User level: Level 1 (8 points)I can't get my MacBook Pro (Catalina) and new iPad (7th Gen) to connect using Sidecar. It doesn't show up in the preferences menu. I have everything turned on, I'm sure. Any help?

Hello,
MacBook Pro 2018 is supported by Sidecar. Please verify that your iPad and MacBook Pro are signed in with the same Apple ID. Have you tried physically connecting your iPad to your MacBook Pro using its USB lead? You can then open System Preferences > Sidecar.

You need a 2016 MacBook Pro or newer.
What year is your MacBook Pro.

Hello-- Thanks for your suggestion to connect through USB; that worked fine. I don't know why I couldn't do it through WiFi as instructed.
Will

Most likely your Wi-Fi router was filtering the signal.

It's a 2018 model, so it should work, right?
