target display mode cable needed for mid 2012 macbook pro retina to mid 2010 iMac 27"
I am not clear on which cable to get to connect my laptop (mid-2012 macbook pro retina) to my iMac (27" mid-2010) so I can use the iMac as a display.
My laptop has a thunderbolt port and the iMac has a mini-display port, which I thought was a thunderbolt port. But a regular thunderbolt cable doesn't work.
I don't see a thunderbolt to mini display port cable available.
Which cable do I need to buy to make this work? or should I be looking for some kind of adapter to the thunderbolt cable or hdmi or something?
Thanks!
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
