How to Connect an iMac to a MacBook (10 Steps)

Connect both Mac computers to a secure Wi-Fi network, if possible. This is simply the easiest method to connect them. All Apple computers come with a built-in Wi-Fi adapter. Click the 'Wi-Fi' button at the top of the screen, select the network and enter the requested password. If this icon isn't there, open 'System Preferences' from the Apple menu and select 'Wi-Fi.' Click the 'Turn Wi-Fi On' button if needed and then select the network from the 'Network Name' menu.
Turn on Bluetooth for each Mac if they are within 30 feet of each other. Like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth is built in to every Mac. To do this, click the 'Bluetooth' icon at the top of the screen and select 'Turn Bluetooth On.'
Connect each Mac to any router that has Ethernet ports, using a network cable if secure Wi-Fi isn't available. The iMac and a MacBook Pro both have Ethernet ports. If you have a MacBook Air, you will need an Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapter. USB cables may be an option, depending on the router; however, USB is slower than Ethernet.
Connect both Macs directly together using a network Ethernet cable or a Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapter if you don't have a router available. In the distant past, you would have needed a crossover cable, but on Macs today, any ordinary network cable will do.
