Do you have 256 MB Intel core due mac mini?

Hello Users
I checked "about this Mac" after installed OS X cd. I could not believe what I'm seeing the hareware overview as follows:
Hardware Overview:
Machine Name: Mac mini
Machine Model: Macmini1,1
CPU Type: Intel Core Duo
Number Of Cores: 2
CPU Speed: 1.66 GHz
L2 Cache (shared): 2 MB
Memory: 256 MB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
The Memory does recognize just 256 MB, not 512 MB.
Please tell me any reason of this problem and solution if you have. Of course this mac mini is very very new one.
Intel core due mac mini   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I would call AppleCare Support in your area. Clearly, your RAM is not being recognized correctly. Since your computer is new, Apple may need to service it and replace the RAM. Apple buys components, like RAM and the hard drive, on the open market and the RAM you have could be from one of several different vendors. It's possible that the chip you have is defective.

  • The volume keys on my Logitech K760 wireless keyboard do not work with my 2.3 GHz, Intel Core i5 Mac mini which runs Mac OS X 10.7.4. Anyone know how to correct this without having to re-code firmware?

    My first post to the Apple Support Community so it looks like all I wanted to know is covered in the title. The research I have done led me to solutions that I am not comfortable trying for fear of irreparably damaging my keyboard and/or Mac mini. Does anyone have a simpler solution? Please? Hellooooo?
    Just in case the title is too long to show, I have re-pasted here:

    I think Spark cured this for another person and the same problem...

    Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to work the above applications. I thought that i had managed to assign the appropriate function keys in Spark to their volume counterparts, but it had no effect. Below is a screen shot. Do you see anything amiss?

  • Will 1.86ghz Intel Core Duo Mac Mini run the IPhone SDK?

    I kinda asked this as a follow up in another thread. But I really should have asked it in a separate thread here.
    Will a 1.86ghz Intel Core Duo Mac Mini run the IPhone SDK?
    Additionally, it comes with 10.4 and IPhone needs 10.5.4 or better. Can I download and upgrade to 10.5.4 free from Apple or will I have to purchase the upgrade?
    Jerry

    The hardware is more than sufficient. You will have to buy 10.5 (Apple does not have upgrade pricing).

  • Switchable graphics on Intel Core i7 Mac mini

    In the interest of energy savings, I think it would be great to be able to use switchable graphics on my Intel Core i7 Mac mini.  Since the i7 chipset has the Intel HD3000 GPU onboard, this should be possible, but it would probably require some sort of hack or modification to the EFI.  Is anyone aware of a way to do this?  I've searched around online but only find mention of using both Intel HD3000 and discrete graphics with a Hackintosh.
    Thanks

    I understand that this is the limitation that is built-in, but there is always a way around manufacturer limitations.  Anyone else have any info on this?

  • Streaming HD content from Intel Core Solo Mac Mini to new Apple TV

    Hello,
    Here is my query:
    I have an Intel Core Solo Mac Mini connected to my HDTV that I use to play iTunes/DVDs etc. It does this very well. However, the processor isn't fast enough to play HD content, and it drops frames and stutters.
    If I bought a new Apple TV, would that stream the HD content from the Mac Mini with no problems (as it would be the Apple TV that does the processing)?
    Also, would it be recommended (or indeed possible) to connect the Apple TV to the Mac Mini via ethernet, as the Mac Mini is not Airport 801n.
    If the Apple TV can play the HD content without problems, then this would extend the life of my much loved Mac Mini and would mean I wouldn't have to update to a much newer one.
    Thanks for reading

    it is possible and i would recommend the ethernet connection.

  • Increase fan speed on Intel Core Duo Mac mini?

    I have owned a PowerPC G4 based Mac mini for some time now. It's been (and continues to be) a great little computer.
    Just recently I bought the Intel Core Duo version. It too seems like a great little computer.
    However, I've got to admit that the amount of heat the Intel version puts out is staggering. The internal hard disk claims to be running around 119-126 degrees Fahrenheit. I put a thermometer near the vent on the back and it topped out at 120 degrees F. The bottom pad is nearly too hot to touch. This computer is running a distributed computing project.
    Far be it from me to second guess Apple's engineers, but the fan is never turning very fast at all on the Intel mini. It is running, though, and appears to be doing as it was designed to do. (I've seen my PowerPC machine get to rip-roaring during the summer.)
    Running the Apple Hardware Test shows that the Intel mini's fan can speed up quite a bit. I'd like to know if there's a way to request a higher fan speed outside of the Hardware Test. I know I could pop the thing open and just "forget" to reconnect the fan speed sensor wire to command the fan to run at full speed, but I don't want to invalidate the warranty.
    Maybe I'm being silly, but I prefer that my computers be moving enough air from them to keep things cool regardless of noise level.

    The smcFanControl utility is what ended up solving this problem. Turning up the fan speeds just a little bit resulted in a very noticeable cool-down.

  • Do you have experience with FCE on a mac mini?

    Just looking for any comments on experience using a mini for FCE and importing AVCHD files.
    I've got a Mini that I maxed out the ram and dropped in a 7200 rpm drive. I also have an external drive (usb) for my movie files - will go with a firewire drive soon. My camera is a Canon HG10. I'm only doing small videos so budget is my biggest concern.
    I've been using the old iMovie HD (the quality of import/conversion when I tried iMovie08 is really bad - and don't like using it anyways.) I found that 4Media Video Converter has done the best conversions so far (Voltiac dies if the file is too big). But would like better quality - would FCE handle that on this system?
    Thanks in advance,
    Neil

    Hello, I think you're out of luck with the toolbar, but not on 10.9 to check right now, you can change the minimum font size used in Safari Prefereces for web pages.
    Perhaps Zoom will work for you...

  • I have a MacBook (Intel Core 2 Duo) whose screen will not light up!

    I have a MacBook (Intel Core 2 Duo) running on Mac OS 10.5.8. Recently, my display screen will go "nearly" pitch black. "Nearly" because I can still see the outlines of the windows and apps in the background. For a while, I was just restarting my computer or opening and closing it until the screen came back on. Then, my friend told me to use the dimming function to fix it. So far, it has worked, but only if my computer is on brightness level 0-2. Obviously this has been terrible for my eyes and is not a permanent fix.
    I've been trying to find out what piece of my Mac is going to need to be replaced. I think it's a video chip, but I'm not sure.... Has anyone else had this problem and can they tell me how much it cost them to fix it? Thanks! (I'm in Japan with a U.S. bought Mac, so my problem is a bit compounded, but here's hoping!)

    Try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    If that doesn't help, it could be the graphics card.

  • My Macbook Pro with 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo (Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger) can convert to Lion?

    my Macbook Pro with 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo (Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger) can convert to Lion?
    Toyoo

    These are some of the most common Questions (Q) and Answers (A) about Lion:
    Q: What are the system requirements of the Lion upgrade?
    A: Core2Duo, Core i3, i5, i7, and Xeon Intel CPUs with 2 GB of RAM in a Macintosh computer with 2 GB of RAM, and 4 GB (7 GB after installed) for downloading from the Mac App Store (Available in 10.6.6 and later). Unofficially, past upgrades have arbitrarily also required an additional 15% of the hard drive to be free for data.
    Q: What applications are compatible with Lion?
    A: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table provides a nice third party editable listing for people to include the compatible applications. Many of these compatibility entries came from before Lion's release. Please verify they are correct now that it has been released, and help edit it for more accurate data. Be sure to include any update version of Lion post release that you have found is or is not compatible with it, for the help of others who may be upgrading to Lion the first time. Additionally, as it was released, there is no Rosetta. This means any application that is stated to be PowerPC in the System Profiler, will not work with Lion, and needs a comparable application or upgrade to be compatible. The System Profiler is in Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info. Intel and Universal applications are on the whole supported, though may still need some tweaking before every feature is compatible.
    Q: Are there any pitfalls to watch out for?
    A: With all upgrades, backing up your data at least twice has been a given. Hardware can fail independently of downloads and upgrades, though may happen simultaneously. Software may be found to be incompatible that has not been tested with the new upgrade, or combination of other software that might be installed with the upgrade. It is also strongly recommended once your backup is complete, to shut down your computer, remove all but Apple wired keyboard and mouse (notebooks remove all input devices). Then once done, reboot, and go directly to the upgrade distribution system available. Third party system tools, modification, and "maintenance" applications should be verified as compatible, or removed until known to be compatible. Check with developers how to remove if it is essential to use Lion before those applications become compatible. Most "maintenance" tools that deal with system cache, prebinding, are not really maintenance tools. Ask on forum when are the appropriate times to use them before assuming they should be used for upgrades or otherwise.
    Q: How can I get from 10.4 or 10.5 to 10.6.6?
    A: Purchase a 10.6 retail installer from an Apple retail or third party reseller. It has a picture of a Snow Leopard on the DVD, and does not say Upgrade, Dropin, or OEM. Install it, and then install the 10.6.6 combo update from:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
    Q: Is it true that I can only get it from the Mac App Store?
    A: Presently this truth is based on current documentation as of the writing of this article. It may change, but we can't speculate as to its change. It has a better chance of changing if users request something different at:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Q: What limitations might one encounter if it doesn't change?
    A: First off the 7 GB space limitation on the hard disc after it is installed. Secondly, the size of the download file requires significant time, unless you have a high speed broadband connection. Times expected are below -
    4 GB at:
    5Mbps is 2 hours.
    at 1 Mbps is 10 hours.
    at 384 kbps is 27 hours.
    at 56k kbps is 184 hours (nearly 8 days).
    If you include the 10.6.6 combo update of 1.06 GB
    add 29 minutes for 5 Mbps
    145 minutes (2 and 25 minutes) for 1 Mbps
    6 and a half hours for 384kbps
    A 24 hour day and 15 hours (for a total of a minimum of 39 hours) for 56kbps
    Remember the retail 10.6 currently does not include the App Store, and those upgrading from 10.5.8 or earlier will need to both buy the retail 10.6, and download the combo 10.6.6 update, not to mention ensure they have the correct processor and 2 GB of RAM. Finally once it is available, you'll have find out how long approximately it takes to install after the download is complete.
    These times do not include installation time, which on a MacBook Pro 3,1 15" installing on a Firewire 800 Newertech Voyager with WD10ACS-322J80 drive, 10.6.7, took 1 hour and a half to complete the installation from double clicking the install command to the registration screen. These times may vary by connection speeds from a non-dedicated connection, or background application usage of the internet. Any applications running when the installation process begins might interfere with the installation itself, and they should be quit first.
    The installer just before it starts has in its package contents an InstallESD.dmg file a DVD burnable image to install on additional computers in the home without downloading over again. So if you desire to reinstall without an extra internet download, extract that file, by selecting the installer in the dock, and control-clicking it, and revealing it in the Finder. Next Control-mouse click it, and select show package contents. Inside that folder is a Shared Support folder. That's where you find the DMG.
    Q: If I purchased a Mac recently, can I get it cheaper?
    A: Yes, visit http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/ for details.
    Q: When will Lion become available?
    A: It became available July 20, 2011.
    Q: Which Macs can run Lion?
    A: Look at Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info, and see if you meet the Machine ID and RAM requires under the hardware. 2 GB is required for all These Machine IDs will run Lion:
    Mac Mini 2,1 and later
    MacBook 2,1 and later.
    iMac 5,1 and later.
    All MacBook Air.
    MacBook Pro 2,1 and later
    All MacPros.
    The Macs with the Machine IDs below will not run Lion (x can be any number):
    Mac Mini 1,x or PowerMac x,x
    MacBook 1,x
    MacBook Pro 1,x
    iMac 4,x, 3,x, 2,x, 1,x

  • Running OS 10.6.8 on a 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 Mac can I upgrade from Indesign CS5 to CS6?

    Running OS 10.6.8 on a 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 Mac can I upgrade from Indesign CS5 to CS6?

    They do, but what happens when the client(s) move to CC? Of course doing
    so opens a new can of worms for you since 10.6.8 is unsupported for
    anything later than CS6.
    You should start budgeting for some upgrades sooner rather than later.

  • Can you have two apple ids on one mac?

    Can you have two apple ids on one mac? We each have iPhones and want to utilize iCloud.  Is this possible?

    No, in this case the 2 user accounts with its own Apple IDs would be completely seperated.
    If you want to share this things like music and app purchases you will have to to something else.
    1. Create two user accounts on your Mac (user A and user B).
    2. Create two iCloud accounts just for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, etc. (one for user A and one for user B):
    On your Mac (with Mac OS X Lion or Mountan Lion):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud > Create an Apple ID (button in left corner)
    On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (iOS 5 or later):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Get a free @me.com address and create a new Apple ID
    3. It is not recommended because you shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people but you could set up your old Apple ID as an account just for store purchases (Apps, Music, ...) so that everyone of you can manage the purchases in their own library (Access is limited to 10 devices). Therefore you have to setup this "old" ID in Settings of your iOS devices (Settings > iTunes & App Store) and in iTunes on your Mac.
