You have omitted far too many details. Here are just a few examples:

  • Your Mac model and vintage
  • Your MacOS name and version number
  • Your iPad model and vintage
  • Your iPadOS version number
  • The method you’re using to attempt to connect them
  • What software generates the error message(s) you see
  • What you hope to achieve by connecting them
