Installation on 2009 Mac Mini

Does anyone know if the original 10.5.0 Instal CDs will install on the new Mac Mini hardware? I wanted to run as a server, and want to know if it can be done before I purchase the mini.

I wish you guys did what you are supposed to do before posting directions. I have been a member of this board for over 9 years a former official discussion helper and actively help apple with the progression of these boards. I dont say this to show off but to qualify my position on this.
What was always in the helper ethos was never to suggest anything you have not confirmed yourself or by another source that works, i.e a working procedure. Otherwise state I am not sure if this works i have not done it myself.
This is also laid out in the terms and conditions you agreed to when you became a member of this forum.

So unless you own a new 2009 mac mini you could not test it.
So whoever said check the other install folder is wrong.
The Apple Trainer who said navigate to the Installations folder and run MacOSXserverinstall.mpkg is wrong the installer says "You cannot install Mac OSX Server on this volume. You cannot upgrade this version of Mac OSX". This procedure did work for me in the past on earlier hardware.
The original retail copy of leopard server does not boot the new mac mini it goes into an infinite loop of boot crash, boot crash so on so on.
The only person who got it right is to install this on another mac bring that up date with software update then clone the drive onto the mini.

  • Driver installation failure on 2009 Mac Mini

    After successfully installing Windows XP SP2 on my new 2009 Mac Mini (2 GB RAM, 360GB HD model) I am unable to install the drivers off of the Leopard disk. I insert the disk while in Windows, the driver installation begins, gets to the Broadcom driver and then reboots. Multiple attempts to install the drivers results in the same problem.
    I may have a CD with the drivers from Boot Camp Beta, so I may try to install the drivers from there, but I have doubts they will work.
    Without the drivers I am unable to get on my network while in Windows.
    Any thoughts?

    Well, I solved my own problem. Turns out that when the instructions say to install the drivers by booting into Windows and inserting your Leopard disc, what they really mean is to insert the Installation/Boot disc that came with the computer. A disc that coincidentally does not actually have the word "Leopard" on it at all. I was instead using the Leopard OS disc that came with my purchase of the Leopard OS.
    I reinstalled Windows and used the Mac Mini installation disc to load the drivers and it is now working perfectly.

  • Early 2009 Mac Mini slow with Mavericks

    I bought an early 2009 Mac Mini, and it was really slow with Maverick 10.9.1 installed. I proceed to upgrade the ram to 8GB and replaced the Hard Drive with a WD 500GB Blue Drive. The system is still pegging the CPU to 98%. I am posting 2 EtreChecks.

  • Mountain Lion not installing on 2009 Mac Mini

    I have tried a few times to install the new Mountain Lion OS X onto my 2009 Mac Mini. I have gone through the basic checklists of what to do prior to installing but the install keeps on getting stuck after the original download and restart.
    Once downloaded and the install process has begun it restarts and then the OS X install screen apears and it shows how many minutes it will take to install.
    It remains at 34 minutes, the second time I attempted an install I left the computer on overnight to make sure it wasn't installing very slowly, it was left on for over 12 hours but did not advance in the process.
    Details on the computer:
    2009 Mac Mini
    Software: version 10.7.5
    Processor: 2.26 GHz Intel Core Duo
    Memory: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Hard Drive Space Available: 52.26GB
    I have viewed many other problem threads here based on installing Mountain Lion and the hard disk having problems. My computer will just not advance past the very beginning of the install and I am able to reboot the install disk and retry or just go back to OS X Lion so I can use the computer again.
    Anyone have a tip or something I can look into to see what may be the problem??

    Found this elsewhere after a couple weeks of searching, inserting an old install DVD worked;
    Ralan New Zealand
    This helped meRe: Hang on Install of Mountain Lion 
    Aug 18, 2012 5:40 PM (in response to Vanisle)
    Funnily enough I had the same problem yesterday.. tried 10 times but installer kept hanging at 34mins as well.. I noticed that while it was loading it was accessing the DVD drive.. with nothing in it then hanging.. I put in an installer disk for Snow Leopard, and the ML installer loaded and installed.. don't ask me why, no idea but give it a try..

  • Return 2009 mac mini to factory settings without disk

    Hello I just bought a used 2009 mac mini and it has programs and a partion I dont want    command+R    dose not work I dont think it has a recovery   start up + command only shows one harddrive

    If it's running Mavericks but has no Recovery HD, then you need to do the following:
    Use a Snow Leopard retail DVD:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive

    Composite is analogue with one connector. That is why it is called composite
    Component is analogue with three connections. I think one for each color
    Here is the one for component. I misread composite for component

  • I just had more ram installed in my 2009 mac mini and now there is no audio at all.

    Hi all,
    I have a late 2009 Mac Mini which I update to mavericks. This was not a great idea. The performance has been aweful since upgrading. I finally looked into adding RAM. I was told by the Genius at my local store to buy RAM on line and bring it back to the store for install. I had the Ram installed today and I am satisfied that things function much faster now.
    The problem now is that the computer does not make any noise. I have speakers plugged into the headphone jack but no noise comes out. When the system boots up, there are no beeps or tones audible. The speakers were all working earlier today when I unplugged everything to take the mini to the store. I also plugged the speakers jack into my phone and they work. I was able to connect a bluetooth speaker and play music through it.
    I have tried to reset the PRAM but I"m not sure if I was successful. The instructions I have read for PRAM reset say hold keys until second chime is heard. I heard no chimes at all.
    I am a novice when it comes to computers but I am good at following detailed instructions.
    Any help would be graetly appreciated!

    Yes, this was an Apple retail location.
    I made an appiontment thinking that they would sell and install the RAM. When I got there, the genius looked up the specs for my mini and said they did not sell what I needed. He explained that the mini was older and out-dated. He looked up the specs on what RAM i needed and suggested that I purchase it elsewhere and bring it back for them to install. He suggested that I purchase a new computer but I couldn't justify spending $600 or more. I am a very light user and would only be wasting money on a newer set up.
    It was when I returned that I was informed (by a different tech) that Apple would not be responsible for any damage that might occur during the replacement.
    I decided to proceed anyway thinking that an apple tech was less likely to do damage than I was.
    After taking it in the back and swapping the chips, he brought it out, plugged it in and proceeded to open a bunch of Ram hogging apps, graphing software, and internet sites. I was happy to see that the performance was greatly improved and the spinning ball was not dominating the system.
    After I hooked it back up at home and tried to play some music, I realized that there was no sound.

  • Late 2009 Mac Mini EFI 2.1 Firmware update not needed/already factory installed?

    Here has been my issue of trying to figure out if Mac Mini can handle (and fully use) 8GB of RAM with my current EFI version.  
    I want to upgrade to 8GB on a LATE 2009 Mac Mini that currently has Boot ROM MM31.00AD.B00 and was told to update with EFI Firmware update 2.1 but it does not install saying "This update is not needed on this machine".
    I found various contradicting posts saying that I need my Boot ROM to be MM31.0081.B06 or my machine won't utilize the 8GB fully
    and will slow down in performance and/or crash after the Apple recommended 4GB.
    But here's what I found interesting. Some users have mentioned that the Late 2009 Mac Mini's shipped with updated firmware and don't need this update but could not find a concrete answer as to yes it did ship with it or not.
    Apple doesn't even list a Late 2009 Mac Mini as needing a Firmware update in this list of Firmware updates:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 . Should I just assume that my machine shipped with said update and is capeable of the 8GB? I use this for Logic Pro 9 as a somewhat portable workstation that I can take with me so maxing out the RAM would be ideal for me.
    Any help or clarification would be greatly apprishiated,
    Nelson

    Actually a Late 2009 can take 8GB of RAM and only the Early 2009 needs the EFI update.

    my 2009 mac mini suddenly stopped accepting all discs.  Any disk put in, will eject itself within 3 to 4 seconds.  do I need a new hard drive, or is there something simple I an do to fis this?

  • I have a late 2012 iMac and a late 2009 mac mini.  I want to know if I can take the 8 GB of ram from the iMac and install it in my mac mini.

    I have a late 2012 iMac and a late 2009 mac mini.  I want to know if I can take the 8 GB of ram from the iMac and install it in my mac mini.
    According to Cruicial my mac mini could use:
    Module Size: 8GB Kit (4GBx2)
    Package: 204-pin SODIMM
    Feature: DDR3 PC3-8500
    Specs: DDR3 PC3-8500 • CL=7 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1066 • 1.35V • 512Meg x 64
    Also According to Cruical my iMac uses:
    Module Size: 8GB Kit (4GBx2)
    Package: 204-pin SODIMM
    Feature: DDR3 PC3-12800
    Specs: DDR3 PC3-12800 • CL=11 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1600 • 1.35V
    I want to increase the ram in both computers. 
    So,  can I put the iMac ram in my mac mini and then I'd only have to buy ram for my iMac?  Naturally the ulitmate test will be when I actually install it,  but having an expectation of success or failure will allow me to plan on what to spend money on.
    Thanks,
    Bear

    Thanks for the responses.  I probably wont even try as my priority is Ram for the mac mini.  2 is not enough.  8 for my imac is okay for now. 
    Somewhere I thought I'd heard that faster Ram would simply clock at the lower speed.  It seems that I am incorrect.
    Thanks,
    Bear

  • I've got a late 2009 mac mini with a 320gb hard drive and I want to upgrade it to a 1tb drive or bigger. What HDDs are compatible with my mini?

    I've got a late 2009 mac mini with a 320gb hard drive and I want to upgrade it to a 1tb drive or bigger. What HDDs are compatible with my mini?
    Because of the price I'm not interested in solid state drives, unless of course you want to send me $1,000.
    I've already got external drives but I take my mini back and forth to work and don't want to carry those drives with me.
    I'm not interested in buying a laptop. My mini works great so why waste $1,000 or more when I can buy a 1 to 3 TB hdd for under $300 and have exactly what I want. My late 2009 Mac Mini with a large hdd.
    I went to Crucial's website and they can't tell me what drives fit my Mac Mini. That's where I got my ram (8GB). I'm ONLY interested in name brand quality HDDs.

    The limiting factor in your 2009 mini is the max 9.5mm drive thickness.
    One of the largest capacity 2.5" drives that meets this criteria is the HGST (formerly Hitachi) at 1.5GB
    Any reputable SATA HDD you can find that is not thicker then this 9.5mm will work.

    If you mean AppleCare, then I would believe the answer will be yes.
    First make sure you have a full backup of everything on your Mac, then run, don't walk to your nearest Apple store.
    Note: Due to your Mac now being in computer years, somewhat elderly, Apple may not have the require parts in stock. This will either mean you might have to leave it with them for a number of days, or maybe they will offer you a new Mac mini. While a new Mac mini (if offered) might be a welcome possibility be aware that the new Mac mini no longer has a CD/DVD drive and it comes with Mac OS X Lion and as a result might not run some of your old software.

  • Where can I get an EU power supply for my late 2009 mac mini

    I have a late 2009 mac mini.  The power supply is good for US voltage only.  The new mac mini specs say they can accept 110 - 220 VAC, 50-60 Hz.  Will one of these new power supplies work with my older mini?  Where can I get one, can't seem to locate on the Apple online store.  Moving to France and don't want to leave my mac behind!
    Thanks,
    JSP

    you could get something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-XP18000-Universal-External-Netbooks/dp/B002K8M9H C
    it's about the same cost as an extra battery used to be. there's a range of similiar products at Amazon, i'd check reviews.

  • I'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?

    i'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?

    What is the source & link to this 8 GB kit please?
    Can you count the beeps or flashes?
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable
    In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
    Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.
