I have the iPad mounted in a desk arm in portrait and would like to use it with sidecar.

Let's everybody start going to the apple product feedback page and flood them if feature requests:

iPad Sidecar I am trying to make my iPad (version iPadOS 17.2) a sidecar to my MacBook Air 13" (version macOS 12.72) and I have tried everything from updating software on both and restarting to turning on Handoff and it WILL NOT WORK. Please help. I want to use it as an extended screen for viewing purposes so I don't have to keep frantically flipping between windows on my Mac. The hope is to use the iPad exactly like a second monitor screen.

Ipad sidecar with touch This is the one feature that could be provided which isn't. We are given limited gestures, however not full touch capacity with the iPad in sidecar mode. Because of this I use my Wacom graphics tablet, which does support both touch and stylus I also find myself reaching well as my surface device before my iPad for this purpose too, before I ever reach for my iPad. This is a real unfortunate oversight and hamstrings the iPad even more than it should be. It could be the portable monitor of choice but only reaches 80% of its potential, like it does in many ways. Not because of hardware but software. It would be fantastic if this was rectified in the next update, if it was I would likely use my iPad in preference to those other devices when I need to scribe.

Apple sidecar question I’m currently using a macbook pro 13” from 2017 and it is up to the latest update which is Ventura version. I also have an ipad pro m2 and it is now in ipados 17. I tried the sidecar feature but it only works for a few minutes and my ipad crashed and the screen sharing was not working sgain. Is there any solutions to this or is it that my mac is too old?
