27inch iMac plate to raise it level with a 27inch Thunderbolt LED Display?

Hi,
I'm in the market for a new 27inch iMac and a 27inch Thunderbolt LED display as a second monitor. Looking that the specs I note that the height of the iMac is 16mm less than that of the LED display.
That being said, I'm not keen to put something cheesy under the iMac (like a magazine) to raise it to the right level. Does anyone know of a plate/stand that might help align the two? Wallmounting is not an option - these need to sit on a desk.
I hope there's something cool to keep with the clean crisp look of the Apple gear. Otherwise I've found a place that sells aluminium plates at 16mm thickness (+/- 2mm tolerance) which may be my fallback plan.
Any advice/ideas/thoughts welcome.
Cheers,
Red.

Yes it will work. This is an answer from a Genius at the Apple Store in London:
I've contacted Engineering and they've informed me that daisy-chaining the new Cinema Display is possible up to two displays on 15-inch MacBook Pros, 17-inch MacBook Pros and iMacs. This, unfortunately, rules out the Mac mini as well as the 13-inch MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. The marketing material on the website will be updated soon to communicate this.

  • IMac 27" with external Apple 24" LED Display

    Hi,
    I want to know if is there a method to sync the brightness of the two monitor. Everytime I have to change the brightness of the first monitor, and after the one of the second...
    Another thing. All the two monitors (the imac and the external apple 24 led display) have stereo speakers. Is there a program or an option to listen using all the speakers and not only one ?
    Thank you.
    Alvise Susmel

    My understanding is that the mini-DisplayPort out on the new iMacs does not include audio so if you only connected the Apple 24" LED display via mini-Displayport, you won't be using the speakers in the external monitor. If you also plug in the 24" display's USB cable, then I assume you should get audio as well externally but no internal iMac speakers would be active then since System Preferences only allows one sound source/output to be active. I think you know all this. Are you looking for a hack that would allow multiple sound outputs to be active?

  • New MacBook Pro with dual Apple 24 LED Display's?

    I am about to buy a new MacBook to replace my iMac (which I have an added 22in monitor for dual displays). I really like the new Apple 24 LED Display (except for the price!) and wanted to know if I can have dual Apple 24 LED Display's running off a MacBook Pro.
    If not will it work using the dual-link DVI adapter with a splitter? Or if I want to run dual monitors should I look elsewere (none Apple)?
    Any helps would be awesome! My kids will love getting my iMac permanently...LOL.

    Given that the stumbling block to more flexible power options is the infamous patent-protected MagSafe connector
    The funny thing is, I've seen loads of cheap "replacement" MagSafe adapters on eBay, Amazon and in local shops. On eBay, they cost (new) about $26, on Amazon I've seen them as cheap as $17!!, against the $80 that Apple charges. And apparently, it's not worth it to pursue the matter, it's been going on for more than a year now.
    made of pure unobtanium and guarded by packs of rabid lawyers, someone is shooting themselves in the foot by making the power bricks so frail that the secondary damaged goods recovery market grows without bounds...
    I really dig that unobtainium reference :-)
    What I've found is that the bricks aren't so frail but the DC cord is! Apparently that's difficult to make resilient, with the characteristics that Apple wanted them to have. Out of every ten broken MagSafe adapters I've seen, only two actually have failed electronics, five have frayed DC wiring and three have a broken MagSafe connector.

  • 24" iMac... Mac Pro with Viewsonic Monitor or Apple Display.

    I'm tossing between the options of getting just a 24" iMac... or getting a Mac Pro and getting an Apple Monitor or Getting a Viewsonic Monitor... Are the Apple displays really worth their price? If ONLY talking displays not specs would I really enjoy the 24" iMac due to it being 24" but at the same time (quick mention of specs) it's not upgradable as much as a Mac Pro... is spending $1,000 on a 23" Apple display worth it? I want at least a 22" display. I can get a Viewsonic 22" for less then $400. What is so great about the Apple 23" display that I would want to buy that instead and spend the extra money?

  • IWeb with two iSights (twin LED displays)

    I've had the issue of wanting to use the iSight other than that automatically selected by iWeb. My two monitors (24" LED) are connected to two Nvidia GT120 cards. Switching monitor connections between cards didn't switch the iSight that iWeb chose (puzzling). Opening iChat and selecting, in it, the iSight I didn't want (so as to force iWeb's hand) didn't work (also puzzling). However, disconnecting the USB cord from the monitor whose iSight I did not want did work. Reconnecting the USB cord thereafter restored full USB port function on the monitor, which is lost during the disconnect.
    I expect that there are others with twin monitors and twin iSights who might be helped by this; hence this post.
    I have reported the issue via Apple's iWeb feedback page with the expectation that an update might bring about a software solution like that available in iChat.

    A component such as this one can be used to connect that display to a DVI port.

  • How can i connect my ipod touch to my 27inch iMac via bluetooth?

    I just bought a new 27inch iMac and i have an iPod Touch (one just before they came out with iPods with cameras).
    What is the step by step procedure to connect these 2 devices via bluetooth? Or is that even possible? Bluetooth is already activated on the iPod.

    You don't.  This is not and has never been a feature of ipod.  Sorry.
    Bluetooth is for stereo headsets/speakers and some peer-to-peer apps from the app store.
    Not the news you wanted.  Sorry.

  • New 27inch iMac, external Display "blinks" while in "Display Sleep"

    I just updated from a 24inch iMac to a 27inch iMac.
    I'm using the same setup for connecting the external display, which is a miniDisplay Port adapter(from Apple) to DVI, then DVI to the external monitor.
    All works fine until the "Sleep Display" kicks in, then the external monitor pops up the "DVI-I no signal" warning.  This is normal but instead of going away after a couple of seconds it begins to blink as if their is communications going on between the monitor and iMac.  So its blinking this message endlessly and thus the external monitor never really goes to sleep.
    Since this worked fine on the iMac 24inch, I'm assuming it has something to do with the "Thunderbolt" port, using a miniDisplay port adapter.
    The external monitor is a 20 inch Viewsonic VP2030b, running at 1600x1200.
    I added a YouTube video for clarity.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7Zm_U_7sbc

    Go to: System Preferences > Displays select the Color tab > uncheck "Show profiles for this display only" and try one of the RGB profiles to see if it is better for you.
    Then if you are not happy with one of those..? Try Selecting, Calibrating and Saving a different Profile, other than the default one offered for that monitor.

  • 2010 27inch iMac display trouble

    My 27inch iMac isn't two years old yet, I paid apple a fortune for it, so you can imagine my annoyance, when, three months a ago, the left side of the screen appeared to darken slightly. I phoned customer service and they basically said its out of its one year warranty and there's not much they can do...grrr....
    Now, to make things worse, the entire display just randomly blacks out. At first, this was for a few seconds, now it's getting longer and sometimes won't fire up at all.
    I have been reluctant to walk in to an apple store with it because the nearest one is an hour away and it's a fair size of a machine.
    Will the direct approach do any good? I have a supposedly state of the art machine that I can't use!!!

    The display failed two months, but I had already purchased AppleCare when I bought the machine, since Amazon offered it with a significant discount. That way, I wouldn't have to remember to get it at year's end. So, most likely the one-year warranty covered that and AppleCare covered the HD going south three months ago.

  • What windows version is best for my mid-2011 27inch iMac?

    L.S.
    I'd like to Bootcamp windows on my mid 2011 27inch iMac.
    What version of windows will give me the least amount of problems.
    Also, my Dvd drive isn't working. Is this going to be a problem?
    Thanks in advance!

    Windows 7 would be the best as XP doesn't have security updates coming in.
    A friend of mine has dual booted to windows 7 for gaming and hasnt had any issues.
    Just install with a USB and not using an ODD.

  • Anyone else have Light Leaks on their new 27inch iMacs?

    I just received my custom 27inch imac a couple days ago, and found some subtle light leaking on the lower left hand corner about the size of my fist, and a much smaller one on the lower right side corner. The lower left side is most noticeable when the screen is dark. Is this occuring with anyone else and what choices do I have with this?

    Hi guys. Custom 27" iMac, same thing.
    Lower left corner whiteish on dark screen, less but still visible on the right lower corner.
    I think that unfortunately it is a "normal" thing. IPS screens seem to be like this, and if you notice it, on a dark screen if you move your view angle, it turns almost white. LCD is not a perfect technology yet, and even if it is hard to say after spending all those money on a computer, I have to admit that (especially on such a big display) it is fairly normal.
    Therefore, if you ask for a repleace, you might get the same problem, or the same problem with some dead pixels on top of it.
    I'm not going to ask for it, even if I know how frustrating is to notice that what is sold for perfection is not.

  • I have a 27inch iMac, is this classed as a iMac (Intel) within the community?

    I have a 27inch iMac, is this classed as an iMac (Intel) in the. Community? It's just that I want to post a problem, but want to be sure I'm posting to the right community. Thanks in advance.

    Thank you for responding so quickly. My problem is that when I turn on from the power button, the system starts up and gets to the logon screen. I enter my password (I am the administrator) , the screen then goes white with the apple logo in the middle of the screen and the circling (like a clock face) appears. This goes on for about 45 seconds then a 'no entry' symbol with a gear cog underneath appears. I cannot get any further. I am trying to follow the manuals advice. When I use Mac Os X Utilities to repair the drive,I have two main drives appear, one is my hard drive ( which is greyed out-and will not let me repair) The other is a SATA drive, I'm not sure what this is but the repair found a fault that it couldn't repair. I then thought that maybe I need to re-install Lion, but I'm not sure which drive to choose? Also when I try to do a recovery from my external hard drive, it cannot find any drives to use???
    I am now wondering if my Hard Drive has died!

  • I have an older iMAC that once burned CD's with no issues. Now I get an error message saying "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device is not accessible, probably because it was removed". I have never had it touched so the device was not removed.Help

    I have an olde iMac that once I have an older iMAC that once burned CD's with no issues. Now I get an error message saying "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device is not accessible, probably because it was removed". I have never had it touched so the device was not removed. Please advise as to what could be the problem. How to fix. Thanks

    Try resetting the SMC and PRAM first, if that doesn't help try a cleaning disc.....and then buy an inexpensive external burner. Slimline super drive failures are all too common.
    To reset the SMC
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • IMac (Mountain Lion) does not pair with Apple Remote

    Hi,
    my iMac (2009, Mountain Lion) does pair with my remote. Otherwise the remote (or remotes, I tried two) are working fine with the iMac, it just wont pair.
    I need it to pair as I have an iMac and MPB and each having its own remote (each computer should react only to its remote, not the other computer remote)
    I googled this extensively, here is what I did so far:
    - obviously, trying the normail "pair remote" procedure as the support page says
    - checking that infrared remote pairing is enabled and no other remote is currenly paired
    - restarting Mac OS
    - removing and reinsterting battery in remote
    - making sure I am an Admin
    - disabling the remote function in Plex and killing all Plex (and EyeTV and similar) processes via Activity Monitor (thought they might somehow limite the OS control over the remote)
    - tried the same with another remote (does not pair as well)
    This is very annoying.
    Can anyone help out?
    Much appreciated

    Hi den,
    Does the remote remember which computer it is paired to? I though only the computer remebers that.
    In any case, currently there is not remote paired to any computer (both computers have clean new Mountain Lion installations). And I cannot pair any remote to any of my machines. In between, I tried with the laptop as well, and it is not pairing as well. I also tried an (old, still working) third remote... nothing is happening.
    Some apps seem to take control of the remote (e.g. pressing menu start Plex on my systems). Could that be the issue? Is there a Terminal command to give Mac OS back full control over the remote?
    Or could it be something else? 'Is there an app for that' a la ForcePair.app?
    Thank you
    p.s. this is the page that I was refering to ealier, not working for me

  • I have Movies on  my iMac that I want to share with Apple TV. How do I do that without also having them synch to my iPhone.  The movies exceed the capacity of the iPhone.

    I have Movies on  my iMac that I want to share with Apple TV. I have no problem getting the movies to show up and play on Apple TV. However, when I synch my iPhone to to my iMac all of the movies try to synch to the iPhone and this exceeds the available capacity (32) of the iPhone. So the question is, how do I make the movies available on Apple TV but not synch to my iPhone?

    I looked around some more on my iPhone and did find a video app. So all is well.
    Thanks so much for your help!!
