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.
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!
Tbh when sidecar fist came out i thought it would be a game changer but in reality i never actually used it. Universal control on the other-hand i use use a fair bit, at least so far

We need Apple to allow us to use IPad as an external display while also having the functionality of an IPad. Bring us VERTICAL EXTERNAL DISPLAY with TOUCH features, please.
I’d be interested to know if you’ve heard of a way to maintain touch functionality without the pen on the iPad while using it as an extended display, I’ve seen this done so I do know it’s possible just not totally sure how
I’m thinking about purchasing Mac Mini but want to use iPad 9th Gen as KVM. Basically I want to use Mac Mini M2 hardware Mac OS in tablet mode on iPad, is this possible without needing mouse / kb?
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?
Macboom m1 ventura ‘ ipad pro 10.5 16.2 sidecar crashes on ipad evey 5 sec droping wifi.. universal control working with no problems. Befor ios16 updete all was fine
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.
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?
@@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.
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

Will start using this ASAP

So you can drop files on to hard drives connected to Mac desktop, or just between iPad and Desktop…. ? Great overview

I love this video
What’s the range like? If I want to walk away with the iPad using it to present how far can I go?

I love sidecar. You can use your iPad and use sidecar at the same time though….

We can only wait for a MacTouch Book with detachable screen.
Can you use the touch bar feature when using the keyboard on the iPad?
Why i cant use screen mirroring from my Macbook to my iPad using my campus wifi?

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.
Hi . I have ipad m1 . If I installed mac to my laptop(windows pc but I can install mac os)can I use universal control ?
Hello Scott, thank you so much for this! I have a question, if I have to iPads can I use sidecar for one and universal control for another iPad!
You probably already know by now but the answer is yes

In Apple community there is a thread “Sidecar Freezes within 20 seconds”

It works just fine for me 🤷
A faf?

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