What RAM and SSDs will go in a Mac Mini? ...

Getting ready to snag a new Mac Mini after the announcement tomorrow.
Assuming the new ones accept the same RAM and HDs and the existing ones ...
What kinds/sizes of RAM go in the Mini?
What kind of SSD specs will fit in the Mini?
Thanks very much in advance,
Chris

That is just what is in the rumor mill. Would really
be suprised to see the Mini updated before the iMacs.
Not the usual path. But perhaps an iMac refresh will
be announced as well. Need to wait and see what
really is going to happen.
If a refresh is announced, it could be a while before
it is available.
As a note, the recently updated Macbook Pros use
DDR3 1600 RAM where the previous versions and
the current Minis use DDR3 1333. So, one would
suspect that a new Mini or iMac would be using the
faster RAM.

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.

What currently available charger will power a 2005 Mac mini G4?

I have a late 2005 Mac mini and need to replace the power adaptor - any idea which of the currently available models will work or where I can get a non-apple version?

It might be less expensive to just purchase a used Mac min, the 2005-2009 Mini used the same power supply.

I am looking to make the switch from pc to mac and have been eyeing the MBP 13". I would like to know whether it is fine to add RAM and SSD myself? any compatibility or warranty problems? what brand/type of RAM and SSD is the best fit? thank you.

I'm possibly wrong here but I suspect opening a brand new MBP to add parts yourself will void the warranty. It is probably in the small print. I certainly would not risk it for an expensive Apple product.
Some (Windows) laptops have easy access to memory and disk slots that do not necessitate taking the complete back cover off. However, Apple does not make life easy for you.
However, if you are going for a 'used' machine it is probably worth a try.
Not possibly, definitely wrong, Ram and Hard Drive are considered user replaceable and will not void the warranty if changed.

Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB
or if there is any other ram please provide me detail.

Samsunng evo 840
Crucial MX100
i am guessing both will be compatible with my laptop but the main problem is ram and it's frequency i can't seems to find a way.
Please help.

Hi,
Your machine currently has 4Gb of RAM:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03325481
It supports 8Gb max. CPU-Z (SPD tab) should show you RAM information including brand. You can work out what do you need using that information. My suggestion: use information on the SPD tab INCLUDING brand.
Regards.

Upgrading RAM and SSD on MacBook Pro 15" mid 2009

Hey,
I want to upgrade RAM and SSD on my macbook pro, identifier 5,3, and I want to make sure the parts I picked will be compatible with my Macbook.
I'm specifically not sure about its support of 512GB.
I thought about RAM:

Check this out:

Once you think you've done it correctly restart and hold down the option key or go to "System Preferences" under the Apple and look at "Startup Disk".
That will tell which Disks are bootable.
Now about that Crucial drive:

U400 - adding ram and SSD

Is it possible to add ram and SSD to the U400 by user or if it can only be done by service? I would really want to have 8Gb of ram and the SSD but there is no available model with such config at the moment.

My user-upgrade experience is not good. Most of this is user (my) error, there is nothing wrong with the way the machine was supplied from Lenovo.
I found a YouTube video about cracking the case open and that is what I did, cracked the mount fittings in the front of the case. I got it back together but the front edge is not as secure as it should be.
If you decide to open the case, make sure you SLIDE, don't pry or lift the bottom off after removing the 2 feet screws at the back.
Second bummer is the hard drive is right next to the USB3 port. Everything fits fine w/ the supplied hard drive because the case is slightly recessed on a normal (spinning) disk. On the SSDs I've purchased, the case is the full rectangular size and doesn't fit in opening. I had to hack into the surround of the SSD to make it fit.
Needless to say, I hope I don't need warranty support on the machine or drive.

T400 rams and ssd compatibility

Hi all
I am planing to upgrade the ram and hdd for my laptop lenovo t400 .
Could u pls help me to know what is the ram and ssd that compatible with lenovo t400 ??
Note : i tried to upgrade the ram for lenovo t400 with bus 1333 pc-10600 but that not work .
Kindly advice .
Regards
Solved!
Go to Solution.

RAM = 1066 mhz 204 pin SODIMM DDR3 (although faster ram is also possible, so 1333 mhz and 1666 mhz DDR3 is also okay). But don't use Corsair ram to avoid incompatibility issues.
SSD = SATAII (Although SATAIII is also backward compatible), 2.5 inch, 9.5/7 mm thick drives.

I purchased Keynote on ipad and then tried to install on mac mini and it asks me to pay again, help?

I had purchased Keynote on my ipad and recently upgraded a new SSD hard drive in my mac mini. When I began to reinstall my programs it wouldn't let me download Keynote without wanting me to repay. I can't find the purchase under either username I have though apple. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

The app that you bought for your iPad is for iOS devices only, it will not work on the Mac OS. If you want the Mac version, which operates on Macs and not iOS devices, then yes, you will also have to pay for that one as well.

Functioning Monitor will not display with Mac Mini

I'm trying to get an IBM E74 CRT monitor working with an early 2009 Mac Mini. I have it connected with Apple's mini-DVI to VGA adapater. The Mac "sees" the monitor since with screen sharing I can see the Display System Preference when the monitor is attached. It shows the monitor as an IBM E74 and allows what appear to be appropriate choices as far as resolution and refresh rate are concerned. I tried many combinations of resolution and refresh rate with no difference in behavior.
The monitor always acts like no signal is detected (built it message on monitor display). This monitor works fine with a B&W G3 and a late 2007 MacBook Pro. Any ideas why the Mac Mini is not driving the monitor? Have tried all combinations cycling power on the monitor, connecting / disconnecting while the Mac Mini is power up. Have had the monitor connected and powered on when booting the Mac Mini. For whatever reason the monitor does not seem to work with the Mac Mini, but works fine with other computers.
The monitor despite its' age has pretty low time on it and is quite serviceable. Are there quirks with the VGA interface that we may be running into? I would like to get this combo working together if at all possible.

I would say the VGA interface did evolve somewhat over that time period. In particular, the thing that may have changed that could be the underlying cause of the problem is sync termination impedance has trended upwards. It's not unusual to find older monitors with low impedance on sync. Some even had 75 ohm impedance, which required a line driver for sync the same as for video.
It could be the IBM monitor has fairly low termination impedance and the mini is unable to provide sufficient output on the sync lines to drive TTL levels, whereas the MBP is doing better. You could check this with a simple ohm meter with the IBM monitor turned off. Ideally, for the mini, you would want to see a high impedance reading on H and V sync, like close to 2k ohms. If it's 500 ohms or less, then the mini may not be able to drive sync properly.
On an old monitor like that, it is likely to have old fashioned components with axial leads rather than surface mount components. If you are handy with a soldering iron, you could find the offending resistors and bring the monitor up to a more modern, high impedance standard of 1.8k to 2.2k.

Why is my mac so slow i have cleansed and cleaned it is a 2010 mac mini i5 but it runs like a 20 year old pc i have only had it for a few months and it was straight out of the box

why is my mac so slow i have cleansed and cleaned it is a 2010 mac mini i5 but it runs like a 20 year old pc i have only had it for a few months and it was straight out of the box

I'm thinking that you have a > Mac mini (Mid 2011) - Technical Specifications because the 2010 model's only have Core 2 Duo processors and the 2011 had the first i5 processor.
2 GB of RAM is the minimum requirement for Mountain Lion, but it's hardly enough to really enjoy doing anything else.
see > Memory and Free Installation Guides for Apple Mac Mini
Plus I don't have any problems running Mountain Lion and a load of App's on my 2010 Mac Mini with 8GB of RAM.

Unless your HP printer is an AirPrint-ready device, just connecting it to the USB port of the AirPort Express base station will not make it so.
On the other hand, connecting a non-AirPrint printer to the base station's USB port it can be shared out by the base station's print server. Please see the following Apple Support article for details.
