Mac mini won't boot after RAM upgrade.

Tried installing new RAM in my Mac Mini, 512MB stock to 2GB of Crucial. Followed the directions to a T, grounded myself the whole time.
Things I've tried so far:
1. Resetting the PRAM, no luck.
2. Holding option at start-up, shows no icon.
3. Holding shift, no luck.
4. Holding X, nothing.
How do I get it to accept a CD if it won't boot?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You clearly have a problem, but you don't describe exactly what that is other than that your mini won't boot after the upgrade. What happens when it starts up? Does it attempt to start and hang up on the grey or blue screens, or does it start beeping at you almost immediately after you try and start it up, and also flash the power light?
If the former, then you may have dislodged a connector while working inside the system, in which case opening it up and checking that everything is firmly connected would be the first thing to do. If the latter, then the beeping/light flashing is the system telling you it has failed the power-on self test and the pattern of beeps/lights indicates why. In your case likely the system can't find workable memory. In that instance, opening the system and ensuring that the RAM is firmly and fully seated would be a good step, and if the mini continues to fail, then replacing the new RAM with the original to test that the system will then start.
It is not likely that anything had damaged your MacOS install in the process of upgrading, thus normally no reason to need to boot to CD as a result of a RAM issue.

  • Mac Mini Won't Start after RAM upgrade

    Hi, I just tried upgrading my RAM from 1GB to 2GB on my Intel Core Solo Mac Mini. When i hooked everything back up it wouldn't start up. So I replaced the original RAM and the same thing happened. I get to the gray apple screen with the gray spinning wheel and then it just shuts off. What could be my problem? Are their any solutions?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, though I suspect the circumstances could be better!
    It's not unusual for 'bad RAM' to cause a system to fail to boot, but the disturbing feature of your problem is that when the previous memory is reinserted, the system continues to fail. What makes it worse is that you describe the system shutting off after failing to boot - that is not a common symptom of something simple like bad memory, and may mean that in the initial upgrade, something was damaged or dislodged, or not reconnected correctly.
    I would open up the system again, and disassemble it sufficiently that you can reseat the original RAM which was working correctly prior to the upgrade, then check that everything is connected correctly internally, and the CPU heatsink is firmly attached. If that doesn't result in the system working, or at least in different symptoms such as being stuck on the grey screen but no longer shutting down, then I would look for an Apple store in the area and make an appointment at the genius bar for them to have a look - that would not bear a cost in the first instance for them to give their opinion.

  • Mac Mini won't boot after failed XP installation

    Recently upgrade HD to 320GB 7200 rpm and 3GB ram. Running 10.5.8 fine.
    I tried to install Windows XP through Boot Camp, but wasn't successful, I terminated the installation. Then Mac Mini won't boot up. When powered on, you heard the chime, then grey screen showed and stayed. Tried starting with "C" (boot from CD), "OPT" (boot option), "T" (target), and reset PRAM. None of them worked.
    What should I try next?
    Thanks

    If you install XP on Bootcamp, your startup disc will be changed to XP Windows partitioned you did. To restore your startup disc back to Mac OS, make sure your Mac is turned off. 1. Plug the power back and press the power button ON. When you hear the power On sound, press and hold the ALT key on your keyboard until you see the hardrives. 2. Select the HD that says MAc OS, then your mac will boot back to Mac OS.
    Let me know if you have more problems, maybe I can help.

  • Mac Mini won't boot after update

    I have a Mac Mini that won't boot after the most recent software update. Since the Mini has only a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, a number of the usual options (hold down shift, etc.) won't work. I've tried a reset, also no luck. At the moment, I can't locate my Tiger install CD either.
    When holding the power button on during boot, I get a series of flashes from the status light on the front (a set of very rapid flashes, followed by a slower set, followed by a slow set) but no startup chime, or fan, or video. My display and power source are both known-good (work fine with my Powerbook)
    Any suggestions, other than buying a hardwired keyboard/mouse?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The 'newer version of OS X" error occurs because the installer on the DVD you have booted to has by default been set to update the version of MacOS on the hard drive, which of course it can't do because the version of MacOS it is installing is newer. The only way to install in this situation is to select a different option. However, that isn't what you want to do at this point, because as it says, you'll loose your data if you do an 'erase and install'.
    Instead, you should see menus at the top of the screen when it's booted to that install disk. Click the Utilities menu, select Disk Utility, and then click the top entry for the internal hard drive on the left. Once done, click on the 'Repair Disk' button (not Repair Permissions). This will test the drive to make sure it's OK. If it reports errors, and then reports 'error or exit' with the drive not repaired, you will either need a 3rd party application such as Alsoft's Disk Warrior, or to perform an erase and install (which of course you don't want to do at this point because your data is not backed up).
    If the Repair Disk process completes with no errors, next select Repair Permissions, and let that process complete, then reboot the system as normal to see if you can now access the drive.

  • Mac Mini won't boot after 10.6.6 / Airport update

    I just reinstalled 10.6.3 on a unibody Mac Mini, updated to 10.6.6 - and it booted fine. I ran another software update, and it suggested two more updates - which I believe was an Airport Utility update and a Java update. Now the Mac Mini fails to boot, stopping at the Apple logo.
    The last lines of verbose startup goes like this:
    Airport: Link Down on en1. Reason 8 (Disassociated because station leaving).
    Aut result for: (MAC address) succeded
    AirPort: Link Up on en1
    AirPort: RSN handshake complete on en1
    AppleBCM5701Ethernet: 0 0 setFixedSpeed - logic error, speed any?
    Suggestions?
    H

    I experienced a similar problem today after a recent upgrade to 10.6.6. I ran Tech Tool Pro 5 on the machine, which reported everything as just dandy after about 6 hours of testing, but it still wouldn't boot. Next, I tried booting in Verbose mode, which revealed that my iMac was hanging on:
    AppleBCM5701Ethernet: 0 0 setFixedSpeed - logic error, speed any?
    I used Safe Single User mode (turn on power, then immediately press and hold Shift-Command-S until text starts appearing) to boot to a command line. Single User mode provides instructions on how to mount the file system read/write. I executed the `fsck` command as instructed, and after a few minutes it reported that it had made changes to the file system. At that point, I skipped the `mount` command and went directly to `exit` to continue the boot process, which completed. I turned AirPort back on (I had it turned off), then rebooted normally without any trouble.

  • Mac mini won't boot after accidental loss of power during firmware upgrade

    i accidentally hit the power switch on the wall during an upgrade (might even have been a firmware upgrade, I didn't really look at what was going on).  Anyway, now it hangs on the silver Apple logo screen with a spinny wheel on reboot.  It's only 3 months old, it's the $599 model.
    What to do?  I see that you can download firmware restoration disks but they appear to be limited to earlier versions of the Mac mini.

    I took it to the Mac store today and they fixed it for free by booting from an external drive and finishing the half-baked system update.  Now that I know how to do that, I can fix it myself next time.
    Thanks to Alan at the Salem, NH store!!

  • Mac mini doesn't wake after ram upgrade

    Hi
    I recently upgraded my mac mini from 2gb ram to 8gb ram and noticed that when the mac goes to sleep and the tv ( through hdmi wire) goes into standby that the mac mini will not send a signal to the tv anymore to wake up the tv from standby when I need it too from tapping on keyboard or moving mouse. At first I thought it was because of a software upgrade on the mac mini but when I switched back the ram to 2gb the mac mini will send the signal to wake the tv . I am just wondering has anyone come across this problem and what the solution is . I hav already reset pram setting and the usual things that everyone has mentioned in other posts . This seems to be a major flaw in apple deisgn unless they have a fix . I am stuck with my 2gb ram now in the mac which doesnt even have any speed . the only way I can use the 8gb ram is if i turn the mac on and off everytime I want to use it , as this is the only way to wake the tv with the 8gb ram inside as it doesnt wake the tv from sleep. This totally contradicts what apple say in their manual aswell,  they say not to power down your mac if your using it everyday just put it to sleep which wont help me in my case . So at the end of this rant my only two options are to continue to use 8gb ram and have to power on and off mac everytime to wake the tv or use my 2gb ram which makes the mac run really slow as 2gb is not enough but hey aleast my tv will come back on from sleep mode .
    Any answer will be a great help ???

  • Mac Mini won't boot after PRAM reset

    My mac mini has been running very slow, VERY VERY SLOW, then it would seem it would catch up with itself and run fine for a few minutes, then slow down again. It got to the point where I would have to do hard resets, but it still wouldn't work all that great. So I read on here to do a PRAM reset, which I did by holding down controloption+PR, and i got a gray screen with a status bar. But now the mac won't even boot up, even when I try safe mode. I turn it on, and i hear the start up tone, and get to the gray screen with status bar, but then it just shuts off. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    From your user guide:
    1 Disconnect all external devices from your Mac mini, except the keyboard and mouse.
    If you have an Ethernet cable connected, disconnect it.
    2 Restart your Mac mini while holding down the D key.
    3 When the Apple Hardware Test chooser screen appears, select the language you want
    to use.
    4 Press the Return key or click the right arrow button.
    5 When the Apple Hardware Test main screen appears (after about 45 seconds), follow
    the onscreen instructions.
    6 If Apple Hardware Test detects a problem, it displays an error code. Make a note of the
    error code before pursuing support options. If Apple Hardware Test doesn’t detect a
    hardware failure, the problem may be software-related.
    If this procedure doesn’t work, you can insert the Applications Install DVD that came
    with your Mac mini to use Apple Hardware Test. For more information, see the Apple
    Hardware Test Read Me file on the Applications Install DVD.
    When prompted, choose the extended test.

  • Mac mini won't boot after latest update Maverick

    What option do I have here?

    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X

  • Mac Mini Won't Boot after 2008 008 Security Update

    I have 2 mac mini's both identical systems - ran the security update at home - rebooted and noticed the movements of the mouse and the mail application was 1/2 to a second slow/behind - decided to restart - it took 3 restarts and it finally came back and then locked up
    I ran Disk Warrior and version 4.0.1 could not fix the problem - version 3.0.3 said it could and replaced the directory - but upon restart it would not boot - I became mesmerized by the spinning dial
    I will not run the update at work and had to substitute my titanium at home in the meantime

  • Mac Mini won't Boot after Target Disk Mode

    We just bought a new iMac and used target disk mode via firewire from our older Mac Mini running OSX 10.4 to transfer data.  Now when we go to restart the mini, the grey screen appears with apple logo and it seems to try to boot up but after a long time alway just ends up with a blue screen.  I don't  think I "ejected" the mini properly from the imac after the target disk mode transfer.  Could the mini be stuck in target disk mode?  I've tried to restart in different modes eg. safe mode, pram by holding down keys on start up but doesnt make a difference at all almost as if the keyboard isn't registering (and its a wired keyboard).  Any ideas???
    Thanks

  • Mac Mini won't boot after wind storm flickered lights

    My Mac Mini running OS X 10.5 will start up but won't go beyond the Apple logo.
    I can't even get it to start in Safe Mode. Is there any way around this problem besides
    buying a new computer?

    Usually, if there is a power disruption (or a static shock to the computer) and it does
    not work correctly, you may be able to perform a power management unit re-set;
    if the computer is a G4 PPC Mac Mini, that would be a PMU reset. If the computer
    happens to be a later Intel-based Mac Mini, the procedure would be an SMC reset
    and different rules would apply. I have added links to both methods in this post.
    There is a chance some hardware damages may have occurred to the computer due
    to being unprotected and not isolated from grid power fluctuations; such as provided
    by use of an 'uninterruptible power supply' or 'backup power supply' which would be
    able to switch to battery backup automatically when the main power goes haywire.
    Which model Mini do you have? Since I have a G4 PowerPC Mini, I know something
    about resetting Power Management Unit procedures since I've notice the Mini is more
    likely to need a reset due to static shock when normally touching the computer; with
    winter weather and less indoor humidity. (Otherwise, I have UPS power protection.)
    Links to both kinds of power/system management reset procedure are below.

    3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    4. Release the power button.
    5. Attach the computers power cable.
    6. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    {You may wish to read through the entire Intel-based Mac article if your Mini
    is of this architecture, since there may be applicable hints for all Intel-Macs.}
    Not sure about your other continuing issues; I'd have to re-read the posts,
    since I have been interrupted three times during this post, locally...
    If the computer does run, eventually, it may be some directory damages or
    other sector or data errors have occurred in the computer's hard disk drive;
    and you may have to consider buying Disk Warrior on disc so you can boot
    the computer from its disc to repair the Directory on the hard disk drive.
    Restoring is easier if you should have a complete clone of the computer on
    an external hard disk drive; one that is capable of booting the computer.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • IMac won't boot after ram upgrade

    For some reason, my iMac late 2013 3.4Ghz quad core i5 won't boot with new ram modules added.  New ram is exact same specs as original that came with the iMac.  I've tested the new ones on their own in the iMac, and the system boots up fine.  Same goes with just using the original ram.  But when I put all 4 together, the iMac doesn't boot up.  Not even the chime.
    Combinations I've tried are:
    1-Old
    2-New
    3-Old
    4-New
    No boot
    1-New

    2-empty
    3-Old
    4-empty
    Boot good
    I just got off the phone with Apple, and they are saying all modules have to be the same size. ie. all 4GB or all 8GB. Can't mix and match sizes. Which is strange, because I've never heard of this. My Mac Pro has different speed ram modules, with different sizes in it. As long as I install ram in pairs, it runs like a charm. I've even heard the new iMacs don't have to have ram installed in pairs.
    I'm wondering if slot 2 and 4 are maybe damaged? I haven't tried using just slot 2 and 4. To my understanding, you have to use 1 and 3 first. Can anyone confirm this?
    Also, I've read a couple of people had to wait 30 seconds for the chime when they installed new ram in their iMacs.  I didn't wait 30 sec to see if it would boot.  Never heard of any Mac taking 30 sec to just chime in. lol  Has anyone else experienced this?  Is there a fix?  Tx.

  • GE60 2OC won't boot after RAM upgrade...

    Hi forum
    I just upgraded my laptop ge60 2oc 014ne, with two 8 GB corsair value select sticks.
    Now my machine won't boot. I hit the button, the power light turns on, then the harddrive indicator lights for a while... And then it just stands there... Nothing shows on the screen..
    Any help? Please..
    Cheers

    another thing is that you can't put in more RAM than the notebook came shipped with right?
    If it originally had 8GB over 2 slots you can't put in more than 8GB in the entire notebook right? (I thought I read something about that somewhere....)
    Nope. Not true.
    In most cases it's restricted by 1 of 3 things....either the CPU, the IMC (Integrated Memory Controller) or the BIOS.
    MSI is pretty good about NOT restricting it via the BIOS in some way.
    Usually it ends up being the IMC that restricts it, either via a maximum memory (say 32 GB) or via a maximum amount of memory per module (say 8GB).
    Either way, the GE60 I believe should support up to 16GB of memory. I think it should come with 2 memory sockets. You need to ensure that they are 1.35V compatible given the fact that you have a Haswell system.
    http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GE60-2OC.html#specification
    Confirms that it has 2 memory sockets, and supports up to 16 GB of memory, so 2 x 8GB sticks.

  • Mac mini won't boot after power outage

    I have a Mac Mini Server which runs all the time in my house. We had a power outage a couple fo days ago but I didn't happen to check the mac mini until today. I found it at the login screen, and proceeded to log in. Everything was slow and taking way too long. Finally it froze. I restarted, but this time I got to a grey screen with a progress bar (no progress shown).
    At this point one of two things happens - either it switches to a spinning wheel forever, or it just shuts itself off. I've restarted many times and it seems to randomly choose one of those outcomes. I tried resetting the SMC by unplugging, waiting, and then plugging it back in, but this had no effect. I want to reset the PRAM, but it doesn't seem to work, although that might be because my keyboard is not an Apple keyboard. I'm trying to get another ekyboard to try, but besides resetting the PRAM, does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Try booting to the OSX disk that came with the Mini
    and run disk utility and try Repair Disk on the boot drive.
    Also, if you have a bootable clone, try that.
    If you have another Mac, another thing to try is
    getting the Mini to start in Target Disk mode and connect
    via Firewire to the other Mac and try a repair disk that way.
