More RAM or memory; difficulty to install on 2009 Mac Mini

I have a 2009 Mac Mini (Snow Leopard) with the following:
Model Name:          Mac mini
Model Identifier:          Macmini3,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          3 MB
Memory:          1 GB
Bus Speed:          1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version:          MM31.0081.B06
SMC Version (system):          1.35f0
When I look at the Activity Monitory I see:
Free: 11.2 MB
Wire: 394.2 MB
Active: 415.1 MB
Inactive: 205.2 MB
Swap Used:  1.82 GB
The green "slice" is almost non-existent.
Do I need more RAM or memory and how easy/difficult is it to install either of these on my Mac Mini?  Years ago I installed additional memory on my Dell desktop without any issues/problems.
Thanks!

Another question ~ I looked at crucial.com's website and am unsure if I have a MB463LL/A computer or MB464LL/A computer.  Where do I find this information so I make sure I order the correct item?
According to MacTracker, the only difference between the two model numbers is MB463LL/A  comes with a 120 GB hard drive & MB464LL/A comes with a 320 GB hard drive. Both use the same "204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM" modules. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4432#2 from Apple says you can install up to 4 GB total (with two 2 GB modules) but MacTracker says up to 8 GB total, as does Macsales.com  (with two 4 GB modules).
Do note the earlier comment about the steps needed to upgrade your 2009 Mini -- only beginning with the 2010 models did Apple make upgrading memory in the Mini a simple, user-friendly process. The earlier models were not designed for the case to be opened by users.
Because of this (& because more memory is better, all other things being equal), I suggest you buy at least a pair of 2 GB modules (for 4 GB total).

  • 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;

    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..

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • Installing SSD in Mac mini (mid 2009)

    Hi
    I want to buy a new SSD Drive to my Mac Mini ( the installed drive is dead already)
    I thought about this model
    SanDisk SDSSDP-128G-G25
    what do you recommend ? do you think it will be compatible ?

    From the  > About This Mac menu, share what is stated for the present OS X version, CPU and installed memory. Further, run the System Information app from /Applications/Utilities. Using the following guide, share the revision of the EFI firmware presently installed. If you have the EFI firmware v1.2 installed, your mini can support 8GB RAM instead of the 4GB Apple ceiling without this firmware release. Here is a link for memory upgrades for this machine.
    You still have a SATA II 3Gbps internal storage controller. Regardless of the SSD you choose, you will need a professional video of the (advanced difficulty) installation process for older Mac minis.
    The SanDisk SDSSDP-128G-G25 is a SATA III drive that can fall back to SATA I and II. SanDisk provides a version 1.0 Windows-only (.exe) SSD Toolkit firmware update utliity. The last firmware update was Oct. 2012. SanDisk did not appear to offer a bootable Linux .iso firmware update solution for Macs. This is a 9.5 mm thick drive. I would pass on this drive as no provision for Mac installed firmware updates is evident, or even manufacturer stated Mac compatibility.
    I installed a 128GB OCZ Vertex 4 SSD into my 2011 Mac mini last summer. Caught a special and got it for $99, though presently $135 and higher if you can find one in stock. Newegg is out right now, but shows 506 **** reviews. This manufacture is committed to Mac and PC firmware support solutions, with copious documentation and recent (Jan/2013) firmware update. The drive is 7mm and has a 5 year warranty. This is what I would recommend because it is in constant use, fast, and flawless. Here is a review.
    Whichever drive you choose, you need some assurance it will have Mac firmware update support, and not require a PC only solution. The drive height must be 9.5 mm or less for the Mac mini.

  • 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.

  • Can memory be upgraded on a 2007 Mac Mini

    I have the original 1Gb memory installed - can this be added to or upgraded?

    Yes and according to OWC up to 4GB has been tested in the 2007 models.

  • 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.

  • Will Logic Pro 9 run on a 2007 4GB ram, 320GB hard drive, Intel 2 duo 2ghz mac mini?

    "Will Logic Pro 9 run on a 2007 4GB ram, 320GB hard drive, Intel 2 duo 2ghz mac mini?"
    I am looking for the cheapest way possible to run Logic Pro 9 and will purchase a second hand mac mini if it will run the software.
    Thank you!

    Yes it will.. I would recommend you use the combination of  Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and LPv9.1.5 (or 9.1.8 if you have to..) with that particular hardware to get the best performance out of it... I would not recommend running any OS X version higher than 10.6.8 as each new version of OS X from then onwards.. placed a bigger performance hit on the hardware... and frankly, less stability with LP9.
    As to how well it will run on that hardware.. will more depend on the sort of loads you place on it.. depending on the type and content of the music you wish to compose... It will run and you should be able to create reasonable sized projects.. but again, it all depends on the plugins used.. the number of them... the number of tracks and so on... so to give a more precise answer is difficult.

  • RAM Upgrade for Late 2009 Mac Mini -- anyone tried 16gb?

    Just a stupid question.. I've got a Mac Mini server (late 2009) that came with 4Gb of RAM.. The machine has never been speedy by any means and after finally getting some time to look into why, I think I know mostly why.. I've got the machine setup handling DNS, email (with Amavis, spam handling,etc), both MySQL and Postgres databases, Apache+WebDAV+iCAL and of course handling 2-3 user accounts being logged in at all times (using iTunes, Safari, etc).  if I pull up Activity Monitor or use the "MemoryStick" utility, I see that my RAM usage is typically (almost always) at about 96% used with 7 swap files running.. I've never seen it below about 95% used.  I know that this machine is capable of being outfitted with 8Gb of RAM (although Apple does not necessarily endorse that config).  So, this leads to my next question -- has anyone taken some 8Gb RAM modules such as these : http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/1333DDR3S32S/  and tried plopping two of them in to see if they're recognized as 8Gb modules and used or not?  I also have a brand-new 15" MBP (2011 model) that seems to occasionally suffer from the same fate -- it's also got 4GB of RAM and last night for quite a while it was at the 90% utilization level for RAM as well while importing some videos in iMovie '11..
    I'll have to admit that I'm wondering whether 8Gb is going to be enough RAM for my purposes on the mini.. I suspect I'm probably asking it to do too much -- all of this used to be done on an older model HP Proliant server (quad CPU, hot-swap drives, redundant power supplies,etc) -- but it cost about $40+ per month in power alone..
    Anyone?

    Thx.. I've actually upgraded to a new 2011 Mac Mini which can still take those same 8Gb ram sticks.. Interestingly enough the new Mac Mini server still comes with a measly 4gb of RAM which just doesn't cut it with OSX Lion -- I'm constantly at 1% free RAM when I've got Mail.app running.. Ugg.. Hopefully once I put 12Gb or 16Gb in, it'll hum along..

  • I can't boot from OS install USB drive Mac Mini Model 1176

    How I can't boot from OS install USB drive, Mac Mini Model 1176

    Thank you Eustace Mendis for your answer.
    I rebooted the Mac Mini holding the Option key down but it doesn't work. I used an USB drive with O.s 10.7 from Apple that I have used previuosly with other computers and I also tried with a CD install O.S 10.6
    It seems that the Mac Mini can't recognize the keyboard inputs and I tried with 3 different keyboards but still didn't work.
    I also reset the SMC and PRAM but I had no luck. Any clues?

  • More RAM or memory needed to run Windows-- AutoCAD 2010 on my mac?

    Hi all,
    I have researched for days and have still not been able to find an answer, last time I was here I was thoroughly impressed with the help, so I'm back!
    I have a MacBook 5,1, basic model 2 Ghz, 2GB, 65.7 GB free on my hard drive. I run parallels to use Windows XP to use AutoCAD 2010. I borrowed a friends Mac, a larger "better" model and was instantly jealous at the speed his computer was able to do the same tasks my computer takes when I have Windows/AutoCAD running.
    So my question is.. would more RAM help with the speed and overall function of my computer? Would more memory help? A combo of both? Also where is a reliable place to purchase what I may need? The best (and most cost effective) advice for my computer would be GREATLY appreciated!
    oh, would upgrading to Snow Leopard help as well? I am currently running just Leopard as far as I can tell (10.5.8). Also would this require me to reinstall all programs on my computer?
    Thanks in advance,
    Laura

    The short answer to your question is a resounding YES! RAM and memory are the same thing, but having more of that would most definitely improve your performance at almost everything.
    Upgrading to SL may help a little, but not nearly as much as more RAM. I'm not positive, but I think that model maxes out at 4GB, so that should be your goal. If it's 8GB, even better. The more RAM you have, the better things will be with a memory hungry app like AutoCAD.

  • How much memory can I install in my mac book pro?

    Mac book pro 2.4 GHz late 2011 i7....How much memory can I install? Currently have 4Gb but want to run Win 7 on VMware and want to make sure my user has enough

    The position of Apple is that the Late 2011 can take 8 GB, however, OWC, http://www.macsales.com and Crucial, http://www.crucial.com both guarantee their 16 GB ram packages to work.  Both are sellers of high quality ram that is guaranteed to work in Macs.

  • FCP X freezes and must force quit?  I have a FCP installed on a Mac Mini (4 gig memory) and Lion OS.  The import files are large ACVHD files from a Canon G10 camera.  FCPX freezes and requires a force quit.  Is anyone else having these problems?

    I am using FCP X on both a MacMini (10.7 with 4 Gig memory) and an iMac (10.6 with 4 gig memory).  The files are ACVHD files imported from a Canon G10 camcorder.  FCP is constantly freezing and requiring a forced quit.    Could it be that FCP X was not tested thoroughly for use on a Mac Mini? 

    I think it's safe to say that FCPX wasn't tested throroughly for use on anything.
    with that out of the way, there are many variables as to what might cause your problems, but I don't think it's the mac mini as long as it meets the specified minimum requirements (especially the graphics card).
    You might try creating a camera archive first and then importing from that.
    The other issue might be the file format itself; you might need to use Clipwrap first. Maybe someone who has the same camera can chime in.

Maybe you are looking for
