Pitter's Computers
Добавлен 5 мар 2022
Hello and welcome to my channel! Here I like to talk about old and classic computers, software and their interesting histories and unique quirks.
Target Display Mode - Your Best Option
A quick video going over the best option to use Target Display Mode. A 2009 or 2010 27" iMac. While other iMacs were able to do Target Display Mode, they are limited in their use nowadays. The 2009 and 2010 iMacs can still be useful monitors for a wide variety of computers today.

Просмотров 606Год назад
In this video we look at the first Intel Mac Mini release in 2006. Released after a short lived G4 version was for sale, the Mac Mini would go on in Apple's line up to be a popular, comparatively low cost option for an Apple computer. Here we look at what it was and it's hardware. Link for more information on the Mac Mini 2006 to 2007 firmware update: ruclips.net/video/EJA4OUIDa7Q/видео.html Mu...

In this video we look a piece of software from 1997 called REAL PC that emulates DOS and Windows on Mac. We installed the program, a DOS game, and Windows 95! It really wasn't meant to be run on a Performa 6116CD, but we try anyways!

UPDATE: I have a second video looking in further detail on what iMacs can be used: ruclips.net/video/eaBTzQBGDUE/видео.html In this video we look at a unique feature several iMac models had called Target Display Mode.

Hi I love this ides. I have a 2009 IMac with a mini-display port. It is running OSX El Capitan. i have v10.11.6 cable connected to the mini-diaplay port on the iMac and the HDMI into my MacBoo Pro early 2015 running mac OS Monterey V12.7.6 i hook them up like you say ad nothing happens. What am I missing?
anyone did it on the 24"? 2009, 2010
anyone made it work with a 2009, 24"?
it needs to be more specific on the most important aspect : what is the exact description of the mini display port cable cable ?? there are so many types !
Can I use a thunderbolt to a usb c cable?
Suddenly, cmd +f2 is not working any more! why?
Thanks so much for the explanation
Do you have to be signed into the Mac every time?
FUCK APPLE!
Thank you about my 20inch Imac 2009. I can get rid of it now!
Thank you for your clarification. I tried using a Dell notebook with a Type-C/HDMI to mini DP port with an iMac 2009 21.5" several times, and it did not work. Your table allows me to give up and move on.
My 27" iMac was my first Apple product and I don't want to be without this wonderful screen. Will it work with a recent Mac Mini? Thank you
Is it possible to do this but with a ps4? Or even a ps1?
Hi, thx for the video, I have a question, at 2:16 the black cable is HDMI that you plug in the Lenovo ?
Thank you for this video. To be clear, a new m2 macbook air 2024 won't work with a late 2013 imac 27inch? It has to be a laptop before 2020?
where did you find that thunderbolt 2 cable to thunderbolt 3 cable hooked into the mini?
sucks I want to use my imac 2012 as an external display for my pc but according to this video it's not compatible :(
bro cable name or cable buy link
I have a question, I have a late 2009 iMac 27” running Mac OS high sierra with mini display port and I want to use it as a monitor for my ps3. On aliexpress there are a lot of cables from mini display port to hdmi without any usb power. Will they work? Or do I need a usb powered converter?
Honestly I would stick with one that has has the USB power. You can plug the USB part into the PS3 or iMac, it doesn't matter. The ones on Aliexpress may work, but you never know. Whatever adapter you do get, make sure it's unidirectional.
is there a way to do this but retain the audio on the original computer rather than have it transferred to the slave?
I think you should be able to select the audio output source.
What I do on these older Mac’s is just run windows on it
Thanks for taking the trouble to experiment. Like @msmith3537's experience, you have saved me from banging my head against a wall trying to get a Lenovo PC with Display Port and HDMI to work with a 27 inch iMac from 2011. However I can use my 2011 iMac with my 2013 iMac via Thunderbolt 1.
I have a 2013 iMac, will I be able to plug my gaming pc into it and use the iMac as a monitor with a thunderbolt to hdmi adapter? About to test it out tomorrow curious if you could answer beforehand
@@DavidAscarrunz Unfortunately that won’t work. The 2013 iMacs were only able to do Target Display Mode with certain other Mac models and nothing else.
@@PittersComputers :(
I think I once heard of certain Hardware you could replace that basically removes the PC out of the iMac and turns it into a Monitor... but I don't really remember when, where or if it ever worked. And yes. I did just call the iMac a "PC"
Hi! I have a Macbook Air M3 with a late 2013 27" iMac running Catalina I hope to use as a second monitor. Would that work with a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter and a Thunderbolt 2 cable? Just plugging it in doesn't seem functional.
Sadly it won't work that way. A 2013 iMac will only do Target Display Mode with certain older Macs before ARM and running Catalina and earlier.
@@PittersComputers Thanks for the reply! Would this solution work with a 2008 iMac, or is the M3 Macbook the problem?
can you use thunderbolt to hdmi adapter?
Maybe, but I would be skeptical of that working for any of the 2011-mid 2014 iMacs with another Mac. And it would only be possible on the 2011-mid 2014 iMacs as they are the only ones that had Thunderbolt ports and did Target Display Mode.
i use thunderbolt+hdmi+switch to usb C to connect imac 2012 with catalina and macbook pro 2019 sonoma, but it doesnt works...
So we can’t connect to late 2015 iMac
Nope, it never supported Target Display Mode.
About time! Apple makes great monitors.
Can it also be use with a console? Like ps4 o ps5?
What about a 2016 27” iMac? Could that be used with a Mac Studio? What about a 24” 2008 iMac? Can that be used as a display for a MacBook Air M1???
ohhh my iMac 27 from mid 2011 doesn't have a thunderbolt port (only minidisplay) and didn't manage to find a way to make it work :( is a pity that such a beautiful monitor cannot be used anymore
Can my 2021 MacBook M1 Pro use my old 2009 27" iMac as a monitor? If so, what cables do you recommend? Can you please share a link to purchase?
Yes, it should be able to. I'm using an M2 Mac Mini with a 27" 2009 iMac as my main monitor. Any USB-C to Mini DisplayPort cable would be the easiest way to do it. One like this. www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Supporting-Black/dp/B0777S15V2/ref=sr_1_6?sr=8-6
This is the 1 video anyone needs when looking into this, thank you!
Could confirm using my $6000 M3 Max MacBook Pro 16in could be connected to my 27in 2010 maxed out iMac by just using a $15-$16 mini display to thunderbolt cable. It also has been running fine and the only problem is you could only control the resolution from the main machine if you were planning to use the keyboard and mouse/trackpad onto your MacBook. Otherwise, on your main machine, which for me is my MacBook Pro you can’t control the brightness or sound of iMac, but if you did have an extra keyboard or the original keyboard hooked up to the iMac or still pair to iMac, then you could control it using the keyboard function keys, or F hot keys.😊👍
Thank you .
I’ve got a 27 inch iMac will that work.
heyy this is an amazing video can you say the cabls name you used i need to buy it cuz i got a old mac..
I am trying to use iMac 2013 with Catalina installed and use my MacBook m1 with a usb dock them to hdmi to thunderbolt and it’s doing nothing
Hi, can you help me? I have an early 2009 with a display port. But what I'm reading is that the OS needs to be High Sierra. It's a newer OS, I can't remember what version, but I couldn't update to the lastest because of space. My question is, do I need High Sierra to run my old mac as a monitor?
Super helpful. I've spent 10 hours trying to figure out why my 2009 21 inch imac wouldn't get into target display mode, ugh.
What is the make/model # of the monitor you're using? I'm looking for one to go with my PowerMac 7100, and yours looks perfect. :)
Hello, it's a NEC AccuSync LCD52V, with a model number of L154F0. I bought it off Ebay a few years ago. Good luck finding your perfect monitor!
@@PittersComputers Thank you for the response! The monitor looks really good with your Mac. :)
I have 2010 imac 21.5 inch with display port, so why it cannot be used as a monitor? Is it because it won’t run OS High Sierra?
I'm trying to connect a Mac Pro Late 2013 running Montery to my 27in mid 2010 iMac running High Sierra, but I'm confused on which cable to use. I tried a Display Port to HDMI, but it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone clear that up for me?
Hello, would you please tell me if I can I use the same cable in video and connect this imac 2009 model to the mac mini m2? And which is better/easier to buy (imac 2009) or (imac 2011) if i wana use it as display monitor to my mac mini m2? Any quick help please?
Thank you so much. This was very clearly explained. The best I've found.
What about 2017 iMac 27" 5K, 4.2 GHz Intel i7 Kaby Lake, 24 GB RAM, 1TB internal SSPOLARIS 4x NVMe SSD as boot volume, 4TB internal Crucial SATA SSD, Radeon Pro 580 with 8 GB vram, MacOS Monterey 12.x latest
I like the old ones better. You can upgrade those. You can't do that with the new ones.
I want to use an iMac from mid 2010 and it doesn't use the computer automatically as a display. Also nothing works if I press command and F2. Any ideas what could be wrong?
do you have to log in on the iMac?
Shame newer imacs dont have this option
