Hello!
I have a work computer Mac Pro and a private one Mac air. I bought a thunderbolt cable to connect two computers with the hope that I can use one of the computers as extra screen while editing my films with Final Cut.
While I can do this easily with connecting my Mac Pro to a TV screen (via HDMI) it does not seem like computers recognize each other.
What do to?
Best, Devrim

YYou can't. You can connect the other computer as a hard drive but not as a monitor.
That is bad news 😟
How to create a 'mobile office' then since I cannot carry around an external screen/TV with me?!
IF you have an iPad, there is software that will allow you to use its screen with your Mac.
Time to buy a one then 🙂
Thanks.
AFAIK the only mac computers that can work this way are the iMacs.
You speak of "mobile office", but also speak of a Mac Pro. It seems to me that you are mixing ideas here.
Here is what I think would make more sense: a second (large) display in your fixed office, and a laptop for your mobile office.
In a mobile environment, I would just forget about the second display. An iPad would not be that much extra screen space anyway, and you would be complicating your mobile workflow; it would require extra software on the iPad, which would likely introduce a lag. Just sayin'.
