Please HELP!!! I just bought a Macbook Air M3 and have an iMac 2012 running Catalina. I've tried the thunderbolts to usb c, etc etc. and nothing works. Will Luna Display work for my setup? And if so, can you set the iMac to be an external monitor and close the Macbook Air while you do the work? Any information is greatly appreciated.
@HelpfulPhil3 күн бұрын
I don't quite know what you mean by having 'tried the Thunderbolt ...' ? That won't allow using an iMac as a screen unless you use Luna Display! The MacBook obviously has a keyboard and trackpad, so if you're closing it you'll need to connect alternative external devices. You can't use the same devices as are on the iMac as you need those to launch the iMac, enter Password etc.

Hi Phil, thanks for your informative video. I just got Luna display to use my old iMac 2015 as a display for my 13" Macbook Air 2019. Both have Retina displays. I've connected them using an ethernet cable (using a USB-ethernet converter on my Macbook Air). The problem is that the connection seems slow and laggy. Is there an adjustment on the resolution on either of the Macs I have to make? Anyway I can make the connection faster? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
@HelpfulPhil3 күн бұрын
I think you may have done everything possible to make it faster. Using a cabled connection is the right choice. Make sure that the Ethernet connection is the choice in Luna Display settings too.

Great video! I'm thinking about connecting my new mac mini to an old imac via ethernet. While using Luna display will I be able to use the old imac's camera and cd/dvd player? Thanks.
@HelpfulPhil5 күн бұрын
Nope! you can''t use the camera or Mic built into the iMac when using it as a display with Luna Display. You are likely to be able to see files (like a HDD) if they are on the CD/dvd using the files sharing feature highlighted in my another video on my channel.

Great video, thanks. I have a Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017 iMac running Ventura and also have an M1 MacBook Air. If I purchase this Luna Display I presume I can connect via USB-C and use my iMac as the main display whilst the MacBook Air is closed and use the iMac keyboard and mouse? Will look at getting a Mac mini M4 when released.
@HelpfulPhil14 күн бұрын
Yes. That will work, but the iMac Keyboard and mouse may be restricted in some their features, e.g. you will lose the swipe features of the Magic Mouse. If you can set your iMac to auto start without a Password, then connect your mouse and keyboard to the MBAir that'll be nicer to work with. The issue in this set-up is finding a way to start the iMac and make sure that the Luna Display Secondary app starts (on the iMac), but there are ways to do it.

Used as an extended display, the imac is usually doing a good job, and indeed i can watch youtube videos while doing something else on the macbook air's screen. I do have to lower the resolution to 1920x1080 or lower on the imac screen though, or else I get too much lag.

I managed to get this working using USB-C to USB-C and then used screen mirroring.

When the Apple keyboard and Apple Magic mouse are Bluetooth to one of the devices the other device doesn't pick them up unless I reconnect them on the other device using the wired charging cable so that Bluetooth connectivity can be created. This is a pain so I'm working across 2 keyboards and mice for now. Any ideas?
