Target Display Mode doesn't work

I have a similar issue. I am trying to connect iMac 27" to Macbook Pro 13" (both 2011 models). I am using mini displayport Male-Male cable to connect both computers. After connecting I have pressed Command + F2 key but nothing happens. Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Hello Varun,


Requires Thunderbolt...


Resolution

iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011) and iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) and later computers support Target Display Mode via Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable (2 m) when the source is another Thunderbolt-equipped computer.


iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) computers do not support Target Display Mode via Mini DisplayPort cables.
