Delete this file and clone the installed OS (on the external drive) to your Mac Mini. Before you can use Lion on your Mac Mini you will need to erase a file that lists your Mini as being incompatible.

You will have to call Apple and ask for another code then wait another 24 hours.ĭownload onto an external drive attached to a compatible Mac. If you try it on another machine it will say that the code has been redeemed.

If you try and use the content code to download to your upgraded mac mini it will tell you that your computer does not support Lion and it will not download the software. If you order Lion from the Apple Store you will get two emails after about 24 hours, one with a password, the other with a content code. I installed a new HD (500 GB) with OS 10.6 and 10.7 partitions, new memory (2 X 2GB strips), new PRAM battery, new optical drive also to extend the life of the mini for my granddaughter who wants to use it with her iPad mini. It's a scary moment when the Mini refuses to boot up and such a great sound after you remove one of the sticks and try again.

This is because you will need to update to Lion before updating the bios to 2.1 so that the extra memory will be recognized. The mini will not boot again until you remove one of the memory sticks, leaving 2GB. I installed a T7600 and 4GB of memory into a Core Duo A1176 (late 2006) Mac Mini running OS 10.6.8 which I installed before upgrading the processor.
In my case a little pressure was needed probably because some of the pins were slightly off from the time it was removed from its previous home. Also, if you removed the heat sensor wire so that you can clean the heat sink don't forget to plug it back in before you lock down the heat sink again.įinally the new processor does not always drop easily into the ZIF (Zero insertion force) socket as you might expect.
You can then add fresh thermal paste to the replacement processor (thin layer).Ĭheck the orientation of the heat sink also because the new processor is not oriented the same way as the original and if you use the outline of the old processor on the heat sink as a guide you will have to take the heat sink back off and turn it 90 degrees so that the fins are oriented correctly. Also, the old thermal paste has to be worked off the new processor and heat sink a number of times using ArticClear remover and purifier. The heat sink is also "welded" on to the old processor so be patient while you persuade the two to break apart. The plastic barbs break off easily so you will want to get plastic screws and bolts ahead of time to replace the brittle posts that you break (I broke two of the four). Go slow because it's tricky getting the heat sink off the processor and back on with the four plastic posts and springs holding down the heat sink.

Though this provide a more rudimentary looking installer, this allows you to fully customize your Ubuntu installation.Yes, you can upgrade the core duo or core solo processors and install Lion OS (10.7). As of this writing, the mini.iso for both amd64 and i386 do not include EFI bootable binaries. These disks have explicitly removed EFI bootable binaries forcing a machine to boot with BIOS compatibility. Use an Ubuntu 64-bit amd64+mac install disk.

This is not ideal since we would be installing 32-bit software on a 64-bit capable system. As of this writing, no i386 isos contain EFI bootable binaries. We have three options to get around this. However, due to the EFI implementation a Mac mini (2,1) does not handle a BIOS / EFI bootable disk gracefully, usually dropping to the following prompt: Mac mini (2,1) uses an 64-bit EFI firmware but also support BIOS boot compatibility. This means that booting via a USB port Does not work. Mac mini (2,1) will only boot from the internal HDD, internal Super`Drive, or (presumably) FireWire target disk mode.
The original systems were sold in two 64-bit flavors: * Core 2 Duo 1.83 GHz (T5600) * Core 2 Duo 2.00 GHz (T7200) Here’s a list of all the Macs that support Chrome OS. Some people seem to have upgraded their original Mac mini (1,1) firmware to Mac mini (2,1). Before you go ahead and install Chrome OS on your Mac, you need to make sure your Mac’s model is supported. Under Ubuntu, you can verify that this is the model that you have by typing at the terminal:
