Can I change the processor of my mac mini?

i have a mac mini 2.5 ghz intel core i5 with amd radeon graphics. Can i change the processor to i7 2.7ghz and will it really make a difference?

Even if i can't, would it really have made a great differnce in the performance ( only the processor would be changed )

  • HT1531 Can you change the processor from PowerPC to Intel?

    Can you change the processor from PowerPC to Intel?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It's not possible. Intel-based Macs use completely different logic boards than PowerPC-based Macs because chips are different (Intel-based Macs use EFI instead of Open Firmware, or PRAM instead of NVRAM), so if you want a Intel processor on your computer, you need a new iMac

  • Can i change the processor ? Sony Vaio E Series

    Hello I have a Sony Vaio Model sve1513b1ewIt has a Intel Pentium 2020M Processor Can i be able to change the processor to a i3 or i5 ? 

     
    Hi gasspari,  
    Thank you for considering Sony Community! 
    We do not advise Vaio users to upgrade or modify certain parts of their units, especially the processor. It is still possible but we cannot guarantee that it will work without any issues. Another thing is, your Vaio SVE1513B1EW is not a U.S. model and we have limited information about your computer. 
    For further assistance, or any other concern, we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
    Hope the link helps. 
    Thanks,

  • HT1657 Rented a movie off a gift card and can't fine the movie on my mac mini?

    Rented a movie using redemption card and cant fine the movie on my mac mini.  The money is deducted from my card and no movie

    Take the sdhc card out of the camcorder, plug it into the side port of the iMac.
    Open iMovie and import from the card. A small window should open up to let you import.

  • How can i change the setting on a mac from someone i bought a Mac pro from to mine?

    I recently bought a Mac Pro from a friend of mine who's used t for some months. I want to change the System name and other settings such as app Store, calendars etc to my own profile as i still see his name come up all the time. i cannot update Apps on the store as it keeps asking me for his password.
    please help!

    Do you mean you have a Macbook Pro (laptop) versus a Mac Pro (desktop)?
    You can back up the MBP, restart using Command+R to boot into the Mavericks Recovery HD, erase the Mactintosh HD and Reinstall OS X. Then you can go through setup and configure it with your information and Apple ID. Mavericks should not prompt you for an Apple ID when it goes through the install since that OS is free.
    One thing you might want to consider is asking the previous owner to unregister the MBP from his Apple ID if he previously registered it. Then you can register it under your Apple ID.
    The previous owner should have wiped it clean and reinstalled the OS that came pre-installed before selling it.

  • How can i change the windows structure into mac structure

    Before i had a mac i used my iPod on a windows computer. When i connect my iPod to my mac i see that i can only repair my iPod. I can't update . It sais that only Ipods with a mac structure can be updated.
    So is there a way to change the windows structure to a mac structure?

    You cannot change a Windows iPod into a Mac iPod without restoring it, which erases its contents. To restore it, use the repair button you saw.

  • How can I change the identity of a Mac?

    I was recently given Mac that was previously used by my dad.  He had originally named it with his name.  I have been trying to change it so it has my name on it (i.e. "Jeff Wykoffs Mac")  However, I haven't figured out how to do that completely.  For example, when I find this computer with Bluetooth with my cell phone it shows up with the name my dad gave it.  Is there a way to change that, and if so how do I do that?

    Simple solution. Create a new admin user account. Log into the new account and delete the old one. More complex solution:
    Macworld | Changing the short username in Leopard
    The above works in Snow Leopard also. Use the last procedure titled, "The Full Monty." Apple's procedure frequently fails to work for many users.

    Long shot, but...
    Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

    It sounds like you’re running into an issue locating apps that you’ve downloaded from the iTunes Store on your Mac. To see the location of an app that you’ve downloaded, just select the file in iTunes and choose File > Get Info, as shown in this article:

  • I have been given my sons iPhone 4 how can I change the ID on it to mine

    i have changed the ID on the app store but don't know how to change the ID on the actual phone

    What you should do is erase the phone, then set everything up using your Apple ID. You don't say what version of iOS the phone is running, but look here: Settings>Messages...if iMessages is shown, turn it off. Do the same with FaceTime & then delete the iCloud account, it it exists: Settings>iCloud. Once you do that: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. When finished, set everything up using your ID.

  • Where can I get the disks for a mac mini 2006?

    My mini (early 2006) crashed. All I get is the line after line of start up dialogue. I am missing the disks that came with the computer and have no way of booting it. Can anyone suggest a program that will boot the mini and repair it or else where I can get the system disks. I have looked on the Apple site but cannot locate them. Thanks.

    Call AppleCare.  The number is on http://www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html
