Hello! There can be different types of sync between two devices. For iCloud you simply go in to system preferences on your mac, and under iCloud you can choose what you want to sync. If you however, instead of disabling separate settings, you enter settings on your iPad and on the top of the screen you should be able to see your iCloud profile. Press it, and then scroll to the bottom of the screen - there you will be able to log out from iCloud and after that the iCloud sync between your iPad and your Mac.
I hope this answer helped you, and if you would have any further questions don't hesitate to ask!
