Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.Turned it on again and before the gray screen appears (you need to be a little fast), I hold the keys Command (вЊ) + Option + R + P simultaneously (yes, simultaneously means at the same time).I left the down slot alone, placed the new stick at upper slot and power on.I observed that at upper slot both (new and originals) sticks works, the problem was the down slot. I started testing the memories slots with the originals and the new sticks. I placed back the originals memories sticks and the problem continues going (I donвЂ™t remember if I placed them in the same order). Two things could have happened: I broke the memories or they came broken. Well, after changing the memories and power on the machine I got the famous memoriesвЂ™s beeps error.

So you ask me: Can I use generals notebookвЂ™s memories like the KingstonвЂ™s Valued Ram for example? Well, Apple has some specifications for memories.

The Mac Mini (Mid 2011) uses notebook memories. You can find cheaper memories right there. If you are thinking to buy a Mac Mini or a Mac in general, IвЂ™m telling you, doesnвЂ™t worth to buy it with more memory then the standard. Watch out!
