Target Display Mode: keep sound on first iMac
I have two 27" iMacs side by side: a 5k 2017 model (call it 'Main') as the main display, with a 27" 2011 non-retina model ('Remote') next to it. They're connected in a completely standard way as the Apple site tells you to do it. Everything works fine and in addition I can switch the Remote... -

I have looked all over, but have not found any specific confirmation or refusal of this: can a non-Retina iMac 2015 (such as base or mid 21.5" or base 27") do Target Disk Mode? The "letter of the law": https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204592 suggests not due to the verbiage "...Late 2014 and... -
Target display mode and DVI? (2009 iMac 27")
I have a late 2009 iMac 27", and I'd like to use target display mode with my 2006 Mac Pro, so that I can use both machines and one desk. The problem is that the Mac Pro only has DVI outputs. If I get a DVI to Mini Displayport adapter, will TDM work? -

Using 2010 iMac or LED Cinema Display as a Display for Power Mac G5 or 2006-08 Intel Mac
Many of you probably know that the 2010 iMac supports a feature called Target Display Mode, and it needs Mini DisplayPort to work. No PowerPC Mac ever shipped with Mini DisplayPort as they all predate it, so that would make the feature incompatible, right? Wrong. As it turns out, there are...- redheeler

Using Target Display Mode is there a way to assign a application to a certain display as with a seco
I have set up my Late 2013 iMac with my 2017 iMac using Target Display mode. I know I can drag an application to any screen I desire, but can I assign that app to open in a secondary display even after I close the app, and reopen. I know I do it with my old regular display.

iMac as display for Macbook Pro with Thunderbolt
I'm trying to connect my 21.5 inch iMac (2015) to my Macbook Pro (2013) using a Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable. I'm obviously missing something because I thought it would work quite simply. Is it possible for it to work this way, or is it impossible?- aleciava
