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

Cant wait to get my hands on my first Apple computer apart from the iPad!
Thanks agian for all you help.

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!

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.

Is there a way to wall-mount an iMac?

Subject line says it all...

Read this thread;
Topic: why no VESA mount!
Especially the post from Tostada!

Is it possible to hang/mount the new IMAC on the wall???

Just curious...just go one for my fiancee' and was wondering if it was possible to mount it to the wall to save a little space??? thanks Mike

No. Unlike the first two iMac G5 versions, the new iMac Intel CD---like the G5 iSight version it follows--- cannot have its stand removed from the back and is not VESA compliant.
Too bad, if you ask me, because the iMac would have been perfect if you could wall-mount it...

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.

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):

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.

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.

As a stockholder, I would like see the development of iTV with Retina display and integrating Siri control, internet access, and iTunes apps. This new product would be a large screen, thin wall mounted television, much like a oversided iPad.

Do you think this product is possible?

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

Mounting secondary drive from old G4 via Firewire to new iMac?

I just got my new iMac up and running (god is it gorgeous). The 'transfer files' thing in the initial install pulled all the programs and user settings from my old G4's primary drive perfectly, but the G4 has a second IDE drive in it where I kept much of the data. When I boot the G4 with the "T" held down, only the primary drive shows up on the iMac... how do I get the iMac to recognize and pull data from the other drive in the old tower?

Hi-
When I boot the G4 with the "T" held down, only the primary drive shows up on the iMac... how do I get the iMac to recognize and pull data from the other drive in the old tower?
This is a limit of firewire target mode, only the master drive will show.
If the secondary drive is bootable, connected to the master connector (end connector, not middle), and jumpered as master, you will be able to mount the drive in FTD mode.
Alternatively, copy the files from the secondary drive to the primary drive, and transfer from there.

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.

Mounting the new imac (late 2012)?

I need to mount the new Imac (prob the 27 inch) on an arm. I found one reference that said there wasn't going to be a vesa mount. Does anyone know if it will be possible to mount this thing? I cannot use the stand.. it has to go on an arm for me.
Help!!

I was ready to buy the new iMac 27 inch and found out there isn't a way to remove the stand and use a monitor arm! So I am not buying the new iMac.
Just FYI.

New iMac 27" and cannot get it to mount a new LaCie thunderbolt drive. Any suggestions?

My new iMac 27" finally arrived and seemed to be working fine,until today when I received, from Apple Store, a LaCie d2, 3TB drive. Connected the Thunderbolt cables and powered it up. Rapidly flashing blue light on the drive but it does not mount on the desktop and does not show in the system report. Could be a bad drive or.........
All help appreciated.

Can you see the drive in the System Report or Disk Utility?
One thing I read was that you need to do is to shut down, and unplug everything, your iMac, the Thunderbolt drive, everything. Then reconnect, and start up the iMac. Seems to cure everything.
If not, return the drive to the Apple store, and see if that fixes it. If that doesn't fix it, then return the iMac within the 14 day no questions asked return period and get a new one. You'll have to move fast.
