Connect 2 Macs for a Duel Display Setup WITHOUT THUNDERBOLT!

looks like what?

I have a 2009 iMac that I’m trying to use as a second display but the mini display cable doesn’t go all the way in the port. Has anyone else had this happen? The cable goes into all of my other Mac’s with thunderbolt as well as mini display. Just not the 2009 iMac.

Okay, never mind the fancy intro, two things here: first, you're not showing, only talking about a mini display port fitting inside a Thunderbolt cable—what does that look like? Second, it's "dual", not "duel"—we don't want these Macs 'n' monitors duelling w/each other, we want them to work in unison as a team, to lovingly embrace each other. So please take this step-by-step and show us you doing it.

Hi, I have an old imac from 2006 which is getting hard to use, so in order to not disposal it i thought to buy a new one and connect it to use it as a monitor, it is possible? Thanks

Nice mouse XD

gotta love a video where they say "The mini display port looks like this" and they don't show you one to look at.

does it works with MacBooks?

Oh this is the first time he say's Eystreem out every time the video ends

6 years later, this video still save lifes !! 🙏🏻 Many thanks, it works perfectly btw iMac G5 (2010-High Sierra) & iMac G5 Retina (2014-Big Sur)

All first viewers of Eystreem thanks for supporting him!

Hey :) thanks for the vid
I have an old imac that I wanna fix and use
But first I wanna see whats on it
How do i plug it in so i can see the old content on the new one?

He keeps saying 'the mini display port hookup looks like this'.... I watched it 4 times and still can't see what it looks like

Wait i need to know how it works with the thunderbolt cable lmao

Hello! I own 2 iMacs: a mid-2011 and a late-2012. According to Apple website, I should be able to connect the 2 machines (both support Target Display Mode). So I got a Mini Displayport cable (not Thunderbolt; just mini DP), but command+F2 doesn't work. In fact, I noticed that in Systems Preferences / Display, neither iMacs show the "Arrangement" tab I was supposed to view at this stage... Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong? Is it the cable, that should be Thunderbolt?

THANK YOU! No one is sharing that cable - whew!

Will this work with a Macbook Air and Macbook Pro?

I have a 2010 and a 2011 but this doesn't work

2020??

Will this work on Catalina? With 2 newer iMacs?

I have connected them with the cable, but this did not work for me! Any troubleshooting ideas?

Dueling displays? That’s not what I want!

who's watching in 2019
that's how many

HELP. Both my iMacs have mini display port so i am connecting them Via mini Display port but the F2 function is not working. One of my iMacs is a 2008 model and I read that iMacs made before 2009 cannot work as Duel display. Is there a solution to make it work???

You won't find that cable anywhere...

Great tutorial bro. I subbed

Puberty stage

thx

does this work with two mac book pros?

How is GPU strain on the Macs? Will one take the load, or will it do the work evenly? Like for example: if I play video games at the same time on both Macs...
