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

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!

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).

This will depend on your wall mount, but mine is just a hair under 7" when retracted as close to the wall as possible. The depth of the iMac + the mounting plate only is about 3.5", so add to that the depth of your selected wall mount for a total depth.

This item is not currently available in Apple Retail Stores (since the current iMacs don't work with them), but you can order one online and have it shipped to the store for free with Personal Pickup.

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!

No, this product cannot be used with a 20" iMac. The internal frame and foot are not designed to be removeable, so this will not attach correctly to the unit.

The later model iMac does not have a removal stand as the older ones do. They require a NON-VESA mounting bracket that attaches to the original stand.

I am typing this answer on a 27" iMac (Mid 2011) which is mounted using this VESA mount adapter kit, so the answer is a definite yes :-)
