Sidecar?

Post by cuttime »

Since I now have compliant devices I thought I'd give "Sidecar" a spin. I've watched countless videos and followed Apple's advice, but it just doesn't seem to work the way it's supposed to. I can mirror, or open a window on my iPad, but extending the screen just doesn't seem to work. All the videos I see show people dragging windows from one screen to another. Am I missing something?

That wasn't the "which one" so I'm assuming the M1 Studio.

Here is the Apple support doc.
https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT210380

If this doesn't do it, I would call Apple and make them walk you through it. They will or point out why it won't work for you. You can have them call you through the Support pages or call ‭1 (800) 275-2273‬.

Yes, this doc describes pretty much how things operate on my Mac Studio and newish iPad. I guess something has changed since the older videos I've seen were made.
