I used Sidecar a lot. In the last few weeks though I upgraded my laptop to Monterey and replaced my iPad Pro with the 2021 model.
Now I can't use sidecar at all. My iPad simply does not show up as another monitor.
Anyone have this happen or know a fix? I swear one day I'll learn never to upgrade to a new MacOS for the first 6 months. They break more than they fix every single time
The only time I ever upgrade before .5 is when I BUY A NEW MACHINE and its on it. And in the last 40 years this has only happened about 5 times.
Seems to me that I saw an article by the Apple Software SR VP(who was on the unleashing video) talk about how sidecar was not on the current system because of it providing a way in for malicious software. I remember this because at the time, I didn’t know what sidecar was. Its not like I have more than one screen up or even own more than one screen, actually.

Third reboot of MacBook and iPad, it finally started working. geez...
Technically, it's not called Sidecar anymore. But you're still supposed to be able to use an iPad as a second display.

It just doesn't work
Sidecar no longer works with Monterey and MBP
