Hi,

I have a iMac Intel 24 and just wondered if there was anyway other than SHARE screen I could could connect my MBP to the utilise the 24' screen.

This would be really useful, but just not sure if/how it can be done?

Thanks

Rich

You mean like "mirror" mode? No, you can't use the screen on your iMac for the MBP the same as you could with a separate monitor.

Regards.

You could connect MBP to iMac with firewire start MBP in Target mode - hold T key after power on - then the HD icon for MBP will come up on the 24.
