the Reflection website (http://reflectionapp.com) and download the DMG file to your Mac.

Once installed, you can then use the Airplay function on your iPad or iPod and you can now view your screen and the audio on your Mac.

Pretty cool.

You can try it for free for 10 minutes of Airplay time, and once you are happy it does what it says on the tin, you can pay a very reasonable $14.99 for a single license or $49.99 for 5 licenses.

A word of warning is that you will need a fast internal network. My 2.4GHz wireless produced less than impressive results. Once I switched to my 5GHz network, everything was fine.

I've made a video tutorial which you can get to via my YouTube channel or by clicking below:

Any questions, please fee free to leave a comment and I'll try and come back to you.
