Problem upgrading memory of a mac mini 2010

I have a Mac mini 2010 with these memories
2 x 1GB PC2-5300 667MHz Ram
http://i.imgur.com/L25KW0q.jpg
I bought a memoir of Ebay and do not work.
Insert 2 modules and makes strange beeps on boot, if I put up does nothing starts without beeping and not send video signal and if I put the form below makes the odd beep.
They are:
RAM-DDR3-Macbook-pro-mid-02.02.2012-GB-4GB-mt8jtf25664hz-1g6m1
It is this: http://imgur.com/DFV7s99
2GB 1RX8 PC3-12800S
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR3_SDRAM
Turns out I tried i7 laptop with (DDR3, 10600, 1333-MHz) and worked and this is (12800 DDR3-1600) art of a MacBook Pro 2012 ...and does not work ...
Can anything be done?
Perhaps better than store or sell ...
My laptop has Windows 8Gb and may put them at Mac and these 4Gb the laptop i7, but maybe worse.
Greetings

A mid 2010 Mini needs:

  • How many memory slots on mac mini 2010?

    I have a Mac Mini 2.4 (mid-2010) I bought used with 4GB of RAM. The previous owner upgraded from the standard 2GB. I have the chance to get 2X more 2GB cards that are compatible. I am curious if I can do that. Are there 4 memory card slots? Or would I need to buy two 4GB cards? Thanks!

  • Need to upgrade memory in ppc mac mini

    Does anyone know of a step by step guide with pictures to installing memory in a ppc mac mini? Need to upgrade to a gig to use some graphics software. Thanks,
    Steve

    In sleep mode (STR) the RAM has to be refreshed to
    keep the memory content, so the more you got the more
    power will be consumed on this.
    Having less ram will therefore benefit battery life
    in sleep mode.
    This is only of concern to portable users of course, and the additional RAM has barely any impact on power demand whether from mains-power or battery. Some admittedly, but not much. Nor would it be all that easy to tell what drain it caused since there are other variables involved with battery drain rates too, such as ambient temperature.
    There is still room for improvement in whatever
    algorithm it is that determines when "inactive"
    memory is released. Paging frequently happens after
    copying large files since all memory is in use and
    "recently" so, even if this use is one where the
    content is NOT likely to be needed again.
    The much hyped idea that "old" inactive memory is
    being released when more is needed I find it
    difficult to confirm, or paging would not be needed.
    Simply caching EVERYTHING does not in my mind count
    as an "intelligent" algorithm..
    As much as this may be valid, there is no way the user is able to change the algorithm - it's part of the operating system. As such, the user can really only take such steps as may be possible to improve the working of the system - one significant such step being adding RAM.
    This can be cleared up by running "repair
    permissions" in DU, since it seems to release much of
    the inactive RAM. It would be much better to have a
    small utility to do this, though, if making the OS
    more intelligent is not an option.
    Running disk utility may be an effective method of resolving memory allocations etc, but it then places the onus on the user to monitor the system and manually activate a process. Part of the appeal of MacOS to many people is that it removes much of the onus users of other operating systems feel is placed on them to keep tuning the system - activities which detract from the use of the system.
    Ultimately, I have to say that I have never found the need to do anything of that sort. I do use MenuMeters (a very neat little app to place system monitoring tools in the menu bar and which uses barely any CPU overhead to do so) to watch the status of my system, but only as an occasional troubleshooting aid when I'm testing software or experimenting with the system. That is about as far as I go with anything other than using the system. Certainly, I've not found any need to perform the sort of tasks that are often being recommended, and even the systems I run 24/7 remain efficient in operation.
    I can say that while my G4 was running off a 5400rpm drive, increasing RAM from 768Mb to 1.5Gb quite dramatically improved performance of both 10.4 and 10.2 but had little benefit in OS9 (all booting from separate drives). The effects were rather less noticeable after swapping out to 7200 drives instead.

  • Upgrade Mac Mini 2010 to SSD, have you tried this?

    Hi all, and this is my first discussion thread.
    I'm currently running my Mac Mini 2010 with a SATA Male to Female cable and ext. SATA power on a WD VelociRaptor 150GB.
    The solution isn't really elegant i feel and it generates alot of heat from the drive and some extra noise when loading heavy applications eg. parallels desktop.
    I've even up the ram to the max 8GB as well and everything seems zippy so far.
    Earlier there are alot of talk about SSDs requiring TRIM on the operating system and as what we know Mac OS X Leopard
    does not have integrated TRIM support.
    So i'm basically looking at SSD candidates that will:
    - run the power provided by the Mac Mini's (5V) integrated PSU
    - don't require TRIM support to manage garbage collection on the hardware level.
    So far, i've only 2 candidates:
    - Crucial RealSSD
    - Kingston V100+
    Which one will you shell out for and why?
    Additional question:
    - If i remove the superdrive on my mac mini, can i get a external USB superdrive? is there such a thing at all?

    theres no reason why it should not work, plug in the HDMI cable, select the Source input on LCD(HDMI 1/2), if still no picture on the Mini open System Pref>Display : Resolution> it should show 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p and other lower resolutions, just select 1080p and to your right select 60hz. Hope this helps.

  • Mac mini 2010 very slow after update to Mavericks

    My mac mini 2010 (2.4 Ghz, 8GB ram) is running really very slow after updating to Mavericks.
    Clearly OneDrive is a pain... but had it running on ML as well, and though it is a memory and CPU hog, it never really slowed down the system.

  • Mac Mini 2010 Hardware Test w/ Lion

    I have a mac mini 2010 that came with snow leopard installed. I recently upgraded to Lion, however I need to do the Apple hardware test. When I attempt to load the hardware test by holding down the D key when booting the Mac Mini the hardware test fails to load. What do I need to do to load the Hardware test?

    Boot from your original OS X Installer Disc One that came with your computer.  After the chime press and hold down the "D" key until the diagnostic screen appears.  Run the extended tests for a minimum of two or three hours.  If any error messages appear note them down as you will need to report them to the service tech when you take the computer in for repair.

  • Is mac mini 2010 good enough for iphone app development?

    I'm planning to get a Mac Mini 2010, with 4GB of ram instead of the default basic 2GB. I'm getting it to do iphone app development. Is this computer going to be sufficient? Are there any caveats I should be aware of?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    I got exactly that setup for exactly that purpose... even the 4GB upgrade Even without the ram upgrade it should still be fine for iPhone app development. I've not run into any problems with mine.
    I got my ram upgrade because I want to run Windows inside MacOS using virtualization software - that kinda thing requires lots of ram.
    You might want to wait two days though before you buy. Apple has an event on Wednesday (October 20th) and it looks like there will be a lot of focus on Mac, possibly some hardware upgrades and a new version of MacOS.
    Regards
    Eon

  • Solved! Mac Mini 2010 Mountain Lion Auto Restart

    Hello,
    I read a lot topic about this and a lot are unsolved. I had same problem it come from HDMI.
    Here what i do : before i shutdown i unplug HDMI from Mac Mini ( Not from TV ) then click on `shutdown`. Of course your mouse cursor is over `shutdown` before unplug
    Good luck.
    My config :
    Mac Mini 2010
    Ram 8 Go (upgrade 2013)
    HDD WD 1To (upgrade 2013)

    At the store they reinstall it with snow leopard, not mountain lion.
    Don't install server.
    At home just have monitor connected through hdmi/dvi original cable and keyboard and track pad through Bluetooth.
    Do you thing that I've to connect different devices (mouse and keyboard via USB cable and monitor through HDMI) ?

  • Can I install more memory on a mac mini

    Can I install more memory on a mac mini?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. You can upgrade the RAM always that you do not have a Late 2014 Mac mini (I am not sure that you can install more RAM, and if you can, it will void the warranty), and you can purchase more RAM at OWC or Crucial.

  • Mac Mini 2010 and Windows 7

    Hello All,
    I searched the forums to see if my question had already been answered, but I couldn't find it. My apologies in advance if this, in fact, is solved. I am having some issues with my installation of Windows 7 on my Mac Mini 2010 model 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo. I used boot camp to create a partition, installed windows 7 64 bit from a copy that I bought from school, and it did install.
    Problem 1
    The problem that I am having is that the operating system states that 4GB of RAM is available and 3.5GB is usable. I currently have 8GB installed(Not factory, I purchased third party) and it reads fine in Mac OS X. Does anyone else have this problem or a similar one?
    Problem 2
    The screen will not expand fully in Windows 7. I have an ASUS 21.5in HD screen that will display up to 1080p connected to the HDMI connection on my mac. When I boot up, the screen will display in a smaller size(about 3/4 the size of the screen) while the rest of the screen is black.
    What have I tried?
    I have updated to the latest boot camp package on the Apple website to make sure I have the latest drivers for my NVIDIA GeForce 320M card.
    I have tried playing with the resolution in Windows 7 to display the maximum possible resolution
    I have made sure to install all Windows 7 updates.
    Problem 3
    I don't have full access to the monitor menu. When I touch the menu button, I can only change the brightness, sharpness, and that is it. I can't do anything about expanding the screen, moving the screen left or right, etc.(If I did have these options, then problem #2 would be solved).
    Nothing has worked.
    What do I think...
    I am thinking that it has something do with the fact that I am running the screen from the HDMI, although I don't really know why. It could also be the monitor. I could try to purchase the Mini Display Port adapter to see if that offers a better resolution, more freedom with my monitor, etc. This would fix problem 2 and 3. I did order a 24" Apple Cinema Display which will be here in a few days. If everything works with that, then I guess I wouldn't have a problem anymore, but I think it should still work with my existing monitor.
    As for the first problem, I am at a loss. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks for reading.

    I completely agree with your assessment for Problem #1, but here we have it.
    I will try re-installing and will also double check with the drivers for the monitor. Thanks for the advice. If all else fails, I will just use parallels.

  • Problems installing OSX Lion - new Mac Mini 2011

    Hi!
    I'm having major problem with my brand new Mac Mini.
    I wanted to upgrade it right away after reading so many succeful upgrading reports on various forums so I bought a 120GB Intel 320 SSD disk and 2x4 GB of Kingston 1333mhz ram. I swapped the drives right away and idiotically used to original drive in a case to create an external installation USB-drive (my 4GB USB drives didn't work).
    I then created a bootable USB-disk with the external original drive and tried to install but only get the circle with slash after selecting the drive in the "options" menu. If I remove the USB-drive I get a flashing folder icon. If start holding down Command + S I get a message saying that the "version of OSX is not supported on this platform".
    I also tried using the Recovery Assistant HD to create a bootable recovery tool but that gives the same results.
    In short:
    I can't install OSX Lion on a brand new Mac Mini with upgraded HD and Ram. I don't have the original installation anymore.
    Am I out of luck?

    Internet Recovery solved this problem. Option+Command+R.

  • Bootcamp 5 on Mac Mini 2010

    According to Apple's Boot Camp site, (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US) my Mac Mini 2010 supports Boot Camp 4.  But I am running 10.8.3 now and this has installed Boot Camp 5 on my Mac Mini.  Will this cause any problems if I want to install WIndows 7?  Thanks.

    One thing is the Boot Camp Assistant version and a different one is the Boot Camp drivers version your computer supports.
    Mountain Lion has got Boot Camp Assistant 5, but computers that aren't compatible with Boot Camp 5 get Boot Camp 4 drivers without any problem. You can install Windows 7 without any problem, always that you download and install the Boot Camp 4 drivers in Windows. You can get these drivers in Boot Camp Assistant. Follow these steps to install Windows > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

  • Mini DisplayPort to DVI-D adapter works with Mac Mini 2010?

    Hi,
    I would like to connect my Mac Mini (2010 edition) to both my Samsung PX2370 display and my LCD TV. Currently, I only have the Samsung display connected through the included HDMI-to-DVI adapter, but I'd like to use the HDMI output to directly connect my LCD TV, and connect the Samsung display by using a Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter, like the one that is for sale at the Apple Online Store. Such adapter should work without trouble with any MAc computer that has a mini DisplayPort output, including the Mac Mini, right?
    Thanks in advance for your support.

    You're right, but I forgot to mention that the Samsung display is just an LCD monitor, so I don´t really need to get audio output for both connections
    Currently, I use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter to connect the Samsung monitor, but I'd like to use the HDMI output to connect my LCD TV instead (and probably a home theater system in the future), and use the Mini DisplayPort output for the monitor, so that I can have a dual-display setup.
    I asked this question, because I read the description for the Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter in the Mexico Apple Store web page, and that description tells that only Macbooks support the adapter. In the US Apple Store page, it does tell that the adapter is supported by any Apple computer with a Mini DP connection, so I just wanted to confirm which description is true, to avoid confusions.
    Anyway, I appreciate that you took the time to respond... Regards!!

  • Sleep problem on new 1.5GHz Mac mini

    Anyone else having problems with their Intel-based Mac mini not waking up after it's been in sleep mode for a while (1-2 hours)?
    The mini's light stops pulsating when trying to wake it up from sleep, but only stays dim. It never actually wakes up. A hard boot doesn't even fix the problem. Only after it's been unplugged and plugged back in does it start back up.
    It also has had problems using a Samsung LCD monitor (VGA). Display preferences showed multiple refresh rates. When one of these refresh rates was chosen, the screen went black. Did everything to fix the problem (zapped PRAM, deleted preferences, etc) but ended up erasing the hard drive and reinstalling everything over again. The sleep issue persists but the display issue seems to be fixed.
    Thought this may be related to the Intel integrated graphics. Thanks for any help!

    OK - best to collect some data.
    Do you have another computer in your home network. It would be good to see if the unresponsive mini will respond to network pings. Use the Network Utility - go to the ping tab, and enter the name of your mini. (The name is shown in the sharing preference pane) add .local to the end if you don't have a name server set up.
    Second - you may want to turn on Remote Login and Apple Remote Desktop so you can log into the mini through the network and shut things down cleanly (as well as look at what really is happening)
    Third - open the Console App - and look over the system.log and the console.log.
    If I had to guess (and I don't have near enough info to make a real call) - I would guess it's not sleeping, but hung. I was able to get FrontRow in a tizzy switching resolutions all over the place and without remote log in - I never would have known and probably given up and pulled the plug.
    Sorry I can't solve it out of the gate - but if it happens again - we can show you some tricks to narrow down the causes...
