Any help with this one would be appreciated.
At work we have an old iMac 27" (Late 2009, identifier iMac 11,1) that we have replaced with a MacBook Pro (2018, identifier MacBookPro 15,2). We want to use the old iMac as a monitor, and theoretically it should work since the Late 2009 to 2014 iMacs supported Target Display Mode. I've got a Thunderbolt (USB-C) to MiniDisplayPort adapter on the MacBook run directly into a MiniDisplayPort cable plugged directly into the old iMac, hit Command-F2, and nothing happens.
The iMac is running 10.10.5, the MacBook Pro is running 10.15.2 (Beta), so all the software versions are above 10.6.1. I've used this Apple Support document as a guide (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204592), but I can't seem to get it to work, so I'm clearly missing something. Any advice?
