Trouble connecting iPad as a second screen via sidecar

Hi,

 

I´m unable to connect iPad as a second screen via sidecar. 

 

I have reviewed https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210380 and i am sure I’m ticking all boxes for a requirement for this to work.

 

MacBook Pro Big Sur 11.5.2

iPad Pro 12.9 4th gen SW 14.7.1

 

Bluetooth on and connected on both devises.

Same WIFI on both devises. Network reset performed. 

Same apple ID on both devises, Password reset performed. 

Handoff ON switched ON, on both

 

Both devises are connected via Bluetooth.

When trying to connect iPad via sidecar it only gives this message “Unable to connect to “iPad” The device timed out”

 

Restarted both devices, I have changed password in apple ID. 

Reset network devices performed.

iPad full reset performed.

If I try to connect iPad via MacBook if will disconnect.

If I connect MacBook via iPad if will not disconnect.

 

It worked fine on both on WIFI and USB, but neither is working.

 

Hopeful for an easy solution.

 

Besr regards,

Baldur O.

I suspect this to be an issue with my user settings, I dont know what has changed in my user settings since i las were able to use sidecar. I have created a guest account and then sidecar works as it should, i dont know if i can reset my user settings or if I must do full restore. Please let me know if you are able to resolve this 😉
