Questions & Answers for VESA Mount Adapter Kit for iMac and LED Cinema or Apple Thunderbolt Display

No adjustment is possible to this product. It is simply a bracket that replaces the foot of the iMac and ALLOWS it to be attached to a mount. The adjustments you're talking about (pivot, tilt, extend) would be a feature of whatever mount you buy.

The 5K iMac can not have a VESA mount fitted to it, you have to buy the iMac with it pre-fitted (in which case you do not get the iMac "foot" stand, and can not fit one of those later)

I've got two monitors, both mounted to swing arms with VESA mount kits from Apple. One is the 20" Apple Cinema Display, purchased in May of 2005.

No. This product is simply a bracket that replaces the display foot and allows it to be attached to a wall mount, which is not included. Tilting and pivoting would be a feature of the mount.

No. It does not fit the older (2007/2008) 23" or 30" Cinema HD Displays.

I have one of each and moved from the residence at which I originally purchased the displays. I had a desk specially designed for wall mounted displays. We moved in, I unpacked my MacPro and Displays, and realized the adaptor only fits the newer ... displays.

Several 3rd party vendors list the needed part (M9649 G/A) on their sites, but all seem to be discontinued.

I am desperately seeking the part since I would have to rebuild my new office to use the desk stands! Ahhh, c'est la vie!

Yes it will, we are probably one of the only very few people who still have one of these (amazing!) Machines. I love my white iMac it works perfectly. You just have to google for the guide to install it. It requires an Apple Access Card (you can make one yourself too! Just google it)

First of all, this product is not a VESA mount itself. It is an adapter that allows you to USE a standard VESA mount. Also it works only with the listed Apple displays by replacing the mounting arm.

Since the RAM mount will securely clamp the iPad to the wheelchair, IMO it seems like the Otter Box may be overkill. Perhaps you could just take the iPad out of the Otter Box? (According to the RAM site, the arm won't accept ANY case on the iPad.)

Good luck!

The plate adds less than one inch of depth (about .75") to the total depth of the computer. That's for the mounting plate ONLY; you would need to add the depth of your mount. The front of my iMac is exactly 7" from the wall (that's about 3" of computer and plate, and 4" of mount).
