Wall mount 20" iMac? No adapter?!

First, I've searched the forums and could not find an answer, so I apologize if this is a duplicate topic.
I bought a 20" iMac yesterday. After getting it out of the box, the stand makes it too tall to fit on my countertop under kitchen cabinets. If the stand weren't there and I had an alternative stand or wall-mount option it would be perfect.
Apple store chat revealed there is not an apple adapter for the 20" iMac.
I need help before I have to return my iMac.

I guess I should have added . . . I'm not so much concerned about finding an appropriate VESA compliant wall/desk mount. I've googled forty-eleven different ways for a VESA mount for 20" iMac and I've not found anything other than imacmount.com which doesn't solve the problem of the mount being too tall. Thanks for the suggestion.
I've thought about making something, but I would prefer that to be a last resort.

Wall mount new iMac

Hi
I was already to buy one of these and then I have read that it is not possible to wall mount the iMac. Is this true? Is there no way of wall mounting and is there ever likely to be?
If it is true that you can not wall mount it I wonder how many sales Apple are losing?
Thanks

Mike
Thanks. Tracked it down and ordered one yesterday. But they keep it well hidden. The only way to find it is using Google, which is ironic! In case anybody else from the UK reads this post the link is

Wall mount for IMAC

Hej
i was going to by a imac ,and hang it on the wall but???
the imac G5 vesa wall mount dose not fit ,the new Imac
what can i do??
is it possible to by any wall thing!!??
thanks Søren

Sorry, but unlike the first two iMac G5 versions, the preceeding models (iSight, Intel CD) are not VESA compliant and the stand cannot be removed in order to accommodate a wall mount or an articulating arm.
In my opinion, this is something that Apple should have kept throughout all its iMac models. Such a shame to have that all in one setup and not be able to mount it on a wall---where it would be perfect.
So now I have an iMac G5 (ALS) mounted on the wall and an intel CD that has to remain on its stand. Too bad, they would have looked awesome up on the wall together!

Cinema VESA wall mount and original iMac G5?

This has probably been asked before, but does the Cinema VESA wall mount like this one:
http://www.macconnection.com/ProductDetail?Sku=5202648
Work with the iMac G5 1.8 Ghz original model? Or is only the original wall mount that came out when that iMac came out able to work with it?

I was hoping to find something on this forum about locating the VESA adapter kit for the G5 iMac and your thread is all there is . Every on-line retailer that shows them in stock actually have none (I called 5 different ones...Why can't they update websites?!?!)
Did you have any luck finding one. I am moving into a smaller studio and I desperately need to mount my 17-inch iMac. I can't find anyone anywhere! I even called the Apple store number listed on the website and the guy on the phone acted like he had no clue how to even search to see if Apple had any and his response was, "AppleCare would probably be able to help you out more than I could.." Sure enough I got transfered to a dead-end and after 20 minutes I hung up the phone!
What happen to all of the VESA mounts they had. I swear like 3 months ago they were selling them in the on-line store! What does Apple do with all of them? Trash them?
Anyways, please let me know if you were successful. So far I am getting no where

How to wall mount imac 20 inch intel? Any body has tried

How to wall mount imac 20 inch intel? Any body has tried

The iMac 20" doesn't have a VESA-type mounting bracket on the back (the 24" one does). If you're brave and have the white plastic model, you can try [adapting an old iMac G5 mount kit|http://www.wikiela.com/wiki/Howto_wall_mount_a_Core_2_Duo_Intel_iMac_20_or17].
For other models, you can use the VESA adapter from [www.imacmount.com]. These are adapters that clamp a VESA-style mount bracket to the aluminum pedestal stand for the iMac. You can then attach the iMac (pedestal and all) to any VESA-compatible mount. Here's a picture of an 20" white iMac fastened to a wall using this method (same works for newer aluminum iMacs and the white 17" ones too):

Is there a wall mount retro fit for iMac deskto

I have a 4 year old iMac desktop. Can a wall mount be retro fit?

If your iMac is one of these models, there is an adaptor kit available from the online Apple Store:
VESA Mount Adapter Kit for iMac
Here is the video showing how its installed:

Is there a wall mount for the late 2012 iMac 27"?

Is there a wall mount for the late 2012 iMac 27"?

There are wall mounts available but they are tricky to fit and need to be sturdy to take the weight of a 27" iMac.
It is a two stage process... you need a VESA Mount Adapter Kit for the iMac and then a suitable wall mount.
Google will help you out.

Intel imac wall-mount cable question

I plan on buying a new intel aluminum imac (24") within the next few months. I already have the iLift (aluminum) wall-mounted monitor arm with the necessary apple adapter. Here's my question: I would like to minimize the number of cables coming out of the back of the imac as well as the amount of clutter on my desk. Is there a solution that would let me run one firewire cable about 5 feet to an external firewire harddrive and a usb hub?? My goal is to be able to attach other devices to the hub instead of the ports behind the screen. ideally a mac mini look-alike external hd with a matching hub to sit underneath it. Thanks.

iOgear makes a Firewire + USB combo hub but it still requires that you run two cables one for FW and one USB. http://www.iogear.com/product/GUH420/
Then there are some new wireless USB hubs you can take a look at:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,138190/article.html
This is a nice looking Belkin combo hub but the only thing I do not like is that it's not powered. http://eshop.macsales.com/item/BELKIN/F5U507/
Probably the best one I've seen is this one because it fits your description: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/MSFWU20GBSW/
However the only thing about all of these are they don't have Firewire 800 which would be faster for an external hard drive.

Intel 24" iMAC wall mount

Hey all I hope this isn't a topic that has been pounded on a lot (my forum search didn't turn much up), but I am trying to find a wall mount for my iMAC and thought this would be the best place to ask.
Thanks,
-Stephen

The 24" iMacs can use any standard VESA mount (used for computer monitors and TVs). You can find them at various computer and office supply stores. There's a very wide range of models available. I don't have a particular preference.

What wall mount for 24"iMac?

Anyone mount their 24" iMac to the wall? What wall mount did you use? I'm looking at the Ergotron 400 series due to the weight of the iMac. I really like the Ergotron LX series but it does not have the capacity to hold the 24" iMac. What are you using to mount it to the wall? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I do need a mount that both retracts and lifts/lowers. Thanks!

Hi
I have wall mounted my 24" iMac using the apple amount and a fixed bracket from an LCD retailer, but my 20" cinema display is on a desktop gas arm bracket which connects to the edge of my desk. I got this from PC World.
I didn't want my iMac on an arm due to the moving components in the machine.
Hope this helps?

An elegant wall mount for an elegant iMac 21.5

I am buying an iMac 21.5 and I need to mount it on a wall. There are a lot of solutions on the market for the iMac 27 but not for the 21.5. I am looking for a wall mount arm that allow me to pull (horizontally) the screen from the wall (24" or more), to move it up and down, right and left. Do you have any suggestions?

Thankyou
But, here

it doesn't make differences between models.. It seems that ANY iMac with thunderbolt can serve as a target monitor to any computer with thunderbolt...

IMac Wall Mount?

Does anyone know what, if any, options are available for wall-mounting the new iMac (Intel Dual Core)? I recall the old G5 iMac had such a wall-mounting option, but in checking various reviews in the Apple Store, I noticed a few comments suggesting that such options might have recently been phased out. Whatayathink? Thanks.

This has been discussed previously, and the answer is no.
The problem is the foot, as it is not removable - at least not without a lot of work & violating your warranty. And even then you are left with the problem of attaching the mount to the back of the iMac.
There are some wall/desk mounts that has a tray for the monitor to sit on - we have them at work. Some have brackets to secure the base of the monitor to the stand.
One other wild suggestion is to literally cut off the foot & devise a bracket to attach the left over portion of the foot to the mount. This also may void your warranty. This is one option I have been kicking around since I got my Intel iMac.

Are there any wall mount brackets for the new iMac 27" 5k?

I have a wall mount (Bretford) for my Cinema HD Display that I have been using since 2008. I just purchased the new iMac 27inch 5k computer. It would be great to be able to use this computer with the wall mount. The ones that are available (VESA) from the apple store and say they will work with some older iMacs. My question is are there any available for the iMac I purchased? Thanks.

Hi. The VESA mounts for the iMacs are not "changeable": either you buy an iMac with a pedestal, either you buy one with a VESA mount, but you cannot switch, because the VESA mount is the first thing built in the iMac. You would need to sell your 5K iMac and buy a VESA 5K iMac.
