Using your iPad as a “second screen” is a great way to boost your productivity by adding in a little extra screen real estate. Ultimately, although the apps themselves are inexpensive, the iPad itself is too expensive just to use as a second display for a Mac or Windows PC. However, if you have an iPad that you carry with you in addition to a notebook computer, using the iPad both as a tablet and as a second display can be a convenient way to save space when traveling.
I don't know of any iDevice app which has screensharing abilities. The sandboxing of apps on the iPad means that one app does not have any access to a display made by another App. Apple's tool for remote administration of iPads is the Profile Manager service that comes as part of OS X Server. You can connect any number of iDevices to it and use it to install/remove apps, change configurations, and control what the user may or may not do with their device.
Updates are automatically downloaded over the internet the next time the iDevice is connected to it: devices do not have to be returned to headquarters and physically plugged into the server. As well as the above, you can use this system to remotely lock (requiring a password you create at lock time) or wipe an iPad, useful if it is lost or stolen. Use Case: Share the iDevice screen with PC/Mac using USB cable. Then use webex or Microsoft Livemeeting to share your desktop and share the iDevice screen live over internet.
Also have the ability to record the iDevice screen interaction in PC/Mac. The free solution is iTools. Its absolutely free and provides lot of tools for iDevices.
Download the zip file, unzip and double click the 6mb exe file. Do update when it prompts to update to latest version. I tested with iPod touch 5th Gen, iPhone 5 and it worked like a charm.
Click on Desktop, then Live Desktop. Download link: Search iTools in or from the hong kong site. You can't do this yet unless you want to jailbreak your device to get access to a few 'semi reliable' solutions all of which I wouldn't suggest. Apple has their IOS coded so that this functionality isn't available to software developers. Team viewer has a petition on their site Their software would allow you to remotely view a pc and vise versa.
Most of the commercial uses of sharing ur iPad screen is for personal media/movie etc streaming which apple so far limits to their 'AirPlay' etc products. This is an awesome solution. It's not an ipad app, but a desktop app. You can see the ipad screen on your desktop, and then a webex or similar to share that view with others. For the OP, this does not allow the administrator to control the iPad, but it could allow them to discuss with the user what the problem is, and walk them through a solution.
Since no one has mentioned (and I have not found one either) a remote-control type app that the OP is looking for, this is the best alternative that I've found. Plus it's free. Apple Footer.

As an owner, I’ve been using my MacBook Pro in for the last week. Closed-clamshell mode allows me to drive an external display with the MacBook’s lid closed. While such a setup looks neat and takes up less desk real estate, there are a few downsides involved. The most obvious downside is that you lose the MacBook Pro’s screen. But for new MacBook Pro owners, losing the Touch Bar might be the bigger downside of the two. If you’re an iPad owner, there is a decent solution to this problem. You can use your iPad as an external Touch Bar by using on the App Store. As, Duet allows you to use an iOS device as an external display, and its most recent update adds Touch Bar support.
This makes the app a viable solution for those wishing to employ closed-clamshell mode on the latest MacBook Pro, and for those with older Mac hardware without the Touch Bar. Watch our brief hands-on video to see how it works in action. How to set it up Step 1: The first thing you’ll need to do is. You’ll also need to, which runs in your Mac’s menu bar. Once the helper app is downloaded, extract it, drag it to your Applications folder, and launch the app. Step 2: Connect your iOS device, preferably an iPad that can be propped up on your desk, to your Mac via a Lightning cable.
Since I’m using a new MacBook Pro with four USB-C ports, I’m connecting with a. Step 3: Launch Duet Display on your iOS device and it should automatically connect to your Mac, appearing as a second display. The Touch Bar, if enabled, will reside at the bottom of the display. You can toggle the Touch Bar from Duet’s menu bar app icon.

It’s especially nice for Mac users (OS X 10.9 and above) with hardware that predates the Touch Bar, but I also find it very useful when running my Touch Bar-enabled MacBook Pro in closed-clamshell mode. An iPad propped up via its case takes up significantly less desk space than a 13- or 15-inch MacBook Pro, which is why I like using closed-clamshell mode. With the help of Duet, I get to retain access to the Touch Bar while the MacBook’s lid is closed and tucked away. Obviously you’ll still be missing out on Touch ID if you’re “clamshelling” a new MacBook Pro, but that’s a sacrifice that you’ll have to live with. Using my 12.9-inch iPad Pro as an external display and Touch Bar Of course, the fact that Duet allows you to have a second external display for your Mac is a huge bonus as well, and we’ve touched on that primary aspect of the app before in our.
