Mac Mini upgrade with nanya ram

Hi all
I've come accross an interesting offer on a 2x1 Gb ram made by Nanya.
200 pin DDR2 SODIMM 60 ball GREEN PACKAGE
NT1GT64U8HA0BN-3C
1GB
PC2 5300S 555 12 F1
http://www.nanya.com/PageEdition3.aspx?Menu_ID=87&def=210&lan=en-us
I wanto to use them on a mac mini dual core.
Do someone has experiences withe these rams?
I havv read that someone has used nanya with macmini but he hasn't mentioned the exact model.
Thanxx.

The attraction of cheap RAM is understandable, particularly memory that is generally known good, but there are reasons that places such as crucial.com remain in business despite their relatively high pricing structures, and where Mac systems are concerned the rate of failure with RAM is certainly higher than with PCs - which makes the extra cost of buying from sources that offer comprehensive warranties rather more worthwhile than might at first seem.
Newegg have often been quoted as among the lower cost vendors offering good levels of service - it may be worth looking at their returns and replacement terms.
Personally, I would not opt for a RAM supplier who does not give an assurance that memory they provide will be at the very least exchanged at a future date if found defective in the specific system concerned.

  • Mac Mini upgrade to 8gb RAM?

    Can Mac Mini (2009 model) 2.0GHz/1GB 1066MHz DDR3 upgrade ram to 8gb (2x4GB)?

    Not sure how you can say something is not possible purely based on the fact that OWC doesn't sell a kit. You have to admit that is pretty ridiculous. If you had some technical knowledge backing your statements they would hold more merit. I think the guy doesn't believe you because you don't have any real information and you are not offering any expertise.
    Does anyone with real knowledge of such things know if the Mini can be expanded beyond 4GB?
    Someone above commented that OWC has tried unsuccessfully to upgrade the Mini. Is there a link to this info?

  • Mac Mini upgraded with Atheros Airport Extreme

    Earlier this year I upgraded my mid-2006 Mac Mini (Core Duo) with an (Macbook Original Wireless WIFI Card 802.11n AR5BXB72 - Atheros) Airport Extreme Card to get N-WiFi.
    That works fine in Leopard 10.5.8; but in 10.6.4 & 10.6.5, I can't get connected to my router. Is a new driver needed for 10.6 ?
    Network Utility / Info Tab / Network Interface (en1) reports "Model: Wireless Network Adapter," as (802.11a/b/g/n).
    As an aside, the Bluetooth seems much flakier now than with the original card.

    Stick to 10.5.8. Once you make hardware from one Mac run on another, there is no guarantee it will survive updates. And what elements are needed to keep them running through updates are very rarely if ever known. The only hardware you can swap from a Mac Mini Intel to a MacBook or vise versa is the hard drive. Even then, it will likely need to be reformatted for the new machine after being transferred since many drivers are system specific, and the machine may not know what to do with the different drivers.

  • Upgrade mac mini 2010 w 6GB RAM

    presently mid 2010 mac mini upgraded to maverick. seems running low on memory.
    planning to upgrade from the default 4GB (2x2GB) that comes with mini server version
    do i have to upgrade both slots equally say 2x4GB (8GB), or can i upgrade 1x2GB and 1x4GB (6GB)
    thnks

    You can use different RAM sizes if you want, but I recommend you to use two modules of the same amount of RAM to take advantage of Dual Channel. You can buy more RAM at OWC or Crucial.
    Note that OS X Mavericks manages RAM in a different way than older OS X versions, so in some cases it is "normal" that RAM usage is high

  • I recently (4 days ago) bought a Mac mini server with 10.7 lion; will I qualify for a free upgrade to Mountain Lion Server?

    How has Apple honoured buyers of other releases of OS X immediately before a new version was announced?

    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.

  • When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?

    When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via the minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?

    Was just on the phone with Apple about this.
    The solution was as follows for me anyway...
    Go to your Finder
    Choose the Go Menu
    Choose Computer
    Choose your Macintosh Hard Drive
    Choose your "Library" Folder
    Choose the "Preferences" Folder
    There should be a folder called "Audio"
    Move that whole folder to the trash
    Empty the Trash
    Restart from the Apple Menu
    When you are back up and running;
         Choose System Preferences from the Apple Menu
         Choose Sound
          In the output tab you should now be able to make the HDMI "Sticky"
          Enjoy your sound over HDMI and no more dirty knees or broken backs unplugging the desktop speakers!

  • How does the mac mini perform with cs5

    Just curious
    How does the Intel HD Graphics 4000 in the new mac mini perform with cs5 photoshop  cs6 photoshop?
    thanks
    Ted

    Jeff, I appreciate your comment, so you haven't had any problem with using the painttools in CS 6 photoshop and the 3d type etc, in other words all the features that CS6 photoshop has.
    I was thinking about buying the mac mini but was concerned how it works with CS 5 (which I have) I will have to take another look at the MiniMac server with the 3000 card. I do a lot of Digital Painting primarily Painter 12.2 but and would like to use the Painter brushes in CS 5 ( have not upgraded to CS 6.) My Imac is 6 years old and really is not fast enough.
    Thanks for replying

  • Mac Book Pro with 8gb RAM

    Can I have my ran upgraded at a local Apple Store? Or the only way to buy a Mac Book Pro with 8gb RAM is online?

    In Milan, Italy, they did for me at the Apple Store.
    They took out the original 4GB and installed 8GB. the 4GB were discounted at full price because I did it before going out of the store. If I remember correctly -200€ for the 4GB and +400€ for the 8GB. This means 200 €
    At the end is practical but may be more expensive if you discarge the 4GB and install non Apple 8GB, but this may invalid tha garanty... I am not sure about it but I prefer to stay on the safe side.
    The difference could be not much. May be you find 8GB for only 140 - 160  €  but it will be difficoult to get more than 40-50 for the 4GB even if they are really new.

  • Airdrop - Mid 2010 Mac Mini - Upgraded to OS X Yosemite

    I upgraded my Mid 2010 Mac Mini to Yosemite yesterday and thought I'd try using Airdrop to send a file to my almost brand new IPad with OS 8. Airdrop is listed in Finder on my Mac Mini but when I open it it doesn't find my iPad but the screen states "Airdrop let's you share instantly with people nearby. To share with someone using a Mac, ask them to go to Airdrop in the Finder".  If alternatively I right click on a document in Finder and select 'share' the Airdrop option is there but greyed out and if I click on Airdrop a message appears stating "To share with someone using a Mac, ask them to go to Airdrop in the Finder" - no mention of what to do if you want to share with an iPad. I have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi switched on on both devices and have the Airdrop status set to Everyone on the iPad.  On the Mac Mini in settings - extensions - share menu, the Airdrop box is white with black tick whereas other tick boxes are blue with a white tick. Does all this mean that my Mac Mini even with Yosemite can't operate Airdrop at all or maybe only with another Mac (maybe it's too old)? Or maybe I'm missing something?

    You need a newer model Mac to use AirDrop between an iOS device (e.g. iPad) and a Mac
    System Requirements
    To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
    In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
    your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector
    your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
    your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed
    Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network.
    To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need the Mac models listed below with Wi-Fi turned on and OS X Lion or later installed.
    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)

I am in contact with Itunes now and they wanted screenshots of the problem, I can get these current tv episodes with a vpn and my isp says they are not blocking them, but i was surprised that prior to the election they were blocked, ?
    I also can get them on my Android Samsung Galaxy note 2 with no problem but on the Macmini cannot>/? I Unsubscribed and subscribed many times but still no luck, any ideas? I am waiting for the senior advisor to get back to me on this issue. I am in THailand now where the problem is happening and as I said the ISP says they do not block any podcasts.I also do not want it on my iphone 5, so I have to wait and see why the mac mini is not getting it.

  • My 2012 Mac Mini came with a SSD and with Yosemite, can I add a SSHD and also migrate everything from a Macbook Pro that is running Lion 10.7.5?

    Hi Apple Community,
    Today I received a refurbished 2012 i5 Mac Mini that I purchased via Amazon. The Mac Mini came with a 256gb Samsung SSD only installed. The Mac Mini also has 10.10.2 Yosemite.
    I am planing on ordering an "OWC Data Doubler Mounting Kit" to add another drive onto the Mac Mini.
    (http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DIYIMM11D2/)
    I also plan on getting a second drive which would be a 1tb SSHD Black Western Digital (16GB SSD) 2.5 SATA III (6.0GB/s) 5400RPM drive.
    Now here is where I am a very confused and concerned. What I essentially want to do is use Migration Assistant to completely migrate what I have on a 2012 i7 Macbook Pro's 750gb HDD to the Mac Mini's 1tb SSHD drive. I want every file and setting to be placed on my new Mac Mini just the way it is on the Macbook Pro. The Macbook Pro is however using 10.7.5 Lion while my new Mac Mini is using 10.10.2 Yosemite.
    What makes me confused is, if I migrate everything from the Macbook Pro onto the 1tb SSHD, would I still be able to benefit by having the 256gb Samsung SSD in the Mac Mini? For instance, would the Mac Mini still be able to boot up super fast and use the SSD to write and read programs very fast? Or is it because I am migrating everything from my Macbook Pro's HDD onto the Mac Mini's 1tb SSHD, my Mac Mini will not be able to use the speed benefits of the SSD?
    Another concern is, will I be able to use Yosemite or will I be stuck with 10.7.5 Lion? I would only like Yosemite. I do not mine if Lion is removed from my new Mac Mini.

    UPDATE:
    Hi again,
    I made more research on raid and now I am considering not to raid at all.
    Raid0 seems extremely risky because I do not know how the SSD and SSHD would react together.
    And Raid1 seems like it would not be able to function the way I would like to store my files. [The SSD is 256gb and SSHD is 1tb, there is no point in raid1]
    I think I will just have to add the second drive and use it without raid. I will mostly save media files such as movies, pictures, and music. And for everything else, save it onto the SSD's storage.

    At this moment, that's correct. The OS X license included with a Mac can only be used with that Mac. However, in the case the OP has purchased OS X Mountain Lion in the past, this may change

  • How to use webmail address book on Mac Mini Server with Lion Server.

    I have a Mac Mini Server with Lion Server installed; the webmail is setup and working but I can not get the address book to work.
    I have followed an instruction from this website on how to activate the address book icon in webmail but can not add any addresses.  Is there something that needs to be activatied before it will work?

    No, I didn't solve the problem. The monitor still goes to sleep with WIndows but not with my Mac Mini. About 8 months ago I basically wore out the power switch on my monitor so I bought a wireless power switch to shut it off at the outlet. The VX2835wm monitor itself is now starting to fail as well-- a couple of times it's gone through a weird sequence of flashing screen colors on power up and ended up in an overscan mode (that took me for ever to figure out how to fix). I have decided to replace my VX2835wm with a Dell u2412m once it fails for good partly because I really want to keep the 16:10 resolution (very hard to find these days) and partly because I want to see if a different make of monitor will go to sleep properly based upon my Mac Mini power down settings.
