Upgrading Mac Mini Ram

i have a 1.66 ghz core due mac mini with 512 mb of ram. i want to upgrade to 2gb.
does the mac mini have 2 slots for ram and if so, what kind does it take?
is it still hard to open, do you still have to do it with a sharpened putty knife or have they changed that with the core duo's

Hello,
****, im no pro and i dont want to mess anything up
trying this. i also dont wanna pay through the roof
for mac ram
I can appreciate that.
any suggestions?
I would first find out if you have any Apple Authorized Service Providers in your area that are not actually owned by Apple.
Then, ask them if they will install memory modules that you supply. If so, then see what they would charge for the service.
If they say no, ask them how much they charge for their memory.
A lot of Mac Mini CoreSolo and Duo owners have complained of problems resulting from servicing the machines themselves. There are so many parts that you have to move and remove, that you need to be exactly sure of what you are doing when you put it back together.
So, if you are not comfortable doing it yourself, see if you can buy cheaper memory elsewhere and pay an Authorized Service Provider to install it. Many of them will do it if you pay for their time.
As for buying 3rd-party memory, I buy mine here:

  • How to upgrade Mac mini server Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion

    Trying to upgrade Mac mini server running Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I downloaded Mountain Lion and about to install but a warning prompt tells me server functionality will be lost until server.app is applied. What is involved in doing that?

    What's involved?  Buy and load OS X Server; that's now a Mac App Store app.
    That'll get you Server.app.
    Server.app is the GUI tool that is used to manage recent versions of OS X Server, along with (increasingly) the command line management of the features that are not exposed through the Server.app tool.

  • Upgrading Mac Mini 2.1 (2007/08) from 1GB to 4GB RAM

    Just joined, this is my first question.
    Done plenty of reading on macupgrades; everymac; eshop.macsales; and macminiramupgrade..............so I know what I want to do and just want someone to confirm the right spec RAM if I give you a couple of part numbers of what I plan to purchase. Firstly:-
    I have done the checks and my Mac Mini is a 2.1, 2007/08, annoyingly bought just before the next generation came out in the spring of 2009. The model ref is A1176. It only has 1gb (2 x 512mbs) of RAM. The main objective is to take advantage of icloud now we have two other apple devices (iphone4s and Ipad2). So to get there I have to upgrade the operating system from Leopard to Snow Leopard (which needs 1gb of RAM) and then upgrade again to Lion (which critically needs 2gb of RAM). Fundamentally it is imperative I upgrade the RAM and if I am going to have a go at that I might as well go to the limit of what my Mac Mini can take and I believe it can take just over 3gbs according to what I have read. That means using a 4gb kit (2 x 2gbs).
    I have scrutinised the spec of the recommended RAM on macupgrades but that is with a view to only upgrading to 2gbs (2 x 1gb). They quote a Kingston 1GB DDR2 PC5300 SODIMM 200 PIN, unbuffered, non EEC etc. I cannot find any detail on the help websites that quote a 2x2gb upgrade (on my Mac Mini) although as I said I know it can be done even though you won't be able to use the whole 4gb.
    I have found 2GB RAM from safe manufacturers such as Crucial and Kingston which are exactly the same spec. Please can someone have a look at and say that will do it?
    Quick find code on Ebuyer.com for Kingston RAM is 121416..................just done it and it goes straight to the relevant page.
    Went to the Crucial.com website for their product, put in the code CT2KIT25664AC667 in the search field and went straight to the product.
    Always appreciate help from those in the know.

    OWC is a US site which does ship overseas.  You could look at the Samsung 2GB memory they carry and see if you can get it locally. It's Samsung part number M470T2953CZ3-CE6. I've had good luck with Samsung memory in various mac systems.
    While you didn't ask this, you probably know that the benefit to using two 2GB memory (versus 2+1) is that the Intel architecture will run a little faster, around 3% to 5%+, since matched memory enables dual channel memory access. 
    See this article about installing Lion over Leopard. Snow Leopard is no longer available from Apple stores or Apple online. In the US, and I would assume other countries that have an Apple online store, you can call and order Snow Leopard off the legacy products list. Likewise, Lion is no longer available for download. However, you can contact the Apple online store and they can either sell you the USB stick with Lion on it, or, in the US I'm told they can sell you a code to download Lion online. That may require Snow Leopard if done through the App store.
    I'm bouncing around a little here, so bear with me. On your question of Lion running in 3GB, not knowing exactly what you're running, I really can't answer that. I can point out that some people have been OK with Lion in 2GB, however, as you've read, many others have required a memory upgrade to, typically, 4GB. Right now, the Lion system I'm on is an iMac that is only using 2.98GB in wired+active memory. Applications running are mail, Chrome browser, and activity monitor.
    You may want to post a discussion question in the Lion discussion area here on others 3GB (2x2GB memory cards) Lion experience on your 2007/2008 mini 2,1.   Or of course on the mini discussion here.
    If I've confused more than helped, I plead that it's been a long day! Any other questions, please let me know.

  • Adding RAM and making room/trying to upgrade Mac Mini

    I have a 2007 Mac Mini on Tiger and wanted to upgrade to Snow Leopard but even taking the machine down to base with erase and install, it still says the RAM is not enough. Where and how can RAM be added?

    your mini has 1GB of memory, with maximum 2GB. SL requires minimum 2GB ram.
    If you decide to add ram, use good reputation supplier like Crucial or OWC. Be sure to buy compatible ram.
    In OWC sites you find the way how to do it.

    After severe performance problems with Aperture, I decided to go for an RAM upgrade to 2x4GB. Went to my (non-Apple) dealer, got me two DDR3 1333Mhz Samsung bricks and put them in. Worked like a chime. Startup went fine, RAM types shown in the Activity Monitor with plenty of free RAM and great performance... for a change.
    After a week however my Mac froze. A restart gave me two beeps and a flashing light in front. Manual tells me 'wrong RAM type'. Same situation after replacing only one of the bricks.
    A bit weird after a week of juicy operation?
    Getting back the old RAM installed resulted in a working Mac - but with the limited memory obviously.
    Will go back to the dealer and have the RAM replaced next week.
    Ever heard about RAM failing after a well?
    /thanks!

    UPDATE:
    right, I went back to my dealer and got the RAM sticks replaced. the miniMac booted up at the store and is now working fine again. Let's see for how long.

    I had checked the serial number and RAM chip IDs with the Samsung tool from their homepage. Looked just fine.
    To my limited knowledge about Silicon production it would not be too easy to produce fake RAM sticks that
    - are accepted by the HW check
    - show the capacity as specified
    - .. but fail after few days (haha!)
    I will update you about the latest with this story.

  • 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

  • Mac Mini Ram Upgrade Help!

    Hey Apple Users
    Just bought my first Mac computer about 7 months ago, The minimac. Now this little monster is fast still for only 1gb of ram, and i'm running all high end Adobe softwear that requires 2 gb or more on regular computers, but she started to lag alittle using Adobe Premiere Pro cs4, so i decided to buy 4 gb of ram from ebay(brand New). I got the ram took my mini apart, did everything proper, destaticed myself etc and installed the 2 ram chips. after i went to boot up I got 1 Beep and a light every 10 secs maybe? So first thing i thought the ram was defective, So i tested the ram with my 1 gb in one slot and a 2 gb in the other and she booted fine and showed 3 gb ram. I tested the other 2 gb as well and worked fine. Don't understand why they wouldn't work together. So i said *** i'll just use 3gb instead and have a back up if the other 2 gb fails. Now after 2 hours of using my computer she froze solid, so i restarted and then i got a grey screen, 3 lights/3beeps. This means ram not recongized as far as i'v learned I may be wrong, so now i'm back with just my 1 gb in my comp running fine. Any ideas what could be the problem here?

  • SSD Upgrade Mac Mini (Late 2012)

    I have a Mac Mini (Late 2012) quad i7, 16gb ram, and 1tb HD. I would like to upgrade to an SSD, I currently have a 500GB Samsung Evo ready to install, but read that if you install a third party SSD, Yosemite does not boot. I got the 1TB hard drive replaced yesterday (1/5/15) due to a crash and do not want to suffer from another failure.
    Should I purchase an OEM Apple SSD - found some on eBay 128gb Toshiba for $57-$70/ 256gb Toshiba $240
    reference link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/APPLE-MACBOOK-PRO-13-15-17-OEM-256GB-SSD-SOLID-STATE-LAP TOP-HARD-DRIVE-2-5-/111564891006?pt=US_Solid_State_Drives&hash=item19f9c9237e
    I know with kext signing and TRIM, other SSD's would not be compatible.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    First of all, Apple knows what was originally in your Mini and if it wasn't an SSD, I doubt they'd cover it, so if replacing the factory HD with anything voids your warranty, that would too. Moreover, it is being sold with an operating system on it which may be in violation of Apple's EULA. On the other hand, depending on which Samsung EVO you have, you probably should read this and this before you decide.

  • Question about Mac Mini RAM Slots?

    My dad is thinking about buying the 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo Mac Mini (MA607LL/A), and I was going to upgrade the RAM for him with a stick of 512 RAM from Crucial.
    1. I can't find out online if the factory default Mac Mini ships with 2 sticks of 256 already in each slot, or if it ships with 1 stick of 512. Can someone please confirm this for me? I'm guessing it ships with two sticks of 256, one in each slot, but I'm looking for a confirmation on this.
    2. Also, if I replace a stick of 256 with a new 512 stick, how much of a performance hit will he get if the ram isn't identical in pairs? We could just replace each stick with 512 if it's really worth it, but if the performance gain is minimal, then it may not be worth it.
    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    hello mike,
    Your best bet is to go the whole way, and put 2X 1G ram sticks in the machine. This will future-proof the machine, and also give the bset performance per buck. OsX really likes a lot of RAM.
    As far as taking a performance hit by having mis-matched ram, i dont think its going to make a whole lot of difference. The performance decrease is very minimal. the same is true for macbook's FYI.
    Cheers, hope it helps

  • Upgraded mac mini to 2.33ghz duo core and 2gbram

    ok I made a mistake in my previous post. I upgraded my mac mini to 2.33ghz duo core and 2gb ram and still can't download and install my purchased copy of Lion, not mountain lion as I stated before, any how the specs saay I need a duo core cpu and 2 gb seems I am meeting the minimum requirements anyone know why I can't install it?

  • Mac Mini RAM issue

    Hi all,
    I've recently replaced my MBP with a late 2012 Mac Mini (2.5GHz i5). I migrated a Time Machine backup of the MBP straight on to the Mac Mini after unboxing and this worked a treat.
    The Mac Mini has 4GB of RAM but seems to use half of it just sitting idle with no apps running. Is this normal? I had 4GB in the MBP but never experienced this kind of issue. For instance, I'm typing this into Firefox whilst listening to a podcast in iTunes and there's only 1.3GB of RAM free.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks lllaass.
    That makes sense but it's obvious to me that 4GB isn't going to be enough for anything more than light use, particularly if I open the likes of Photoshop. I've been using Memory Clean in an attempt to free up RAM when required but it never really makes available more than 2GB of the 4GB total.
    I'm going to upgrade the Mac Mini gradually, starting with a RAM increase to 8GB (and possibly 16GB) and then an SSD replacement.

  • Mac Mini Ram

    does the mac mini have buffered or unbuffered ram.
    i have the original 512mb and i want to upgrade to 1gb, i have found buffered and unbuffered for the same price, whats the difference and which is better for the mac mini ?
    thanx

    The Mac mini takes Unbuffered ram. The correct ram is listed here.

  • Mac mini ram error

    I have an intel mac mini originally with 512mb ram and wanted to increase to 2gb, i purchased crucials ram, and since have a blank gray screen with a flashing icon of a folder with a "?" any ideas? I have reopened it up to check everything is ok, and it all appears connected

    Memory problems are indicated with flashing lights and beeps, since your Mini did neither, I don't think the memory installation was bad, rather the seating of the drive tray. You get the flashing ? sign when the machine can't access an operating system - generally due to Hard drive failure or corruption. Since I have no idea how much experience you've had with opening and upgrading the Mini, I'm going to suggest that the drive tray is not seated properly into it's tab on the mainboard. It is, of course, possible that you had a coincidental drive failure, but much more likely that the drive trays are not seated properly into the aforementioned slot.

  • Upgrading Mac Mini in order to use iTunes

    Okay, here is my issue.....
    Bought the wife an iPhone 4, tried to sync with an old iTunes version on her Mac Mini running OS 10.4.11.
    iTunes said we needed to download the latest version (v. 10.7) in order to work with the iPhone. Tried to download the latest version but could not because our OS was outdated.
    Researched online and discovered I had to purchase a current OS disc (retail version) as a OS system disc from any of my other 3 Apple computers would not work. Apparently the discs only work with the model they came with.
    Went to Apple Store to inquire what to do. Told I did indeed need to buy a retail disc but they do not sell them. Have to order from Apple Care. Also informed that my Mac Mini Intel Solo Core, 512 MB RAM didn't have enough memory for the OS 10.6.3 Snow Leopard disc. That I needed at least 1GB of RAM. Apple does not install memory in that computer anymore and referred to 3rd party vendor.
    Went to 3rd party Apple vendor and had them max out the Mac Mini with 2GB of RAM.
    OS disc arrived today. Tried to install but says not enough space. Read the specs on the side of the box and it does indeed say the installation needs 1GB of RAM but also states it needs another 5GB of RAM...I don't know what for?.....would have been nice of the Apple Genius to tell me that before I went to the trouble and expense of upgrading the old Mac Mini.
    In any case, here is my new question....if I get an external HD in order to have the space to install the OS 10.6.3, so I can download iTunes v. 10, in order to be able to sync my wife's new iPhone 4, so she can actually enjoy all the phone can do....will this all work or do I need to trash the computer and just get a new one for her? Does running the OS off an external HD slow down the running of basic computer functions?
    boy, it would be nice if all of this was backward compatible and the iPhone would have worked with the older version of iTunes...maybe it wouldn't have all of the latest and greatest but we didn't need that...but we do need it to at least work as intended.
    I'm getting a headache from all of this but I thank you all for your expertise and your time.

    Hello,
    In any case, here is my new question....if I get an external HD in order to have the space to install the OS 10.6.3, so I can download iTunes v. 10, in order to be able to sync my wife's new iPhone 4, so she can actually enjoy all the phone can do....will this all work or do I need to trash the computer and just get a new one for her? Does running the OS off an external HD slow down the running of basic computer functions?
    Yes, I think youre confusing RAM Memory with Free Disk Space, (virtual Memory & storage).
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
    Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

    Honestly, I hate this obslescence deal, but to be truthful, Core Solo AND 2 GB of RAM isn't going to be anything but disappointing in use.
    And I'd avoid thenew Minis  & iMacs like the plague, I'd look for a used older model than 2012s, mybe even a 2009 model.

  • OSX 10.9 and Mac Mini Ram

    My late 2009 Mac Mini Intel Duo Core 2.53 has slowed dramatically under 10.9.1.
    What else is new, with 4 GB base Ram, it's probably Memory Challenged.
    I'm thinking about expanding the Memory, and am starting to see 16 Gig options along woth the more common 8 Gig updates.
    What's the Maximum Ram my Late 2009 Mini-Server can take to expand itls current 2X2 Gig DDR3 1067 chips....can I get it up to a safe, reliable 16 Gig or is a 2X4 expansion max?

    I visited my local Apple store and checked out their latest offerings and spoe to them about my Mini Issues under Mavericks.
    I was told downgrading OSX to an earlier release might be a solution, but I'd have to wipe my HD to install everything clean.
    Since it's a dual HD System, I'm guessing I could move all the data, pix,music to one drive...and wipe the other///or since my "secondar drive" is basically just for back-up, wipe it, lay a new System OSX on it and use it as a newboot drive.
    If I need to, that's a decent option.
    Expanding Ram: Cheap enough, it's always nice to have a little extra headroom.
    BUT the Mini's at the Apple Store were running Mavericks just fine with no delays, no problem. And when I checked their available Ram, they were running with 4GB just fine.
    So I am still not sure my issues are all Ram-Related.
    It's a 4+ year old System, seems to be working OK now, and as long as I don't run more than 2-3 full Apps, may still have some life left. I blew out a some logs and other files, found an attached external drive wasnt working right, unplouuged it, did some Disk Utility Permission/Verify runs on the Mini's Intyrenal Droves and the Icon Bouncing, Beach Balls have stopped. Hopefully it'll last. Ram is cheap enojugh, I might upgrade to 8 Gigs at some point too just to increase the headroom a bit.
    Help/Advice Appreciated
