  What adoptive parent of power do you use?

  The only disks will install on the Mini are the original install (gray) discs that came with the Mini or retail (white). The original install disks of another model Mac will not work.

  Macs Solo can go as high as Snow Leopard.

  If the Mini shows life, you should be able to start the Mini in target disk Mode

  The 2011 native Mini with Lion and no installation disc

  The iMac 10.6.4 from 2010. If you fully updated on the iMac to 10.6.8 then you should be able to start on the Mini, but not before completely update. The iMac installation disc doesn't have the drivers for the Mini

• What happened to Sierra Mac Mini mid-2010?

  What happened to Sierra Mac Mini mid-2010?  As a first step, I realized it was the lower end of the system requirements.  Many citations on the support pages and anywhere on the web say "Mac Mini mid-2010 or newer."  But now, after half a day struggling with the installation, I find that he must now be "mid-2011 or newer!  Changed Whaaaa?

• Mac Mini (mid-2010) fan running full speed

  I went on the hard drive of a few years for one SSD OEM and the fan runs all the time.  In my view, there is a connector on the card, which has no connection with it.

  I read that this occurs when the thermal sensor is not placed on the new hard drive.

  How many connection should be here soon out of the drive to connect to the map?

  How can I fix?

  TIA

  The original HD had a sensor taped to the road with adhesive tape double faces. You had to move the sensor to the new drive. Without the detector, the fan runs at full speed.

• Can I also use RAM from a mac mini in 2012 in an iMac 2010?

  Hello

  I recently updated the RAM in a mac mini 'end 2012' a member of the family of 2 x 4 GB 2 x 8 GB, which means that I now have two spare 4 GB modules.  I also got an iMac 27 "older, (mid-2010), which has 4 x 2 GB RAM modules.

  Can I replace two 2 GB modules in the iMac with two 4 GB of the mac mini modules to increase his performance a bit?  (it is no longer my main machine, but I still use it, and it's not like I'm going to do a lot for the minis ex modules on eBay!)

  Looking at the specifications, the 2010 need PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SDRAM mac 204-pin SO-DIMM, while ex-mac mini modules are PC3-12800 (1600 MHz), 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM.  It seems to me like the mac mini modules can roll at a faster rate as the needs of the iMac, but on the assumption that surpassing the requirements can be a problem, they won't work?   Would be risking damage (to the iMac or modules) if I gave them a try? In other words, what is the worst that can happen?

  Any experience/advice welcome!

  Richard.

  Hard to say, but using RAM that differs from the form is always a gamble. RAM rated faster than necessary can work. You can judge them. If there is a problem, that you will be alerted by the operating system no doubt when you try to start.

  To avoid any problems with the RAM does not. He will not or should not damage the computer.

  last possible system on Mac Mini 1.93 GHz Intel Core 2 GB memory?

  My system works very well except for Safari and Firefox, which NOW have updated versions.  What is the solution? I use Snow Leopard and latest Firefox since it's 48.0.2 and Safari's 5.1.10 that I can no longer use to access certain web pages

  If you do not meet the above, but respect what follows, then you can upgrade to El Capitan.

  Upgrade to El Capitan

  You can pass the Lion El Capitan or directly from Snow Leopard. El Capitan can be downloaded for FREE from the Mac App Store.

  To upgrade to El Capitan, you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or installed Lion. Download El Capitan from the App Store. Sign in with your Apple ID. El Capitan is free. The file is big enough, more than 5 GB, allow it some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

  Mac that can be upgraded to OS X El Capitan

  1 iMac (mid-2007 or newer) - model identifier 7.1 or later

  2 MacBook (late 2008 or early 2009 or newer aluminium) - model identifier 5.1 or later

  3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

  4 MacBook Air (late 2008 or newer)- model identifier 2.1 or later

  6 mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

  7 Xserve (early 2009) - model identifier 3.1 or later version

  To find the identifier of the model open system information in the Utilities folder. It is displayed in the Panel on the right.

  Are my applications?

  See table of application - RoaringApps compatibility

  Upgrade to Lion

  If your computer does not meet requirements to install the above, it can still meet the specifications to install Lion.

  You can buy Lion to the Apple store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus taxes.  It's a download. You will receive an email with a redemption code that you then use on the Mac App Store for download Lion. Save a copy of this installer to your download folder because Setup deletes itself at the end of the installation.
