I have a MAC MINI 2011 model. Some days ago I bought an 8GB Ram kit from Amazon (Corsair 1333mhz PC3-10666). The problem is that my MAC MINI is only recognizing 4 GB. How can I solve this issue ?

Amazon also has a sell your stuff. It isnt as complicated as ebay and sometimes they buy it from you and resell themselves, although they don’t pay as much to purchase from you as you would get for selling through them. Since many people are purchasing ram through amazon to get it cheaper. you should sell true apple ram there fast.

@Aaron: The official maximum RAM on the Mac Mini 2011 is 8GB due to the fact that 8GB sodimms were not yet available for the Mini. But now that they are, you should have no problem getting 16GB into your Mac Mini. They’re still a little pricey when compared to the cheap 8GB RAM kits, but only you can decide if the added cost is worth it.

Has anyone tried to put more than 8 GB of RAM into the 2011 mac mini? For example, could you bump it up to 12 GB (2x6GB) or even 16 GB (2x8GB)? I asked Apple this question and there response was an unofficial “maybe.” If you’ve been successful I would love to know. It may be, for me, the difference between buying a mini or a new mac pro (Nov. 15?) Thanks all!

Apple has some great guides, just find your MacBook Pro in the list. It’s basically just a matter of undoing a few screws and then popping in the new RAM modules.

WOW! Best deal. Been trying to find a good deal and this was the best. Ordered mine. Can’t wait!

Can you guys post a link or something on how to install it on the computer? It’s hardware stuff so I don’t want to take a chance.

Thanks!

I paid $59.99 before rebate a month ago.

This kit (Corsair 8 GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM Upgrade)
caused my 2011 MacBook Pro 17 (MacBook Pro 8,3) to kernel panic (BSOD) about once every 4 days.

I am so glad I took it out.

You should get 1066 MHz speed RAM. Otherwise you’ll get overheating.

About 4GB or 8GB, I’m on the same boat with my Polycarbonate Macbook Late 2009 (white model).

[...] last, so if I were you, I’d jump on this sooner rather than later (Amazon Link). Hat tip to OS X Daily for sharing. [...]

Anyone know if this RAM is compatible with the Mac Mini Late 2009?
