The old machine is running High Sierra 10.13.6 and the file system is OS Extended Journaled. The new machine is running Big Sur, 11.2.3 The file system is APFS. I figured target disk mode would be the way to do so and I got the Thunderbolt to newer thunderbolt and the cables at the apple store. I hope this finds everyone well! I purchased a new Imac and need to transfer files from the older machine. Issue with Target Disk Mode from Imac Mid 2011 to Imac Retina 2019 Hello All, I have the Promise R4i in there with about 5 volumes at least one of those is ExFAT. Potential variables (I don't want to mess with): I do indeed get the moving thunderbolt icon on the screen. ![]() In both cases I connected to each in turn of the two top thunderbolt 3 (usb c sized) holes. ![]() ![]() In target mode, none of its drives mounted for either my mac mini (with a thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt 2 adapter+ apple thunderbolt cable Nor with a new macbookair with thunderbolt 3 connected directly by thunderbolt 3 cable. I finally broke down and put the mac pro into target mode. I got a thunderbolt 2 to 3 connection working but for whatever reason (and i've read this happening elsewhere), the speed was slower than gigabit ethernet. I am trying to speed up a transfer to my new mac pro using target disk mode as gigbit ethernet will take hours.
