The old computer is definitely working in target disk mode because it has the grey screen with the target disk mode icon on it and they're connected via a USB A to USB C cable which I know is working because my new computer is charging itself off of the old computer, but the drive isn't showing up. I'm trying to transfer all of the music and videos and a few documents off of it but can't get the target disk mode to show up on the new computer. You needs to put one of the computer in Target Disk Mode (Press T on startup) and connect another USB-C equipped Mac with a USB-C cable (or USB-C to USB Adapter / Cable for older computer) Note that the USB-C cable that come with your MacBook Pro 2016 does not work. First, connect both Macs using a Firewire or Thunderbolt cable (this won’t work with a standard USB cable). On the Target, enter Recovery Mode and use the Share Disk command in the Utilities Menu. Well super annoyed now =/ Since target disk mode wasn't working I tried restarting my old computer and since it's a dying 2011 GPU computer now it won't restartįinally received my new MacBook Pro. Target Disk Mode, to connect to another Mac Connect Macs using a USB, USB-C or Thunderbolt cable. Even if I unplug the cable it still says I have a remote disk device. Update: There is a remote disk that shows up in finder but there is nothing listed in that folder when I click on it and when I try to eject it, it won't eject. This may be in the wrong section, wasn't sure if I should post this here or in high Sierra forums

Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to enable a finder setting or something for it to access the old computer as a hard drive instead of just a power source? I'm trying to transfer all of the music and videos and a few documents off of it but can't get the target disk mode to show up on the new computer.
