[QUOTE="c7015, post: 1624239, member: 338663"] First , hello I am new to the boards so thanks for entertaining my question and have done some searching but I can't seem to find my solution hence the thread ok so the backstory .. have an old mid 2009 imac 27" and its dead (gets stuck loading the OS grey screen spinning wheel) so I want to use it as an external screen for apple tv ... I have an hdmi to mini display port cord that I have plugged into the dead mac I am booting into target display mode using "T" ( as I am no longer able to load the OS and use command F2) however when I boot it goes to the firewire port ( which has no hdmi to firewire cord) all I get is the firewire symbol floating around the screen I need to get it to boot in target display mode but for the mini display port ... is this possible [/QUOTE]
