VESA adapter for 24" Aluminum iMac, doesn't fit

I just got my VESA adapter for my new 24” iMac and the mount adapter doesn’t fit onto the flange. I got the flange to attach to the iMac fine but the bolt holes on the flange don’t line up with the mount adapter they are off my about 1/4”. Did I miss a step or do I have the wrong part?
The model number listed on the mount adapter itself is A1225. The part number listed on the box is MB060G/A - iMac 24-inch VESA Mount Adapter.

Hi Patrick

Vesa Mount for New 27" iMac, does it exist?

Hi,
Has anyone found a solution for mounting the new 27" iMac? The Vesa mount apparently doesn't fit the new computer.
Thanks!

I found this but I don't have confirmation that it works, nor can I find out how to dissassemble my iMac to do so:

If anyone thinks this might work (or better still if you've tried it), please let me know.

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS upgrade for 24" aluminum iMac -- can it be done?

I have a one-release-previous 24" aluminum iMac (bought about 2 months before the newest one was released). I play a lot of World of Warcraft, and would love to upgrade the video card to the new NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS that works in the current 24" iMac.
Is there a way to do this at all? Apple solution, third-party solution, anything? I've heard rumors, but can't find out anything for sure.
All help appreciated.

Yes, I think it's technically possible, but you'd have to purchase the stock part from an Apple specialist (a corporate store probably wont do it) and have them install it. Expect to pay $300+ for the part alone. Even then, there's no real guarantee that it will work, even though they do indeed use the same form factor. There may be power/thermal issues.

Compatible vesa adapter for Apple 20" Cinema Display M9177LLA?

What is the model number of the Vesa adapter that is compatible with the Apple Cinema LCD Display model number M9177LL/A???????

According to the Apple specs for that monitor it accepts the Apple VESA adapter.
The specs state "Compatible with VESA FDMI (MIS-D, 100, C) compliant mounting solutions." And the adapter states "complies with the VESA MIS-D, 100, C version of the specification." So I guess that will work to attach to that kind of VESA mount.

Replacement Displays for 20" Aluminum iMac

As I sit here staring at another gray background website that goes from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom, I keep wondering "When is Apple going to do the right thing and replace these displays?" The poor quality display is the only thing keeping this computer from being the best one I've ever had.

If you're still within the 14 day period, return it and get a refund. So long as people keep buying the new 20" iMac, Apple has no incentive to improve the quality of it. I'm concerned about how Apple is going to honor its warranty for people who have the white iMac. If Apple can't repair them, it is contractually bound by its warranty to replace them with a functionally equivalent computer. In the past, that's always meant that a person would end up with a new model that was actually better than its predecessor, but that's not the case now. Since the supply of white iMacs is running out, Apple will eventually be replacing defective white iMacs with aluminum iMacs. However, because of their poor quality screens, especially on the 20" model, the new iMacs are functionally inferior to the white iMacs, thus leaving Apple with no way to honor its warranty unless it replaaces defective white iMacs with new MacPros and Cinema Displays.

The new power cord I ordered for my macbook air doesn't fit, too long; my computer is three years old. have they changed the powercord?

I have a three year old macbook air. I ordered a new powercord from amazon (two, actually), and it doesn't fit.
The cord connection is too long for my computer.
Is the new powercord a new size, and if so, is there any adapter?

Yes, there is a new style adapter called MagSafe2, you need the original MagSafe adapter.

VESA Adapter MA473G/A & new iMac

Will MA473G/A VESA mount adapter fit on new aluminum black iMac? Instead of using MB060G/A?

This is the discussion area for the iMac G4.
I think your question concerns an Intel-based iMac. You should post your question in the Intel-based iMac discussion area.

Mini DisplayPort to DVI-D Dual Cable/Adapter for mid-2010 iMac?

Hi . . .
Sorry to pester with a question that's been covered from various angles before, but I'm new to the Mac world. Am a musician in BC, Canada doing a project remotely with people in Ontario. Decided to ditch my PC-based recording rig and went with a 2010 iMac and Logic Pro X (hallelujah!) because the other people are using Logic Pro X. So . . . I'm just learning the ropes.
Anyway . . . I have a spare monitor I want to run in dual setup extended desktop, and I'm not 100% certain of the cable and/or adapter I'll need. I'm also not sure why the adapters are bigger and seem to contain more internal components, whereas the cables just look like a simple "Plug 1" connected to "Plug 2" cable in a variety of lengths (in the same way you'd have a XLR to 1/4" phono cable).
Here's the info on my system, and any help would be greatly appreciated (will a cable suffice or do I need an separate adapter, DVI type, etc).
My iMac (mid-2010 21" Core i3 with Firewire running Moutain Lion 10.8.5):
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-i3-3.06-21-inch-alumi num-mid-2010-specs.html
My monitor I want use as an extended desktop (Acer 22" X223W LCD):
http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-monitors/acer-x223w-lcd-monitor/4507-3174_7-32627876 .html
So, it appears I'll need a male Mini DisplayPort to a male DVI-D Dual adapter and/or cable. Do I need to specifically buy a DVI-D Dual cable? Will a simple cable function properly or do I also need an adapter? I'm pretty sure a DVI-I cable won't work because it would have extra pins that aren't present in the DVI-D.
Thanks again . . . the assistance is appreciated.

You are overthinking this.
"DVI dual link support" is concerned about the resolution of the display, not the number of displays.   A dual-link adapter or cable basically has double the number of wires to carry extra data to support higher resolutions than a single-link cable. Of course, both the computer and the external display must also support the higher resolutions in order to take advantage of the capabilities of dual-link.
You want to use two displays ... your iMac's buit-in display + your Acer display as a second monitor (what you called "dual monitors"). You can do this, as I explained earlier.
Your Acer monitor's maxiumum resolution of 1680 x 1050 is not high enough to require a dual-link connection.
"In single-link mode, the maximum pixel clock frequency is 165 MHz that supports a maximum resolution of 2.75 megapixels (including blanking interval) at 60 Hz refresh. For practical purposes, this allows a maximum 16:9 screen resolution of 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz (1915 × 1436 at a 4:3 ratio).
To support higher-resolution display devices, the DVI specification contains a provision for dual link. Dual-link DVI doubles the number of TMDS pairs, effectively doubling the video bandwidth. As a result, higher resolutions up to 2560 × 1600 are supported at 60 Hz [via dual-link DVI]."   (See Digital Visual Interface, Wikipedia)
You can connect almost any VGA, DVI or HDMI display to your iMac, using the appropriate cable and/or adapter. Of course, you always have to make sure that your cable has the correct gender plug on each end.   The Apple adapter I recommended has a female connector, so you will need a cable with a male DVI-D plug on one end. As for the other end of the cable, check the input on your Acer display to see what it has and select a cable that has an appropriate gender connector on the end that will plug into your Acer monitor.
In extended desktop mode, you can set separate (independent) resolutions for your iMac display and your external Acer display, taking advantage of the maximum resolution of each.   (For example, that's why the MacBookPro example you cited works, it's because that model MacBook Pro can support higher resolutions on an external display than it's built-in LCD panel can.)

Is there a Thunderbolt to Component Video cable / adapter for the new iMac?

Hello!
My church is looking to purchase a new iMac to run our presentation software.
We currently have a PC that has a graphics card which has a component-out cable. We connect that to a component video distribution amplifer to distribute to several HDTVs and a projector.
Is there a way to connect the iMac to a component video (Y, Pb, Pr or Red blue Green) input?
I understand that DVI is digital and Component is analog, but has anyone found a device, cable, and/or adapter that will do the job?
Thanks,
Randy

There's at least this one:

and the review says that it works with current Macs, but I can't verify.

New power adapter for old macbook - It doesn't work!

Hello!
My MacBook is 3 years old. My power adapter got broken at the end where you put it into the socket.
Now I bought a new power adapter. The adapters have changed now. The end where you put it into the computer looks now a little bit different. But they told me in the Apple Store that it will also fit my 3 years old Macbook.
At home it really fit my Macbook but it didn't charge. Nothing happened, no light. How can that be? Then I combined the two, the end for the socket of the new power adapter and the other part where you put it into the computer of my old power adapter. Now it charges. So is the problem after all the part where you put it into the computer of the new power adapter that looks different now?
Or what can I try now?
Thank you for help!
Sorry for my bad English.

What Power Adapter for 15" Aluminum PB?

I have a 15"PB (Apple M9422LL/A) with a power adapter that's gone squirrelly on me. (There's apparently a loose wire at the junction between the brick and the wire that goes to the computer.)
I'd like to get a compatible replacement, but the numbers on the brick are not recognizable as part numbers. Where can I get a replacement? (OEM not critical.)
There's one at Amazon that looks like it might work:
http://www.amazon.com/APPLE-ORIGINAL-POWER-ADAPTER-A1021/dp/B0013O936E/ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1252377696&sr=8-1
Will it?

Yes the adapter in the link you provided will work.
OWC is another option, great company great products. They guarantee it:

Save for Web & Devices window doesn't fit @ 1366 x 768

I'm using a MacBook Air running at 1366 x 768, or within Adobe CS5 requirement tolerances, but whenever I try to 'Save for Web & Devices', the dialogue box that pops up is much too big, vertically speaking, for my screen. Attempting to minimize/maximize doesn't rectify the problem--a substantial portion of the window, including the buttons necessary to execute the save action, are in the not-visible portion of the window. If I hit ENTER/RETURN, I can complete the process, but this is clearly a bug: I should be able to resize the window, or scroll within it.
Is there something else I can do, short of pursue a fix from Adobe? Some setting I've overlooked? I'm running Lion, but this problem started on a Snow Leopard install.

Wrong! Yes, you do have to hide the Dock if you want to share the Adobe Photoshop minimum required space with Apple's Dock, which in my opinion should be invisible when not needed, which in turn is for a split second every half hour or more. I'm sick and tired of Apple shoving ugly, intrusive OS features down our throats (see footnote * in next paragraph). I want the computer to do what I want, not what Apple wants.

Mr. Schewe explains it more forcefully in his last post above.
My experience over the years has shown me consistently that the more vocal or vehement the complaint, vent or rant, the greater the likelihood of PEBKAC (google that if you're not familiar with the term).

Arggggggg!!!! Bought a secong DVD for MPro and it doesn't fit??

I checked this forum quite a bit before ordering the Pioneer DVR-111D drive to fill the 2nd slot.
The outer door is clearly bigger than the Sony that came with the MPro.
I installed it anyway and almost couldn't get it out as the door seems to catch with the MPro sliding door.
Has anyone else done it sucessfully??
Does it matter which position its in?? (top or bottom)

Removing the faceplate works. Using Option and eject does fine.
Also, I had to set the jumper to "cable select". It came set as "Master".
Many thanks all...

USB adapter for old imac

I know this should be in the crt imac forum, but i need a response soon.
I'm looking for a wireless usb adapter for a crt imac. This mac has the capability to use an airport card, but none is installed.
Are there any usb adapters that are mac compatible? If not, is there anywhere i can find an old airport card (not airport extreme).

Hi John,
You want one of these:

It connects to the ethernet port. I have the 'B' version on an old 450DV+, and it works well.
