I'm using a late 2009 21.5" iMac as an external monitor from Duet software, from my 2019 27" iMac. I run a MacBook Air M1 as a third screen (second Monitor) also using Duet, but with different software for the later models. I'm dong this because I can't get TDM to work, either because it requires a 27" iMac or because I have the wrong System (Sonoma not Catalina). However, Duet generally works well, but I'm getting some latency and high CPU temps when I do some more complicated things, like attempting to share documents on Teams from my "monitor". I wondered if there was a solution that offloaded some of the processing, and I already have an OWC Dual HDMI Displaylink USB-C device for my M1 MacBook Air, so I thought I would give it a go. I have a USB-C to HDMI female cable, to which I added a HDMI Male to Mini-Displayport Male Cable. So, I install the Displaylink software on the 27" iMac, approve the Screen and System Audio Recording System Settings. Then I connect my Displaylink device, including the cable to the older iMac and I get:
"Please Connect your Displaylink Device"
In the icon at the top menu on my main iMac.
So, like Loukas, my "iMac display does not switch to iMac 27"".
Thoughts?
So, I've installed Displaylink on the 27" iMac (version for Sonoma: 1.12.4 ). When I attempt to install it on the 2009 iMac that is the monitor (versions for High Sierra: 4.3.1 or 4.1), it all installs as normal, but the application is not in the applications folder, only a folder with the uninstall app. If I try to reinstall, I get a warning message saying that it is installed. Thoughts?
