Does this cable connect to my IMac and use to transfer data, files and such?

I use a PC, but it does support data transfer as well as charging. I have had the cable only a short time, but it is working just fine.

I have a PC but no the cord stopped working altogether after only a few months of use. Originally yes it did connect to my computer but I tried it on all the ports on my PC and both directions into my phone.

It works perfectly well connected via USB cable. I've connected it to both my IMac and my Windows laptop.

yes. you just plug into an available USB port and now you have an ethernet port ! my ethernet ports were damaged by lightening so I use this adapter now and it works fine on both iMac and MacBook Pro.

Not sure. I couldn't get it to transfer Mac to Mac. Didn't work for me at all.

I have USB 3.0 on my iMac, so I don't know if the drive will work with your computer.

I have been using this cable for over a year in my iMac for a 2nd SSD. Connection speed is 6 Gb/s. Any SATA cable should support a 6 Gb/s transfer speed.

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.

Why do you need to connect your two Macs together? If it's to transfer files, you should connect them to the same network or use a USB flash drive. Technically you could connect the 400 port on the old Mac to the 800 port on the new Mac with this cable, but I don't think the two computers would recognize each other.

I am using it with my four or five year old MacBook Pro, no problem. Even though I haven't tried it with iMac, I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work with it. The USB connection will fit just fine.

Well you probably should not have chosen this drive. It's not trivial to connect it to a Mac. This drive is primarily designed as an internal PC drive. Depending on the ports available on your Macbook, the best way to connect this drive is to get a drive enclosure that holds a SATA drive and has an external connector for firewire or USB. I think a newer Macbook has only thunderbolt and USB.

yes, i transferred data from an iMac to a macbook, but it works the same. You will just have to make the computer you are transferring TO like a disk (I forget how, but I got a good tutorial on a forum with one quick google search -- you just start the computer in a certain mode with a disk utility or something). best to you!

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 it does not, this will only accomplish Mini DisplayPort tasks. This will not transfer data via thunderbolt or work with anything that requires thunderbolt and is not compatible with Mini DisplayPort. While I generally do not buy Apple cables, as they are usually overpriced with alternatives available that work just as well at a fraction of the cost- a 6ft/2m Thunderbolt cable does not seem to be made any cheaper from a, reliable third party competitor, Kanex and Monoprice does not currently seem to manufacture Thunderbolt cables. http://www.amazon.com/Kanex-TBOLT2M-2-Meter-Thunderbolt-Cable/dp/B00865YE4O/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1396475999&sr=8-5&keywords=thunderbolt+cable So I would suggest in this particular scenario simply purchasing Apple's version http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MD861ZM-Thunderbolt-Cable-VERSION/dp/B00B3Y4FAS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396475999&sr=8-1&keywords=thunderbolt+cable or if the length doesn't matter, the .5M cable (which is actually cheaper if you buy from Apple vs. Kanex.) http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MD862ZM-Thunderbolt-Cable-VERSION/dp/B00B3Y4U4E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1396475999&sr=8-2&keywords=thunderbolt+cable

The drive has a specific cable connection to the MacBook. It will not fit a PATA/IDE connector. I don't know the connections on the iMac, but I doubt it would connect.

In general yes if it has SATA connectors irregardless of SATA3 or SATA2, set to ACHI in BIOS for maximum transfer speed. Install Magician software downloaded from Samsung to tweak settings. Works with 2006 iMacs and beyond

Unfortunately no. This cable was fantastic pre-OS X 10.6. Doesn't work with Lion and above.

You could and it would work fine. I think that the drive would probably preform better hooked directly up to your iMac
