Can I use my old 8GB 1067MHZ DDR3 in Macbook with Mac Mini late 2012 1600 MHZ DDR3

I am thinking about using my 8GB 1067 DDR3 from my old Macbook into my new Mac Mini late 2012 that uses 4GB 1600MHZ DDR3
Can I do it?
Thanks

Your Late 2012 Mac mini requires a different type of RAM respecting to the RAM that your MacBook Pro uses, so you cannot use it with your Mac mini. If you try to use it, you will get kernel panics or your Mac may not start up.
You can buy more RAM at OWC or Crucial. Always get RAM that meets your Mac specifications

  • Can I install and use any 2.5" SATA hard disk on my Mac Mini (Late 2012)?

    I have a Mac Mini (Late 2012) which is currently housing a 500GB SATA hard disk. Unfortunately read errors have been detected and it seems to be slowing down. I want to replace this with another 500GB SATA hard disk and I was wondering whether any notebook (2.5") hard disk would work or whether I have to look for one with specific specs (such as RPM, SATA version, etc).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Any 2 1/2 inch STA HD will work as long as the height is 9.5 mm or less. All most all meet this requirement except very larger capacity ones
    I would opt for a SSD since those are a lot faster than a 2 1/2 HD and now they are very reasonably priced.
    You can consider installing a second disk to using:

    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.

  • HT5287 Can I use remote disk on a 2008 unibody MacBook with no optical drive?

    Can I use remote disk on a 2008 unibody MacBook with no optical drive?

    According to the link you came from the only MacBooks this works with are MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with Retina display. If yours is not one of these I can see no harm in trying it.
    You could consider getting an external optical drive.

  • Keychain "login" Problems   Can't remember my Keychain password.  Admin Password also does not help. Mac Mini(Late 2012) OS 10.10.2

    Series of Keychain "Login" Problems.
    Hardware: Mac Mini (Late 2012)  2.5 GHz Intel COre i5,  4GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    OS X : 10.10.2 upgraded yesterday
    Mail wants to use "login" keychain.   I enter Password but no success.
    CalendarAgent wants to use "login" keychain.   I enter Password but no success.
    Com.apple.internetaccounts.xpc wants to you "login" keychain. Password, not successful.
    At some point in past days I was offered to rename Keychain, so I did.
    In Keychain Access, I deleted "Login"    and selected Delete references.
    Just now I went into ~/Library/Keychains and found Login.Keychain and Login_renamed.Keychain.
    I have renamed Login.keychain -> Login-old.keychain.
    I renamed Login_renamed.keychain-> Login.Keychain.
    In Keychain Access, I added "Login" back.  This should be the renamed keychain.
    Original problems still persist.  No noticeable changes.
    Keychain wants to use the "Login" keychain.   Can't remember my password or it is incorrect.
    Help?
    TITLprods

    I turned off and turned on the computer.  When restarting it said that it could not use the Login and did I want to create a new or use and alternate?  I created new and for the moment things seem to be working under the command of the "New Login"
    That still doesn't really alleviate the problem of the old login.

  • Mac Mini (late 2012) ram upgrade: 8gb dual channel vs 10gb? Flex Mode?

    I attempted to upgrade my Mac Mini (late 2012) from the stock 4gb of ram to 8gb. However, I messed up and didn't pay attention when buying the ram online and ordered 1x8gb stick rather than 2x4. Will losing dual channel with a 2/8 combo (10gb) make a difference that I will notice? Will having the additional 2gb make up for any lost performance? And finally, is flex mode available with the Mac Mini so that I'd still be running 4gb at dual channel and 6gb single?
    The 8gb stick arrived and I'd like to install it but Ill send it back and get the 2x4 depending on what I hear back.
    Thanks
    Ryan

    to the best of my knowledge, when upgrading your Mac mini's RAM, you must upgrade it with 2 SODIMM's at a time. When I bought my Mac mini Late 2012 model it had all the base level specs. Pretty soon the stock 4GB (2x 2GB) just wasn't fast enough. I bought a Crucial 16GB upgrade from Amazon (2x 8GB) and now my Mini is much faster especially when I am using Photoshop.
    Only thing I would do next is trying to swap the boot HD to a SSD, but am unsure as my Mac mini late 2012 is under AppleCare through December 2015 and I do not know if it would void the warranty.

  • Best LED TV  to be used as monitor for Mac Mini (Late 2012 model)

    Hi All,
    I am having a mac mini (late 2012 model). Now, I am planning to buy a HD LED Tv from my home. So I would like to know which one will be best suited to be used as a monitor for mac mini so that I can buy a TV which will be used as both TV and Monitor
    --jR

    You'll want something that's 1080p. Best to have one with HDMI input, too. Other than that, let price and warranty be your guide.

  • Is it possible to Install Windows 8 Pro 64-bit on a secondary hard dive in Mac Mini (Late 2012) using Boot Camp 5?

    Hello,
    I have a Mac Mini (Late 2012) running on OS X 10.8.3 and would like to install Windows 8 Pro on a secondary hard drive using Boot Camp 5. Is that really possible?
    A little background about the topic under discussion.
    1. Mac Mini (Late 2012) has a place holder to accomodate an additional hard drive (2.5") under the hood
    2. If just plugged with one, it would show as an additional volume in the finder
    3. Boot Camp 5 supoprts Windows 8 Pro 64-bit installation
    The idea is to run two operating systems (1. OS X and 2. Windows 8) on two hard drives in a Mac Mini, with maintainability a constraint.
    Have any one tried this out?  If so, kindly share if there are any specific procedures apart form the one given in Boot Camp 5 manual.
    Thanks in advance.
    ~ Narey

    Gotcha!!
    I am done with mounting a secondary HDD (thanks to ifixit) and installing Windows 8 Pro 64 bit on it without a worry. Charm, charm!!
    Boot Camp 5 guide prescribes all needed steps and when read and used correctly, installation must be an easy task. And all the existing apple hardwares work so good in the Windows environment too.
    I am going to help out a friend of mine in doing a similar thing on his mac too. If you got specific questions, please do shoot up here and i should be able to get a reply to it (if at all).
    Thanks everyone.

  • Can I use an old Airport Extreme as an extender with a new Airport Express

    Hi All,  I have Verizon Fios and the data line runs into my bedroom.  I purchased a new Airport Express today to replace the Airport Extreme (from 2006).  Can I use the old Airport Extreme as an extender (I'd like to set it up in the basement as I get poor connectivity there).  I tried using the Airport Utility - Other WiFi Devices to find the Airport Extreme, but it's not registering. Is what I'm attempting possible?  If so, how do I set it up?

    Can I use the old Airport Extreme as an extender
    Is this the "round" or "dome" shaped AirPort Extreme?
    If yes, then it is not possible to have the AirPort Extreme wirelessly "extend" the signal from the AirPort Express.
    However, the older AirPort Extreme can probably be set up to provide more wireless signal coverage if it will connect back to the LAN <--> port on the AirPort Express using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
    In this case, the setup of the older AirPort Extreme will require that you have an older version of AirPort Utility installed on your computer. If it is a Mac, then the Mac must be running Leopard (10.5.x), Snow Leopard (10.6.x), or a PC with AirPort Utility could be used to set up and configure the older Extreme.
    f you have the "square" or "flat" version of the AirPort Extreme, then everything becomes much easier. Post back if you do.

  • Can I use Targ. disk mode to add Tiger to a Mac mini G4 from an Intel iMac?

    Hey all,
    Last year I bought a 2.16 GHZ imac (intel duo core), I recently bought a used Mac mini on ebay for a gift for my mother (does not come with any software). She is dying to get an apple so I thought I would get her one. The mini is a 1.25 GHZ G4 PPC with 1 GB RAM and a 100 GB HDD. The person I am buying it from says that she tried to load Leopard and the install failed (something about firmware updates). I would like to add Tiger to it.
    Here is my predicament...
    I have the Tiger discs that came with my iMac. I have since bought and installed Leopard on my iMac. I was assuming that I could install my unused Tiger discs on the mini but have come to find out that is probably not going to work (discs are machine specific?).
    So what I am wondering if there is a way to load Tiger onto the mini from the iMac using Target Disc Mode? If not, where can one find the unit specific version of 10.4? I just feel really dumb and thought that this would be an easier process. My mom's birthday is coming up soon and I just really want to have this done for her before it.
    Another question, is anyone aware of what firmware updates the seller may have been alluding to?
    I really do appreciate your time and assistance in this matter.
    Thank you

    Specifically this is the only order that will work with Target Disk Mode:
    1. Setup the Mac with a broken or incompatible optical drive in target disc mode.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
    2. Boot off Leopard or Tiger on the working optical drive of the non-target mode machine. Connect the two machines via Firewire cable.
    3. Install Leopard or Tiger.
    Since a PowerPC Mac won't boot an Intel Tiger, and the Intel Mac won't boot a PowerPC Tiger, the initial assumption here won't work with Target mode.

  • Can I use have booth Snow Leopard and Tiger on my mac mini?

    I have a newer Mac Mini with OS 10.6.5, and I have a Quark Xpress program that won't work on this newer version. Is there a way to install the older Tiger 10.4.11 and toggle back and forth between the two OS's so I can use my Quark program? I really don't want to spring for the expensive update.

    Hi
    I'm not tired but fair comment all the same. Posting links to other threads is common on these boards as you already know. Only you would know why you think it's off-putting? I personally don't have a problem with it. My response was to the other poster. The link I posted was to give the OP as much information as possible (is that not being helpful?) rather than the simple Yes or No. I made no mention of using search terms or anything else. Forums ToUs already deal with it which OP should have read.

  • Can I use my ibook as the external keyboard for my Mac Mini?

    Using a firewire to connect the two units. Or do I need to buy a separate keyboard to use with the Mini?
    Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    It seems to me that while you CAN connect the mini to your iBook with FW (or ethernet) and run the mini from the iBook's keyboard and display, the performance of the combined system will be the poorest common factor between processor speed and data transfer speeds. In other words, while you will be able to run the mini and it's software, the combined iBook/mini system not going to perform all that well, and aside from possibly giving you access to software your iBook wouldn't be able to run (depending on what processor, speed and RAM it has), using a mini that way is typically not all that cost-effective.
    Keyboards are cheap (I bought a $29.95 wireless USB keyboard/mouse combo from WalMart to use with mine at home), and a display need not cost much at all if you don't already have one.
