With a quick look at the I Mac specs, it appears that this will provide reasonable support for just the computer and monitor. It has a capacity of about 360 watts, (I Mac G5 = 180W) which should be adequate. The I Mac shows a frequency range of 47 to 63 Hertz, so the stepped wave form should not be too damaging. The UPS is an off line unit so "normal" operation does not use the inverter. That being said, there may be issues with the transition from utility to UPS power according to the ability of the I Mac to withstand a sub-second wave form disruption. This is a simple, inexpensive UPS. If you use the I Mac for serious use you may want an online, double conversion, sine wave unit, which is much more expensive. Home use is probably OK.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, the unit is Mac compatible, so long as you're running the modern versions of OS X (I think 10.6 or later). The Powerchute software provided does not have a Mac version, but you do not need that as Mac has built in ability to understand a UPS (there are just some features of the Powerchute software that are not available like muting an alarm and battery replacement advisor). That being said, the substantial functionality you want is available. Simply plug the device into your Mac via USB and configure the settings in the new tab that appears in System Preferences, Energy Saver, UPS section. NOTE: I had to contact support to obtain this information, as it is not readily apparent from other sources.
