VESA pattern 27" iMac

I'm interested in purchasing the newest iMac that has the option of a built in VESA mount.  However, to purchase a VESA stand, I need to know the pattern that comes on the iMac.  I'm guessing 100mm x 100mm, but would like to know for sure.

Yes that is correct.

  • Weird screen pattern freezes iMac, can't boot from HD or DVD

    I woke up today to find the screen of my iMac black with a sparse pattern of bright pixels on it. I wasn't able to power down holding the Power buton so I unplugged it and left it for a bit before plugging back in. I was then able reboot without any problems. Then a few hours latter a weird pattern appeared across my screen, kind of rolling, animated in spots as seen here:
    I powered down, started it up and the screen had this pattern on it:
    It froze during startup at the point shown in the photo with the Apple logo. I powered down, unplugged, plugged back in and then tried booting up from my Snow Leopard install disc. It also froze on the logo screen. Another attempt brought up the "You need to restart your computer…" message in different languages shown here:
    I figured it was having a kernel panic so I did some searching around and followed instructions on The X Lab - Resolving Kernel Panics page and Apple's Kernel Panic Troubleshooting page. I unplugged everything but my mouse (wireless keyboard) and tried booting into Safe Mode. The screen still had the same pattern but it froze again during startup, the grey progress bar having disappeared.
    I can't boot from my hard drive or from a DVD and the pattern is always on screen when I turn the iMac back on. I can't run Apple Hardware Test. I'm stuck but I'm wondering if anyone knows what the cause might be or has any suggestions on how to fix it or even get it to boot up somehow.
    I have TechTool Pro and a large flash drive. I'm going to try creating a bootable USB drive with Snow Leopard on it from this backup computer and try to get TechTool Pro on it as well. I'll report back but I'd really appreciate any feedback on this problem.

    Some things to report. First, the night before any of this happened, I noticed the fan was running when there wasn't really any reason for it. The computer was idle, no major tasks running. I'm wondering if perhaps the videocard overheated and is causing problems. Perhaps the temperature sensors are screwed up?
    Today I got a USB keyboard hooked up and reset the PRAM. Still unable to boot but the pattern on the screen did change from the mess of b&w squigglies above to vertical bars as shown here:
    Trying to boot normally or in Safe Mode both result in the spinning wheel freezing and halting startup.
    I found powering down then gets weird. It's like it tries to turn on again but can't after a second. Or sometimes it will and the mouse lights up, I can hear the optical drive but the screen stays dark. At that point I need to unplug and try again.
    I tried booting from Snow Leopard install DVD during one of these weird cycles and could hear it trying to access the optical drive but I don't believe it even got to the chime stage.
    I attempted booting from the install DVD again after unplugging. No luck there but instead of a frozen spinning wheel, it brings up the "You need to restart message…". Other methods don't do this.
    Still at a loss to find a reason for this but it appears to be a hardware problem, no doubt the video card based on the screen issues. Does any of this shed any light on what the problem is or (even better) how to fix it?

  • 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.

  • Installing VESA mount on iMac: Stuck!

    I'm installing a VESA mount on my White, early Intel model iMac. I successfully removed the base, but when I was setting the metal base aside, the protruding metal piece to which you screw in the base (it has 8 holes) receded back into the iMac. I don't know how to get it back out. I have tried pressing on the release latch (the latch that frees the base to be removed in the first place), but attempting to push or pull the "screw receptacle", as I'll call it, doesn't do anything. It's stuck down inside of the machine and I can't get it out!
    Any ideas??

    Hello AR
    Hopefully you can fish the inner bracket back up and out the slot, because if not the iMac may have to be completely disassembled to recover it.

    A word of caution. The directions for this product are not very clear regarding the removal of thebase stand.
    The direction state you must tilt the screen all the way forward, use the provided card to depress the inner switch, and while the inner switch is depressed you are able to pull the base stand out of the imac/display. The base stand will still be connected to a spring load holder which is connected to the inside the iMac/display but will now be protruding out from the iMac/display. This spring loaded arm holder is what you will connect your vesa mount to after removing the stand that is connected to it.
    IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU MAKE SURE THE SPRING LOADED ARM HOLDER PROTRUDES OUT OF THE IMAC/DISPLAY AND LOCKS INTO THAT POSITION BEFORE REMOVING THE BASE STAND. YOU WILL KNOW THAT IT IS LOCKED WHEN YOU REMOVE THE CARD USED TO DEPRESS THE SWITCH AND THE BASE STAND CANNOT SWIVEL BACK AND FOURTH. IF YOU FAIL TO EXTERNALLY LOCK THE SPRING LOADED ARM HOLDER AFTER YOU UNSCREW THE BASE STAND FROM THE ARM HOLDER, THE ARM HOLDER WILL DEPRESS BACK INSIDE THE IMAC/DISPLAY AND IT IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO PULL BACK OUT. (IF THIS HAPPENS, YOU WILL HAVE TO BRING YOUR IMAC/DISPLAY TO THE NEAREST APPLE STORE AND HOPE THEY HAVE THE PROPER TOOL TO PULL THE INNER ARM HOLDER BACK OUT. THIS IS NO EASY TASK, EVEN FOR THE APPLE "GENIUSES."
    If you are successful and the inner spring loaded arm holder externally locks into place, installation is very simple.{quote}

  • Custom vesa mount late imac 2013 27"

    hi
    Let's say hypothetically
    1 I can open Imac behind it, i see this screw i take them out, so the stand is out
    2 i bought the vesa mount which works for previous version of Imac, i see the screw but the new imac screw is inside the back of the panel
    3 I hire somebody at the metal/aluminium shop to measure up the adapter that would fit into the screw and make the screw just like the old imac thus it will give new room for the vesa mount to fit in
    am I missing anything? Anybody out there expert to give me the inside behind the apple imac case panel
    thanks so much

  • Impressive iMac 24" Dark Spots

    Sorry to repeat. But I don't understand why what I posted yesterday disappeared.
    My story is long to write down. I hope any of you who got experience with dark spots/patterns on iMac screens can help me to look into the problem I appreciate your help.
    The associated pictures of this post can be found here in my google album:
    http://picasaweb.google.com/zhangchao/IMacDarkSpots?feat=directlink
    I purchased my iMac 24 inch in July 2008. After using it for 2 months, I noticed some dark patterns started to appear on the machine’s 24 inch screen. I should have taken it to Apple back then if I wasn’t using it all the time.
    These patterns become clearer if you set the background to white. A lot of iMac users have reported similar problems. Actually, if you google "iMac dark spot", you can find a lot of such posts. The patterns I got are very similar to what’s reported here in the very first picture here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1915086&tstart=15
    I contacted Apple two weeks ago when I finally got some time free. I was asked to go to the Apple Store here in Milwaukee’s Bayshore mall and left my machine there for 3 days for them to investigate. When I went to the store to pick up my Mac, I talked to the gentleman who did the repair and investigation work and a manager. They basically told me that I got the patterns because there was some weird “white substance” everywhere in my machine. The substance was circulated between the layers of glass cover and the LCD etc appearing to us as the dark spots. However, it’s easy to remove the stuff between the LCD and the glass cover but impossible to remove the stuff which got into the LCD.
    They strongly suspect the white substance came from where I placed my machine (my living room indeed). They don’t think the “white substance” is hair or fiber. It’s like pure dust and very subtle. Since they believe the cause of the problem is environmental, they will not fix it for me under my warranty.
    But I disagree and I think the white substance indeed comes from inside of the machine.
    Overall, I think my apartment is pretty clean. The machine is always placed on a wooden table which I clean every week. There aren’t a lot of things around my iMac so it gets good air circulation.
    My apartment is located in an apartment community. Hundreds of people live here. The community is not new (20+ years old) and is professionally maintained. I talked to the manager of the community and some of my neighbors, none of them have ever heard of anything similar.
    In my apartment, I have never been able to observe the "white substance" anywhere aside from the iMac. I did some investigation into the case, placing some blue tape under the hole of the back of the iMac where air comes out. After doing that for over one week, the only place that I can observe any "white substance" is on the piece of blue tape. The pictures in the album will make everything clear. This makes it really hard for me to believe the problem is environmental. In addition to that, if the "white substance" is so subtle and so weird (as if the only purpose of its very existence is to get iMac into trouble. Other computers and electronic devices in my apartment are completely fine), how can so many people got similar dark patterns on their screens?
    However, Apple doesn't take this as evidences that the problem is not environmental. Right now, I am gonna buy air purifiers and hire professional indoor air inspectors to help me to find where the trouble is.
    I read several posts re "iMac dark spots" problems. Some lucky guys simply got their screens replaced by Apple and others were just left with no help.None of them actually gives detailed explanation of the cause of their problems. I notice most of reported problems happen to iMac 24 inch machines shipped in early and mid 2008.
    If you have any insights, please let me know. I greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

    Since you purchased your iMac in July of 2008, you are right on the edge of your one year limited warranty.
    Go here https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do and see if you iMac is still within the one year limited warranty. You will need the serial number which is located... click the Apple Menu then click About This Mac. Where you see the Version number 10.5 click there twice. The serial number will be displayed there. If you can't see it there, open the System Profiler. (Applications/Utilities) Select Hardware on the left. The serial number is on the right.
    If it were me, I'd take the iMac back to that Apple store and *ask to speak to a manager*. Tell them you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your first visit and want your iMac repaired.
    Make sure and take in your original purchase receipt from when you purchased the iMac and any other pertinent paperwork.
    *"They basically told me that I got the patterns because there was some weird “white substance” everywhere in my machine."*
    I don't believe that.
    This problem started within 2 months of using your iMac. It would take the force of an F1 tornado to get that much dust inside the monitor that fast.
    If you still can't get that Apple store to repair your iMac, if you can, go to another Apple store OR find an Apple certified repair provider. Perhaps you know of a friend with a Mac that might be able to give you some recommendations for a place to take it. But make sure they are Apple certified.

  • Soportes para Imac

    Hola, que adaptadores se utilizan para colocar los soportes ergotron MX que se recomienda para las imac todo en uno que se venden en la pagina Ergotron Mexico el modelo o numero de parte es 45-214-026 Soporte de mesa MX, aqui lo tienen en existencia para venta en la republica mexicana pero se necesitan comprar los adaptadores VESA para poder usarlos.

  • 610 Quad questions

    I'm trying to design a solution to mount a 610 Quad on a full-motion articulating VESA arm.  So I need to know the following:
    What is the product weight of the TouchSmart 610 Quad?
    Is the VK554AA Adapter plate applicable to the 610 also, or just the 600?  What other adapter would I use instead?
    Which VESA pattern does the correct Adapter plate provide (i.e. 50x50, 75x75, 100x100, 200x200, other)?
    Is there a recommended full-motion articulating arm?
    Thanks

  • Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2008 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean?

    Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2007 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean? I've attached some screen shots below.
    Also experiencing some funky issues with my wireless keyboard. With new batteries, it will just stop functioning. Certain keys intermittently won't work. Also the fans go on as soon as I turn the computer on - some times they stay on and sometimes they don't. Ever since upgrading the operating system - I've been having many issues with this iMac. Not happy. Any answers out there?

    Thanks for your reply LexSchellings, There is no disc in the drive and I went through the suggestions you put forward on the phone with Apple support without any luck. I can put a disc in but it pops straight back out again without registering on finder.
    The idea of using an external drive was to enable me to avoid the cost and loss of productivity whilst machine in repair... if I have to take it in to get the old drive removed than I might as well have a new internal drive put in, although I do worry about the reliability of these apple drives given my experience with this one coupled with my limited online research ... on line forums seem to be full of people with the same problem (although perhaps searching such forums is bound to make it seem a common problem as users with perfectly working machines are less likely to post (?)) Your reply suggests that no external drive will work whilst the existing drive is in place.
    As a postscript: I do realise that this is a user forum ...my secondary question was asking if anyone knows how to put forward a case/complaint to Apple... I can't find a link on the support page that would enable me to do so and I was wondering if anyone on this user forum had any ideas/experience..

  • 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.

  • How does one mount a VESA mount on a iMac 27"

    How does one install a VESA mount on a 27" iMac and how long does it take to install it on the computer?

    den.thed,
    Thank you.  I have 22 of these to mount on articulated arms and I had no idea of how long it would take to remove the leg and put the bracket on.  Like almost everything Apple, they make it fairly simple.

  • 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.

  • 27" IMac VESA Question

    I'm Looking at the new 27" IMac's and trying to decide if I should get one with the VESA mount or one without.  Has anyone got the one with the VESA mount, and if so what arm are you using?  I'm also switching from Windows, what version of MS office works best 2011 or 2013? 

    Great and congruluations and welcome to the Light Side. Because y ou are new to OS X I'd recommend bookmarking and reading up on OS X and also how to migrate your data using Migration Assistant from your PC to the new iMac. You can do that by navigating to support.apple.com and choose Mac.
    I'd also STRONGLY recommend two things, go out and buy yourself a good quality external HD to use for a Time Machine backup. I'd recommend OWC (www.macsales.com) Mercury Elite Pro series. If you decide to get another brand DO NOT buy WD external HDs. Their drives are fine but the enclosures tend to have a lot of issues with Macs.
    The second thing I'd recommend is buying AppleCare, this wil extend the warranty from1 year to 3 and also provide telephone support for 3  years.You can buy it directly from Apple however I'd recommend getting it from a reseller such as B&H Camera or even Amazon. You can normally save about $50.
    Finally if you decide to add more RAM at some point OWC and Crucial are extremely reliable vendors.

  • Seeking a lightweight reclining stand(iMac vesa mount models)

    Hi, I purchased a 21.5 iMac with the Vesa mount adapter assuming it would not be that hard to find a suitable reclining/retractable stand instead of a wall mount that can easily allow the user to obviously adjust these iMacs into a 90' 60' 30' viewing stance easily transporting the device throughout their home or office. I do have an HP all-in-one which does have a reclining stand/wall mount already installed but adds so much weight to the computer because it is also a wall mount  are there any suggestions out there or is Apple possibly working on offering such an accessory since releasing these vest mount options over a year ago
