HT1338 can i install mac os x server on a mac mini?

I would like to know if i can install a mac os x server on the latest mac mini : http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MD388LL/A?
I just dont see where the 200 USD difference between model goes to ? !!!
Plus I would like to upgrade the RAM to 16gb (using corsair memory) , as apple RAM upgrade is way to much...
Thank you
Alex

The software is no different, you can just purchase server off of the app store. Where the extra money goes for the server mini, is the second internal hard drive. if you are just running a home server or a simple set up of sorts, the app will do you just fine for 19.99.
As with the RAM upgrade. as long as the Corsair memory you have is the same bus speed(1600MHz DDR3), it will work fine.

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    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. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Actually, you cannot download Snow Leopard. You downloaded a Snow Leopard updater.

  • Can I install Adobe InDesign CS5 on a Power Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8?

    Can I install Adobe InDesign CS5 on a Power Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8?

    first thing to try is reset InDesign:
    delete the preference file located here:
    system > users > home folder > library > peferences > com.adobe.InDesign.plist
    then repair the hard drive:
    shut down the Mac
    restart - then press shift key immediately after the chime
    keep pressing shift untill the Apple logo appears
    let the Mac boot to the desktop - it will take longer to boot as it is repairing the hard drive
    when desktop appears, restart the Mac normally

  • In MAC 10.5.8 I see that latest Java version is 1.5.0_30, can I install latest Java 1.6 version in MAC if yes, how can I install that?

    In MAC 10.5.8 I see that latest Java version is 1.5.0_30, can I install latest Java 1.6 version in MAC if yes, how can I install that?

    This is a User-to-User forum.  We do not have any knowledge into what Apple will or will not do.
    However, based on past history, it is unlikely Apple will invest anything except critical security updates into Mac OS X 10.5.  I could be wrong.
    If you really REALLY need Java 1.6 on your Mac, you should consider upgrading to a newer version of Mac OS X.

  • Can I install windows XP in bootcamp if my mac has 10.9.2?

    can I install windows XP in bootcamp if my mac has 10.9.2? Should I just spend the money to get windows 7 and just chaulk it up to more money wasted on gaming?
    Thanks

    No.
    You can run it with a virtual machine. If you want to use Boot Camp you need a newer version of Windows.

    I just purchased Elements. Can I install it both on my imac and mac book air with the same serial number?

    Yes. You can install v12 on as many machines as you like, but only two can be activated at any one time. You should not be using them concurrently.

  • Can I install Linux for Windows on my Apple Mac and afterwards use old windows programs as PageMaker on my new Mac. If yes where can I find Linus windows for Mac

    Can I install Linux for Windows at my new Mac and afterwards use old Windows programs as Photo Shop and PageMaker on my Mac? If yes where at the Internet can I find Linux for Mac and Windows?

    What is your definition of a "Linux for Windows" ?
    There is Linux like Ubuntu which can be installed on a Mac
    See the UbuntuForuns here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam
    And there is Microsoft Windows which can be installed and used on a Mac with Apples BootCamp http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ or through Virtualization apps like Parallels, VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox.
    Windows Programs don't run in a Linux only in Windows.

  • Mac OS X Server, High Availability, Mac Mini

    Hi All,
    Currently running Mac OS X Server on a mac mini, I'm looking for some ways to make that mac mini "server" a high availability system for my office.
    The first thing i will change is to install the operating system on a external firewire 2 disks RAID 1 hard drive : http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?pid=10967
    Then I'm thinking how to make sure the rest of the mac mini will be running all the time as well.
    That's why I'm wondering if it's possible to make everything double : 2 minis with 1 RAID hard drive each.
    Each complete set would be linked to create somewhat of fail-over system : If one set woes the other one can take over with exactly the same data.
    A bit like what it's been done here :
    http://homepage.mac.com/pauljlucas/personal/macmini/cluster.html but with OS X Server instead of Linux.

    Hi lulu62-
    I am working on a similar project with Minis so I will be keeping an eye on your site.
    In addition to Camelot's suggestions, do not forget to have a robust UPS with Automatic Voltage Regulation capable of supporting all of your gear for any expected down time.
    The Mini is excellent because you can power it for a long time on a healthy-sized UPS.
    Luck-
