Great guide! I have been trying to use my iPad as a second monitor over WiFi and was struggling. I didn’t know you could do it with a USB-C. I appreciate your help!
I got an M2 MBA yesterday and I have an iPad Air 4th gen that I mainly just use for drawing. I am only just discovering this now and oh man, absolute game changer. What an awesome surprise, this works flawlessly!
I use this feature all the time just this morning I do wish you could lock the display button to the top bar of your screen like volumeb controls But I use the wireless all the time and it works surprisingly well everytime Also fun fact any Roku TV or Roku device can do this as well if you work from home
That’s great, I use it all the time as well and love it! I didn’t know you could do it with a Roku, thanks! There’s a free app you can download on firetv devices that lets you do it too.
Next year, the new M2 version of both 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro will finally be launched. I got the M2 iPad Pro 12.9-inch before owning the M2 Pro/M2 Max 16-inch MacBook Pro for the perfect companion setup.
@@ZyroSugar It's good with the first time Apple Pencil Hover experience on the iPad Pro lineup in this year. Also both the 2023 iPad Air (will be powered with the M2 Chip) and the 2023 iPad Mini will feature the Apple Pencil Hover.
Being able to use my 2018 iPad Pro as a 2nd monitor has really made it a necessary addition to my laptop back back. Universal control has also become very useful. Do you know if it’s possible to put the iPad in a portrait orientation when being used as a extended monitor?
Thank you 🎉 my Mac book screen pro just broke & I am travelling so now I am using my iPad as the screen. Not 💯 ideal but at least I can work off my Mac!!
Hello, I use my Macbook M1 Air + iPad 2021 as extension display (wirelessly). Unfortunately, from time to time I lost connection and it all gets very laggy or disconnects completely. This happens especially after I let the devices to go into the "sleep mode" - after a display turns off when letting it couple of minutes unoccupied. Any advices? I prefer the wireless connection.
Cool video! I’m planning to buy an iPad Pro 12.9 as a second monitor primarily for coding, though which generation? As a second monitor I feel the latest M2 would be overkill when my MacBook is an M1 😂
If you are looking to set up an Ipad as a second screen, this video is the one you are looking for! thank you! straight to the point. and details on the side! Thumbs up!
Thank you so much! This video helped a lot. Just a reminder: the wifi and Bluetooth need to be on in both devices. I forgot my iPad Bluetooth was off and spent 15 min trying to figure out why it wasn't working 😂 Great video! Thank you!
I've been facing the same problem until I did this: 1. Update both devices to latest software 2. Connect iPad to Macbook via Type-C cable 3. Click the screen mirroring icon on top right and leave it open 4. Screen mirror iPad to Macbook 5. Cancel the screen mirroring. The iPad should show up in your screen mirroring window on Macbook. Hope this works
May be a dumb question but does this work for pre Mx chips? I was unlucky enough to buy the latest MBP 16" with Intel a few months before the M1 chip announcement and wanting to add an iPad Pro as a secondary / on the go editing device and this feature is pretty useful. Cheers and thanks for the video.
Hello My macbook m1 air screen is broken , can i share my screen to ipad air 4 by just connecting both with usb c cable? Or i have to setup some things first then whenever i want to use just connect the cable . Note: For once i can setup by using external monitor. But when im on the go i don’t have option for external monitor, so i just want to connect the cable and use MacBook display to ipad, Is that possible?
My coworker needs help! Both a 3rd gen iPad Pro (2018) and a MacBook Pro (2020) are up to date. We connected the iPad using a USBc cable and nothing is showing up. Tried doing it wirelessly (same WiFi network, Apple ID, both Bluetooth activated) and nothing is showing up. The devices are on the same account. Any clue what we are missing?? My iPad does this function perfectly wirelessly, but we can’t figure out why hers is not showing up.
2:44 Are there any limitations regarding screen resolution when selecting mirroring? In such a case, which one adapts to the other's resolution: the Mac or the iPad?
Whenever I connect my iPad Pro to my MacBook, it just charges the iPad. It doesn’t act as a 2nd display. Wireless works, but any advice on getting the wired connection to work properly?
Hey! Can you tell me please, how can I achieve the same while there is a Davinci timeline is on the iPad and at the same time full screen is on the Mac ?
Question: Hi! I am using Clip Studio Paint, but it keeps mirroring both MacBook Pro computer screen and Xp-pen tablet screen. I would like to watch video tutorials on the computer screen while I paint on the tablet screen. Any suggestions?
This video really helped a lot with my iPad Pro and Mac OS Catalina! I really liked the steps you provided with Side Car. I found that immediately, great tutorial!
@@Eevnos MBP 13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports. There is a thread “Sidecar Freezes within 20 seconds” in Apple community that exactly describes the problem and th-cam.com/video/ciqLTaZQQrA/w-d-xo.html, meanwhile some people say they don’t experience the freezes at all!?
Same problem... wired or wireless everything freezes after some time...i have an Ipad air M1 with latest ipadOs16 and a MP 14 M1 pro with Monterey....can someone help me please?..
so my wife uses the ipad, with her icloud logins. is there anyway to still be able to use it? sidecar requires both devices to be used with the same Apple ID.
hi! if i use wired mode, does ipad charge? will it not affect the battery by using it all day in this mode? inputpower but at the same time discharge for the screen on? or how does it works? thanks!
This use to work on my macbook pro 2015 with ipad pro 2020, but now my ipad won't show as an option to screen mirror on ipad. Everthing is up to date, but nothing works, not even a regular monitor works on my macbook pro anymore. Any ideas why?

Does it work with other ipads and MacBook besides the iPad pro and MacBook pro.

@@saramaeparonda4192 give Apple support a call (or get them to call you back), I’m sure they’ll be able to sort it out for you!
How do you use the iPad as a 2nd screen? I want to but I don't really have any ideas since Im used to using both devices separately
Is there any possibility to use ipad as secondary monitor for someone else’s macbook ?
👀
The slowness😂

Hi i do not have add display feature in "display in system preference. may i know how to fix it?
What brand and model cover/case do you use for you iPad?
Are you able to use it as a touch screen if its a second screen?
Hey man, my iPad isn'w showing up as an option for the second display. Do you have any recommendations for a fix with this?

Where did you get that cover for your ipad??
I don't know what's wrong at my side, same Apple ID, still can't find my iPad under display or in sidecar anywhere.
Did u ever figure it out? Having the same issue
@@MrFlip2147 yes, I connected them via Bluetooth first
what if the apple id's are different in both the devices is it still work the same?
Very well explained and really organized with the timestamps! Good one buddy!
Thanks a lot, I appreciate that!
Thank you!!! Can you open two of the same apps? One on each screen?
Thanks. Now I don't need another monitor :). Curious, what kickstand case you are using with iPad?
I've got an iPad Pro (First Gen) - can I use it as a second monitor, and charge it at the same time over the one Lightening Cable?
After my 1500 Mac died, I bought a new one (a year older) with a broken screen for 250. I’m using my Air 5 as a screen for now.
How do you set the best resolution? I end up with weird looking side bars on the Mac.
thanks for the info on the extended monitor, I was getting confused with the mirror settings ....
are you using a 12.9inch ipad or the 11inch?
I almost bought a portable display before I realized I had this combination woooooow 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😂😂
