My iMac isn't letting me use target display mode with my new MacBook Air. Cmd + F2 isn't working.
iMac is running high Sierra, MacBook Air is running Monterey. Is that the issue?
HELP!
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.2
In short, please read Target Display Mode, specifically where it says:
iMac models introduced in 2011, 2012, 2013, and mid 2014
To use any of these iMac models as an external display:
or Thunderbolt 2 cable.This simply means your new MBA is too new. I strongly recommend that if you want/need an external display for your MBA to buy one, this is much easier to setup, much more reliable and does not require expensive cabling.
If you read the article linked above your name, you will see the VIDEO SOURCE Mac— your Macbook Air—must be 2019 or older AND running no higher macOS than 10.15 Catalina.
You will also see that the iMac must be Late 2009-2010 (27-inch) or Mid 2011 - Mid 2014 (all sizes) and running High Sierra or lower, to act as a monitor for another Mac.
TDM is dead technology.
yeah.... the more I google the more I am seeing this. Such a bummer. It was working until I got this new computer for my new job. Thanks!
