Hi
Ive just received my new Macbook Pro 2020 and from time to time I want to use my still perfectly working Imac late 2012 as external monitor. The Imac has a thundebolt connection and the Macbook Pro 2020 had Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) connection. Both are running the newest Catalina. So I purchased the official Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter with a Thunderbolt cable. According to the descriptions on the Apple website I should be fine by connecting the Imac and Macbook with these cables and ten press CMD+F2 or CMD+FN+F2. But nothing happens. Not when logged in, not in the login menu.
I noticed that in the keyboard preferences there is no shortcut mentioned for CMD+F2. I also cant seem to add a shortcut. Dont know if this causes the problem?
I have no clue what goes wrong...anybody that can help me out?
