    Airplay not working! Pls help

    Alright, I have no idea where to ask or where to post this so I made an account just for this. Hopefully, we can figure it out! I have a late 2013 MacBook pro it is currently on Catalina. I also have the 2018?2019? iPad pro that's updated fully. My friend was showing me how to use airplay to...

    M1 Macs external display + sidecar

    Hey, Some people have been saying that the new macs will only support one external display, but there's been no clear information whether that includes an iPad in sidecar mode or not. Can anyone with the new M1 mac check that and confirm? I've really been wanting to get one, but if having an...

    Sidecar causing 2020 13' Pro to overheat

    Hi, I used my base 2020 13' Pro this afternoon with Sidecar, and after just 10 minutes roughly, the MacBook was extremely hot. This seems ridiculous when I was only using it as a second screen for Spotify. Is this an issue with Catalina, Sidecar or the MacBook? Anyone else experienced this?

    iPad Ipad 6 gen Sidecar performance

    My iPad doesn't really serve much purpose these days, except for being a Sidecar display I've noticed. That's great to me, as I like to do multi-screen video editing and music production. Then again, I've noticed quite a drawback to using the iPad as a second display. My biggest complaint was...

    Best portable external display for MBP w/ USB-C?

    I'm going to be on the road for a while, leaving me without my large monitor setup like I'm used to. I'd like to still have some expanded screen real estate, and thinking about doing so via either (1) Sidecar through my iPad, or (2) an ~$180 USD portable external monitor (connecting it to my 16"...

    Resolved AirPlay/Sidecar mirroring distorts MBP color rendering since 10.15.4

    ✅ Resolved: The 10.15.4 Supplemental Update resolved the problem. Since updating to 10.15.4 I can no longer use my iPad in Sidecar mode or over AirPlay, as the color profile rendering distorts as soon as the second display connects. Manually choosing different profiles shows momentary...

    Use Cases: Sidecar with iMac

    I couldn't really find any material on this so I came up with a few use cases for Sidecar with an iMac. I cover General, Video Editing, Gaming, and Developer uses. Feedback is much appreciated.

    Sidecar

    Hi all, my setup is this. 8,1 MacBook Pro with Catalina installed via dosdude1. iPad generation 3 Pro 12.9. I have WiFi and Bluetooth on and both are paired to each other, however sidecar does not work. My thinking is this, the BT card is the default card in the MacBook Pro, but I have a 4.0...

    2014 27" iMac and Sidecar Performance

    I've used Astropad Pro for a while with a 2014 27" iMac. Its performance has been fine, but I think the $12/month subscription is a bit of a price gouge. I was excited about Sidecar and recently updated to iPad OS 13 and Catalina beta to realize my iMac is not supported. I've found the work...

    macOS Catalina DB 8 and Sidecar

    Apologies if this has been covered (a search didn't show much), but Sidecar was working perfectly for me prior to DB 8 but suddenly cannot get it to work between IPP 11 and MBP 13 2018. Anyone else experiencing this. Any fix? I had found a great use for it and now can't live without it!

    Use the iPad as a third monitor

    I like the new sidecar feature for Macbooks and iPads. If I typically use a second monitor at home connected via display port can I then use a iPad as a third monitor? Or does sidecar only work with just the laptop and the iPad and no additional monitors?

    Sidecar: how come no one mentions pressure sensitivity?

    Sidecar is great, it works really good and it's one of the things I'm most excited about in Catalina. However, as I mentioned here before, Pencil pressure sensitivity is way off. There is a sort of expected pressure level, how much you need to press your stylus against the screen/tablet to get...

    Duet Display on 2013 MBP (running Catalina)?

    I have an older MBP (Model ID 11,3). It's no slouch even after all these years (2.6 i7, 4 cores, 16Gb RAM, 1Tb SSD) and I love it - best Mac I've ever owned and it's not even close (and I've owned too many to count). As much as my MBP is "no slouch", it apparently is not going to play nicely...

    iPad Affinity Designer 1.7 and Sidecar sneak peek

    We've just been messing with Affinity Designer using sidecar with the macOS Catalina and iPadOS betas. Apple's done a fantastic job of this - even when connected wirelessly there's no real detectable lag, so makes for a great graphics tablet experience with Pencil. Check out the video here:
