Turn you iMac to a powerful HD 1080p@60Hz external Computer monitor to use with your Thunderbolt capable computers like the Macbook pro . Using iMac in Target Display Mode will enable you to send video and audio via thunderbolt ( mid 2011-2014) via mini displayport ( 2009-2010) . This would turn your iMac into a full HD external Monitor sound will come out of your iMac speakers. • In this Video I have also explained how to use your iMac as Target disk mode to transfer the data at higher speeds via Thunderbolt . The prime use of this function would be in a condition where the iMac become unbootable you would like to backup all the data before troubleshooting etc. • The iMac mid 2011 used in this demonstration was on latest Mac OS Sierra V 10.12.4 with thunderbolt version d.0 micro firmware 1.2.1. Macbook pro 2012 was running on Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 , Thunderbolt firmware version 25.1 micro firmware 2.1.1. • iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) and later iMac models can't be used as Target Display Mode to be used as external HD Monitors . I wonder why Apple disabled this amazing useful function ? , most of us can already guess ‘’to sell more products like Cinema 30’’ screens or LG/Dell compatible Monitors to the creative industry’’. • For iMac Mid 2011 models to 2014 the Target Display Mode will only work with other Thunderbolt-capable devices. This means that connecting another Thunderbolt Mac to your iMac, such as a 2012 MacBook Pro will work just fine but devices that only output HDMI or DVI, such as the Xbox One , PS4 , Windows PC , Tablets etc won’t work but they will work with iMac 2009-2010 as these iMac models support mini display port input signal whereas the iMac Mid 2011-2014 only support mini display output signal via Thunderbolt but not the other way around. • iMac models you can use as external Monitors in Target display mode , cables ports required are listed on apple website and link is below. • Official Apple Link to Target Display Mode and what models are supported and cables required : https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204592 • Official Apple Link to Target Disk Mode : https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201462 • If you have any questions then please ask. • Like share the Video and subscribe to my channel for more videos .
