Can i run 2GB and 4GB of ram in a 2010 mac mini?

as i know you can't run a 512MB with 2GB as the size difference is to great

A part of your physical memory is being reserved by your BIOS, depending on the installed hardware. What's left is for the OS to add to the virtual address space (physical memory + pagefile), usually no more than 3.25 GB for a 32 bit OS. Decrease your pagefile in size to a couple hundred MB, it might change something and you will barely need it anyway...
If it's available in your BIOS, enable Memory Remapping.

Can i use 2gb memory in one slot in my 2006 Mac mini as the 2 slots of 1gb only reports only 1gb memory, both memory work ok in the one slot

Can I use 2gb memory in one slot in my 2006 Mac mini as the 2 slots of 1gb only reports as 1gb memory, both memory work ok in the one slot as I have swapped them over

To my knowledge 1GB modules are the max. size for the 2006 Mini.
2GB modules are not recognized/useable.
Sorry

Can't access iTunes and Screen Sharing sharing services on my mac Mini

Since several weeks now I face a networking issue of the stranger kind.
Currently I've got my Mac mini acting as the central server for music, photos and files in my home. Central Network Mgmt device is a Wireless Lan router.
In the past I was accessing the Mac Mini from my MacBook via Screen Sharing this doesn't work anymore. When requesting the service the connection effort just runs idle. In iTunes on my MacBook I can see the Libary of my Mac Mini iTunes but clicking on it brings the rotateing ball and after a certain while the message that the iTunes Libary is not responding and that I should check my Firewall settings. Which I did on both computers and they are wide open. 'Ipfw show' in Terminal brings back the message 'Open for any to any communication' also on both computers.
Makeing use of the File sharing service from the MacBook to the MacMini works but it takes a extreme long while until the shared folder appears on the MacBook.
Trying to access from the Mac Mini my MacBook for all these services is no problem.
One more thing is that my Mac Mini cannot access the Wireless Lan router anymore thru the Web Browser or thru a Ping. Here I get the message 'Ping Send to: permission denied'. I changed the Router still the same message. Internet traffic is only possible after I manually applied a DNS Server with its IP number.
Anyone out there who could help? I'm close to completely reinstall my Mac Mini but would naturally love to avoid this.

wireduck,
Highlight the music folder and on the keyboard type (Command) + i: on the window that opens scroll down if need and click on the lock on the bottom right. Type in an Admin User name and password. Then under the (Sharing & Permissions:) make sure the users you want to open the folder are listed and that there (Privilege) is set to @ least Read. If not hit the ( + ) sign and add them. After you have that all set up click on the little gear next to the ( - )s sign and (Apply to a enclosed items). that way each user can read the files. After that the little ( - ) sign should be gone on the folders.
Hope that helps.

On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive, On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive

On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7pm bootcamp without an optical drive. I watch lots of football on sop cast and other such windows based programmes but can't work out how to do it.

Actually Windows can be installed and booted from an external drive if the drive is connected eSATA (external SATA), since the drive is treated as if it's an internal HDD. I used the same method previously to dual-boot from 2 different HDD instead of partitioning.
Most PC motherboards come with them as standard so it's pretty much plug and play but I don't recall seeing a recent Mac with eSATA connectivity though, so that might not be an option for you.

Can I run Final Cut Pro X on the most basic Mac Mini?

The Spec sheet: http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/ it says "Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor or better." I'm not sure whether what comes with the standard Mac Mini is same / better or worse.

Thanks,
My 5 y/o Macbook is on it's last legs I think and really need something decent for video editing. I don't do millions but can't even install FCP on my current Mac and even iMovie takes about 3 days to even open on it. (I've upgraded RAM, HD and OS till Lion).

You can find out for yourself by downloading the free 30 day trial.
http://www.apple.com/uk/finalcutpro/trial/
Sorry, I didn't realise at first that you hadn't yet got a Mini.
FCP X should work perfectly on all current Macs.
However, the ideal one would be an iMac if you can stretch to that.

RAM maximum for 2010 mac mini

I have a 2.3 Gh i5 Mac Mini. I know Apple says 8gb total is the maximum, but is there anyone who has gone to 16gb and what is the effect?
Thanks for any insight
/Chris

I should add that what triggered this question is that on Crucial's site they say:
Memory Type: DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 PC3-12800, DDR3 (non-ECC)
Maximum Memory: 16GB
Slots: 2
Each memory slot can hold DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 PC3-12800 with a maximum of 8GB per slot.*
*Not to exceed manufacturer supported memory.
This is put forward as their recommended upgrade. Wondering what gives.
Thanks again

Will RAM from a 2010 Mac mini work with a late 2012 Mac mini?

I have two Mac minis. One is from mid 2010 and the other one is from late 2012. I am wondering if the memory modules are interchangeble.

No
The 2010 uses PC3-8500 1066 MHz modules and the 2012 uses PC3-12800 1600 MHz modules.

Performance Difference Between 2gb and 4gb on a MacBook Pro

Hi Guys,
About to make the big purchase. I am wondering what is the proformance difference between 2gb of ram and 4gb of ram on the new MacBook Pro?
Thanks
ll

I upgraded my new late 208 mbp and have been having ram problems ever since. My computer keeps locking up usually during video play and makes screeching noises and has weird 1 inch thick horizontal lines that go across my screen when it happens. I have to do a hard shutdown. I called macsales.com where i got the OWC memory and they said there is an issue with the video drivers and the third party memory. I have already had a replacement computer from Apple and it is still happening on a different computer. i did a fresh install of the OS but still having it. So be aware....it's already happened on two computers for me!

Alternatively, partition your internal HD and dual-boot it. Do note that you have to reboot to switch back and forth. You can't do it by logging out and back in.

My wife and i both have an itunes library installed on to our separate pc's, we are now de-commissioning the pc's and are moving over to a single mac mini, can we install both libraries on to the mac mini and run them as separate libraries?

Generally YES.
It's possible to hold separate iTunes library's on a single machine.
Generate two new folders inside the Music folder of the Mini and name them differently; e.g. man and woman.
Copy your whole library into "man" and your wifes into "woman"
Go to sharing in the system settings of the Mini and share the Music folder in your network.
After copying the whole library's to the Mini you may point iTunes to the new location at startup by holding the option key (alt) at the keyboard.
iTunes will then ask you where the library is located.
Point it to the matching library on the Mini.
That's all.
Lupunus
PS ... If you both use only the Mini you have to setup a user account for each and just copy the whole library to the Music folder in particular.

HT1199 Can I run iTunes and Apps on my Windows 7 computer or do I need an ipad or iphone ?

Can I run ITunes and Apps on my Windows7 computer. So far the one App I have downloaded just won't run. Do I need an iPad or IPhone to run these programmes?

There is an iTunes on the idevices, just a Store effectvily.
There is an iTunes on a PC and Mac, which is the Library handler, and connects to the iDevices for sync and backup.
The Apps that you download for iDevices are downloaded with "Appstore" on that iDevice itself, or downloaded on the Mac or PC with iTunes for transferring to the iDevice.
That apps will only run on the iDevice.
For Window s7 and Windows 8 there has just been released a new iTunes version 11.

Can we run SCC7 and BDLS in parallel?

Hi Folks,
We are creating a new R3 system which is a copy of a large production system. There is a requirement for running BDLS to change the logical system name. Since the source system is a huge one, SCC7 and BDLS take a long time to get completed. So, just to save time in delivering the system to the customers, can we run SCC7 and BDLS simultaneously? If not, why?
Thanks
Ranga

Hello,
Is there any connection between the two? - Of course
SCC7 is 'Post client copy processing' - which is a part of Client copy
BDLS is logical system conversion to be done after Client copy
Until n unless you are not finished with Client copy why would you want to convert logical systems ?
I would say, you please go through some BDLS SAP Notes to get the concept first - as why we need to run BDLS.
Thanks

I can't run LR5 and EOS utility at the same time

I'm running Mac OS 10.9.5, LR5.7 & Eos Utility 3.
I can't run LR and Eos3 at the same time. Eos just crashes and have to force quit Eos.
Any tips anyone?
Do I have to downgrade to Eos2. Not a problem really I suppose.

LR supports tethering using a Canon DLL and EOS Utility probably also supports tethering or at least uses something from a similar Canon DLL. You probably cannot have two different versions of that DLL loaded at the same time, so it makes sense there are problems.

Can we run SYSAUD and DDDAUD reports from AppDesigner? If yes, how to?

Can we run SYSAUD and DDDAUD reports from AppDesigner? If yes, how to?

No, you cannot run any program from AppDesigner. This is a development tool.
However, without the front end application, you could be able to run programs through the commands lines (PSSQR/PSAE...)

Can I run rhino and grasshopper on a virtual windows on my macbook air?

Can I run rhino and grasshopper on a virtual windows on my macbook air? I keep getting a not enough memory message.

The USB stick from your MBA cannot be used on any other Mac. You will need to purchase a retail copy of Snow Leopard for your other computer.
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
