Why do you think this will work? Do you have a specific source suggesting that it does? These are two different computers. You are trying to treat one of them like a monitor. That is not how it works. If you want a second monitor then you need a monitor and plug it in to some of the ports you mentioned.– AppleoddityCommented Apr 27, 2018 at 13:43

Given the design of iMacs, which look at first blush just like a regular monitor, it is not unreasonable for someone to think "I could probably use this thing that looks like a monitor as a monitor" :)– bertiebCommented Apr 27, 2018 at 14:11

Ironically, it was working with a display port cable. The arrangement feature showed. Applecare thinks I have a faulty cable and suggested a different attachment and cable. So if it's not supposed to work, why did it? And, why does the arrangement feature under display show up?– user899409Commented Apr 27, 2018 at 14:23

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
