I'm trying to connect my 2 iMacs (both 2009). Will this cable work? Will it also transfer audio?

Please do what Omwave & NeilMike suggested and connect the two iMacs with an ethernet cable. Ignore my advice from yesterday about using a TB cable. There is a good step-by-step guide on the apple website on using Migration Assistant to transfer data between two macs - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5872

Thunderbolt came out only in 2011. Those iMacs don't carry that port. In a few words... That cable will never work in those mac's unless you buy a firewire-thunderbolt converter adapter. Good Luck!!

I have a new (this year) iMac and it does support thunderbolt cable, but 2009's do not. An ethernet cable will connect any mac to another mac.

As 2009s, they may not be Thunderbolt compatible. Check first or you will waste your money. Ethernet should work without risk.

Technically it should but that depends on wether or not your iMac puts audio out threw its display port

Seeing as how the iMac has a USB port(technically a USB 3 port, but it is backwards-compatible with USB 2, which is what this cam has), this cam will work with it.

No reason that it shouldn't work. Any Mac that has a USB port and is running a vaguely recent OS X (at least 10.5, not tested on older) is compatible.

It's USb only. It says to use double connectors, but I use it with only a single connector with my iMac; and it works fine. Using the double connector might make it a little faster, but this is fine for me.

Most likely, mine is plug into a 2012 IMac and it works great. I moved a 23 mb file upload and download and It was instant.

I haven't tried it with an iMac but it certainly ought to work. I use it with my laptop.

I only use Mac's for working on Audio. Check M-audio website, to see if it's compatible.

According to both the online documentation and the documents that came with the drive, the answer is yes. I can also offer my own experience as I've been using these drives with both my older iMac w/USB 2.0 interface and my new iMac w/USB 3.0 interface and both work as expected. USB 2.0 speeds are MUCH slower than USB 3.0 speeds, so expect that your throughput will be lower than the max throughput indicated on the docs; plugged into a USB 2.0 slot, the drive will operate at USB 2.0 speeds.I hope that helps! Let me know if you have other questions.

I don't know whether this item is compatible with your computer, but I'd say as long as your computer uses ESATA it should work. I had no issues installing it in my 2009 iMac and it works great. My system screams again.

Works great with a couple of iMacs with 10.9.4 (current as of this answer).

Sorry Barbara. I can only tell you that it works great with my laptop & Windows operating system. Perhaps someone else can help with iMac information.

Given that HDMI is an industry standard, and IF the MAC has an output option for audio and video via HDMI, then yes, it should work perfectly. There is no reason that is should not work; the audio and video components will be separated, with the audio going out via the stereo RCA connectors (red and white), and the video continuing on through the subsequent HDMI cable. You need two HDMI cables.

I have an iMAC and it works great (had it about 2 months). Very fast, easy to install. I don't know if there is a difference between the two computers. I'm connected via thunderbolt

Hello, I use it on a mac pro, but when I install the hard drive from my old imac worked fine, the connectors are the same.

I believe there has been a software update that allows this drive to work with older iMacs too. I have this drive for the Macbook Air. When I bought it in mid 2011 it was made very clear by Apple that it only works with the certain Apple products such as the MBA. When the Superdrive in my early 2010 iMac 27" died, I plugged the USB Superdrive in just to see what happens. It works perfectly as a Superdrive for my iMac.

This will work, as long as you have an audio out jack for headphones or computer speakers. All PCs and My new iMAC have all had this audio out jack. I use my iPad and iPhone with this cable to my PA system all the time. I have never used a PC only because they are too big and difficult to move around to my PA system.
