  1. Anybody know anything about changing the RAM cards in Mac Minis? Thinking of bumping mine up from 2GB to a higher grade because I've started to work with Logic Pro and Sibelius, which can get quite heavy.
  2. Also, the new iTunes is slick. Has to be said.
  3. What you need to figure out is:

    * What type of (SO)DIMM generation the Mac Mini uses
    * How many slots there are and if there are any free
    * How much the Mac Mini supports in total and per slot

    When you know that you just buy it and plug the modules in
  4. Can you buy the modules from Apple? Because they've a lot of information about them but I can't see them for sale anywhere.

    I wouldn't bet my money on that chance. Maybe you can get them replaced by them ( = €€€€€), but I doubt they allow you to purchase the RAMs directly from them and then replace them on yourself.
  6. And if they do, it will be at least 2x too expensive.
  7. Yeah probably, I'll look around for somewhere to buy them so. Cheers Chris

  8. That's what I said, but for some reason the euro symbol inside my brackets ( = ) didn't appear. It's a recurrent error when using livetopics, ascii symbols don't show up properly. For example, this ♥ is a heart (Alt+3) but will show up as a question mark, I think. They only show up correctly when the page is reloaded.

    Edit. Yes, I was right, it shows as a ?, but quote or edit my post and you'll see it's a heart
  9. Hmmm weird bug Will look into it
  10. €€€€
  11. Hmm no such luck

    Mac mini (Mid 2011) computers have two internal memory slots. These slots accept a standard PC3-10600 DDR3 204-pin SO-DIMMs (Small Outline DIMM) with the following specifications:

    PC3-10600 DDR3
    Unbuffered
    Non-parity
    204-pin module
    1333 MHz


    From Apple's site. When I changed to 4GB (should have gone to 8GB really for a few extra dollars but anyway) - it's pretty much turn the mini over, slide off the black plate, see how the ram is put in and do it pretty much the same way. Black plate back on, and if it shows your RAM allocation updated then it's done.

    Be very careful though, it looks like it could snap so easily - much more so than a regular desktop.
