Sidecar not working? Macbook14 m1max not seeing iPad Pro M2

Hello,

As mentioned above in topic, I can not use sidecar, because my MacBook Pro 14 M1 max don't see my iPad Pro 12.9 M2. I am able to mirror screen from iPad to MacBook, but when I want to do the same with MacBook to Ipad I just can not see as option to use iPad as second display.

I have tried to logout from Apple ID, to restart both devices, to check if they have latest software, to toggle wifi and bluetooth, to use usb cable instead of wireless, toggle handoff on both devices, but nothing has changed...

Can someone please help me?

Hi oldtajmer,

It sounds like Sidecar isn’t working correctly for you. We know how important having a working Sidecar feature is for you, and we will help get you to the right place to find a resolution.

You've done some great troubleshooting already. If you haven't yet, double-check the guidelines below as well: Use an iPad as a second display for a Mac - Apple Support

"Additional requirements

Both devices must be signed in with the same Apple ID using two-factor authentication. Sidecar does not support Managed Apple IDs.
To use Sidecar wirelessly, both devices must be within 10 meters (30 feet) of each other and have Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Handoff turned on. Your iPad must not be sharing its cellular connection and your Mac must not be sharing its internet connection.
To use Sidecar over USB, your iPad must be set to trust your Mac."

If you need continued assistance, please get in touch with the Apple support team via this link: Get Support.

All the best!
