![]() I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with that. Unfortunately no FileVault and auto-login enabled means any data on your Mac mini is super vulnerable, especially since you'll be travelling with it. You can get Office for free through your school, as included in the tuition, or you might maybe download it from Microsoft Imagine. ![]() I'm not sure if the FileVault password can be entered blindly, but I know I wouldn't want to fiddle with that if I was on the road. For Luna to work "headlessly" you need to set up the Mac to not ask for any login credentials (including FileVault) when it starts up (so auto-login needs to be enabled). The key thing is that before you enter the password, the Mac does not run any other applications, so the Luna desktop software is not running, hence no image is output to your iPad mini and you can't see what you're doing. If you have FileVault enabled, fully powering down the Mac causes it to ask you for the FileVault password when you turn it back on again (could be just your user account password, which then uses Keychain to unlock FileVault). Traditionally you connect to them remotely from another computer with Remote Desktop or VNC, but apparently Luna also calls a setup where an iPad is your only monitor for a Mac mini "headless". The term "headless" is generally used to refer to a computer that is running without a monitor.
