Will the Luna display work for the Mac mini M2 Pro and an iMac late 2015?

[enzoperez]

Wow you just save my old iMac with this solution man! super helpful. Greetings from España!

[kalyani]

Does the Luna display work between iMac 27" 2020 and MacBook Pro 14" 2021? Please help me find a solution to use my iMac as extended display. Thanks

Is it not possible to connect directly with cable?

[DeAndersons]

Hej Jaime, great video, thanks. Just one question. Once the software is downloaded om both imac and mac mini using the television, the doggel is in the mac mini. Then trying to connect the mac mini with the Imac, I press the power button on the mac mini but then...then I still need a monitor in order to fill in my password to get into the mac mini is it not? Or does your mac mini not have a password?

I just bought the Mac Mini, I was hoping to use my iMac as my screen but its 2008. Will this not work?
😔

[MrSottobanco]

I have my mini mac connected to my imac with a thunderbolt wire. It doesn't do anything. Do I needto get a luna no matter what? Why didn't Apple say this?

[darrell]

Hi, What if my old mac doesn't work too good. Will the mac mini make it work better? Thanks

[Cruse]

Damn do i really need to spend 80 bucks for the Luna display? Like if the price of the Mac mini wasn't enough

[ogzumhan]

Is it possible to connect my imac 2021 with an lenovo tiny pc, with adapter?

[rbdriftin]

Can you use it as a third display? I have an M1 Mac Mini with two displays already (Thunderbolt and HDMI) and want to use the iMac (2012) as a third one.

I have a MacBook Pro from 2015, and recently purchased a Mac mini. I would like to ask if I can use a Mac mini as the host for my MacBook, but operate it with my MacBook. Thank you

Hey Jamie! I am looking to buy a Mac mini m2 (not the pro version) and I have an old iMac late 2015. Will this method work?

[deanbrandon]

Two questions: 1--I have a 2015 iMac (Monterey). and want a new iMac mini but am not yet ready to upgrade to a studio display ($$). Can I use my iMac as the Mac mini display connecting with cables rather than this Luna device? 2--Those speakers? Kanto YU2? I have a nice setup with Bowers and Wilkins MM-1s, but if I ever do get the studio display for the Mac mini setup, it is supposed to have like 8 speakers and nice sound. Better than the Kanto, Audioengine, or B&W?

[rossim]

Very cool, does the speakers in the iMac still operate with this set up? I have a 2009 21.5 inch iMac with Sierra 10.12.6 and hope to try if I get an mini

[sidsss]

Any other option to connect the mac mini to the iPad Pro without a luna display? over HDMI?

[TemploSinaiChurch]

Will this work on my iMac 2013 on MacOS Catalina?

[Hellothereeveryone]

So with this, I can connect my M3 MacBook Air to my 2017 iMac 27inch and use that as a secondary monitor?

[thevaq]

Wonderful video. Did you know if this method work with M2 MAC mini ?

[ThisLIFEisR]

do you need the Luna display if you're connecting the mini to an air MacBook 2017?
