Need your advice!
I'm using Target Display mode with my MacBook Pro 15 late 2011 and iMac 27 2012.. I connect them via Thunderbolt > Thunderbolt cable and it works really well.
However I want to use Thunderbolt port on laptop for something else and connect them via HDMI > Thunderbolt. So I've tried today Mini Display to HDMI adapter and plug it into Thunderbolt port on iMac (it doesn't have separate mini display port ) and connect to laptop via HDMI cable. And it doesn't work like this.
I was trying to find a special HDMI > Thunderbolt cable but seems like they don't exist.
So that;s the best way to fix my problem? Try different adapter? Which one exactly?
Would appreciate if someone with the same setup share what exactly he uses for solid connection.
Thanks in advance!
