Can I use an iMac 27" mid 2010 as an external display with a MacBook Air M1?
iMac 27″, macOS 10.13
Hi Mikaelo,
No. This is not possible. M1 Macs and macOS Big Sur do not work with Target Display mode.
An excellent display choice is: LG UltraFine 4K Display - Apple.
Cheers,
Jack
Yes, I saw what he said. 😎
Technically that's correct. It wouldn't be Target Display Mode. There are certain limitations. However, it is possible to use a 2010 iMac as a display.
You don't have to of course.
It´s a shame! ok thank You very much!!
Actually it may be possible if your 2010 iMac has a mini-Display port. There are a couple YouTube videos explaining how.
Yes it has, but Jack-19 told me that M1 Macs and macOS Big Sur do not work with Target Display mode
Yes, it´s good to have that option, but now I´d like to use an M1 MacBook Air as an editing machine until new iMacs are released, using my old iMac display externally.
Well I tried to help. I can't make people listen. 😎
Oh, do you mean its possible to connect a M1 Mac to my old iMac?
