To use Sidecar, turn on Wi‑Fi or connect over USB
I was doing some work on a Sunday morning and wanted to play some music so stuck on a random Study Spotify Playlist. I watned to move the window to my iPad to keep it out of the way so I went into the Spotify App and chose the menu item move to <ipadName> iPad.

When I did this I got the error
“Unable to connect to <iPadName>”

This generally comes down to an issue with the computer you’re on trusting the iPad you’re trying to connect to.
To create a Trust, do the following.
- Open Finder
- Click on the iPad in the left hand menu. You should see a button like this

- Once you hit the Trust button you’ll get a challenge popup on the iPad asking you if you want to trust the computer trying to setup the Trust.

- Press the Trust button and the Finder window for the iPad should change to something more akin to what you expect to se.
