I am looking to use my new 2021 Macbook pro 14" with M1 to my late 2013 imac as a display.
It doesn't matter what cables I try to use I am not having any success. Please help. Thanks!
iMac 27″, OS X 10.11
See this requirements for target display mode
To use any of these iMac models as an external display:
or Thunderbolt 2 cable.As you can see, your new MBP is not compatible with target display mode. As a first, it has difficulties to work on a laptop with any OS higher then Catalina.
As a second, you will need to use a thunderbolt 2 cable and your new MBP does not have thunderbolt 2 ports. Target display mode will not work with dongles

Then you should post to the actual forum area for MacBook Pros instead of the one for 12" Retina MacBooks models 2015 to 2017.
It helps to post to the correct forum area. You're more likely to get help there.
The last MacBook was the 2017 model and it didn't have a M1 chip.
I don’t know what you’re referring to. I bought a 2021 MacBook Pro in June of 2022.
