Security slot on iMacs

Hello,
my workplace is about to buy 30 iMacs (intel based ). I wonder if they have security slots like mac minis have?
If so, then I am considering this kit http://www.computersecurity.com/mac/imac.htm to secure them to my existing furniture. I wonder if the scissor clip will fit into the iMac slot. The vendor recommends this kit but I want to make sure before ordering.
Anyone, any idea?
Thank you

  • How do I get Linux on Slot Loading iMac G3 350 running with Tiger OSX?

    Hi,
    How do I get Linux (Ubuntu) running alongside Tiger 10.4 on an iMac G3? I have a 350MHz Slot Loading iMac G3 Indigo currently running OSX 10.4. I would like to have Ubuntu and OSX on the same computer, so when I boot, I can choose which OS to boot into.
    I have tried several times, but I can't seem to boot from the Ubuntu PPC CD. In the Ubuntu pages, it says that there are two types of iMac G3's. New style and Old Style. Supposedly New style ones are easier to have Ubuntu on it, but I don't know which I have.
    Any help is appreciated.

    The "new style" they refer to is probably distinguished by the type of optical drive it has. The two types are completely different designs (on the inside), but the most obvious visual difference is the slot-loading optical drive in the newer design, and the tray-loading optical drive in the older design.
    As for Ubuntu, is it an old enough version you are trying, so that it works on PowerPC Macs. How did you burn the CD (?), because some of those old drives may have trouble with booting (or even reading) some CDRW media. CDR generally works

  • What is the security slot?  What is it for?

    What is the security slot?  What is it for?

    Primarily for a retail store or business to anchor the device using a locking mechanism....so the AirPort won't fly away.

  • So why did Apple decide not to put a Kensington Security Slot on the new MBP?

    So, I went to the Apple Strore today to prove I wasnt crazy. There is no
    Kensington Security Slot on the new MacBook Pro. I work in the Production and Audio Visual Industry and there are times when we need to lock down our walkables MACS. Now at $3,700 maxed out, why in the world Apple leave off a
    Kensington Security Slot?

    Rather than insult other users or the names they chose, you might want to re-read my post in which I said that this is a user to user forum. Apple does not comment here. We are not here to do business. We are here to offer technical support, and your question was not one requiring tech support. We simply are not allowed to discuss Apple decisions here.

  • Think it is about time to get internet security for new iMac. appreciate recommendation of product

    am interested in getting security for my imac g5. dont know of a good product. Have eset on my pc's is highly rated.

    There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac will NOT be infected by a virus, it may have other security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
    You may find this User Tip on Viruses, Trojan Detection and Removal, as well as general Internet Security and Privacy, useful: The User Tip seeks to offer guidance on the main security threats and how to avoid them.

  • Will there be a patch for the security flaw for iMac version 10.6.8.?

    Will ther be a patch for the security flaw for iMac version 10.6.8?

    What security flaw are you referring to? If you're referring to the recent SSL flaw, that was only present in OS X 10.9.

  • What is the best security for my imac

    i want to put some security on my imac late 2013 i been looking at 3 diff software norton internet security 5 for mac - intego premium bundle 2013 - Kaspersky Security for Mac i do alot buying on line and banking i work off wi-fi indoors which is password protected aol which is now talk talk can you tell me if any of them 3 are good and what one to pick or is there another one out there better then them can anyone help please.

    I see that others have already recommended my Mac Malware Guide, so I won't repeat that, or duplicate their advice.
    Regarding Norton and Kaspersky, you should absolutely avoid them. Norton isn't any good at detecting Mac malware, plus it's well-known for causing problems. Kaspersky is better at detections, but has also caused a number of problems from time to time.
    I want to like Intego's stuff, because I like the company, but I'm afraid their more full-featured stuff has been implicated in a number of performance problems and crashes in these forums over the years. For manual scans, though, you simply cannot do better than Intego's VirusBarrier Express, available for free in the App Store. And because it's from the App Store, it really can't cause any problems.
    Note that you need to be more concerned with other aspects of security, such as making sure your online accounts use strong passwords, and that you don't use the same password for more than one account. Be sure not to do any sensitive transactions on any third-party wifi network, especially one that doesn't require a password... only from home, on a network you control, or on some other network managed entirely by people you know and trust. Answers to any security questions on sensitive sites should be nonsensical, so that they cannot be guessed... for example, Q: "What city were you born in?" A: "flying purple people eaters". Keep an encrypted log of all these question-answer pairs. If two-factor authentication is offered, it's usually a good idea to use it.

  • Cisco 2911 security slot

    Does Cisco 2911 K9 router have a security slot to put a anti-theft cable into?

  • Lock for my Pro that won't beat up the Security Slot

    I have been looking for a lock for my MacBook Pro. But all the ones I find, based from reviews, tear and beat up the security slot. I have found a lock that connects via the DVI screw slot, but it was out of my price range. If anyone has bought a lock that doesn't tear and beat up their security, plase tell me about it.

    Other security measures:
    MicroSaver® Alarmed Lock
    Ncase
    iAlertU

    STOP Plate
    Action video on manufacture’s website
    ====================
    Record your MBP serial #

    Set up a firmware password. Doing this will prevent someone from booting from a different startup DVD/CD

    Check with your Homeowners or Renters insurance to confirm if they will cover your laptop outsite of the home.

  • Security slot lock

    Does anyone know of a cheap, durable security slot lock? Thanks.

    As noted, the Kinsington combination lock works very well. I purchased one because I spend some time in public WiFi cafes and there have been 'grab and run' thefts. I secure the cable around the table base and connect to my laptop's security slot.

  • Kensington security slot worn away on two MBPs

    Hi
    Two of our MBPs seem to have the same fault: The security slots, which we use with Kensington Microsavers, have worn away, meaning that the Microsaver simply slides out even when locked. There is a plastic sleeve around the opening on the MBP - this seems to be the weak point which wears away. This isn't an issue on other laptops we use, which seem to have more robust metal slots.
    This seems like a pretty big design fault. We use our machines in youth centres and they won't last long if we can't lock them to something!
    Any other experiences of this?

    We've had this happen on 5 of our MacBook Pros so far. The plastic inside the slot is much softer than on previous Apple laptops. The replacement part (bottom case) is about $500 and is not covered by AppleCare.

  • Security Slot

    Why does Apple insist on putting the security slot in the worst possible place? The optimum place would be at the top left or top right corner of the machine, not at the bottom right.
    For example, look at the new MacBooks that were just released today. If you put a security cable on it, all of the inputs are blocked!

    This is a user to user forum. No one here knows why Apple does what it does. You can ask them yourself by submitting your question on their Product Feedback website.

  • Security slot damaged........

    In order to protect my precious 17" PB, decided to buy the "Kensington Slim Kevlar MicroSaver Lock" about 18 months ago.
    Worked fine, until yesterday: the lock just dropped out of the security
    slot on the floor.........
    What good is a "40% stronger security cable with aircraft grade steel cable and Kevlar brand fiber " if the inside of the security slot on the PB is made
    out of cheap plastic?!?!?!?!...................
    Has anybody else experienced the same issues?
    (fyi, haven't taken it back to Apple just yet, will be interesting to get
    their perspective on things.........).
    han

    I've never before noticed that the slot's inside is plastic(but, then, I rarely have need/occasion to use a security cable)! That IS a big shortcoming. As they say, a security system is only as strong as it's weakest link. What were the Powerbook's designers thinking??? They really fell down on the job on that one! If a thief yanked pretty hard on a cable-secured PB, the plastic would likely come out and the security cable along with it. Then it's goodbye Powerbook.
