You cannot make a straight Bluetooth connection between an iPad and a Mac. As you have learned, that is not supported. You can, however, use the iPad in SideCar mode to your iMac. You can also Mirror your iPad’s screen to your iMac.

Is there anything in particular that you were/are looking to do when you first intended to Bluetooth pair your iPad to the iMac?
