iPad Pro M4 w/Studio Display Just purchased a new iPad Pro M4 13" yesterday but it won't connect to my Apple Studio Display with the USB-C port on the Magic Keyboard. I know the Studio Display if fine because it works with my Mac Mini M2 Pro. The iPad OS is 17.5.1. The Studio Display doesn't even show up in the iPad 'Display & Brightness' config. Anyone else had this issue, or know what the problem is?

Unable to Connect MacBook Pro M4 Pro to Apple Studio Display Hi I'm trying to connect my brand new MacBook Pro m4pro chip to apple studio display with the original thunderbolt 4 cable that came with the studio display. Whenever I tried to get the connection, the screen is fine for a few seconds and then the connection stop, and trying to connect again and again - looping a few times until it goes blank screen. I have tried to replace the cable to another apple genuine thunderbolt 4 and also to plug the cables to other ports, and even through Thunderbolt 4 dock, and still not working. The studio display works with iPad Pro M1 chip and HP-PC through the same cables and all works just fine. All of the device are updated to the latest versions. Does anyone familiar with this kind of issue? or can suggest something helpful? Thanks in advance

Are you connected to the correct port on the display. It must be the one with the lightning bolt. You also must use a TB cable.

Try a new cable otherwise schedule Apple in-store repair for a free diagnosis and repair estimate (if applicable).
