Which iMac do you have? Only the iMac 27" models have a video input port in addition to a video output port. If you have any other model, it won't work.

No, there is only one port on the iMac 21.5" model and that port is output only. I happen to own a 2011 iMac with the Thunderbolt output port, however, it only offers video out. The iMac 27" model has two ports (video in and video out) which is the reason it can be used as a monitor for the XBox.
