Use your old iMac screen with your MacBook Pro/Air
In this video I show you how you can use Luna Display to share your MacBook screen to your old iMac.
If you want to utilise your old iMac as a secondary screen for your new M1/M2-based MacBook Or older Intel Mac, you can do this using the Luna Display hardware/software option. This enables you to connect your iMac and still access its hard drive and integrated graphics card to enable you to easily pair this with a new Mac.
In this video I show you my set up, using the USB-C version, showing you how I connect my, 27inch 5K iMac, to use it as a perfect second screen connected to my MacBook Pro 16" 2019 (Intel).

Pleased you keep finding it👍🏼
I forget how to do this every time I need to descale and I have to search for this video again to figure it out lol.
This worked beautifully! Thank you!!
Can you force it to 16:9 using magic lantern, or is the only way to get it is to crop in post?
You can only receive the aspect ratio of the sensor, in this case 4:3.
thanks this was helpful Phil!

The only screen I have is my iMac, what do I do please?
You'll need to find another monitor to set everything up. Some use TV's as Apple supports those.
Hi Phil, initially I'm going to use the luna display with a new mac mini m2 pro in headless mode to an 27 iMac late 2015 - the router is quite far away so ethernet is not possible. Can I use the usb c to usb a method without any noticeable problems - it's for general tasks and photo editing - I'll also need to do some video calls. thx
Yes, the USB cable option is good. Your use cases, app requirements are fine too.
@@HelpfulPhil thank for your prompt reply! Do you happen to know if the usb-c to usb-a (3.1?) cable is of a particular type - I understand you'd need one capable of file transfer, correct?
@@davew3139 Use the best USB 3.1 or better cable you can find.
Great video, thanks. I have a Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017 iMac running Ventura and also have an M1 MacBook Air. If I purchase this Luna Display I presume I can connect via USB-C and use my iMac as the main display whilst the MacBook Air is closed and use the iMac keyboard and mouse? Will look at getting a Mac mini M4 when released.
Yes. That will work, but the iMac Keyboard and mouse may be restricted in some their features, e.g. you will lose the swipe features of the Magic Mouse. If you can set your iMac to auto start without a Password, then connect your mouse and keyboard to the MBAir that'll be nicer to work with. The issue in this set-up is finding a way to start the iMac and make sure that the Luna Display Secondary app starts (on the iMac), but there are ways to do it.
Can you give gift any camera for live streaming please
Can you give me gift of any camera for web cam please
Add power options > temperature shutdown > high
Yes, but better than that - I have a small USB Powered Case Fan mounted behind the camera and I turn it on if I get a heat warning or know that I'm going to be streaming for long enough for the camera to get hot. They're available for about $20 from Amazon; also using a high rated >1.8v USB power supply for power.
@@HelpfulPhil I'm doing the same thing with a fan, but a dummy battery instead of USB C
works!!! thanks Phil
Does the iMac intel screen run the fan? Get hot?
It would run the fan if it gets hot. Mine is silent!
Too bad it only supports 5K 45Hz or 4K 60Hz. I'm gutting the iMac instead and purchasing a separate monitor control board to make it more of a proper external monitor. But Luna Display is a good option if you don't want to do any hardware modifications and can live with the lag.
Kudos to you saving the perfectly operational, but out-of-date iMac from Landfill.
Helpful! As Carl Sagan didn't say, "Billions of symbols!"
hey how to directly launch finder search
Apple's base search is Command-Space for search; Alt-Cmd-Space for Finder window
I just purchased my first imac, an m3, and I'm curious about using an older m1 imac as a second display. Will this work for that kind of setup?
I'm told that you shouldn’t need Luna Display with two M-series Mac's as you can use Apple's Continuity Display, but if that doesn’t work then Luna Display will.
@@HelpfulPhil Thank you much
Hi Phil, I have just recently bought the Luna Display to run my old iMac 27" 2014 as a secondary monitor to my MacBook Pro M3 but have found the mouse very laggy, is there anyway around this? Everything else works well.
Can this work when the network connection is via WiFi? And if so how. Since my router is not really close I am been using Luna via WiFi and I am connected to my iMac with USB C - USB A cable. I am trying to make this work and my IMac doesn’t appear on the finder Locations. I have the bonjour computers box checked. Any ideas why why it doesn’t work?
Of course Luna Display can work with WiFi as per this video, but I recommend cabled connection when possible. Making sure your iMac WiFi is working, click the 'Network' icon in the Finder window to see your iMac, as shown at 5:00 in the video.
@@HelpfulPhil I am trying to make this work and my IMac doesn’t appear on the finder Locations. I have followed all your steps, checked the bonjour computers box . Any ideas why it doesn’t work for me?
@@jimmyvanis sorry to hear that. Perhaps a call to Apple support may lead to a solution for you.
Have you tried to set it to record video?
Yes you can do that by holding the shutter button for about one second, using the same technique. You might be able to record video now with a shortcut voice command. I’ll check and make a new video if you can.
Hi Phil thank you for the guidance with the Luna setting up. Any ideas why the notifications stop to display each time I am connected with Luna. Is there a fix for that? Thank you
I've not noticed this issue - is it with specific app notifications ?
@@HelpfulPhilnope, with almost everything, calls, messages, app notifications
I managed to solve this thankfully, apparently I had to enable the “Allow notifications when mirroring or sharing display” setting in Notifications panel. So I guess this could be a nice heads up to mention on your next video. Thank you for your time
Can i use descaling powder such as cafiza into the water tank?
Quite likely, check with cafiza that it is suitable for these types of machines, then follow all the usual rinsing protocols and I'm sure you'll be fine.
I'm using an iMac 27'' mid 2010 with macbook air M3. Each device is plugged via ethernet through my router. I have no direct connection between the two computers Used as a main display it works very well. Used as an extended display, the imac is usually doing a good job, and indeed i can watch youtube videos while doing something else on the macbook air's screen. I do have to lower the resolution to 1920x1080 or lower on the imac screen though, or else I get too much lag.
HI will this work with 2 Imacs use as monitor?
Luna Display only supports one monitor/iMac.
Hi Phil - please can you help?? I've followed all steps but i'm failing at the terminal section. i get an error back within the terminal which says 'zsh: command not found: telnet' i can confirm that ive connected to my wifi, been given an ip address for the camera, and have enabled wifi... any ideas please??
Did you successfully install Homebrew and activate Telnet as shown at 06:40 in the video ?
Think I *may* have resolved this. i started instructions on pc but when that didnt work i jumped to these mac instructions and tried to pickup where i had left off on the pc. now i see you have the instructions for telnet installation! All seems to have been successful but i dont have the correct hdmi cable to check. movie mode still displays info on the camera itself, hopefully the output will be clean when i have the cable to check with!
I managed to get this working using USB-C to USB-C and then used screen mirroring. The only thing I've not managed to work out yet is how to share the same keyboard and mouse between Macbook Pro 2023 and iMac 2020. When the Apple keyboard and Apple Magic mouse are Bluetooth to one of the devices the other device doesn't pick them up unless I reconnect them on the other device using the wired charging cable so that Bluetooth connectivity can be created. This is a pain so I'm working across 2 keyboards and mice for now. Any ideas?
I too have 2x Mouse & 2x Keyboards. The input devices for the iMac are used for waking/sleeping and typing the password, so live out of the way.
@@HelpfulPhil okay makes sense that what I'm doing.
I have no idea what happened to my ZV, but this video helped me get it up and running again!
Glad it helped!
Very helpful indeed
So can i use this Luna display thing to let me use my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015 as the main display for my windows 11 minisforum mini pc using an ethernet cable to connect the two machines ?
Really no idea! Windoze PC's ain't my jam! Check the Luna Display website link in the description for compatibility.
Great Information, thank you so much!!!!! Very helpful
Hello! I have the ec680 but it doesn't have the hot milk/cappuccino switcher. Can I buy it and will it be compatible?
Ask Delonghi. but I doubt you need to change it, just use it to heat and froth at the same time.
Very helpful! thanks!
Hello, Does it works if my old iMac is an iMac 2017 (Retina 5K, 27 inch) with Ventura 13.6.9 ? Thanks
Absolutely. I currently use exactly that model.
If I put the luna display dongle into m3 Mac mini, and using 2017 MBP for primary display, can I use the MBP built in keyboard and trackpad FOR MAC MINI ?
Yes. In fact this is the recommended way of working as it will retain all of the functionality of the input devices. Your iMac's Keyboard and mouse can be used but you will find that some of their 'Special' features don't work, unless they are paired to your Mac Mini.

So does on Time Lapse mode, more practically.
Googled it and seems that “Hey Siri” doesn’t work in the “photo” preview mode in Camera but works on SLO Mo or Portrait modes. So using Siri on SLO Mo to take a selfie works!
You can now use the 'Take a Selfie' Siri command. It uses the pre-programmed Shortcut, so either say the command or tap the shortcut.-- new video maybe!
The problem is that “Hey Siri” doesn’t respond over the camera preview. Only the side button can activate Siri. But pushing the side bar isn’t that practical I many selfie taking situations. Any solution?
Will your method works with ios17 because Siri becomes unavailable after it opened the camera app.
Finder is gray and I can't add it...
make sure you follow all steps shown exactly.
Hi Phil, great info! I'm thinking about picking one of these up to use my 2015 iMac as a second monitor. Perhaps a silly question, I do my video and photo editing on my main computer, and often use my 2nd monitor to stream you tube or Netflix. Have you had any issues streaming videos on the second monitor? Or is there too much latency?
I regularly stream RUclips on the iMac with Luna Display. Sometimes you can detect a little degradation in quality. I think you'll find it's fine.
Thank you!
Hi Phil. Is it possible to use an Ehernet cable attached to my old iMac late 2013 to a dongle switch adaptor attached to my M2 laptop (no ethernet connector). Here is the catch, can I connect it directly without using a router?
If you mean a USB-C to Ethernet converter then yes that should work, direct connection without a router.
Thank you so much Phil. I’ve watched a few videos on using voice control for taking photos and I was getting very frustrated. When I watched your video I completely understood and it worked. Thanks again
Really help thank you so much
I connected my 2016 MacBook Pro (USB-C) via ethernet cable via dongle directly to my 2014 iMac (which does not have USB-C but has ethernet) and even with a direct wired ethernet connection I found the connection somewhat laggy. When I move the mouse it's not super smooth, and video definitely is a no-no (can maybe get 1080p video to run barely, but I can't imagine 4K). Would Thunderbolt 2 cables with a Thunderbolt 3 adapter be better or not necessarily? Is there a way to have streaming video from the source computer playback smoothly on the second screen? My ideal use case scenario would be to buy a new M3 Mac Mini and use it in headless mode to my 27 inch 5K iMac. Do you know if streaming films in 4K would be possible via this setup?

I think that the Thunderbolt cable would not necessarily offer a better performance than your ethernet cable. Make sure there are no other 'heavy duty' applications running when you're playing videos, especially additional video processing programs. I watch RUclips videos quite happily on the Luna Display iMac.
Legendary, thanks mate. 6:38 for the settings to change
