Mac mini 2007- Yosemite

Hey!! I have a Mac mini mid 2007. I was told by an apple advisor, that if I upgraded my ram too, two gbs. That I could install Yosemite, is this true?? If so, can I just install it straight from the App Store , while I'm running OS X Lion??

Upgrade to OS X Yosemite.
Free on the Mac App Store.
1. Check your Mac hardware.

2010 Mac mini to yosemite

I am considering my 2010 Mac mini to Yosemite, is there any benefit

There have been varying reports it sounds like on saving the installer package so you can avoid redownloading 5GB installer to use again on same or multiple Macs you have.
From MacIntouch:
The procedure for making multiple installs from one download is the same as earlier download only upgrades.
After the massive 5+ GB download, the first screen is the launch of the installer.
Go to the "file" menu and quit then, before anything else.
Look in the applications folder for "install OSX yosemite" app or such.
Make a copy somewhere else.
The installer deletes this one when done.
You then make copies to other machines for installs there.
Be sure to use copies, as the installer deletes each when done.

Mac mini 2007 Intel Core Dou Intall problem

I have an Apple Mac mini (2007, Intel Core Duo), with Mac OS X Leopard (10.5). I installed this software via the original installer DVD, but i could intall combo update (it downloaded it, and after restarting it stops on the blue screen with the blue loading line [but it didnt load], it tried to install allnight long), and Snow Leopard (10.6) also.
Hardware Overview:
Model Name:     Mac mini
Model Identifier:     Macmini2,1
Processor Name:     Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:     1.83 GHz
Number Of Processors:     1
Total Number Of Cores:     2
L2 Cache:     2 MB
Memory:     1 GB
Bus Speed:     667 MHz
Boot ROM Version:     MM21.009A.B00

And if you want to install Lion, first read this tip:

Unfortunately your Mac Mini is too old for 10.8 or later.

Does a mac mini 2007 with osx 10.6.8 supports 10.7?

I have a friend who has a Mac Mini 2007 with osx 10.6.8, and he wants to upgrade 10.7 for different reasons, does the mac mini supports it?
Processor: Core 2 duo 2GHz
RAM: 2 DDR2

Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

My mac mini 2007 will support 10.5

HI ,
Please let me know whether my Mac Mini 2007 will support Mac OS X v10.5 ?
Br
sarath

Pre-August 28, 2009 Macs will support Mac OS X 10.5, but maybe not the version you are looking for. October 26, 2007 Apple released 10.5. Any Macs released new after that date with a hardware refresh will either require 10.5.1, 10.5.4, or 10.5.6 retail up till December 15, 2008 (and may only be compatible with one of the three if released after one of those three), or the prebundled 10.5 installer disc that came with them to install 10.5. A prebundled Mac Mini installer disc will typically tell you what system it came with. If it doesn't match the age of your Mac Mini, you may need to call AppleCare to find the correct disc for a nominal charge.
You can't install 10.5 on top of 10.6.5. You can though install it on an external hard drive connected to a Mini older than the installer disc that fits that 10.5's system requirements.
You can't install the 10.5 installer from another Mac Mini of a different age, or another Mac on the Mac Mini itself.

Mac Mini (2007 model) Ethernet and 802.11N dead

Wow, talk about frustrating...my 13 month old 2007-model Mac Mini just crapped out with a couple of issues. The Ethernet networking reports the cable is unplugged, even though it's not, and the 802.11 wireless networking won't connect at N speeds. Of my four Macs, this was the only one without AppleCare, so no warranty help to be had.
Anyways, to troubleshoot the system, I've verified that the Ethernet cable I am using provides connectivity on another machine, and that other machines in the same workspace can connect to the 802.11n router via "n" speeds. So it's not anything external to the Mac Mini.
I also booted from a different OS X version via external USB drive, and the Ethernet and Wireless "n" still display the same symptoms. So it sounds like hardware, since a software glitch shouldn't appear with a different boot drive, right?
Verify disk and repair permissions also performed, with no anomalies noted.
System Profiler shows the Ethernet port is there, but in following troubleshooting "cable unplugged" errors tips in another thread I tried removing it from the networking pref pane, and re-adding it, but Ethernet doesn't show as an addable option anymore.
I am able to connect via 802.11g, so the machine's not totally dead connectivity-wise, but as home theater media server, I am sure going to miss the rapid file transfer rates of Ethernet or "n" wireless.
So, before I write this machine off as crippled, can anyone think of anything else I might try to get Ethernet working again? I suppose a USB-to-ethernet dongle would be better than Wireless-"g", but it's still less than ideal.
On another note, oddly, several of my programs started complaining about not being registered, which is what lead me to try permissions and disk verifications. Pretty strange.
Any ideas appreciated.

Ah, you're right about the N not being supported. Color me stupid on that one...silly me assumed that since I'd only had it a year, and N was around on my other Macs purchased around then, that it was there, but of course the design was a year old already. I'll update the thread post to drop that part.
As for the cable, I sort of tried two other cables already. My actual setup is to run the Mini to a gigabit switch, then the switch runs a CAT6 cable 50' to the router. I used two different cables out of the switch, and then plugged the long run directly into the Mini. No go. I guess not a big issue to unplug the Mini and move it to another room. I'll give it a go, but take note that it's been working fine on this same cable/switch/router set-up for a year. Odd that it would suddenly change.
Thanks for the tips, I'll post back with results when I get home and can check it out.

My Mac Mini running yosemite 10.10.3 constantly freezes

my mac mini runs slow & freezes after updating to 10.10.3

Hi,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your Mac is not running as quickly as you would expect and you noticed this after the most recent update. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the steps outlined in the attached article below.

Forgot password mac mini 2007

I have a Mac Mini off 2007 but I have forgot the password.
It`s the password you put in when you are deleting an item,and it requires your password to delete it.
Thanks in Advance
Kettle4

You need to use the instructions in the link under the topic "
Resetting a password without an additional account"
Since you do not have another administrator account to sign into. You start by :
Start up from a Mac OS X Install disc (one whose version is closest to the version of Mac OS X installed). Usually, you can start from the disc by putting it in your computer, restarting, and holding the C key. Or, put it in the computer and click the Install or Restore icon you see in the disc's main window (after which the computer will start from the disc without you needing to hold C). Or, you can use Startup Manager or the Startup Disk preference pane to select the Install disc.

Mac mini 2007

Hi. Bought a mac mini from 2007 but all got was a upgrade cd with 10.5 on it and the seller didn´t have leopard 10,4 left so i can't install it. what do i do?

Is it a retail Leopard disc or a gray disc? If it's gray, it will only install on the Mac model it shipped with. A retail disc doesn't need an existing installation.

How do I slow my mac mini (2007)'s 5501 rpm fans

Hi, I have a old 2007 mac mini that I recently had taken to best buy to upgrade the ram, after the upgrade it is always loud and Istat says that the fan is at ~5500 RPM and another mac (which is silent) says only 1800 rpm under the same (and higher) workload. the loud mac has temperature of (according to Istat):
hard drive:81 degrees F
CPU: 94 F
CPU Heatsink: 83 F
Northbridge 1: 85 F
Northbridge 2: 81 F
the computer is cool to the touch
Please help me slow down the overactive fan on this mac, ~patrick

I have no idea if they removed, damaged or just forgot to plug the sensor back in. You really should take it back and make whomever worked on it fix the problem.
If you want to look at the teardown yourself, see > Mac Mini Repair - iFixit
Also if you do not feel comfortable with the service you received at BestBuy, report them to Apple and take it to another Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store.
