iPad Pro 2020 iPad Pro requires a Mac or PC with iTunes to restore from backup

That means you can't use macOS Catalina! I just initiated an iCloud backup of my 10.5" iPad Pro

Yes you can, plug it in and look in the finder for your device, I doing a restore now.....

You need to setup as new then restore from backup. How rude!

I just noticed that. If you try to restore from the "Connect to iTunes" screen it won't work and the iPad disappears from the finder. If you manually setup as new first then start the backup, it works fine. Really annoying and had me going for awhile.

What do you mean? I'm confused...

You must set it up as "new" first. When you're finished and can see the home screen, it will appear under "Locations" in the Finder on macOS Catalina. Select it and after your computer and the iPad trust each other, you will be able to restore from backup.

Not me. I just plugged it in and initiated from finder.
