IF you are attempting to use Target Display Mode please read Target Display Mode and you will see you are very likely out of luck. Please remember Macs are computers, they are not external displays for other devices. However, there are third party solutions you can try.If I were in your shoes, I would simply buy an external display for your laptop. You will find it:
• Less expensive as no expensive cables and software are needed.
• MUCH more reliable.
• Extremely simply to setup and maintain.
