  • Apple SideCar and Universal Control both allow you control your mac and iPad together with the same mouse and keyboard. However there are a few key differences. So what are the actual differences between sidecar and universal control?

    Lo0ve your video soo much. For someone with concentration issues, I could follow it easily and understand the difference between the 2. Thanks for your simple explanation!

    I use both sidecar and universal control with my MacBook Pro for Logic Pro and Final Cut. I got a second iPad I liked them so much. In Logic I use the universal control with Logic remote and sidecar for my movie frame. In Final Cut there’s a great switch to put your browser, timeline or viewer on sidecar.

    I used universal control yesterday for the first time, but I thought I did something in options to make it happen. 😆 I disagree that a touch-screen laptop would be useless. A complete fold-back of the screen and detachable keyboard with Mac OS would be ideal. I don’t want to draw on my iPad but use a laptop as the bigger screen, because I can’t look at the laptop screen when drawing. I need to see where my pencil is touching. That would be the same with any touch-screen apps like Goodnotes with handwriting as well.

    But I want to use my iPad and pen and iPad apps while in zoom while I’m using my MacBook Pro. Some on line companies want a pc not iPad so I need this. I just found out iPads apps aren’t all used on MacBooks. Go figure . Any ideas here?

    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.
    This happens especially after I let the devices to go into the "sleep mode" - after a display turns off when letting it couple of minutes unoccupied. Any advices? Or is it "normal"?

    I tried universal control and it was basically unusable. There was a large delay and it seemed like the accuracy of the mouse just wasnt being translated to the ipad.

    You don't even have to do all of this if the ipad is far away. Say, copy an item on your Mac & then walk over to you ipad to paste.

    Should sidecar work in clamshell mode?

      exactly my case. Also, when I let any device go into a sleep mode, it never refreshes automatically. have you resolved the issue?

      @@HashashiyyinDex I’ve contacted Apple Support multiple times since almost a year and every time they just stop responding eventually. I even went to an Apple Store and two of the employees there told me they also experience sidecar freeze, but a friend says he never had a problem.

    Hi Scott, loved your video! I have a quick question about sidecar, if you'd do me the honor of a response. When using the iPad as an external display for the MacBook, is the MacBook doing all the work, or is the iPad contributing any computing power? I was just curious if there would be any performance benefit to using the iPad as an external display, as opposed to a normal display.

    • @ScottEdwards
      @ScottEdwards  Před 2 lety +3

      All the work is done by the MacBook. The iPad is literally just used as a display. Universal control is different and allows the iPad to be used as an iPad
