I would like to connect my older MacBook Air as a second monitor using a Thunderbolt cable.
I can use 'screen sharing' via WiFi but that is not what I am looking for.
I suspect my Thunderbolt Bridge is not configured properly: the MacBook Air shows a 'Connected' status (using DHCP with manual address) while the MacBook Pro also displays a green light however the Status says 'Some connected'.
Macbook Air Dual Monitor Setup
Apple doesn't make a USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adapter, so you won't be able to connect a 2016 or later MacBook Pro to the Apple Cinema Display, or any other monitor that uses a Mini Display Port. From 2011 to 2016, Apple sold its Apple Thunderbolt Display, a 27-inch 2560x1440-pixel monitor that relied on a Thunderbolt 2 connector to carry data to and from a Mac along with a MagSafe.
The bottomline is that I do not have the option to share my screen (no additional 'Arrangement' tab in 'Displays').
How can this be fixed ? Do I need another piece of software ?
