How do I upgrade os x 10.6.8 with a 1gb mac mini

how do I upgrade os x 10.6.8 with a 1gb mac mini to something higher (eg LION 10.7)?

Only the 2009 and newer  Mac Minis can go higher than Lion
The 2006 can only go to Snow Leopard
The 2007 only goes to Lion
For > Lion you need at least 2G, more than 4 is highly recommended

    If it has more than one OS installed you use either System Preferences>Startup Disk, or hold the Option/alt key at bootup to select which one.

    How do I upgrade a Photoshop Elements 13 Catalog with Light room 5.6 ? It only sees an older PE 12 Catalog.

    At the moment, you cannot upgrade a PSE13 catalog to Lightroom. Perhaps when Lightroom 5.7 is released, this will be possible (and perhaps not)

    Have you tried a wired keyboard to turn on the BT system?  Macs can require some special key-combinations that *must* be seen before the OS starts and BT sometimes does not activate before the OS.

    lllaass speaks the truth. Macs have always been "plug & play" with everything except cameras. That's the one area where you MUST have compatible hardware or you're simply S.O.L.

  • How do I transfer my pictures from my iMac to my new Mac Mini?

    How do I transfer my pictures from my iMac to my new Mac Mini?

    Are they in an iPhoto Library? If so:
    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • How can I upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit on Mac Pro bought in 2011?

    I was able to install Windows 7 32 bit version on Mac Pro bought this year with OS 10.6.7 version with bootcamp.  How can I upgrade it to Windows 7 64 bit?

    Custom clean install is the only way - you can't 'upgrade' 32-bit OS to 64-bit, they are different kernel and drivers.

    2)  Check that the RAM is seated correctly.
    3)  Try it with only the Original RAM installed.

  • How to connect a new 27" LED Cinema Display to an older Mac Mini?

    I bought a 27" LED Cinema Display (no Thunderbolt) but don't know how to connect it to my wife's older Mac Mini. I presume the Atlona adaptor is the solution, but I haven't bougt one yet.
    robbert keegel

    The cord attached to the display splits into a Mini DisplayPort, USB, and a MagSafe connector (for powering a laptop).
    There is a separate connector on the back of the display for the AC power cord.
