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.

  • 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.

  • 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:
    http://www.amazon.com/DisplayPort-Composite-Video-S-Video-Converter/dp/B004VV8R8 6
    and the review says that it works with current Macs, but I can't verify.
    Regards.

  • No Firewire Adapter Included in new iMAC

    OK, am I too picky? I just received my new iMAC and realized that the firewire 400 port on my old G4 is not compatable with the firewire 800 on my new iMAC. I have seen other discussions about how easy it is to buy adapters. I live in the San Francisco bay area, and have been to three radio shacks, two Best Buys and none had this item or were out. I have spent over three hours driving from store to store. The ultimate frustration is that I visited our local Apple store and they don't stock this item!! Apple must realize that many, if not most, people bought a new iMAC to replace their old apple computers and thus an firewire adapter would be necessary. Would it have been too much to have expected Apple to have included this item which for them could not cost more than a few dollars? I waited several weeks for the computer, wasted gas, time and money searching for a very simple and inexpensive item that apple should have included, so I guess waiting a week more to order it is not that bad. Sorry to vent, but this is very poor thinking and quite rude to Apple's customers.

    The item is readily available online. Here's one at long-time Apple-friendly OWC. Actually, one is an adapter, one is a cable. Either one would work. I'd go with the cable to eliminate one connection point.

    Give your business to the businesses that provide what you need and support the Mac platform. Radio Shack, Best Buy, please... Don't buy at those places when you can get it more easily and for less money at a store that caters to Mac users.
    The Apple Store does carry it (though expensive compared to OWC).

  • Having difficulty migrating info from MacBook Pro to new iMac

    I have been trying to migrate my information from my MacBook Pro (10.9.1) to my new iMac (10.9.1).  I've connected the two via ethernet.  They are recognizing each other, but then one or the other seems to shut off and requires me to enter my password and it stalls the whole process.  I've attempted this migration at least 5 times now (or more) and the same thing keeps happening.  Any suggestions?

    I just got a new iMac on January 2nd, and moved 320GB worth of data from my external Time Machine backup drive (a Firewire drive connected to the new iMac via the Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter) to the new iMac in about 3 hours or so.  This was all done via Setup Assistant, not Migration Assistant (which can be run later on for those in a hurry to use their new Mac).
    It almost sounds to me as if you're transferring everything via WiFi.

  • New iMac 2012 & Mini DisplayPort to DVI-Adapter

    Will this adapter work with the new iMac 2012 (27-inch)?
    (I´m not sure because there are only thunderbolt ports on the picture and no Mini DisplayPort)
    Thank you!
    bye

    Hello,
    A notable peculiarity of Thunderbolt is that it uses exactly the same connector as Mini Display Port, and that's not all. The Thunderbolt connector also carries Mini Display Port video signals. That means you can plug a Mini Display Port video cable/adapter in to a Thunderbolt connector and your monitor will work.
    If you plan to do other things with your Thunderbolt connector and don't want it wasted on a monitor, you can also choose an HDMI --> DVI adapter, which for your purposes will be functionally equivalent.
    You can even use both at the same time.

  • New iMAC to Dell 3008 using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter

    I just brought the new iMAC 27" iCore7. Previously I was using old MBP with dual link DVI to DELL 3008 and they did fine.
    But Today I connect the Dell 3008 to my new iMAC using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter...They could not work properly...
    The dell shows images in red with flickers....
    I've contacted the phone for help...and they said nothing could be done????!!!!!
    Anyone could help??
    THX

    just update my progress...
    I had made calls to Apple technical support center in HONG KONG for help...
    To my surprise...they even did not understand what I was saying(Or just pretending...)....One interesting guy said I could take the new iMAC back to service center to change the 4850 display card to older version...or call DELL for help!!!!!

    I was almost hopeless until I found a minidisplay port to display port cable in Circuit Assembly:
    http://estore.circuitassembly.com/products/Mini-Displayport-to-Displayport-Adapt er-Cable.html
    ONLY $14.95 !!
    They sent the cable to me in 3 days time...and I hooked it up right away when I received it today...my Dell 3008 could display 2560 x 1600 normally again!!!!!
    The problem is: Apple is still selling its FUNCTIONLESS Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter at high costing....sounds like cheating others....
    What' s wrong with the Apple nowadays???

  • New imac to tv help:  mDVI to DVI cable, DVI to component video adapter?

    I am getting my new imac tomorrow, very excited. I would love to be able to hook it up to my HD tv which has component video inputs.
    It has two by the way, one says component video, one says component video HD. (that's the one my xbox is hooked up to.)
    I think I'm getting like 1020p or something like that?
    am aware of the lack of sound, but will have the imac hooked up to speakers so no worries on that.
    will this chain work? mDVI-DVI cable, DVI to component video adapter? then what? component video cable to tv?
    so I will need to buy two adapters and one cable right? Also, the cable is gonna need to be about 30ft long so will I be able to daisy chain cables?
    PS, what kind of resolution will I be getting with the standard (none component HD) inputs?
    thanks for the help. The info on the mac sight about adapters in not very specific to this hodge podge.

  • I am using IMovie 11 with a new iMac.  Unable to import video from a Panasonic PV-GS400 mini-DV camcorder using a Firewire IEEE 1394 400 cable connected to a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter which is then connected to a Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 adapter.

    How can I get iMovie to recognize my Panasonic PV-GS400 as a device so I can import video to my iMac?  I have a FireWire IEEE 1394 400 cable connected to the camcorder.  Since my new iMac has only Thunderbolt ports, I purchased a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter to connect to the cable.  I also purchased a FireWire 800 to Thunderbolt adapter to connect to the computer.  My camcarder is still not recognized.

    I would suggest that you try a 9 pin to 4 pin Firewire Cable along with the Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter.
    Those Firewire 400 to 800 adapters do not seem to work well with iMovie.
    The 9 pin to 4 pin cables are available at reasonable prices here, for example.

    Then it sounds like the FW800 to 400 adapter just gets in the way. You don't have FW800 case? on my MDD G4 I added and used FW800 controller and cases from OWC and Sonnet.

  • Have a canon dc310 camcorder that uses mini dvd's. How can I get my new Imac to read these dvd's?Camcorder unable to connect to computer. Will a mini dvd adapter work or do I need to purchase an external dvd rom device? Which device works well with a mac?

    I have a Canon DC310 camcorder that uses mini dvd's and doesn't have the ability to connect to a computer.  How can I get my new Imac to read these dvd's?  Will the mini dvd adapter work or do I need to purchase an external dvd rom device?  Which device works well with the Mac?  Do I need anything else to get the dvd material onto my mac?  Thanks!!

    No DV port in camcorder.  Just a yellow AV port/hole.  I did find a Canopus ADVC110 device in a box that was bought several years ago to convert VHS tapes onto DVD's.  Can I use this with a Mac?  Could I connect a dvd player to the Canopus and transfer the disks onto my Mac?  Or, connect the camcorder via AV port to the Canopus and that to the Mac and transfer that way?  Thanks again!

  • Is the new iMac VESA mountable?

    Can you remove the stand from the new iMacs and mount them on a wall with a VESA mounting bracket?
    Thanks,
    Kelly

    As long as Apple has not changed the new 20" aluminum iMac's, the VESA mount for the G5 iMac is usable for the 20" Intel-based iMacs, because the stand is the same. The issue is that it isn't very user installable because it requires complete disassembly of the iMac to get to the inside of the casing to install the mount. This is a warranty killer. However, a guy who works in a computer lab has completed the process on about 15 to 20 iMacs back in 2006 when the Core Duos were first introduced.
    You can do a search for the threads in this forum using VESA as the search word, All as the range and limiting the search to username Tostada.

  • Re-attaching the stand after having used the Vesa adapter

    We have been using the VESA adapter for a year. In the instructions one uses a plastic card to release a mechanism allowing the screen to tilt forward far enough that the screews are revealed. The mechanism is stuck in this position and you can mount the vesa adapter easily.
    We tired of having the mac on the wall and would like to reattach the original stand. No sweat, but it is stuck in the forward tilted position and pretty much unusable. Any ideas??

    There is another thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8360295
    Basically it sounds like you need to keep trying with the card and you'll get lucky. I'll be needing to do this myself when my new iMac arrives. I'll try to remember to post back about it, but that could be more than a week from now.

  • Why don't new imac display driver support rotate into portrait mode

    why don't new 24 in imacs support display rotate into portrait mode? they have ati radeon HD 2600 chipset!

    OK - I figured it out. Apple's 10.4 display driver does not externalize the rotate parameter for the new IMAC alum 24inch display - even though the ATI video card supports rotation.
    However, the SwitchResX utility (search on google) will switch the display into rotate modes 90/180/270. I tried it and it works in 90 degree rotate.
    Once you install SwitchResX, you have to do 2 steps. First, open the SwitchResX control panel and under its Menus tab, further enable its taskbar widget to allow "Display Orientation" settings. Second, then use SwitchresX taskbar widget (now displaying a new "Rotation" parameter setting for Standard - 90 - 180 - 270.
    In addition (obviously ... for safety reasons) you will probably want to attach the device to a VESA standard display mount that allows safe physical rotation of the IMAC. Apple sells for $29 the VESA Mount Adapter Kit for 24-inch iMac. This will allow attachment of the IMAC to a VESA mount. (I am now researching VESA mounts).
    Cheers!

  • Connecting a serial wacom tablet to the new iMac

    Hello,
    At home I have an old PC (please don't laugh, I use a Mac at work) and I hope to change this to the new iMac very soon. I have a A4 wacom tablet connected to the PC via the serial port. Is it possible to get an adapter (serial to USB) that will work on the iMac so that I can use the tablet and not have to shell out another X anount of money for a new one??
    Thanks in advance.
