Buying right memory modules for my mac-mini (mid 2011)

Could someone please confirm if I could use one of the following DIMMs for my mid 2011 mac-mini? (I'll be using 2x4GB DIMMs)
I tend to go for the transcend one, being cheaper & I see good number of folks using it without issue on their macbook pros's (source: reviews from flipkart)
Please help me decide.
Rs. 1068 Transcend DDR3 4 GB Laptop RAM (JM1333KSN-4G)
Rs. 1223 Kingston ValueRAM DDR3 4 GB Laptop RAM (KVR1333D3S9/4G)
Rs. 1277 Corsair DDR3 4 GB Laptop RAM (CMSO4GX3M1A1333C9)
Supported DIMM specifications by Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4805

@aasheash
I had bought 2 x
Transcend DDR3 4 GB Laptop RAM (JM1333KSN-4G)
My machine started having kernel panics and I had to re install the OS
This happend 3 times and it took me a while to figure it was the RAM upgrade
I dont think these Transcends are Mac compatible
Can anyone please elaborate on the RAM timings or any other compatibility criteria. I figured I better understand this one, coz unfortunately I came across posts saying that this Transcend is compatible, but actually its not
Machine works fine after putting back the old RAMs
I have a macbook pro 15" late 2011

  • Is it right to mix sizes of memory modules in a mac mini 2012? for example 2Gb 8Gb?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can do that without any problem, always that the total amount of memory is less than the maximum memory your Mac mini supports. A Late 2012 Mac mini supports 16 GB of memory, and you can find in this site the steps to install more memory > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4432?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US#1

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Mid 2011 Mac mini supports 8 GB of memory officially, but you can install up to 16 GB of RAM, so you can use 2, 4 and 8 GB modules. You can buy more RAM from OWC or Crucial.
    If you are looking for memory at a local shop, make sure you buy 1333 MHz DDR3 memory. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4432?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • 8 GB RAM for Mac Mini Mid-2011?

    I am looking for the correct version to install in my Mac Mini 2011. I found http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3-10600-SODIMM-204-Pin-CT2C4G3S1339M/dp/B008LTBI T4/ is that the correct version that is compatable with my device?

  • Mac mini (Mid 2011) inexplicably running slow, especially videos, despite what I think is sufficient memory.

    I have a Mac mini (Mid 2011). It has become slow in some ways even though I have 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory and almost 250GB of free storage. I recently installed Yosemite 10.10.1 (14B25) but I had noticed the slow down prior to that. Notably, videos no longer run smoothly. Instead, there are brief pauses in playback. I initially thought it was a problem with streaming videos but then found the same problem playing TV shows and movies downloaded from the iTunes store.
    There are now also lags for starting up certain programs and many programs seems sluggish once open. Not sure what could have caused the slow down since I don't even use the computer at issue very much and haven't recently installed any new software. No programs launch with log-in and all notifications are turned off. Any ideas? If there's a problem specifically related to video, I'd be interested in hearing that too. I use a Samsung monitor but it and everything else about my computer used to work perfectly and videos ran smoothly until fairly recently.

  • Highest dual display resolution for mac mini mid 2011

    I am currently running a mac mini mid 2011. As I've understood (according to the below statement). Am I only able to use 2 secreen with 1920x1200 or could I use one screen with 2560x1600 and one with 1920x1200. I do NOT want mirroring, only dual displays.
    I am going to connect the screens in the following way:
    1x mini-dvi - HDMI to one screen.
    1x HDMI - HDMI to the other screen.
    Display Support:
    Dual Displays
    Resolution Support:
    1920x1200*
    Details:
    *This model simultaneously supports 1920x1200 on an HDMI display or a DVI display using the included HDMI-to-DVI adapterand 2560x1600 on a Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort display or even a VGA display (with an optional Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter, which is compatible with the Thunderbolt port).
    2nd Display Support:
    Dual/Mirroring*
    2nd Max. Resolution:
    2560x1600*
    Details:
    *This model simultaneously supports 1920x1200 on an HDMI or a DVI display (using the included HDMI-to-DVI adapter) and2560x1600 on a Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort display or even a VGA display (with an optional Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter, which is compatible with the Thunderbolt port).
    Thanks in advance

    According to the copy&paste from wikipedia, HDMI should support higher resolution than 1920x1200. So the question is, does it aupport that on the mid 2011 mac mini. It says in the specifications
    "Mac mini is designed to work with HDMI devices that comply with versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.2a, 1.3, 1.3a, and 1.4 of the HDMI specification."
    That should mean it should be able to support it, but I don't know : <

  • Does a 500 GB SSD work in a Mac Mini (mid 2011)?

    I have a Mac Mini (mid 2011), 2.5 GHz and 4 GB of memory.
    The iOS app called MacTracker says that this model is "configurable to 256 GB solid-state drive or 256 GB solid-state drive and 750 GB (7200-rpm) hard drive".
    I was thinking about buying a Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Single Unit Version Internal Solid State Drive. My doubt is: will it work in my Mac Mini or the maximum storage must be 256 GB? If it runs a 500 GB SSD, a Samsung EVO SSD would be a possible (or a perfect) choice?

    The info from MacTracker brings up the options available in a Configuration to Order
    at the time the product was new; so that tells people who may have found their unit
    bought with odd specs, such upgrade may be due to a CTO Apple factory upgrade.
    Other options that can work, of even higher spec capacity, can be researched in
    such mac-centric sites as macsales.com and others who have a reputation for
    customer service and quality products; many have information on their sites...
    Doesn't hurt to ask. OWC macsales may even have an online chat. Info on how
    to upgrade Apple products with later parts (out of warranty, etc) is available in
    their page as well as iFixit.com guides. Everymac.com also offers spec info.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Mac Mini (mid 2011) ram slot has failed: Any others experiencing?

    This seems similar to this problem, mentioned in a number of threads covering MacBooks, best described here: MacBook Pro loses access to 1 memory slot upon shutdown or reboot in OS X 10.8.1
    I'm having the same issue with a Mid-2011 Mac Mini (purchased June 2013).  As in that linked tread, overheating after OS upgrade (in my case , Mavericks) seems to be related.  I had constant crashes at sleep beginning about three weeks ago, and three tones at boot.  For about two weeks I could get it to reboot by unplugging and giving it some time. Until today. Cleaned. Tested both chips in both possible slots, but will always get three tones when either chip is in top slot, fine when that slot is empty. Hardware test appears to just ignore an empty slot, so really not helpful (and won't boot with filled slot).
    It appears the only real fix is a new logic board, which appears is almost as expensive as buying a new machine.
    I'm not going to get into "loosening screws" as suggested in linked discussion, but that may work for a powerbook.
    It does sounds like heat related warping. I saw early heating problems with this after 10.9.5 upgrade.  Ended up building a special vertical stand (Mini's venting is rather poor) and installed "Temperature Monitor" by Marcel Bresink Software, which I recommend, and uninstalled some things (including killing a Mac update process that was running constantly) .  This got the heat under control, but it looks like the damage was done. Now I'm running on one 8gb memory chip, which dramatically shortens the life of the machine.  It won't be a candidate for a Yosemite upgrade coming shortly.
    Must say I'm pretty disappointed in "Apple quality". Had similar experience (repeated shorts of logic board, replaced 3 times) with a MacBook c.1997, when Apple Co. was looking like it might not survive, and lots of folks were having such problems.  But at least then they would repair it for free. Given the premium price (without premium quality), I think this will be my last Mac, after having started with a Plus in the 1980s.

    Mac Mini mid 2011, installed 2x 4GB memory when first got this machine, has worked well till this year 2015 when it slowed way down and I found memory slot #2 was not working.  I swapped the cards and also reinstalled the original mac memory, still only half of the memory is detected in one slot.  It is always the same slot, not dependent on the memory card.  A mac mini which never gets moved.  Mar. 2, 2015

  • Mac Mini Mid 2011 Ram Upgrade to Clock 1600mhz...?

    I intend to upgrade the Memory on my Mac Mini Mid 2011 to 8gb. Question here is its currently running Two 1gb Chips at 1333mhz and I was wondering if I could get Two 4gb Chips at 1600mhz and have them mounted...?
    Is that possible or will I have to stick to a 1333mhz Module...?

    Stick with the recommended RAM for the computer.......
    .....make sure your mini will not go past 8GB.....

  • Mac Mini (Mid-2011 Core i7) Slow after Yosemite Upgrade

    I've searched the other "slow after Yosemite upgrade" threads but those seem to relate to Core Duo 2 machines with less RAM.  I have a Core i7 MM w/ 8GB of RAM, after the Yosemite upgrade it constantly lags, I can barely type on it these days because the text lags so badly.  It's unusable to say the least.  Is there anything I can do to speed it up?  There must be a reason why the performance is so bad.

    I would opt for one 8 GB stick so you would have 10 GB. total. This says really no practical advantage in dual channel memory

  • Mac Mini Mid 2011 General system slowdown when transferring files?

    Hi i have a stock mac mini mid 2011, 2.5ghz i5, 4gb ram, 500gb HDD os 10.7.1 and i've noticed a general system slowdown when transferring files on 10.7 and the last 10.7.1 update ( from usb to hdd, another computer on my local network to the mini, external dvd to the mini, etc).
    I could describe the slowdown as mouse pointer movement suffers, its "laggy", application take longer to start, even menus in them from appearing, writting something on the keyboard i have to wait like 5 - 10 seconds so the words start appearing in the app (i.e. textedit).
    I wanted to know if any other new mac mini owner has had this issue and if there is any solution to this(that would not involve buying a SSD for example)?
    Im not really sure if this is a hardware or system issue but it really is getting on my nerves(i know i could just wait for the files to transfer which is what i do now but i dont think that should be), since i also have a old macbook from 2007 2.0ghz c2d, 2gb ram, 250gb HDD os 10.6.8 and have never had this problem before.
    Thanks in advanced.
    Let me know if i need to give more info on this subject.
    Edit: I forgot to mention, the funny thing is doing a time machine backup to my external HDD or transferring files from my HDD to a usb doesnt give me any kind of slowdown.

    Hi Rick, I'd see if it's reated to this, which has many symptoms...
    Try this: "sudo pmset autopoweroff 0" and "sudo pmset standby 0"

  • Windows 8 Release Preview on Mac Mini mid 2011

    I was wondering if its possible to install Windows 8 Release Preview on a Mac Mini mid 2011 via Bootcamp (Mainly for gaming purposes)

    I've finally got it installed on my HP Touchsmart 610-1000t (or whatever the number is).....
    Apparently it's a graphics card/driver issue. 
    I downloaded the enterprise final release and it did the same thing to me (black screen etc etc).
    In the end, I highly doubt some of these models are compatible with windows 8 if the final release is giving me the same problem.  The only difference is- now the sleep button worked, so I fiddled around with it until I got it fully installed (user created).  After doing so, I booted into Safe mode and disabled the graphics driver/restarted and it booted up fine/works fine.  Every now and then it crashes on IE10.  I wasn't able to test the touch capabilities during the releases between developer and final, so it wasn't until now I can finally test the functionarlity of ALL the gesture functionality.  I can say, the combination of the touch screen desktop and short cut keys makes everything so much quicker and easier.  I perfer windows 8 over windows 7 on my touchscreen, finally the touchscreen experience is much better! Of course I still use my keyboard and mouse.  The touch pinning/swiping is awesome.  I can't say the same for normal desktops in a corporate environment (without touchscreens).....I can say however- windows 8 tablets would be really nice in place of my Ipad or my laptop that I carry around from meeting to meeting, thus the reason I'm waiting for the Surface!  CItrix and apps can only take you so far.

  • Mac Mini mid 2011 Mini Dvi to VGA problems

    I have a mac mini mid 2011 and I have to connected to a display in work.  The display only has a VGA entrance, so i bought a mini dvi to vga adapter from my local mac store, but when i connected to the display everything looks odd, the whole display has an odd purple look, I have tried to use a different VGA cable but keep having the same problem, I even tried a different display with the same results, anybody knows why this happens and how to fix it?

    Your welcome!
    On your end before returning the Adapter,
    try > Resetting the System Management Controller
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
    3. Wait fifteen seconds.
    4. Attach the computer's power cord.
    5. Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    and > About NVRAM and PRAM
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    3. Turn on the computer.
    4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    6. Release the keys.
    then if that doesn't help, return the adapter and explain the problem to the Apple tech person at the store.

  • Mac Mini (Mid 2011) display artifacts HDMI to DVI at native res

    Hello,
    I recently changed monitor configurations and in the process moved my Mac Mini (Mid 2011) to a HP LP2065 monitor.  The connection is made through the stock supplised HDMI to DVI adapter.   The monitor and the DVI cable work successfully with other machines.
    What occurs is only certain colors, usually black,  result in the display being red and/or sparkling and/or static (like TV static) when the monitor is set at its native resolution of 1600x1200.
    If I bump the resolution down to 1280x1024, or lower,  the black color returns and I see no display glitches.   If I bring the resolution back up to 1600x1200,  the display artifacts return.
    A few google searches suggest I use a DisplayPort to DVI adapter instead as some monitors are "finicky".   Does anyone agree with that?  It seems peculiar to me -- why would a digital signal have analog-looking glitches? 
    Any ideas welcome.. thanks for reading

    Your monitor has a native pixel resolution of 1920x1200.  There is no point in trying for 1080-p or -i.
    I run two 1920x1200 monitors via HDMI (with passive cable adapters where necessary) and I use these choices:
    ...and they are both pixel-sharp, filling the screen, and yet menu bars totally visible!
