Can an iMac (Aug 2011) be used in target display mode with my MacBook Air (2012)?
I want to use an Aug 2011 iMac (21.5 inch) as a second display with a new Mac Book Air.
Is this possible with a Thunderbolt cable?

Answer
No only the 27 inch can be a display. Not the 21.5.

Yes you can. I am using mine right now. Just make sure you have the latest OSX update installed.
