I don't understand how much memory a mac mini has please help!

I feel really stupid asking this, but I can't understand how much memory a Mac Mini has...
512MB of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300), supports up to 2GB
I hope that doesn't mean it only holds 2GB...but I don't know.
PLEASE HELP ME! I need to get a Mac soon before my PC dies again.
Mac Mini

Hi opera_rocker
I think that you may have found yourself in a little bit of a pickle regarding technical hardware terms, so I'll try and clear things up for you.
The Mac Mini comes as standard with 512MB of RAM (Read Only Memory). RAM is a little stick that is built into the computer that supplies the software with all the virtual memory that it needs to accomplish tasks. The more RAM that you have in your computer, the faster software will run, and the more things you can have going on at the same time. You never actualy use RAM for personal files and folders. The Mac Mini will accept a total of 2GB of RAM, which comes as an optional upgrade from Apple, however, 1GB is more than adequate.
All of your files and folders are kept on your hard drive, like that in your 30GB iPod. Everything that you use on your computer, whether it be Word Processing software, or Games for example, are stored on the hard drive. The Mac Mini can come with either a 60GB, or 80GB Hard Drive depending on which model you decide to buy. That's plenty more space than you have on your actual iPod and you will most probably never seem to run out of room!
Hope that I may have been of help!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Windows media is corrupt, I have QuickTime but don't know how to make the change, can you please help me?

Hi, I am new to you and I am having problems with my Windows Media. I ran a fix it test on it and it came back saying that the player is corrupt and can not read the dll. Plus I have gotten pop-ups saying the script on the page had quit running 2 or 3 times, that's what made me check it. I have Quick Time on here, I have never used it before. How do I properly go about making the the switch? Do I delite the Windows Media? Do I need to do anything to QuickTime other than just open it? Thank you so much for your time & help.

When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer? Your iTunes library does not have an email address. An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases. Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID. In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password). That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost.
NOTE: If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID.
For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

How do i find how much free space my iMac has? Its running MAC OS v10.6.8

I can't see anywhere where I can find out how much free soace my iMac has, any help much appreciated!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have different ways to do it. First, you can use Disk Utility (it's in /Applications/Utilities). Open that application, choose "Macintosh HD" in the sidebar and free space will show up at the bottom of that window.
If you have Lion or Mountain Lion, open  > About this Mac > More Info > Storage.
Another way is using Finder. First, open a Finder window, select Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and mark "Hard disks". Then, Macintosh HD will appear in the desktop, so choose it and press the Space key

How do I see how much memory is being taken up by programs and how do I delete the ones I don't need.

Is there a way I can see how much memory each program is taking up and then how do I delete the ones I don't want to use.

Download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it. It will show all of your files and the respective sizes. Delete and transfer what you do not want or need on your HDD.
Ciao.

I have IMac OSX 10.9.4, 4GB,Processor 3.06 with Intell2Duo. I would like to check for Malware. I run a TechTool Pro 6 every month and that comes up great.
When check how much memory I am using, with only Safari open I am using 3.9 and more of her 4.0 memory. She is very. very slow in processing. I had 4000
trash to clean out and it took her over an hour to expel. Also for some reason Safari will not allow me to click on a link, in my G-mail, and let it go to the page.
It has a sign saying a pop-up blocker is on and will not let me do it. I must open the stamp to look at my e-mails and if I have redirected link now I can do it.
I have not changed my preferences so where is this pop-up blocker?
I have looked at preferences on Safari and Google, which I do not understand Google, and do not see where this blocker could be.
Malware is something I want to make sure is not on my computer. Tech Tool Pro 6 is all I know of and it does not detect Malware.

How much memory do I have left?

Just wondering how I go about checking how much memory I have left on my comp. I have tiger!
thanks

Shouldn't it show up when I search for it in spotlight?
Yes it should... though I don't trust Spotlight myself, I do believe you're not seeing it.
Just double checking, as there can be more than one Application folder... Is this the Applications folder you see when you double click n the Desktop Icon for your HDD?
Are you an Admin User?
If it's missing, Get Pacifist...

I have an iMac 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I'd like to be able to use iCloud, but need Lion which is too big. How much memory can I add? And will this upgrade allow me to install Lion?

I have an iMac 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I'd like to Lion, in order to use iCloud, but the specs indicate I don't have enough memory. How much memory can I add? And will this upgrade allow me to install Lion?

I believe your model iMac can address 3 GB RAM; the minimum for Lion is 2 GB - however, that is an absolute minimum for very light use. You would be much happier with a minimum of 4 GB.

(You can install 4 GB, but it will only be able to address about 3.1 - 3.2 GB)

How much memory do lyrics take up on ur ipod?

hi everyone.
well the heading says it.. how much memory do lyrics take up?coz i was reading this article and it explained how to put lyrics into ur ipod.but i mean its like pictures i guess so it should have memory but how much?? just wondering and thanks in advance

Lyrics are just text files, so I doubt they take up much space. I have both lyrics and album covers on mine, and no storage problem. In fact, I've also got the full text files of "Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth" on mine. Sherlock only took about 500k for the WHOLE BOOK.
So don't worry about running out of space for lyrics...

How much memory do I need for iPhone?

Before I purchase an iPhone 4s I would like to know how much memory I might need. I will have some songs though currently I use only about 2GB on old iPod. I will no doubt have some pictures and perhaps a video and, of course, some apps though I really don't know how many. I tentatively planned to buy 16GB. My daughter is shooting for 32GB. Suggestions and guidelines? Thanks

Hi, from what you have said above, the 16GB iPhone 4S seemsmore than enough space for a user with the outlined above, bearing in mind youdo not necessarily get 16GB, as there is the operating system and otherprogrammes that use memory, for example I have a 64GB iPhone 4S and it comeswith 57.42 GB or storage.
If you purchase a 16GB and you do seem to be running out ofspace, you can always back up your data to a computer and it can be deletedfrom your phone - meaning you have more space. If you are worried about havingthis problem 32GB will probably be the best option and will be more thanenough.
Hope this helps, any further questions feel free to ask, andI will try to answer them.
