What is the exact model number of a Mac Mini-mid 2011 Server?

My Mac Mini Server apple tells me is a Mid-2011. I saw somewhere the Mac Mini models have "5"  as the starting number in a 3 or 4 digit model number. Why is apple unable to give an exact model # of this "Mid-2011" model. Appreciate somebody to give an answer to this seeming "mystery". Thank you.

Unclear on whether you are asking about the model identifier (Macmini5,3) or the Apple part number (MC936LL/A).
The model identifier can be found in "System Information". The Apple part number can be found on the serial number plate attached to the chassis.

    My Mac Mini (Mid 2011) doesn't connect to Time Capsule in 5GHz Network. This WiFi Network don't appear in the WiFi list. What's Wrong?

    Oh yes, & 5 GHz doesn't do walls very well at all.
    GHz and Network Range
      The higher the frequency of a wireless signal, the shorter its range. Thus, 2.4 GHz networks cover a substantially larger range than 5 GHz wireless networks. In particular, the higher frequency wireless signals of 5 GHz networks do not penetrate solid objects nearly as well as do 2.4 GHz signals, limiting their reach inside homes.

  • Mac mini (Mid 2011) inexplicably running slow, especially videos, despite what I think is sufficient memory.

    I have a Mac mini (Mid 2011). It has become slow in some ways even though I have 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory and almost 250GB of free storage. I recently installed Yosemite 10.10.1 (14B25) but I had noticed the slow down prior to that. Notably, videos no longer run smoothly. Instead, there are brief pauses in playback. I initially thought it was a problem with streaming videos but then found the same problem playing TV shows and movies downloaded from the iTunes store.
    There are now also lags for starting up certain programs and many programs seems sluggish once open. Not sure what could have caused the slow down since I don't even use the computer at issue very much and haven't recently installed any new software. No programs launch with log-in and all notifications are turned off. Any ideas? If there's a problem specifically related to video, I'd be interested in hearing that too. I use a Samsung monitor but it and everything else about my computer used to work perfectly and videos ran smoothly until fairly recently.

  • I have a mac mini mid 2011, this device have; 2,3GHz and 2 Gb Memmory.I want to upgrade the memory and i need the list of supported memory modules

    i have a mac mini mid 2011, this device have; 2,3GHz and 2 Gb Memmory.I want to upgrade the memory and i need the list of supported memory modules. i am from turkey.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Mid 2011 Mac mini supports 8 GB of memory officially, but you can install up to 16 GB of RAM, so you can use 2, 4 and 8 GB modules. You can buy more RAM from OWC or Crucial.
    If you are looking for memory at a local shop, make sure you buy 1333 MHz DDR3 memory. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4432?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • What is the 5s model number for UK

    I am looking to buy the new 5s and want to get whilst I'm in the US, but need to know the right model number for full UK network access, with the ability to operate on 4g when others companies than EE offer it, but I'm told they will be on other frequencies?
    Any help would be appreciated

    It is not possible to buy a UK model iPhone in the US.
    It is only possible to buy a US model iPhone in the US.  The US iPhone is not guaranteed to work on LTE outside of North America.  Also, warranty is only valid in the country of origin.
    Wait until you get back to the UK and buy the device.

  • What's the best system upgrade for 'older' Mac Mini?

    My MacMini is about five years old:
    Model Name:    Mac mini
    Model Identifier:    Macmini4,1
    Processor Name:    Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed:    2.4 GHz
    Number Of Processors:    1
    Total Number Of Cores:    2

    SMC Version (system):    1.65f2
    This mini is still running  System 10.6.8, with the 'latest' version of Safari being version 5.1.10.
    Lately, Safari fails to perform certain features correctly on certain websites, and I have to switch to Firefox to make the websites work.
    Is it time for a system upgrade, so I can run a newer version of Safari?  If so, which newer OSX system version would be the best for me to upgrade to?

    A few other things to consider if you want to upgrade your OS.
    If you are using any apps that are still PowerPC apps, they will not run on
    any newer Mac OS.  So you will need to find replacements ($$$$).
    Also, in terms of apps, you need to make sure the apps you are currently
    using are compatible with the newer MacOS.  You may need to upgrade ($$$$)
    or find alternatives.
    Also, you will need to make sure any external hardware that you use with
    your Mac is also compatible with the newer MacOS.  You may simply need to
    update drivers or the hardware may no longer be supported ($$$$).
    So, upgrading your MacOS could end up costing more than just adding RAM!!!

  • Mac mini mid 2011 (base model) what can i upgrade?

    Sorry, stuck with what you have in the near term.  There
    is rumor of folks working on video upgrades via the
    Thunderbolt port but that is sometime off.
    Cpu? Doubt you can cange it but is it overclockable? Or can i get an i7? I dont know..
    Umm.. thats it so please tell me what you guys know please.
    I am pretty sure you can do overclocking when booted
    into windows, but also need to get additional fan control
    software and you will evetually be temperature limited.
    The new Sandy Bridge processors supposedly have
    a failsafe to turn things down if temps exceeded for
    to long, but best to keep an eye on things.
    On the Mac side, there is no means to overclock
    the CPU.
    BTW, the CPU you have you are stuck with as it is soldered to
    the motherboard.

  • What is the difference between Aplle Tv and Mac mini???

    I'm considering purchasing the Apple Tv but have noticed that the Mac mini is very similar! Can anyone tell me what the major differences are and which is better?

    I've been contemplating a switch from ATV to the Macbook which would equate somewhat to the mini but after three days have decided that the one huge advantage ATV has is the 5.1 channel out put for audio.
    The mini nor any other Mac is going to deliver that feature. I even tried with my Mac Pro. I did not want to add another piece of hardware such as the Firewave. By gosh if the little ATV computer can do it why shouldn't all Macs.
    Lastly using Front Row is cool on the Macbook and the video looks very good, as good as the ATV but I had my Hi Def mp4 encoded to 720p and did not want to try out 1080 because of the length of time to try that experiment. Anyway I much prefer Front Row on the ATV, at least I have my own personal inputs(text) shown on ATV but not on the Macbook when using FR.
    Hope this clears things up and I do agree with all the posts on this topic.

  • What is the best os x for a Macbook Air mid 2011?

    Hello friends,
    Just looking for some suggestions and opinions
    I have a Macbook Air mid 2011 2 gb ram 64 gb ssd.
    It came with osx lion but i'm baffled about if i should upgrade to osx Mountain Lion, just worried about how wouild it perform and any advantages versus Osx Lion
    Please let me know your opinioons and suggestions.
    Thanks all

    I would not recommend upgrading because 1) You have the minimum ram to upgrade.  2) Also, look at the features.  If their are none that you feel you need, then their is really no reason to upgrade.

  • What's the expected hard disk speed for Mac Mini?

    Hi all, I just bought my first Mac for use in my personal photo studio, a refurbed 2011 Mac Mini i5 2.5ghz. As I was setting up external drives and putting the mini through its paces, I ran a disk benchmark (BlackMagic Disk Speed Test) and got some pretty poor scores.
    My mini's internal drive hits roughly 40MB/s for both sequential read and sequential write. Am I correct in thinking that this is poor performance even for a 5400 rpm drive? The drive is mostly full; there are 50GB free. Would you recommend that I address this with Applecare?
    Here are two other Minis (same 5400 rpm drive) hitting much higher marks:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2KOAUAqYiw#t=1m41s
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPksGswN8Uk#t=0m18s

    Thanks for the response, Allan. I was preparing to move most of the data to an external RAID setup when I ran that benchmark. It made me think twice about spending several hours setting up the system if in the end the system drive needs replacement.
    I'll move some data and see if the speed improves.
    ps - One of the torx screws inside the mini case is misaligned. Noticed this when installing new ram. I guess that's making me a bit paranoid that the refurb process didn't go smoothly ;-)

  • (Mac Mini mid-2011) Installing an SSD drive as a replacement of the HDD

    Hey all,
    I just got myself a Crucial M500 240GB SSD drive for my mid-2011 Mac Mini. I intend to replace the standard hard drive with this one.
    Here are a couple of thigs that are still unclear to me :
    - what will happen when I first boot my Mini after I replaced the HDD with the SSD ? As of now, this drive is in stock state, I guess not even formatted and empty.
    - how will I be able to make a fresh install of Mavericks ? I made a bootable Mavericks install usb stick, but haven't found out a way yet to boot on it (I have a wireless Apple keyboard, and holding the cmd key when booting won't pop any disk manager)
    Any further details on how I should proceed are appreciated, thanks !

    Hi,
    First off, thanks for taking the time to answer.

    You have to hold the Alt key while your computer is starting up in order to show all bootable partitions, so you will be able to choose the OS X Mavericks installer flash drive.
    Then, format the SSD with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X.
    In case you want to clone your HDD to the SSD, you can use the Restore feature in Disk Utility to do it. Get a USB to SATA adapter, connect the HDD and follow these steps with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU7.html Choose your HDD as "Source" and the SSD as "Destination". When you have finished, restart and disconnect your HDD.
    Just so you know, what I'm trying to do is a fresh install of Mavericks, from scratch. I do not want to clone the install I'm running know on my standard HD.
    I tried to use several keyboard combinason without any luck. I Googled that and found out that this is normal behaviour on a Mac with a wireless keyboard. How am I supposed to get into recovery mode then ?
    Thanks !
