Hey there Lukas,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you're running into a bit of trouble with Siderar on your MacBook Pro and iPad Pro. I'd be glad to run through a few steps with you to ensure that you're able to use Sidecar as expected.


Let's first start by making sure that we are meeting both the hardware, software, and configuration requirements to take advantage of Sidecar. Look over the "Sidecar system requirements" section in Use your iPad as a second display for your Mac with Sidecar to make sure that everything meets the requirements and that all related functions are turned on and configured correctly. Be sure to review the "Additional requirements" section below that, as it contains important information as well.


Cheers.
