Im reading the details of the cable I bought and it absolutely should work Cable Matters Unidirectional USB C to Mini DisplayPort Cable (USB C to Mini DP Cable) Supporting 4K 60Hz 6 Feet - Not Compatible with USB C or Thunderbolt 3 Storage, Hard Drive, or Audio Device.For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding.Think it has to be via FireWire or thunderbolt (which I dont think the Mac has).
When I get my M1 Mini, Ill be testing on both a 2008 Apple 24 Cinema display using the adapter along with a HDMI 24 display (dual displays). Apple assured me I could connect new Mac mini to my late 2009 iMac in target display mode. You can go Mac MiniTB3TB2 bidirectional adapterTB2cableiMac MDP. Stupid question but have you definitely pressed CommandF2 on the iMac, to enable Target Display Mode But if you cant get that to work, your Mac Mini has HDMI too. Why dont you just get an HDMI to miniDisplayPort cable Should be a lot cheaper. Can I confirm. is what I think on my Mac as just mdp actually thunderbolt 2 Its a 2009 iMac so dont think so. I am pretty sure a USB-C to Mini Display Port cable will not work on the TB Macs in Target Display Mode. Apple used to have a guide saying as much, but they removed it form the support site. In which case I suggest the easiest and cheapest way for the OP to get a display out is through the HDMI port, unless he is already using it for another display. Cp Chuyn Mini Displayport Archive Of ApplesI found an archive of Apples old Target Display Mode support guide, but people were saying that Apple made a mistake on the guide, and that you could not use the TB3TB2 bidirectional adapter to target display the Late 2009 and Mid 2010 iMac. The bidirectional adapter works for TB1 and TB2 Target Macs. I use a USB-C (male) to Mini-DisplayPort (female) adapter, then a Mini-DisplayPort (male) to Mini-DisplayPort (male) cable from the adapter to a 2010 iMac 27. As stated above, sometimes you need to press CmdF2 on the iMac keyboard to enable Target Display Mode. Ive read 2020 Macs do not work with iMacs in target display mode, not even as the source. My understanding was the client device wasnt specifically aware that its connecting to an iMac in Target Display Mode - it just sees a DisplayPort monitor. Can you give the process you are using to activate TDM Are you logged in or out of the iMac Are you pressing CommandF2 What keyboard are you using, Apple, wired, wireless What OS are you using on the iMac Try resetting the SMC on the iMac, it is quick and easy to do.
