The terminal command that unlocks sidecar for unsupported macs no longer works in the new Catalina beta... You can see sidecar in system preference but it does not detect iPads. Does anybody have a solution?
Great vid Chis ... thanks! I have Sidecar set up and I've had Luna Display since it came out. Sidecar is very slick and useful. Couple of other things to note ... Sidecar is BlueTooth based, Luna Display is wifi based. That makes the practical range of Luna Display MUCH farther. I can go to another room in my house and it works fine. Not the case with Sidecar. Also, Luna Display is (finger) touch screen. There are times where that's really handy. OTOH, it seems like window/app management is much better and more intuitive with Sidecar. You don't have to drag a window. You can select Move to iPad and it shows up the right size. Also, strangely, Luna Display doesn't have a virtual keyboard like Sidecar does. If you're remote and you really need to enter some keystrokes ... unless you happen to have a keyboard attached to your iPad ... you're out of luck. That's pretty painful.
Can you use sidecar while using other apps on the ipad? For instance, if I was using sidecar, can I still use the other ipad apps or splitscreen or anything like that without breaking the connection?
I can’t wait to use this feature! I have the beta 3 on my iPad Pro.. but I use my Mac for business daily, so I am going to have to wait until fall to use it
This is one of the most useful features Apple has ever added to its OS families. Many people own both macOS and iOS devices and this brings many laptop and desktop Macs immediately into the wonderful world of touchscreen software. To those who haven’t enjoyed a touchscreen PC, it is an absolute revelation. Many softwares become instantly faster and friendlier to use, to a degree that simply has to be experienced to be believed.
With Sidecar, are you able to stream real 4k youtube quality on the iPad. Chrome browser > youtube 4k > dragged over on iPad. Recently found out 4k option is not available on Safari browser (desktop or mobile) and only on Google Chrome.
Are they also making changes with Microsoft products, in order to use the Apple Pencil on the Sidecar? I'd love to be able to scribble notes onto a PowerPoint presentation for live interaction, and as of now I can't do that in SideCar mode. Also would be useful for signing documents or hand-writing notes on margins of doc's.
how quick is it to switch from regular iPad "mode" to sidecar and back? Using a shortcut for that would be fantstic, because it would mean, I can use Music apps on my iPad feeding into my Macbook and switch back to sidecar whenever I need it.
Do you have touch controls in the iPad while using it with final cut pro? Let's say I move away from my computer and take my iPad with me. Will I be able to continue editing only using touch controls or the apple pencil? Thanks in advance!
So you can’t start sidecar from the ipad pro? Maybe starting from somewhere in control center on the ipad? Can sidecar work if the mac is asleep or does the screen have to be on continuously on the mac to use sidecar?
Great videos !! Will definately check out the new channels. Please can you tell me what the matching screen saver or dynamic wallpaper is on both the ipad pro 11 and macbook pro at 1:25 ?? Thank you
I have a quick question regarding sidecar. I have an 2017 iPad Pro 12.9 and an 2019 iMac when I want want to extend the screen on my iPad I don’t get the same background that is on my iMac. Can you recommend some suggestions as to why this happening. Thanks
What is the app that you use for diagraming out your presentations? I have seen it in a few videos. shown at 6:48 on your MacBook screen (and a few other places on both iPad and Mac).
Hi Chris! Can I ask if the sidecar working with photoshop is pressure sensitive? When you use the apple pencil does it pick up the pressure sensitivity or does it pick up the tilting function that the apple pencil has so you can really paint on photoshop with the apple pencil? :)
Hey can you use sidecar with something like the ravpower travel router for the WiFi connection when your not at the house. Leave your MacBook Pro closed in your bag with the file hub turned on and keep your iPad out and basically be using a full Mac OS from the MacBook Pro on the iPad on the go.
Great overview. My sense is that in the end, it will all come down to latency. Can I game on the separate monitor? Not that I’d want to, but I’m sure it will prove an issue for some.
Hi man , Is it possible to connect iPad Pro to my Smart TV as a separate ( extensional ) screen via airdrop if both device are using the same internet network?
Little confusing. Some of the items you mention like watching RUclips and viewing notes in split screen don’t require side car. I do this all the time without sidecar. I’d like to be able to utilize adobe for example and annotate on iPad with the Apple Pencil while having the reference page open. If I see a reference in the body of article I can go to Mac and locate in the reference list and locate via internet or other source. Is that possible with sidecar?
So,this can be used as a backup software keyboard for the MBP?I presume that you would have to have the same app open on the MBP and iPad.Is this correct?
Does anyone else have problems when using the sidecar terminal hack for older macs running the beta?? It wont work and I can’t use sidecar even when enabling it on my early 2015 macbook pro
Hi, thank you for preparing this video. Very informative. It’s something I am planning to do once all the OSs are updated. I bought the 11” iPad Pro last April, downloaded Duet, didn’t work and I didn’t have time nor enthusiasm to look into it further. I think the extra screen will be handy in many ways. Only concerned that my MacBook Pro is from December 2014, but if Catalina works the side car facility should work too. I also liked the screensavers on beta, and your iPhone and Apple Watch charger set up. I’ll look into your accessories link. Thanks again
Subbed!!! Loving my new MB 16 and iPad Pro combo, I ignored the Sidecar thing as a gimmick at first. But after this vid I think ill try it out? Just can't get the mouse to flow through, yes it is Connected to both... lol. Anyhow, ty you deserve the SUBS!
Great video. I’m very much looking forward to using sidecar with my 12.9” iPad! Specifically photoshop and maybe even Premier Pro. Also...I have that same phone/AirPod/watch charger! 👍🏻
Unfortunately, sidecar only works for ipads.. Do you know some apps to realize dual monitor with an Imac because imac's from 2014 no longer have this function of dual monitor?
I need this so bad but with Windows, for drawing. Duet and the other apps I tried are not good enough (either lag and bad picture quality or no pressure support in zBrush)
@DailyTekk thanks for video Cris, I have a quick question, I noticed that you have a G-drive on your desk, if is the one with two Thunderbolt 3 is it possible to connect the iPad to it and run sidecar or to do the wire connection it has to be directly to the mac?
i am actually raging my mac mini, bought less then 2 years ago (2014 model, but full stacked out) is not compatible with sidecar. Is there any news on wider range of support any time soon? spend 1700 euro's on an already outdated mac.....
Thanks for the video. This really makes me think about some...well expensive, investments :) Did you maybe try how that actually works while using Premiere Pro?

@DailyTekk Just curious, what’s the wireless charger you’re using in this video?
Does it have to be with a new iPad Pro or can you use the old iPad Pro
The video starts at 1:28
Oh the irony of Duet ads running just before this video
jayceevans I got it too😂
Personalised ads...
I am writing on my mac mini while running duet to watch this video on my ipad pro :D
Side car with a 12.9-inch iPad Pro and the 13-inch MacBook Pro is my dream set up
The terminal command that unlocks sidecar for unsupported macs no longer works in the new Catalina beta... You can see sidecar in system preference but it does not detect iPads. Does anybody have a solution?
What is the screen saver you use
Can you share it’s link
I want to know too
I’d love to know as well
SCREEN SAVER?
It comes with macOS Catalina. Its called Drift.
link to that sweet moving lockscreen wallpaper?
multi user Ipad OS is a MUST these days.
Great vid Chis ... thanks!
I have Sidecar set up and I've had Luna Display since it came out. Sidecar is very slick and useful. Couple of other things to note ... Sidecar is BlueTooth based, Luna Display is wifi based.

Can you use sidecar while using other apps on the ipad? For instance, if I was using sidecar, can I still use the other ipad apps or splitscreen or anything like that without breaking the connection?
Okay, but I gotta know what charging station is at 8:54. Dying to get a dock that can charge my phone, airpods, and apple watch all at the same time.
Does it work wirelessly?
I can’t wait to use this feature! I have the beta 3 on my iPad Pro.. but I use my Mac for business daily, so I am going to have to wait until fall to use it
13:00 What every person imprisoned in the friendzone says.
Great vid. What’s the screensaver at :08? Looks super dope.
Josh Boardman want to know as well
Josh Boardman I think it’s one of the new ones available in Catalina.
It's a newly added by apple in the public beta 3. The name is 'Drift'

Is this only possible with the iPad Pro?
With Sidecar, are you able to stream real 4k youtube quality on the iPad.
Chrome browser > youtube 4k > dragged over on iPad.
Recently found out 4k option is not available on Safari browser (desktop or mobile) and only on Google Chrome.
So does this feature only work on the latest iPad Pros? I still have the first 10.5" iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil and would really love this feature.
But Catalina is available for the 2012 MacBook Pro?
Yep, runs great on mine
Can i use the ipad mirror and close the macbook? So i can put it in my backpack?
Hey! Would you do a video on iPad usb c hubs? I've: Hyperdrive, Bolt Usb, etc
Are they also making changes with Microsoft products, in order to use the Apple Pencil on the Sidecar? I'd love to be able to scribble notes onto a PowerPoint presentation for live interaction, and as of now I can't do that in SideCar mode. Also would be useful for signing documents or hand-writing notes on margins of doc's.
Have you been using sidecar with FCPX for masking and painting on the iPad Pro? Seems like it would be heaven. Curious.
Can you use sidecar with a Mac and two iPads?
This is what I want to know about it!
I’m using this now and it’s super fast and clean. I was using duet display but it started crashing EVERY TIME I used it 👎🏽
what’s that stand for your phone, watch, and airpods?
Will Sidecar work with Macbook Air 2015?
Will sidecar work on the iPad when it's on a vertical orientation? TIA
Wait a minute, I see something very weird on the touch bar in 2:45! Does it have touch id on sidecar???
it's pointing to the touch id sensor on the mac
Does it have to be with a new iPad Pro or can you use the old iPad Pro?
how quick is it to switch from regular iPad "mode" to sidecar and back? Using a shortcut for that would be fantstic, because it would mean, I can use Music apps on my iPad feeding into my Macbook and switch back to sidecar whenever I need it.
Do you have touch controls in the iPad while using it with final cut pro? Let's say I move away from my computer and take my iPad with me. Will I be able to continue editing only using touch controls or the apple pencil? Thanks in advance!
You mention it’s not usable as a touch screen so does that mean touch only works in some apps that support the pencil?
Can we drag and drop window using mouse to iPad and click and use mouse functions there?
That moment, when you are hyped af because of sidecar... and can‘t use it, because you have an old MacBook 😏😭
My life
Yep!!
If your Macbook or any old Mac doesn't have an Intel Skylake processor then your outta luck using Sidecar 😒
Would iPad mini (gen 5) still work for Sidecar, with all the same functionality?
So you can’t start sidecar from the ipad pro? Maybe starting from somewhere in control center on the ipad? Can sidecar work if the mac is asleep or does the screen have to be on continuously on the mac to use sidecar?
Ironically, I was about to pull the trigger on duet today until I learned that Catalina will have this feature.
that's not irony
Great videos !! Will definately check out the new channels. Please can you tell me what the matching screen saver or dynamic wallpaper is on both the ipad pro 11 and macbook pro at 1:25 ?? Thank you
Where can I get that background on the MacBook
When using sidecar does it turnoff/disable notifications that the iPad would regularly get?
No, you can even swipe up to switch temporarily from the temp Sidecar app on the iPad to another app.
Great video. Thanks! Which screensaver do you use at the beginning of the video?
M P You can get the screensaver in the new Catalina OS.
I absolutely love sidecar.
It helps so much on fcpx
I have a quick question regarding sidecar. I have an 2017 iPad Pro 12.9 and an 2019 iMac when I want want to extend the screen on my iPad I don’t get the same background that is on my iMac. Can you recommend some suggestions as to why this happening. Thanks
I have an iPad Air 2 and was wondering if it is compatible with Sidecar.
I’m looking forward to the feature, but why would you use sidecar to watch a RUclips video on the iPad instead of using the app already on the iPad?
Controlling with keyboard/touchpad/mouse? Those are a lot faster than touching the screen..
Hi. I need to know if I use the iPad connected to the usb on the Mac mini? Also If I don’t update to Catalina I cannot duplicate the monitor?
Anyone know which video I can find the iPhone, watch and AirPods charger (shown in the video to the left of the iPad)?
Sidecar looks very useful, I will give it a try sometime.
does it work with the cheap 9.7" ipad?
brainstorm90
I think it works with any iPad using iPadOS
yeah
Does sidecar allow us to control MacBook using the iPad?
What is the app that you use for diagraming out your presentations? I have seen it in a few videos. shown at 6:48 on your MacBook screen (and a few other places on both iPad and Mac).
Jason Zuehlke looks like some mindmap app.. try XMind.
MindNode
what screen saver are you using at 0:10?
it’s called drift
- Please Add your podcast to Apple so it can be played on the Podcast app. Thanks
Yes! It'll be everywhere in 2-3 weeks. We're waiting to have 3 episodes before pushing it out.
Awesome review! Thanks! BTW, my son wants to know what type of phone charger that is by your iPad. Do you mind sharing a link to it?
Hi Chris! Can I ask if the sidecar working with photoshop is pressure sensitive? When you use the apple pencil does it pick up the pressure sensitivity or does it pick up the tilting function that the apple pencil has so you can really paint on photoshop with the apple pencil? :)

Does anyone else have problems when using the sidecar terminal hack for older macs running the beta?? It wont work and I can’t use sidecar even when enabling it on my early 2015 macbook pro
WHAT IS THE WALLPAPER PLEASE AT TIME CODE - 0:08. ?
What about mac mini? ☹️
Hi, thank you for preparing this video. Very informative. It’s something I am planning to do once all the OSs are updated.

is iPad Air 2 compatable ?
Subbed!!! Loving my new MB 16 and iPad Pro combo, I ignored the Sidecar thing as a gimmick at first. But after this vid I think ill try it out? Just can't get the mouse to flow through, yes it is Connected to both... lol. Anyhow, ty you deserve the SUBS!
How do you get that animated lock screen that you showed at the start of the video?
Instead of a regular wallpaper, you use a live wallpaper
Great video. I’m very much looking forward to using sidecar with my 12.9” iPad! Specifically photoshop and maybe even Premier Pro. Also...I have that same phone/AirPod/watch charger! 👍🏻
Who makes it. I love it
Keep up the awesome work man! LOVE your vids! No one should sleep on this channel
Thank you!!
Where are the screensaver from at the start of the video?
Unfortunately, sidecar only works for ipads.. Do you know some apps to realize dual monitor with an Imac because imac's from 2014 no longer have this function of dual monitor?
This will be used a lot by me. I’m pretty pumped for the OS updates Apple is rolling out for Mac and iPad.
that gradient is playful and made me smile, +1 like
with that said try mixing other colours like yellow and red. Adobe Color is a solid tool I use to explore colour palettes.
Portrait mode support?
How do you select "Connect" on the iPad, when default is "Disconnect" when running Sidecar (with No Apple Pencil)?
Thanks!! Now Im going to watch the video.
:)
But can you use it with an external monitor and iPad when the Macbook is closed?
Nope
Unfortunately it doesnt work with ipads that dont have pencil support. So I’m stuck with Duet on my 2017 5th gen ipad.
Portrait mode could be extremely useful don’t you think ?
Thanks for this man!! Can’t wait to start using it
Whats the name of the screen safer you used at the start of the video? Great Video btw
It's Drift, new in Catalina
I wonder when Sidecar will get out of Beta. I want to try it but I prefer not to do it until it gets out of Beta.
Do you need to have the newest MacBook? Bc I got the mac from early 2016
Datrox
All you need is any Mac that can run Mac OS Catalina and any iPad that runs iPad os
Can I Sidecar from 27 in iMac???
Can anyone tell me what’s being used to charge his phone at 1:25??
That looks dope
Video in 2 weeks on new desk setup goodies including this dope dock... (but that's the least cool thing in the setup, TRUST me)
DailyTekk can’t wait! I’m looking to get redo my set up a little before this semester starts
I see some others also want to know - have been combing Amazon but could not find anything like it - please let us know ;)
@@Dailytekk is the video uploaded yet? if not can you tell us the brand and model number? :)
I need this so bad but with Windows, for drawing. Duet and the other apps I tried are not good enough (either lag and bad picture quality or no pressure support in zBrush)
Marc-André Voyer get a mac lol
you can you two fingers to zoom in out safari or swipe two fingers to scroll safari page :)
@DailyTekk thanks for video Cris, I have a quick question, I noticed that you have a G-drive on your desk, if is the one with two Thunderbolt 3 is it possible to connect the iPad to it and run sidecar or to do the wire connection it has to be directly to the mac?
Shout out to Andy Mineo and Reach Records!
is it worth buying a iPad Pro for this?
Touch bar fried as in software wise or literally hardware failed ?
Immanuel Koshy software fried, not supported yet
Brilliant video thanks, love sidecar now i have some knowledge from you.
can you use side car with an imac and a macbook?
That I haven't tried yet...
DailyTekk I JUST bought an iMac this weekend... I want to test this out with it
i am actually raging my mac mini, bought less then 2 years ago (2014 model, but full stacked out) is not compatible with sidecar. Is there any news on wider range of support any time soon? spend 1700 euro's on an already outdated mac.....
Great video. Love your desk who makes it?
BDI
Thanks for the video. This really makes me think about some...well expensive, investments :) Did you maybe try how that actually works while using Premiere Pro?
