Hello Selyfer,
Unfortunately, unless it is configured as such at the time of purchase, a VESA mount cannot be used on your iMac.

Allen a is absolutely correct, unfortunately the 2012 & 2013 iMacs cannot be retrofitted with a VESA mount due to the design of how the stand is attached to the internals of the machine. Sorry for the bad news, you can pre-order a newiMac with a VESA mount but retrofitting is impossible.
So no one ever made an adaptor, or some kind of arm compatible with this series of mac? 😮
My main problem is a damage to the staff, do you know if i can replace it with a new one?
Please read my post, your ONLY option is to replace the machine with a new machine pre-ordered with a VESA mount. The issue is the existing stand cannot be removed, because of this a VESA mount cannot be installed.
I have to buy a new machine or i can change the old one?
You have to buy a new machine from Apple's online store, you will find the VESA mount option there. If you have trouble finding it give the on-line store a call (number is in the upper right) and the agent can help direct you.
