Mirroring from iMac to MacBook Pro Hello, I am trying to mirror my Macbook Pro ( Mojave, 13 inch, 2016 two Thunderbolt ports) to my iMac (Mojave, Retina 4K, 21.5 inch, late 2015). I was advised by an agent to purchase the following accessories in order to mirror the Macbook. https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD861LL/A/apple-thunderbolt-cable-20-m https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MMEL2AM/A/thunderbolt-3-usb-c-to-thunderbolt-2-adapter I am not sure if I was advised correctly, because I was not able to be present to show the agent my devices. Please advise on whether I was advised correctly, and if not, what I would need to do differently. Thanks!

Problem with screen mirroring I have problems with screen mirroring. Does anyone know if the problem is that my MacBook is too old, and that is why it's not working? So I am trying to screen mirror between my iMac which has macOS Monterey version 12.6 and my MacBook which has macOS Big Sur version 11.7. I have just uptated both and restarted them. Both are in the same wi-fi network and bluetooth on. My MacBook has the screen mirroring option but I just can't mirror the screen between these two. I was able to use my iPad to mirror with my iMac. Is the problem just that my macbook is a lot older than my imac and that's why it's not possible, or what might be the problem?

Make sure your machines meet the specs and you are using the correct cable to connect them.
