Unable to turn on Airplay on my MBP 13" with touch bar.

Here is a screen shot of what I am talking about. Airplay display cannot select on. No Firewall is on.

Please can you provide an explanation of what you're trying to achieve. I'm not understanding the relevance of the screenshot.

Trying to turn Airplay Mirroring on so I can connect my Ipad using side car. There is no way for me to turn airplay on.
 
Macbook Pro 13" 2018 model i5 touch bar - Catalina
Ipad 10.5 inch pro - IPAD OS 13 newest updated today

The issue if you look at the screen shot is the toggle on off only shows off. Not able to toggle on.

Thanks, yeah you should be good with those devices.

Are you seeing the Airplay thing in the taskbar?
Do you have wifi and BT enabled on both devices?

No Airplay in the Taskbar.

Wifi and BT is enabled.

When I go to displays and settings. I have the check box for show mirroring options in the task bar.

Airplay is toggled off and no way to toggle on.

Strange.
 
Dumb question, but did you restart both devices? Mine was acting the same way, sidecar wouldn't work, couldn't get airplay in the top bar. Also using an iPad Pro 10.5 with sidecar. Restarted both devices then all worked fine. 2019 mbp13, 1.4 here.
