Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The Mid 2011 Mac mini supports 8 GB of memory officially, but you can install up to 16 GB of RAM, so you can use 2, 4 and 8 GB modules. You can buy more RAM from OWC or Crucial.
If you are looking for memory at a local shop, make sure you buy 1333 MHz DDR3 memory. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4432?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

I have a Mac mini mid 2010. I have ML installed on one of the 500GB disks. I want to install Boot Camp on the 2nd 500GB disk. Mine is XP Professional.

I have a Mac mini mid 2010. I recently installed ML on one of the 500GB disks. I want to install Boot Camp on the 2nd 500GB disk. Mine is XP Professional. My original OS was Snow Leopard Server edition. Please let me have your suggestions and advice. Thank you. I am in India.

Mountain Lion Boot Camp no longer supports Windows XP, it would also only prepare the same physical disk you run the Boot Camp Utility from i.e. the Mountain Lion disk.
See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4818#3
I suggest you start off with the second drive formatted as a single HFS+ volume with a GUID partition scheme, then install Snow Leopard on it. Then boot with Snow Leopard and run its version of Boot Camp utility, when you tell it to prepare the (second) drive you can tell it to allocate the minimum to Snow Leopard and the maximum to Windows. Then you can install Windows XP.
Note: Boot Camp Utility was not included with Snow Leopard Server.

Does a 500 GB SSD work in a Mac Mini (mid 2011)?

I have a Mac Mini (mid 2011), 2.5 GHz and 4 GB of memory.
The iOS app called MacTracker says that this model is "configurable to 256 GB solid-state drive or 256 GB solid-state drive and 750 GB (7200-rpm) hard drive".
I was thinking about buying a Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Single Unit Version Internal Solid State Drive. My doubt is: will it work in my Mac Mini or the maximum storage must be 256 GB? If it runs a 500 GB SSD, a Samsung EVO SSD would be a possible (or a perfect) choice?

The info from MacTracker brings up the options available in a Configuration to Order
at the time the product was new; so that tells people who may have found their unit
bought with odd specs, such upgrade may be due to a CTO Apple factory upgrade.
Other options that can work, of even higher spec capacity, can be researched in
such mac-centric sites as macsales.com and others who have a reputation for
customer service and quality products; many have information on their sites...
Doesn't hurt to ask. OWC macsales may even have an online chat. Info on how
to upgrade Apple products with later parts (out of warranty, etc) is available in
their page as well as iFixit.com guides. Everymac.com also offers spec info.
Good luck & happy computing!

Mac Mini mid 2011 Mini Dvi to VGA problems

I have a mac mini mid 2011 and I have to connected to a display in work. The display only has a VGA entrance, so i bought a mini dvi to vga adapter from my local mac store, but when i connected to the display everything looks odd, the whole display has an odd purple look, I have tried to use a different VGA cable but keep having the same problem, I even tried a different display with the same results, anybody knows why this happens and how to fix it?

Your welcome!
On your end before returning the Adapter,
try > Resetting the System Management Controller
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
3. Wait fifteen seconds.
4. Attach the computer's power cord.
5. Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
and > About NVRAM and PRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.
then if that doesn't help, return the adapter and explain the problem to the Apple tech person at the store.

Mac Mini mid 2011 volume drops

I have a Mac Mini (Mid 2011) and recently the volume output from the headphone jack to external speakers cuts out randomly. I can get it back by raising or lowering the volume. Any thoughts on a fix?

Hi,
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Any change?
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

Mac mini mid 2011 and logic pro 9 in 64-bit?

Hi,
I have a mac mini mid 2011 with a 2.7HGz intel core i7 processor and 8 GB of RAM. I have been using Logic Pro 9 in 32-bit mode and tried switching to 64-bit mode. I unchecked the "open in 32-bit mode" in the "get inf" section, but logic still opens in 32-bit mode.
My question is: Can my computer run Logic Pro 9 in 64-bit mode???
Thankyou!

Hi there jdtay2,
It looks like your model of Mac Mini does have a 64-bit processor according to the article "How to tell if your Intel-based Mac has a 32-bit or 64-bit processor"
Processor Name
32- or 64-bit
Intel Core Solo

As far as opening Logic Pro in 64-bit mode, you will first want to make sure that you have the most updated version, as 64-bit support was added in the v9.1 update. The article below has more information about Logic Pro and 64-bit mode.

Mac mini (Mid 2011) inexplicably running slow, especially videos, despite what I think is sufficient memory.

I have a Mac mini (Mid 2011). It has become slow in some ways even though I have 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory and almost 250GB of free storage. I recently installed Yosemite 10.10.1 (14B25) but I had noticed the slow down prior to that. Notably, videos no longer run smoothly. Instead, there are brief pauses in playback. I initially thought it was a problem with streaming videos but then found the same problem playing TV shows and movies downloaded from the iTunes store.
There are now also lags for starting up certain programs and many programs seems sluggish once open. Not sure what could have caused the slow down since I don't even use the computer at issue very much and haven't recently installed any new software. No programs launch with log-in and all notifications are turned off. Any ideas? If there's a problem specifically related to video, I'd be interested in hearing that too. I use a Samsung monitor but it and everything else about my computer used to work perfectly and videos ran smoothly until fairly recently.

Mac Mini Mid 2011 Ram Upgrade to Clock 1600mhz...?

I intend to upgrade the Memory on my Mac Mini Mid 2011 to 8gb. Question here is its currently running Two 1gb Chips at 1333mhz and I was wondering if I could get Two 4gb Chips at 1600mhz and have them mounted...?
Is that possible or will I have to stick to a 1333mhz Module...?

Stick with the recommended RAM for the computer.......
.....make sure your mini will not go past 8GB.....

I had made a fresh install but it works realy the same.
Before update to Mountain Lion , it was working fine.
Can someone help me
Thanks in advance.

You don't need an expensive USB keyboard, a £10 Logitech UK - Keyboard K120 will work just fine for booting into the Recovery Partition to Repair or Reinstall OS X.

My Mac Mini (Mid 2011) doesn't connect to Time Capsule in 5GHz Network. This WiFi Network don't appear in the WiFi list. What's Wrong?

My Mac Mini (Mid 2011) doesn't connect to Time Capsule in 5GHz Network. This WiFi Network don't appear in the WiFi list. What's Wrong?

Oh yes, & 5 GHz doesn't do walls very well at all.
GHz and Network Range
The higher the frequency of a wireless signal, the shorter its range. Thus, 2.4 GHz networks cover a substantially larger range than 5 GHz wireless networks. In particular, the higher frequency wireless signals of 5 GHz networks do not penetrate solid objects nearly as well as do 2.4 GHz signals, limiting their reach inside homes.

HT204144 I am on mac mini (mid 2011) and iphone 6 and trying to use airdrop but it is not working.

I followed all instructions but under mac finder, air drop is simply blank. I have set-up everyone on airdrop on iphone 6 in control center. Am I missing something. I am also on same network.

I read this paragraph:
In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed and your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model. To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need one of the Mac models listed below and OS X Lion or later.
MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
*The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.
--end--
So I am using mac mini mid 2011 and according to this line, I may not use it and need mac 2012, right? but why air drop is showing here on my mac mini is due to fact that transfer between 2 mac computers is possible if one is even of less than 2012 make.
I think I am clear now. Thank you and see if you have any thought on this?

Mac mini (mid 2011) no airplay icon

Hey all, I just got a apple TV 3rd GEN, and can't seem to see this airplay icon on the top of my screen? I got a mid 2011 mac mini with a 2.7GHz i7 osx lion 10.7.5.
everything works with connecting itunes to apple TV but I want to do airplay mirroring.
is there something wrong with my hardware ?
thanks for you time,
sath

What you need is OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) to be able to Airplay from your Mac mini mid 2011.
Requirements for AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion
An Apple TV
Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) with software update v5.0 or later. See How to update Apple TV software.
Supported MacsAirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion takes advantage of the hardware video encoding capabilities of 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core processors. Hardware video encoding allows AirPlay Mirroring to efficiently deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models have processors that support AirPlay Mirroring:
iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)

Mac Mini (mid 2011) Display Issues

Hello.
Recently I started having some issues with the display from my Mac Mini (mid 2011, core i7, 8GB, OS X 10.9). During usage the screen started flickering erratically and then went blank. I turned the Mac off and found that it was very hot so I removed the bottom cover and the RAM chips and gave it a bit of a clean (it was quite dusty) then I allowed it to cool before putting it back together. After putting it back together it worked for about a day until it had the same problem.
Now on startup the following occurs:
1. On the start-up screen (where the Apple logo is displayed) the screen is overwhelmingly pink (display RGB settings are fine), except for the left half of the Apple logo which remains grey.
2. After progressing through the start-up screen the display goes white and nothing further happens.
I have checked the display and it works fine. The HDMI cable is not the issue either.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this and a possible fix?
If it is of any help the monitor is an ASUS MT276H.
Thanks.

So I have tried a SMC reset and all that has changed is the front indicator light is off and the fan has kicked it up to 11. Please find a picture of the display I described earlier at the following link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wirrc01xut3p8tx/Photo%201-12-2013%2010%2054%2004%20pm. jpg (sorry it was taken with an iPhone 4).
I have never performed an SMC reset before but it seems like it is taking a long time and/or not working. I'm at a loss to what this might be.

Mac mini mid 2011 won't boot

This morning I found my Mac mini mid 2011 frozen. I shut it down by holding the power button.
Now it does not boot. When I turn it on I don't hear the usual chime sound or any other beeps. I can hear the hard drive powering on and the fan starts to work at full speed. Nothing appears on the monitor. No output signal at all.
I have tried disconnecting all cables, press power button for five seconds and the. Try to boot again. No luck...
Any ideas?? I loads of work to do and I am loosing hope. No apple stores in Greece to take it in...

I've tried everything including SMC rreset. No luck.
One other clue is that if try to boot up without Ram installed, it recognizes that ram is missing and beeps
so to summarize the symptoms:
1. Computer has power
2. No chime sound or any other beep when I power the computer on
3. Fan works at full speed
4. No output display signal
5. I can hear the hard drive powering on
6. The computer recognizes if you try to boot it without ram and beeps

Mac mini mid 2011 missing apple logo slide up animation at logon in Mountain Lion!

Here is a video I have found on Youtube to show the animation for those who didn't know, also showing a macbook pro which is missing this animation (Although in the video the OS is Lion but this is not the main point of this thread). the Apple logo gently slides up and the user image and password field appears:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztpCNmDYDZ4
I have installed Mountain lion on my Macbook Pro 13inch Early 2011 first and I loved this little animation which made the boot even more beautiful.
However when I installed Mountain Lion on my Mac mini mid 2011, I had to see that the animation is missing.
Luckily I have an iMac 21,5 incher Late 2009 as well, so I updated the OS and the animation was present on the iMac.
So I'm wondering if this is a bug or is there any reason why this nice animation is not visible on my Mac mini?
I did a Clean install as well to make sure it's not the upgrade's fault and I got the same result.
Both my Mac mini and Macbook Pro has SSD. My iMac has a regular HDD.
There was a thread opened about this issue where they said the animation issue would be solved in Mountain Lion:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18890484#18890484
Well it was solved for my Macbook Pro and iMac seemingly but not for my Mac mini which is the latest from the family so it makes me sad that my newest computer is missing out on this little eyecandy. (Also I use the Mac mini most the time, so I miss this animation greatly)

Same problem here. My MacBook Air (mid, 2012) doesn't have the issue and the animation is smooth. The problem is with my Mac mini (Early 2009). When it boots the apple logo shows up, then the spinning circle and then the screen goes black and the login screen appears afterwards with no animation.

I have a mac mini mid 2011, this device have; 2,3GHz and 2 Gb Memmory.I want to upgrade the memory and i need the list of supported memory modules
