How to Calibrate new iMac 27 in Retina Display

I have been calibrating my now defunct MacBook Pro with my spyder 4Pro. I just bough a new iMac 27 in Retina Display. The problem is that when I place the Spyder on the screen the wire with the counter weight is to short to hang over the back of the monitor, due to the size of the screen.

I tried this once and held the wire by hand. Not that easy for the duration of the calibration. Also, when done, the photos are not right. They do not match the screen. Colors were near perfect on my old MacBook Pro..

Any suggestions?

I have the same problem with my 27" and SpyderPro. What I do is to use a very small piece of tape to hold the wire against the top of the monitor in order to hold the sensor in the correct position, also tilt the monitor backwards; no problemas.....
