What is it's depth?

AnswerThe 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).

Can I use this on a 27" iMac with 5K retina display or do I have to buy the one already set up?
Can I use this on a 27" iMac with 5K retina display or do I have to buy the one already set up? I really want to get one with the stand with option to add wall-mount it later.

Best Answer: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)

WHAT IS THE DEPTH OF A MOUNTED IMAC SCREEN? SPECIFICALLY, A 27' (ON STAND IS 8.15", I'M WONDERING WHAT THE DEPTH IS MOUNTED). THANKS

Best Answer: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.

- Flag as inappropriate (Can I use this adapter for original (white) iMac 24 late 2006?)
AnswerYes 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)

Can you use a VESA mount for an I-pad on a wheelchair?
The client has an otter box cover on an i-pad which is too thick to fit in a Ram-mount which we got last week. Maybe we can adapt it if we can fit into a VESA mount..
Many thanks, Marian Foley.- Asked by Marian F

- Flag as inappropriate (Can you use a VESA mount for an I-pad on a wheelchair?)
Best Answer: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!- Answered by Eric O from Rockford

How is this able to be adjusted once installed?
I need to install my iMac above a roll top desk, but then be able to pull it forward and down to use it, before moving back so the desk can be closed up.
- Asked by Monty L from Crowley
- 05-Oct-2014
- Flag as inappropriate (How is this able to be adjusted once installed?)
AnswerNo 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.

Can I get any kind of mount for the 5K display, other than the one that comes with it? I need to mount it to a Bretford Mobile Pro Combo.

- Flag as inappropriate (Can I get any kind of mount for the 5K display, other than the one that comes with it? I need to mount it to a Bretford Mobile Pro Combo.)
AnswerYou have to order the VESA version from Apple. If you search on the store you can find that. Unfortunately the newer models no longer have a user-removable stand that you can replace with a VESA mount. You'd have to look at an after market stand that could latch onto the foot of the 5K display. Sadness.

Can this VESA mount adaptor be used for a 20" iMac?
- Asked by Margaret F
- 19-Jan-2012
- Flag as inappropriate (Can this VESA mount adaptor be used for a 20" iMac?)
AnswerNo, 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.

Best Answer:
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.

Will it fit 2014 desktop 5k Imac?
- Asked by Dan R V from Clackamas
- 20-Oct-2014
- Flag as inappropriate (Will it fit 2014 desktop 5k Imac?)
AnswerNo because the stand is not removable on the newer iMac. Call the Apple store to confirm this.
I had to purchase a non-vesa mounting bracket that bolts onto the original stand in the back and then you mount your new arm to it.- Answered by Vincent N from N. Bellmore
