They did a remote capture and can see that the new Mac is not detecting the old Mac. Turns out the blatantly obvious is why it didn’t work, Mini DisplayPort and thunderbolt 2 are not the same thing.
I have tried pressing it before login (at the login screen), and after I'm logged in. Nothing.There’s more to the conversationIf your 2009 iMac is 27" you can use a USB-C to Mini DisplayPort cable.Totally agreed on the form factor. So I'm pleased that Target Display is functional.Can you update me and tell me if it continues to work?So glad I was able to get target display mode to work so I have more room to move around with all the editing tools and windows I have open at once. I'm out of ideas here. The old tech and the new tech working together for the greater good and sharing a visual harmony that makes them pleasing to the eye. While in Target Display Mode, only the keyboard’s display brightness, volume, and Target Display Mode key combinations are active. It will work with iMac models between Mid 2011 and Mid 2014 (but not Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014). That solution should work for all iMacs from 2009 to late 2012 as well. Jan 11, 2020 #1 I have a late 2012 iMac 27" with Thunderbolt 2 that I want to use as a display for my 2019 MBP 16" with Thunderbolt 3. I would drop $3k right now for a new iMac if I could get TDM back.I have an ongoing open case with Apple about this issue. Tried it as a guest user as well. I have my two side by side and all is well in the world because it’s symetrical and balanced, I would have been disappointed if it was updated and I had two different looking Macs.
Your target iMac will now display the desktop of the other, connected Mac. That’s the one. In a few months you probably won't be able to get a 2009 - 2013 iMac for love or money as they all get snapped up and repurposed as cheap secondary displays.But yes I meant to say USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adaptor.Any brand Thunderbolt cable should work. It eventually worked, now I just hope it keeps working because it sure didn't want to do it at first.If I had seven different computers on my desk, all with completely different form factors it would look like an unholy mess. The connectors are the same, but there would be a lightning bolt icon on a Thunderbolt plug."This adapter is not compatible with displays that use DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort"That's actually a USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adapter.It can be a bit flakey with initial recognition for some reason though. For example, I am able to use Target Display Mode so that my late–2009 27" iMac can display the output from my late–2009 Mac mini.
Tried it as a guest user as well. I haven’t tried a thunderbolt cord yet but I might try what you said.That adapter does not work for Mini DisplayPort.Thanks for this. Restarted both computers, tried logging out of the 2013 iMac, and nothing. Pressing Command-F2 does not work (both with and without the Fn key). I don't see any way to connect the two devices any other way. I have communicated my solution to Apple so I hope they can start spreading the correct advice and hopefully the techs at Apple can finally understand that Mini DisplayPort and thunderbolt are not the same thing even though they have identical physical inputs. Are you sure you don't have a Mini DisplayPort cable?
Macs. Because the new iMac has USB-C, I have a USB-C-to-Thunderbolt adapter, and a Thunderbolt cord going into the old iMac.
Question: Q: Target Display Mode not working 2019 iMac to 2013 iMac I just brought home a brand new 2019 iMac, and I'm trying to use my Late 2013 iMac as a second monitor. Little help, please?Okay, am replying in case anyone in the same situation finds this thread.I just brought home a brand new 2019 iMac, and I'm trying to use my Late 2013 iMac as a second monitor. Press Command + F2 on the keyboard of the iMac that you want to use as a display.
Pressing Command-F2 does not work (both with and without the Fn key). Want to use a 2012 iMac as a second display.So I figured maybe there is just too much going on - i.e. Because the new iMac has USB-C, I have a USB-C-to-Thunderbolt adapter, and a Thunderbolt cord going into the old iMac. Next to the iMacs is a stack of four 2012 Mac Minis (also part of the render-farm) And because they all share the same form factor it looks beautiful. Any other keyboard input will be ignored. Then I pressed option to "detect displays" and it worked.I recently got a 2019 iMac too.
Each should see the other computer if the Thunderbolt cable and adapter are working.SOLUTION! I'm connecting a 2019 iMac to a 2013 iMac, which is supported. At first all I got was a black screen on the 2012 iMac. Target Display Mode: 2012 iMac 27" & 2019 MBP 16" Thread starter Hexley; Start date Jan 11, 2020; Sort (Likes) Forums.
To exit TDM, just press Command + F2 again. This mode lets users attach other sources, such as Blu-ray players, video game consoles, and even other Macs, to the iMac's DisplayPort or Thunderbolt connection and use the iMac as an external display. I finally got it working last night by playing around with the thunderbolt cord and plugging it into different ports.
