Is there a way to upgrade my mac mini's video memory?

I want to have a new video/graphics card for my mac mini, but i'm not sure if it's possible, and if it is possible how to do it.
Please help!!

16Gb is the maximum amount of memory the MacMini will support. I have a Mid 2011 MacMini server that I have swapped the 2 500GB spinning hard drives and Replaced them with a 1.5TB spinning Hard Drive & a 240GB SSD (ssd being my boot drive) the SSD with mac a night a day difference in the day to day operation of your mac mini.
Here is some of what I have done to my Mini:

  • Mac Mini 'shared' video memory?

    I'm strongly considering a Mac Mini. I recently picked up a G4 eMac and fell pretty hard for it but want an affordable step up from a G4 'cause I'm a (soon to be ex) PC 'power' user and require a certain amount of zap-zing-pow for the price. The Mac Mini says 256mb shared memory for its nVidia 9400 video hardware. Does this mean it uses 256mb of system memory? IE - a 2gb Mac Mini is really 1.8gb because 256mb is being used for video?

    That is correct. However, Apple says that the mini supports 4 GB of RAM. 3rd parties report that it supports 8 GB of RAM. YMMV.
    What do you mean by "power user"?

  • My mac mini is 2007 and has a core duo so I cannot install lion which needs a 2 core duo. Does this exclude me from the iCloud or is there a way I can upgrade my mac mini?

    Mac mini duo core. I want to join the iCloud as I have MobileMe . However my mac mini has a dou core and not a 2 duo core I cannot by the lion app to install. Is there anyway I can upgrade my mac mini to 2 duo core? Or get the iCloud installed any other way?

    You must have Lion to use iCloud, although you can still access iCloud.com for the web services. Your email is unaffected.

    If you're using a PowerPC Mac, no.
    If you're using an Intel Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

  • I am currently running 10.7.5 on my macbook. I tried downloading Mountain Lion application...but it says 'error'',,,is there another way to upgrade my OS?

    I am currently running 10.7.5 on my macbook. I tried downloading Mountain Lion application...but it says 'error'',,,is there another way to upgrade my OS?

    First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion.
    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.

  • Is there any way to upgrade to a newer version of os x snow leopard if my computer isn't compatible with mavericks?

    Is there any way to upgrade my software version? I've tried downloading java or upgrading it and it won't let me because my software isn't compatible. I was ready to install Mavericks when all of the sudden my computer isn't compatible with OS X Mavericks. Does anybody have any solutions besides buy a new computer?

    If your computer isn’t compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.      
    Computer Compatibility - Lion                       Lion
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.      
    Application Compatibility
    You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the  menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications.
    If you have applications that you want to use that aren’t compatible, you can retain Snow Leopard and create a new partition to install Lion on or you can run Snow Leopard  server in a virtual mode.

  • Is there a way to upgrade IPad 1 to iOS 6?

    My iPad 1 running on iOS 5.1.1. My applications are frequently crashing. Is there a way to upgrade IPad 1 to iOS 6?

    None of us are going to argue with you, but hardware changes, and more rapidly these days. The original iPhone doesn't run very much at all, and of course it can't even run 3G. But some people are happy with it. Non-Intel Macs can't run the latest OSX.
    Apple needs to be competitive by making the fastest and most modern tablet it can, and that means within 3 or so years what I have now could be antiquated. That also means Apple has to make a decision about whether to try to force the operating system to continue to be backwards compatible which may have speed issues, for example, for those who have current hardware.
    iOS 5.1.1 is very advanced. It's only really missing a few things from iOS 6.1, some of which a LOT of people don't like. Maps is one. The loss of Google Maps is another.
    There is nothing you can do. Most Apps don't let you update if it is incompatible with your current iOS, so you should be all right.

    I am currently using Mavericks.

    A hard drive replacement doesn't void warranty on a MacBook Pro, so you can replace the hard drive without worrying about its warranty. However, you have to be sure of what you are doing, because if you damage any part, you will void warranty.
    First look for a hard drive. I recommend you to visit OWC for hard drives > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ 7200 rpm hard drives will give you extra performance.
    Then, just reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 Hold Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your Mac is starting, format the hard drive with Disk Utility and reinstall OS X or restore a Time Machine backup

    I have OSX 10.5...is there any way to upgrade Itunes so I can sync my new Iphone5c?

    Syncing the iPhone 5C requires at least Mac OS X 10.6.8. Mac OS X 10.6 DVDs are available at the online Apple Store; they require a Mac with an Intel CPU and at least 1GB of RAM.

  • I have aperture 3.4.4, which does not work with Yosemite. Is there a way to upgrade my Aperture version, or do I have to buy Aperture again?

    I have aperture 3.4.4, which does not work with Yosemite. Is there a way to upgrade my Aperture version, or do I have to buy Aperture again?

    If you own any version of Aperture 3, you are entitled to a free update. Only it can be tricky, if your version is not associated with your AppleID, because you bought it with a serial number.
    Have you checked, if you can see an update at the App Store Updates page? Or an "Accept" button on the Purchases tab of the app Store?
    Contact the AppStore Support and request a redeem code, to be able to buy the update for free. You will need to provide a proof op purchase of Aperture.
    Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/
    Apple sent redeem codes for Aperture 3.6 to several users who had bought the version on disks, if they could provide a serial number.  See for example this discussion: (The post marked as the solution)
    Re: Aperture update not possible after update to Yosemite
    It is really unfortunate you missed the window of opportunity with Mavericks MacOS X 10.9.5, when the update was easy.

  • I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

    This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
    The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
    Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
    I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
    http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

    My ipod touch is currently running ios 4.2.1 I would like to run ios 5 or 6. When I try to update it on itunes, it tells me my software is up to date. Is there another way to upgrade the IOS?  Do I have to go to Settings>General>reset>Erase all content and settings before I can get the newer ios?  If this is the case, how can I ensure all my content is backed up prior to erasing it all. Is there anyway to check to ensure the backup is complete and comprehensive?  THanks!
