There are a number of places you can go to see how to replace drives in the new mini. iFixit.com has instructions and there are videos on youtube.
It wasn't designed for user replacement but it can be done.

  • Changed AppleID p-word and now can't login to icloud on mac mini. I use correct password and I get spinning grey wheel. I know it's the correct password cause any other p-word gets error message. Also, my time capsule is blinking amber.

  • How can I boot and run my Mac Mini on my 12" PwrBk display using firewire?

    How can I boot and run my Mac Mini on my 12" PwrBk display using firewire?

    bwhit:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    No reason why you should not be able to do it using Firewire Target Disk Mode. Here's what you do:
    1. With both computers shut down connect both via firewire.
    2. Startup the Mini and hold down "T" key immediately after chime.
    3. Startup the PB and immediately after chime hold down Option key.
    4. Select second HDD icon on the screen and click on the right pointing arrow.
    5. Computer will boot from Mini's HDD.
    Be sure to shut down PB completely before shutting down Mini.
    Please do post back with an update or with further questions or comments.
    Cheers

  • Can airport extreme connect using a mac mini.  the base station is not recognized so i cannot configure it manually

    can airport extreme connect using a mac mini.  this airport extreme wont connect to internet via my cable modem.  I cant set it to bridge mode because it doesnt appear as a base station in airport utitlity...help

    First, is your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) a 802.11n, 802.11g, or 802.11b model? Second, what is your primary goal for using this base station? Finally, is the AEBS the only router in your current network configuration?

  • How many firewire drives can I daisy chain on the mac mini

    How many firewire g-drives can I daisy chain on my mac mini

    From personal experience, if they are bus powered portable drives,
    the answer is none.  For what ever reason, they are draw a lot of
    power and are probably near the edge of the bus powering specs.
    Then again, these were the fastest of all the portable FW drives that
    I have (Iomega and Seagate being the others), which may have
    something to do with it.
    I had also noticed an issue with them even with USB.  Plugging one
    into the Mini or even a powered USB hub would be fine, but 2 would cause
    both to be inaccessible, unless I used a couple of USB "Y" cables
    that would distribute the power across other ports.
    If they are externally powered, you could string a bunch.

  • Can I Replace my Early 2009 Mac Mini Hard Drive with my Early 2011 Macbook Pro Hard Drive?

    I am replacing my 2011 Macbook Pro Hard Drive with a Solid State Drive.  Instead of keeping the hard drive on an external enclosure I was wondering if I can use it to upgrade my Mac Mini's 160GB hard Drive with the one Im taking out of the MBP.  And if so, is there any special formatting I would need to do?

    It should work fine. No special formatting required. It actuality, I suspect that if you connect the HD, the Mini will boot into the OSX that was on the MacBook.
    When you replace the HD in the Mini just be careful with the antennas and their wires and connections I accidentally disconnected the wifi antenna on mine when I replaced the HD.

  • Need new disk for 2011 Mac Mini i5 with Radeon 6630M

    I need a new disk for 2011 Mac Mini i5 with Radeon 6630M
    Will this fit?
    Western Digital 2.5 inch Scorpio Black 750GB 7200rpm SATA 16MB Internal Hard Drive WD7500BPKT
    Will I need special screwdrivers or tools?

    Wow, I worked on my MacMini after watching the video.
    But BEWARE!
    That OWC video misses a crucial step! (I emailed them)
    My MacMini had a bit of "invisible" black tape holding the disk connector to the disk, very hard to see. When I pulled off the connector, it came apart !
    That bit of tape must be something Apple added, or some manufacturers added, but it really messed me up. I had to send my MacMini off to be repaired, at a cost about $200 including parts and labour.

  • Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

    Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

    There is no license required for iWeb.  Just do a Wyodor suggested and you'll be ready to go. If you're running Lion however, consider the following:
    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
