Would appear from detailed viewing of iMac models circa 2006, none of them could be used
to run an OS X version as new as Mountain Lion 10.8.5. Most can't run Lion 10.7.5. So the
answer would be to find a newer model computer that can run Mountain Lion, or newer...
Depending on what kind of files the GoPro generates, the ability to edit, alter, and use them
will vary. Certain editing software exists, but the details of what is still available for older OS X

Some reputable sellers offer restored or repaired older vintage Macs. For newer ones
that can run later Mac OS software, the Apple Store has their refurbished pages. These
are fairly current. Older ones no longer under any AppleCare plan, can be found at
shops that repair them for a living; or used. Be careful when buying used products, read
to see if there were issues, damages, and be sure to get the accessories & system discs
if the model is old enough to have DVDs included. Oh, be sure if you get a used Mac that
is newer, did not ship with install DVDs, the original owner has not tied it to their AppleID.
A promised upgrade in a used Mac, to Yosemite, does you no good if the computer is
tied to a former owner, and their password and their Apple ID accounts.

In any event... to use that peripheral will require a newer computer & later OS X version.
