Hi Ted,
It coiuld only be done if you have a Video card with a MiniDisplay port, not a Display port or any other kind of port, but...
ScreenRecycler...
Thanks for the input, I am trying to use the 27 inch iMac as a second monitor for the Mac Pro. I have updated both to OSX 10.8.2, and I have a mini display cord to hook them together. I have the Mac Pro hooked up to a 20" cinema display. My goal is to use ProTools on the Mac Pro, and add the screen real estate of the iMac display.
Really appreciate the comments. Ted
Does the Mac Pro have a Mini Display port, or just a Display port?
Yes the Mac Pro has a Mini Display port, and a DVI port.
I have the Mini Display port to Mini Display port cord hooked up between the two computer.
Here's how it's supposed to work...

Geez, never noticed the mid 2011s & up need Thunderbolt!???
Thanks for your help BDAqua, looks like I'm just out of luck. T
Sorry, did you try Screen Recycler yet?
Very unfortunatly when I try to install ScreenRecycler on the Mac Pro it says that 64 bit kernel is not supported.
Suddenly success - there is a brand new beta version of Screenrecycler that works with Mountain Lion and the 64 bit kernel. Everything works great. Thank you BDAqua for excellent help. Ted
Ah, thanks for the info, wasn't aware of that. 😟
Great to hear, thanks for the report! 🙂
