Adjustable arm for 24" iMac

Has anyone come across a working VESA desk mount arm that support the 24" iMac's 25 lbs? Anybody have any experience with the Egrotron LX (rated at 20 lbs) or the Moview mv17dc (rated at 25 lbs)? Is there another DESK MOUNT arm that anybody has experience with that will work with a 25 lb iMac?

  • Desk mounted articulated arm for 24" iMac?

    Hi Everyone,
    Can anyone recommend a desk mounted, height adjustable articulated arm that's suitable for the 24" iMac, please? Must be available in the UK. This could be the clincher between an iMac and a MBP - and i'm looking to order next week!
    Any bad experiences with fitting the Apple VESA Mount?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, I have used glass topped desks, I don't think apart from possibly getting broke by accident they are good at absorbing vibrations from keyboard or maybe even the Mac itself..I invested in a nice oak table, centre iMac -> Right, Printer -> Left, 2 x External HD's..plus lots of space for card readers/documents/office & cell phones etc etc etc... I have a small filing cabinet under the desk..works for me.
    Don't forget a ""comfortable chair"" ------- happy key tapping...L

  • Whats the best desk arm for an imac

    I want to mount my iMac on a movable arm. but there are several out there. which one would be best? I also have two other 24" monitors, and would like to mount them on either side, and be adjustable. but do any of these arms seperate enough to put the mac in the middle?

    Could also just be an accumulation of dust on the botton grill work and small air intake behind the stand that is causing the iMac and graphics to run hot.
    Every few months I shut down (stopping the fans) and vigorously vacuum the bottom grill work and small intake of my 2006 Early Core Duo to keep it running cool.
    Check your current tempuratures with iStat Pro, vacuum the air intakes and check again. Apple - Downloads - Dashboard Widgets - iStat Pro
    Unfortunatly if however the Graphic's chip is damaged from repeated overheating, then really the only fix is a very expensive repair or a new iMac.

  • Articulating arm recommendation for 24" iMac?

    Can anyone recommend a good, reasonably priced articulating desk mount arm for a 24" iMac?
      Mac OS X (10.3.7)  

    The Apple store online has some vesa wall mount adapter kit, it may not
    have everything you'd need, but there is some information there for a start.
    VESA Mount Adapter Kit for 24- inch iMac
    Other online or retail vendors may have additional products along this line;
    and additional parts for this system are said to exist. Maybe to look further
    on the Apple store accessories page may yield a few more pieces.

  • I bought a new keyboard for my iMac (10.5) but the f1,f2,f3, etc. buttons don't work. Rather, f14 is the adjustment for brightness. How do I change it back to normal?

    I bought a new keyboard for my iMac (10.5) but the f1,f2,f3, etc. buttons don't work. Rather, f14 is the adjustment for brightness. How do I change it back to normal?

    Certain older Macs can't use later version Apple keyboards.
    Various aluminum models were compatible with later model
    G5 PowerMac and iMac, while the older could only use older
    model keyboards. Third party USB keyboards from a variety
    of makers other than Apple may work OK.
    Be sure the Mac OS X is updated to the last Combo and
    then see if there is any other software update is available.
    Not sure now (years have gone by) if there was a firmware
    update applicable to the older Macs so they could use later
    metal keyboards. I'd found several white USB polycarbonate
    Apple keyboards to work with most of the last PPC Macs;
    and bought spares as available, metal / newer didn't work
    with mine. Several white plastic ones can work w/ intelmac.
    There were keyboard model numbers (Apple) noted to work
    with aluminum PowerMac G5, while others that look other-
    wise identical (except number on keyboard) did not work...
    Too new, and they weren't supported. Worked w/Intel-Mac.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Which antivirus product is recommended for the iMac?

    Which antivirus product is recommended for the iMac?

    OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it updated with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • 3rd party Vesa for 2013 iMac 27'' ?

      hi guys
      was thinking about keeping my late 2009 27'' iMac i7 a while longer BUT a few, unexpected "extra pennies" came tumbling in &.....here i am thinking about it ! ;-)
      however i'm NOT sold on the idea of getting it either with a desk stand OR a OEM fitted Vesa mount ! even if mine's mounted on an Ergotron wall arm...
      i've always needed/managed to sell my used iMacs for a reasonable sum, reasonable enough for the buyer to make it worth their while, reasonable enough for me so i DON'T have to fork out the entire price of the new machine's
    it DOES help & so far the friends who bought my iMacs ARE very happy with them - what i call a good deal all around...
      under this new ''either/or'' stand policy my gut feeling is that.....when time comes to re-sell it & upgrade to something else, users who actually wall/desk mount their iMacs being A LOT fewer than those who don't, means i'll be kindda stuck with an unsold machine for a LOOONG time !! or one i'll HAVE to sell for a lot less to a MUCH smaller crowd of potential buyers ? :-b
      i have googled up the availability of 3rd party Vesa mounts availability up but besides the fanfarre of ''Vesa mounts FINALLY available at '' spread all over the web ( as if something unheard of.. ) i couldn't really find anything
      so my question is : has anyone seen, heard of, bought, is making one such Vesa mount for the 2013 iMac 27'' ? i'd rather pay an  Service Center to mount it AND keep it's desk stand to resell it later, you know ?
      much obliged
      Nuno

    I have the same dilemma, though I usually sell my old computers on ebay rather than to friends. It appears there is no solution at this time that will allow us to have our cake and eat it.
    I am opting to buy the iMac with the Vesa mount and I figure that while there are few buyers on eBay for an iMac with a Vesa mount, there are virtually no sellers.
    When it comes time to sell my iMac, I will be the only one selling a machine like mine on ebay. So anyone who wants one will be happy to pay what it's worth - which is exactly what one with a stand is worth. That's my gamble.
    There is also a chance that a 3rd party Vesa mounted stand will be available by the time I sell the computer, and I could offer the computer with either option.
    At this point my only other choice is to buy an iMac with a stand, which is unacceptable - or wait, which is also unacceptable.
    I guess we'll see in  a few years whether the gamble was worth it.
    This thread has inspired me to send Ergotron an email requesting that they consider making an elegant Vesa mounted iMac stand.

  • Suitable Desk for 27" iMac?

    Hello,
    Can anyone suggest suitable desk (home use) for 27" iMac? I'm looking for a desk to put iMac, iPad and Time Capsule. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,

    According to my own experience 24 inches for depth is on the edge. 30 inches (as the professional desk's have) may be better as you need space for the forearms, mouse handling or the trackpad. Height adjustable may also be a benefit.
    A tray for the keyboard looks nice and tidy but most likely you will have placed the keyboard on the desk for convenience.
    If the keyboard is placed in the tray and you're writing the forearms are always in mid air and the open drawer is between your belly and your work.
    Not a suggestion but an example for a good computer desk is this one --> https://www.schooloutfitters.com/catalog/product_info/pfam_id/PFAM9172/products_ id/PRO22878?sc_cid=nextag.com_SPT-38902ADJ

  • I need to buy an External Portable HD 500GB for my iMac OSX 10.4.11 (PowerPc 2004). Can anybody please tell me a few Names/Products that are compatible? Please if you can, just tell me some product name, instead what generical characteristics it needs :s

    Hello
    I have been reading forums and forums and after days of research l gave up.
    Unfortunately it seems that nobody has provided a name of a brand yet.
    Although the effort is very admirable, l am still at the point of finding myself back at square one, with an unanswered question:
    Which portable external HD 500GB should l purchase for my iMac 10.4.11 (Power PC 2004)?
    I know there are many different ones, but l hope at least somebody can suggest one.
    A clear Name of a Product that matches the compatibility.
    I am not an expert of computer and so all the theoretical explanations of technical characteristics mean next to nothing to me :(
    I hope that someone kind enough to halo me out with this will be able to let me know.
    My most greatefull thank you to you all in advance :)

  • My iPad mini won't work at room temperature.  I have to warm it up in my hands/arms for 2-3 minutes before the screen works correctly.  Anyone else have this issue or know a solution?

    Two or three weeks ago, I had a cracked screen replaced on my iPad Mini 2 with retina display (32G).  It worked perfectly for 2-3 weeks, so I don't know how relevant the screen repair is.  Anyway, the iPad is currently running iOS 8.1.3.  I completely reset it because I want to sell it, but recently, the screen display started to have issues.  One afternoon I turned it on and the screen was a faint gray with vertical streaks that went away after I turned it off then back on.  That night, the screen would stay black when I tried to turn it on.  It was a different black to being off, though.  When I try to turn it on it changes to a brighter black, if that makes sense.  I can see a change in the shade of black, but there's no color or app icons.  The sound works even when the screen doesn't.  The only way I can get it to turn on properly is if I hold it in my hands/arms for 2-3 minutes.  I think the heat from my hands has something to do with it.  It's just weird that regular room temperature seems to be too cold.  We've had a cold winter in NY this year and my iPad may have spent 1-2 hours in my cold car the day this happened, but I can't say for sure.  Has anyone else heard of this issue or does anyone have a solution?

    I Also have this problem!!
    In my situation, the screen simply started exhibiting the same symptoms a few weeks ago (early February) for no apparent reason.  At first I thought the screen was dead, but discovered the heat solution by accident.  Now I turn it on and keep it from going to sleep until I go to bed.  Thank goodness the battery is still awesome on this thing.
    I bought it new and still has the original screen, I keep it at home (never below 62 degrees).  Coincidentally, this happened a day or two after the expiration of the warranty!!  Any help figuring this one out would be eternally appreciated.

  • I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. I want to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere? Also is it worth just buying another external HD to back up

    I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. However, it is not backed up, so I need a solution to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere for cloud products? Will it be cheaper/easier just to buy another external HD to back up my existing external HD? Thanks

    I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
    it is.
    is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
    i wouldn't - at least not until i
    mount the external
    point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
    consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
    The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
    in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

  • Do I have to get a hard copy of Snow Leopard for my iMac if I already have it for my MacBook?

    I have Leopard on my iMac, and Snow Leopard on my MacBook (both with all available updates)~I tried to use the Snow Leopard Install DVD from the MacBook to upgrade the iMac, but it said "Mac OS X 10.6 cannot be installed on this computer."  Why???  Do I have to get a hard copy of Snow Leopard for my iMac?  Are there different upgrades for the iMac vs. MacBook?
    I think I understand that once I have both computers on Snow Leopard, the Lion upgrade would be ONE upgrade for BOTH computers {I'm guessing I would need the client version for at home use}.  Also, once Lion was on one computer, would I just go into the Mac App store on the other one and download the upgrade on the other one?  But no additional fee would be charged?  Lastly, I read about the combo option that includes all updates to Lion since it's release~would that be the main Lion upgrade on the Mac App or would I have to search for it?
    Thanks for your help!

    The disc you used would have been the install disc that came with your Mac. These can only be used on that as they are made for that specific model.
    Make sure your machine meets requirements
    Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
    At least 2GB of RAM
    Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later (Mac OS X 10.6.8 is recommended)
    7 GB of free hard drive space is recommended
    Once you've purchased it would be a good idea to create a bootable DVD or USB

    But you can also go into the purchased section and download again
