I'd confirm this by going to the Crucial website and looking up the product. Their website offers to check for compatible RAM. Your screenshot shows compatible with laptops - it does not mention iMacs.


You need to buy RAM specifically made for Macs. Here is the crucial website with Mac compatible RAM:
