Mac OS Catalina Sidecar error 32002

Hi,

found a solution that works for me here: https://github.com/pookjw/SidecarPatcher/issues/5

I ended up plugging the iPad in using a USB-c to lightning cable, accessed the iPad via finder and went through the trust authentication steps. 

After reconnecting sidecar worked fine using the usb-c cable that was shipped with my iPad 12.9.

regards,

Andreas

Disabling "Internet Sharing" in my MacBook's Sharing preferences did the trick for me. You might want to make sure you're not using the iPad for tethering or sharing the internet in the other direction.

Solution has been found on reddit.

Following the instructions, I noticed there were two .plist files in particular that looked suspicious: 

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration

preferences.plist contained a reference to "iPad USB" (even though I didn't see iPad USB in my "Network" settings). 

NetworkInterfaces.plist contained multiple references to "iPad". 

I made a backup of the two .plist files, deleted them from the SystemConfiguration folder, and rebooted. Voila! Now Sidecar works over USB.

Same here, wifi yes, usb c no. Resetting "trust this computer" didn't work.

Same problem here:

• MBP 13", 2016, 4 thunderbolt 3 ports
• iPad Pro 10,5"

It also worked for me after I reset the "Trust this Computer" settings on my iPad.

Same here

same here. I updated macOS and iOS, reset the permission and 'trusted device', but still have same issue.

same here, works once, get the 32002 - Unable to Connect to "***" A miscellaneous error occurred and then a black sidecar starts on my ipad.

Same issue here. Sidecar has never consistently worked. None of the fixes work for any appreciable amount of time. So frustrating.

After completing everything mentioned above, then removing the trust from the PC and the iPad, it is now working and has been for about 4 days now with no more issues.

hello, can you tell me how to reset the "trust this computer"?

I had the same problem. Then I restarted the macbook and the ipad. Then it worked :)

How do you confirm a cable is for power only? I'd like to confirm it is a hardware issue before I start digging in software settings.
