Run headless
We’re here to help solve your hardware issues
A headless Mac needs to log you in automatically, set in the “Automatically log in as” menu when FileVault is disabled.
Can I run my Mac mini without a display being connected?
Both Mac mini and Studio models can be run “headless” without a display connected to them, but for that to work, you’ll need to disable some of their most important security protection, leaving them vulnerable to attack. There’s also Luna Display fromhttps://astropad.com that allows you to access and control your Mac from an iPad.
