How do I install the HiDPI extension to enable retina?
Mac-to-iPad Mode Only
If you are unable to click "Allow" for the HiDPI extension in Security & Privacy, macOS/Gatekeeper may be blocking it. Here are some troubleshooting steps:
1. Disable Third-Party Apps
Apps that modify mouse or trackpad behavior can interfere. Try disabling these apps before clicking "Allow":
- MagicPrefs
- Synergy
- BetterTouchTool
- HyperDock
- Any other app that can modify mouse or trackpad behavior
2. Use Safe Mode
If using a hardware mouse doesn’t work, restart your Mac in Safe Mode and try clicking "Allow" again. Safe Mode disables third-party plugins.
How to Restart in Safe Mode:
For Intel-based Macs:
- Restart your Mac.
- Immediately press and hold the Shift key.
- Release the Shift key when the Apple logo appears.
- Once in Safe Mode, try clicking "Allow."
- Restart your Mac normally to exit Safe Mode.
For Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) Macs:
- Shut down your Mac completely.
- Press and hold the power button until you see "Loading startup options."
- Select your startup disk.
- Press and hold the Shift key, then click Continue in Safe Mode.
- Once in Safe Mode, try clicking "Allow."
- Restart your Mac normally to exit Safe Mode.
