- When iPadOS and MacOS Catalina combine, Sidecar happens. I LOVE Sidecar and I've been using it enough lately that I've gathered some tips and tricks and best practices to share. From how to use Sidecar (and what you can use it for) to getting the most out of your 2nd (or 3rd) screen, this video has something for every iPad and Mac owner!

Could you please share which iPhone desk charger that is in this video?
DailtyTekk,I'd like to see the episode of Setup Wars where you were featured, which one is yet? Was your white monitor/frame with moving black and white picture was there? aheheee
Which brand/model is your 49 inch wide monitor? I’m waiting on my 16 inch M1 and would like an ultra wide monitor.
can you share what desktop background you use on your Mac it looks beautiful!
Thanks for video. Please check your tech links in the description. They direct to sneakers, perfume, hoovers and other irrelevant stuff.
I use sidecar for music production. It’s very handy. I can move my different plug-ins to the iPad and continue working on Ableton Live. It definitely makes multitasking so much easier.
My main goal is this (while I'm travelling and feel the need to produce something at night). The 10" iPad is enough for using as 2nd display w/ sidecar for my Macbook (and my developer work)? I'm planning to buy a new Macbook M1 Pro but I can't decide between 14" or 16". Will the 16" be enough to handle occasional trips so I can let my iPad at home? (PS: I already have a 2nd massive screen at home so my questions are only for 1-2 week(s) trips..
I was pretty hyped about the sidecar announcement.... we’ll, long story short: I have a MacBook from 2014 .... :(
Nathanael Kutzbach Same. I was so sad!
Nathanael Kutzbach me too haha and don’t see myself upgrading soon
Theres an app you can buy for $10 on apple store called duet display
@@Mopar_illmatic yes I know, this is our only option...
But it would be a lot cooler if it was integrated with older macs too.
@@marcojimenez431 the bigger problem is the lack of money to upgrade 😭😂
Everytime I watch a video on Sidecar, I get real excited over the possibilities of what it can. I test it out between my iPad and laptop, think of all the ways I use it. And never think of it again, until I see the next Sidecar video, but this time it will be different. Great video, and thanks for sharing.
For me, Sidecar is perfect for Adobe Illustrator, where I can trace my sketches!
The king has spoken!
Thanks for the tip regarding how to launch Sidecar by hovering over the left top green menu button and then selecting the destination display from the drop down menu. I didn't know that technique.
Wow that tip of opening an app on the ipad even when sidecar is not connected and the ipad screen is off is pretty awesome! That's the most useful ipad tip I've seen in some time. I just tried it and it works great!
Spectacle is a free alternative for Magnet. I am a Software Engineer and I use 2 monitors + MacBook Pro..
Dude you are the best I am learning so much from your simple structured and easy to understand videos, thank you so much! I want to move to iPad just don't know yet if I should buy 2018 pro Version or wait couple of weeks for the 2020 version or wait and hope the 2018 pro price drops a bit with the 2020 pro release.
This channel is great! Love the content. 1M subs is coming 😎👍🏼
Yes!
Great Tips , Thanks!
Sidecar is one of the greatest things! Now I just need to step up my iPad game to fit my MacBook 16” setup :) With the Logitech MX Keys, MX Master 3 and Palm Rest and an iPad you pretty much have a portable Desktop setup :) At least for non-powerusers :) I especially like the Logitech products because they work just as great for Windows BootCamp gaming.
Herr Keks bur when u bootcamp u can not use side car?
Linnon I think so yes, but I use Windows pretty much only to play games, so I’m not in the need for SideCar. :)
Hi Chris. What iPad and iPhone stands are you using? Those look great. I just got an iPad Pro and have a new MacBook Pro on order! Can’t wait to try sidecar! Thanks!
Dunder Mifflin! I think you deserve a proper Dundie Award for this video! ;))
Awesome video. I currently have a MacBook Pro and an iPad Pro. I'm considering giving up my iPad Pro for an external monitor instead. Thoughts? Recommendations?
Sidecar is great for doing software development. I put VSCode on my MacBook, and the app I'm debugging on my iPad using Sidecar. It allows me to do multi-monitor development in places I wouldn't otherwise be able to, such as lying in bed, or outside on the deck or in the park.
Chris great insight. Just wondering where did you purchase your iPad holder? I wanted to get one like that where I can just place both my iPad and Apple Watch. Great merchandise you have too. Will certainly get one. Thanks.
Great vid, love the desk setup. Would it be possible to link all the stands and chargers you have you used in the vid. The iPhone dock, watch dock and iPad holder etc..... many thanks
Agreed.
Didn’t think it would be this awesome I knew it existed but didn’t know how beneficial it could be!
can you use your finger to operate functions inside Logic Pro on iPad Pro 4 or do you still need the pencil for it to respond?
If you had to buy your next Mac (MacBook Pro vs iPad) which one would you get and why? I'm getting ready to upgrade my 13 inch Mac book pro 2016. Is there a really great one coming soon that I should wait for? Thanks for your help and insight.
Game changer for the quick shortcut to open sidecar! exactly what I was looking for!
What’s the lag situation like when using it wirelessly?
Hi, could you please make a tutorial on how I can use onenote together with my MacBook and iPad? Thanks
Wow it is really great
few months ago, I was able to use sidecar but now whenever i try to connect to my ipad, it says the device is timed out. what should i do?
Updated: my sidecar is working now!! I signed out my apple id in my ipad and it worked
I'm using sidecar as a homeschool tool to help my kids :) Taught my 5 year old son the screenshot gesture via apple pencil so he could mark the pdf worksheet :) Its a great paper saver!!!
I really wish that side car worked BOTH ways, this makes sense to me. I use my ipad more than ever and it would be great to have that option
LOL is that 24" Mac Book? I think the angle you used makes it looks much larger than it actually is in real life....comically larger. But thanks for this video, it helped answer some questions.
does the speed of a process with the sidecar depend on the MacBook or iPad?
I want to use M1 Ipad as a second display for Macbook pro 2015, so does it work smoothly or my MacBook is old and will ruin everything
What’s the delay of sidecar? I want to use it with protools but want to make sure there’s no delay when recording voiceovers. Thanks
Hello, I use my Macbook M1 Air + iPad 2021 as extension display. Unfortunately, from time to time I lost connection and it all gets very laggy or disconnects completely.
Any advices? Or is it "normal"?
Hi Chris! I'm having problem with sidecar. I am stuck in mirror mode and I can seem to find to way to get back to the second screen display mode. Would you have any adea how I can do that. Thank so much.
Just started using it and it seems like it could be awesome but it crashes on me all the time. I’m basically using the iPad Pro as a drawing tablet with my new MacBook Pro in clip studio paint. Which is similar to photoshop.
How about sidecar to use the iPad pro as the display for a mini Mac as a permanent set up?
Question, if you have an Cellar iPad Pro, if you connect it with your labtop, does your labtop get internet too or would you have to tether off of your iPad???
Is it possible to use sidecar along an attached monitor with a Macbook closed in clamshell mode? Nice video!
I wonder what I'm doing wrong. Sidecar always makes windowserver go crazy and tanks the performance of everything when I try to use it.
I have a 3rd gen ipad pro. Can I use sidecar to pair with an M1 macb00k air to stream th mac book air to the ipad to push anOBS stream out over the wireless card? We have terrible internet service. thanks!
After a 30-year career teaching music in-person, I successfully switched to teaching ONLINE, 2+ years ago. I'm currently using an M1 Mac Mini with multiple video sources (5 cameras, a macbook, iPad 9G, video switchers, etc) ... What's been frustrating, is that it's not easy to SEE my students when I look into my front-facing camera ... So I JUST bought a teleprompter. After watching your video, I'm now SUPER EXCITED to use Sidecar! ... Using my M1 Mac Mini, and another iPad (mounted on the teleprompter) connected via Sidecar, I'll now be able to see my students, WHILE I'm looking into the camera!
I am unable to use my Apple Pencil 2 when I share the screen from my MacBook Pro M3 to my iPad 6 Mini. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Love you Chris
How can I change which side I can use to drag screens? If my mac is on the left and iPad on the right. For some reason i have to drag the screen to the right on my mac for it to show up on my iPad.
Love that you rep apologetics books in the background 😎
Same
Where is it?
Do you know how to flip the ipad screen when using sidecar so i can use it with a telepromter?
my side car doesn't work any longer. it says 'unable to connect to ipad. the device timed out'. ipad pro 2018 and macbook pro 2018. i've searched and tried most solutions on google. please help
Wow. I just bought an iPad Pro looking forward to this feature, but my computer is a 2015 MacBook Pro. Thanks Apple
Same. When i found out about sidecar i got excited, but then disappointed when it said it was only available for 2016 later. :D
There's videos on CZcams showing how to connect older macs
You can use Duet Display instead
If you think about it, the device is 5 years old. Cant hate Apple for this. It has been supported long enough.
@SeppuKun it is possible, and there are ways around it. Stop the apple fanboy rant
whenever i connect to sidecar my mac drop frames. is there anything i can do? i haven't tried connecting sidecar with hdmi. but any other suggestion would be appreciated. 😅
I was so happy to have and use Sidecar..... but as soon as I start using sidecard, the temperature of my macbook pro 13 go from around 50 up to 70 or 80. It doesnt matter If I connect it via Wifi or cable. Also I noticed my macbook pro behaves the same when I connect it to a external monitor
My Macbook pro 13 is a custom top shelf thing and it has near meltdown with any use than reading mails... too hot.
Can I use sidecar while using my iPad Pro to record content and turn my Mac into a monitor to view myself?
I have the Logitech Combo touch and the keyboard works while using sidecar but anyway to use its trackpad while in sidecar?
Is side car still potentially helpful now that we have Stage manager- and full screen display on newer ipads
I watch lots of videos and take lots of notes and screenshots
Can we use iPad pro as an external monitor for color grading HDR footage? Iffnot using it as a 10 bit dci p3 monitor ?
Do you know sRGB value of the xdr display?
My Ipad mini 4 doesn't show up in the list to connect to it. Any thoughts how to get it to show up?
hi, i don't have Sidecar icon in my System Preferences! (my Imac is running BigSur latest version and iPad Pro M1 is updated too. Also on right-to-corner of my iMac > Display > no option to "Connect TO:" Please advise what to do. Thank you
Hi! I also had this problem but it seems with the new update the sidebar is now just under display > Add Display. This is located in the bottom left corner of the display area.
Yampad for similar functionality older non compatible iPads. Also offers more resolution options. Recommend using wired connection for best results
Wow I loved the last part u mentioned of ,wish I get myself a MacBook Pro soon . Possibly a 14 inch .
If anyone can pls answer this .
Can i use 3 ipads using sidecar like my mac will be the main unit and can i control 3 ipads using my mouse
when I using my Apple Pencil it shows me the cursor on the iPad everywhere I touch, how can I turn it off?
Nice video tks a lot !
one question... i start to use sidecar , it is possible to use touch screen to move around the apps , make zoom like pinch and tap menus like photoshop by finger ? not pen..? tks
pleeeeease tell me where that iPad + Apple Watch stand is from!
Does side car stay the same as far as hz? For example Mac mini side car with iPad?
Great idea. But I have found that I'm more proactive on my iPad pro rather than MacBook Pro. Thus, I would prefer to use the MacBook Pro screen as the secondary screen. Not possible I guess??
I agree. I would get more use of it that way.
Can I open the the iPad and run my macmini without the monitor to start up the system
is there anyway of getting audio out of the iPad while using sidecar?
I've been trying out sidecar as a second screen, but the lag is a little bit annoying. Both wirelessly and with cable there is still lag. I wish they could fix that up sooner rather than later.
1 year later.. but is this fixed now? I’m thinking of buying a ipad.
Chris. Great video. Just bought MacBook Pro 16 inch this week and testing out sidecar. I’d prefer to have on the left side of MacBook as you show in video but it only lets me drag screen to the right. Is there a setting that I can change to allow me to drag screens from MacBook to iPad on the left? Thanks
If now you know how to do it please tell me
Go into sys prefs when connected via sidecar, then under displays you can tell Catalina that the sidecar iPad is physically on the left by changing the arrangement of the two screens (laptop and iPad acting as extended desktop). The OS cannot tell what physical side of your laptop is, but once you do put it on left you can drag windows or apps right to your iPad. Think of it as a dual monitor, extended desktop setup.
Can I use the Mac computer keyboard to type on my iPad?
What's the name of that app for Mac that helps copy and paste ? That uses sort of a tray to move apps ?
I need a good sidecar tutorial. I am doing my doctoral research and would like my main iMac window to show the analysis while the ipad could show maybe the inspector windows or even a journal article. Also, do I have to use specific apps for annotating (e.g. adobe??) to use with sidecar?
have you tried this yet? I'm interested in annotating journals on my ipad while typing my paper on my mac too.
Jaimee Mendoza not yet. Trying to find an app that allows it
Let's keep each other posted 🤞🏻
Jaimee Mendoza will do
I hear there is a lag from the iPad when using sidecar which is an issue for me and drawing, do y'all find that to be true? Wondering if a hardwired connection resolves that.
Can I use Sidecar for blender ? How's the pen pressure sensitivity ? I want to use blender grease pencil for 2d animations .. is it possible ?
Isn’t it possible the other way around? Can’t my iMac turn into a second screen of my iPad? Or at least mirror my ipadscreen?
I want to use this to watch content from Apple TV or CZcams on my iMac from my couch. Using my iPad to browse trough and select the content I want to watch...
Would you share the wallpaper?
just tuned in seen your vids before, im glad your giving an up to date review. As a new user i want to see what what im capable of doing. I support you man, thank you for your effort. I will leave my thoughts after the full video
Sidecar is super useful for marking students’ work and creating lesson plans when you use multiple windows
Dose anyone have wireless sidecar on iPad frozen every one or two days and restarting iPad stops freezing temporarily?
Should sidecar work in clamshell mode?
Hi all, anyone know if it is possible to use iPad with Sidecar in vertical orientation?
Can you tell us about your 49” monitor?
What about using 2 iPads side by side?
Where can I get the ipad holder next to the phone I think I read Sarechi?
can we use both speaker for different app seperately🤔
Hello there! Thank you for the tips :)
I have a quick question: is there any way I can rotate the ipad vertically while using it as a second monitor with sidecar so I can use in a better way the space for vertical videos editing? I haven't find any way to do it, but maybe you did... ^_^
Sidecar works just fine on my Gen 1 iPad 12.9" connected to my 2019 MacBook Pro running Big Sur. Not sure why you think you need Gen 3 or higher?
All ipad pros are supported
So wish they would add support for Managed Apple ID's so I don't have to keep logging in and out of my iPad...
Can you please share the link to buy your watch and iPhone stand accessories featured in this video? Thanks, Chris! Great videos as always.
Search Amazon for Satechi USB-C Magnetic Charging Dock
HigherTechnology I found the charger for the watch almost immediately after I posted my comment. But yet to find the iPhone charger featured in the video. Thank you!
@@azimahmed2288 Did you manage to find it? I'm looking for it, too!
Gerrit found the watch charger - Satechi USB C Magnetic Charging Dock. But the iPhone charger still eludes me. Chris may just read this and direct us to the one he has ...
@@azimahmed2288 Let's hope so
Can you use 2 sidecar iPads together?
What size ipad do you have
I’m teaching a virtual HS summer school class soon and will be using an app like soon to connect to the students. I’m stuck with trying to share my iPad as a whiteboard, but still run the stream through my MacBook Pro. Any ideas?
Hey, just wrapped up a school year doing this. I suspect you mean connect with students via ZOOM. When you go into ZOOM there are extensive share screen options including iPad via wired or wireless. This is not the same as sidecar. If you have an Apple Pencil your iPad will make a great whiteboard. Once you are showing your iPad screen may I suggest ExplainEverything as an iPad app. You can put on slides, pictures, web pages and annotate on top of them or use a "laser pointer". The students will see everything you show them through Explain Everything that you are sending out to zoom via your MBP.
What’s that Apple Watch Charger your using? That looks awesome
Here you go (it's from Satechi) - geni.us/rBHs3I
is there a way to do a reverse version of the sidecar? (where you move things from your iPad to your mac)
Probably just using air drop
Hey Chris where did u get that Apple Watch charger?
Search Amazon for Satechi USB-C Magnetic Charging Dock
What dock do you use for your IPhone?
The one in this video.
Why u use a cable to connect together two devices ?
Great video! I can never get the touchbar feature to work with Sidecar. I’ve tried everything to no avail. Really frustrating.
Even before Sidecar came out I was using the third-party app Duet to simulate Sidecar, and while I like Sidecar's functionality and ease of use better than Duet, I've noticed that it seems to be a power hog. The moment I fire it up and start using it the fan turns on and there is clearly some additional power demand to turn my iPad into a second monitor. It makes no difference if I use Wi-Fi or if I tether it. The result is the same. Is there something that I can do with my MacBook Air (2018 model) that makes better use of power demands so that I can run Sidecar more often and effectively?
As for my own uses, I help manage a website for my own podcast, which involves lots of artwork and word documents. While the bulk of the work is done on my MacBook Air I will put my notes over on my iPad to refer to when writing my articles. I will also use it for any additional research that is required on the spot for the articles and reviews that I write.
Sidecar has been the biggest blessing in my life in terms of working on my Mac. I don't have a desk big enough to run two monitors side by side so having my iPad serve as a second monitor (when I need it) has become a necessary and highly appreciated feature for me.
Hey bro , it’s a great tip to know the new M1 chips run without the additional heating on your Mac or fans blowing like an airplane. They run cooler & silent. Using sidecar on my Mac mini has been a breeze . & I have the base model … worth upgrading in the long run. Chips are crazy advanced ..
@@Minechaftgamer Since posting that I did get a new MacBook Air with the M1 chip, and to say that Sidecar has been a breeze is an enormous understatement! The M1 chip is definitely a game-changer!!!
Nevertheless, thank you for the suggestion!
What is the name of the iPad holder you are using
Link for that Watch charger connected to the iPad?
Amazing desk lamp - the spiral. Would you mind dropping a link to where you picked it up?
I'm pretty sure it's a SkyeyArc
What ipad stand are you using here?
