so I was looking for a new monitor for my Mac

and then I realised I had an old imac

just sitting in my garage

so I started to

to investigate how to use this worn out

2,006 imac as a second monitor

turns out there's a few ways we can do this

first way this is by using an app called Duet Display

no Duet Display you can also use your

your iPad as an additional monitor

but we're looking at using that old Mac

that you've got tucked away

so here's a setup

I've got an old Mac and this one's like a 2,006 model

so it's quite old and I've got a new 16 inch MacBook

first thing

the first thing I'm gonna do is visit Duet Display

and because the

the Pro version offers a lot more features

and it's only like $1 a month more

I'm gonna go for that

I need to download and install duet on both machines

so when you've downloaded and installed them

just make sure they connected to the same network

I'm going to open up duet on both machines

and then on the older machine

I'm going to extend the desktop from me MacBook

and there we go this old Mac

it's no longer a Mac

it's an extra display for me MacBook

I can now drag stuff over from one Mac to the other

and that's great

but I've never really like connecting over the network

I prefer a cable it's more reliable

now before I show you how to really up the quality

if you're getting value from this

hit the like button

maybe even subscribe if you're feeling generous no

if I wanna use a Mac as a monitor

I want it to look as good as a monitor

so we need to get away from connecting via Wi-Fi

and for this we need a couple of things

on this old Mac

I've got one of those old Thunderbolt ports

the square ones no

this won't work with display ports

which do look kind of similar

it's gotta be a Thunderbolt port

it's gotta have the little lightning symbol on it

not the square and I'm gonna need a Thunderbolt cable

that fits my old mic

and I'm gonna put links to all this stuff below

we're also gonna need an adapter

plug the old Thunderbolt cable into a new Mac

which takes the new style Thunderbolt 4

an apple does sell one

so I'll plug the cable into the old Mac

connect the adapter and then plug that into my MacBook

if I now open up System Preferences on both machines

and then navigate to network

I wanna make sure that I can see the Thunderbolt bridge

on both computers and then

it's got a little yellow or green light next to it

it does so we're all good

now I can drag things about

and this is as good as a monitor

now the limit that duet display has

is that you need at least Mac 10

13

which is High Sierra on your old Mac for this to work

so before you can start

you might have to upgrade your old Mac

now if you don't want to then you can go for option 2

this may be the way you wanna go

so option 2 you can use a little dongle like this

and use an app called Lunar

No Lunar in my opinion

just as good as Duet Display and light Duet display

you can also use your iPad as a second display

and you can turn your old Mac into displaying

lunar will work on Mac versions

all the way down to El Capitan

which is version 10.11

all you do is download the lunar display app

onto your alt machine

and then

you download the lunar secondary app onto your machine

you plug in the don pull into your old machine

and launch the apps on both machines

there you go they now connected

but like with you display

if you want the best performance

what you should do is connect your computers together

with a cable now

you can use an Ethernet cable

or connect both computers to your router via Ethernet

then with the app launched

come up to preferences and make sure on the Mac to Mac

you've selected Connect Ethernet only

and of course

you need to have the dongle in the old machine

so there

you go two ways to turn old Macky into a new monitor

I hope this helps until next time bye for now
