WARNING TO ALL: When removing and putting back that small torx T6 screw that secures the antenna cable, use a magnetic screwdriver and avoid missing the mark. In my case I let the screw drop and whoosh it disappeared in thin air!! Shaking the whole mac mini did not reveal any loose screw somewhere in the whole case! I had to remove the entire mainboard to hunt for it and could not find it. I found out the reason after much worry: the speaker assembly near the antenna had sucked the screw right under the raised speaker assembly due to the strong magnet! So strong was the magnetism that I could not hear any screw rolling or shaking about in the case when I tried to locate it! Be careful all! Best to insert the screw into the metal plate at the end of the antenna cable before you place the plate over the screwhole and attempt to screw the torx screw into the receptacle.
watcher696959 thank you friend, I hope you were able to find a solution
Good to know, thanks
Thanks for the warning! After reading your comment I bought the small iFixIt kit (about $23). Well worth it.
im sure the majority of us are not stupid/carelessness like you
Appreciate the heads up!
Worked perfectly! Thank you very much for this very easy to follow tutorial. My best advice for anyone wanting to perform this task is to ensure you have the proper tools. With following this tutorial, stopping it every time I completed the next task, it took me about 20 mins total. I probably could have finished it much sooner but I was taking it VERY slow.
5:40 Woahhhh strange. It's just a surface mounted connector. You can even pull straight up on the cables near the connector and it will pop straight out-or at least it should. Strange yours was so difficult. It's a piece of cake! Also, for those struggling to remove the power connector (5:17), it's a lot easier to remove it once you've slid the motherboard tray out a little bit (at 6:43). Makes it so you don't have to reach your fingers underneath the case.
I know?! it’s nuts! Was I doing something wrong? I literally tried removing this for 30 mins (pulling up to remove it from socket) and it would not budge. And just got frustrated and pulled the pins. Everything else was cake!
I cringed. Hard.
I put a tiny screwdriver under it and it came of easy with a little push upwards
Maybe you tried to pull it (from left to right) instead of lifting it up (away from the motherboard). Even though the bare connectors suggest a sliding mechanism, it really needs to be lifted up - and pressed down again later.
Does this upgrade work on the mac mini late 2014? im trying to stream but my 4 gigs of ram wont cut it
Just finished upgrading. Your instructions were perfect and made the process incredibly easy. Thank you very much!
did you use an anti-static wrist strap? where do you clip it?
As others have said, followed this and twenty minutes later, a successful much needed upgrade that didn’t cost me an arm and a leg! Great video, thank you!
Thank you so much for this guide! I followed it step-by-step, and it went flawlessly! My little mini is a rocket ship now! Your tutorial was fantastic and easy to follow. Well done! Thanks again!
Thanks for the tutorial. Just upgraded my Mac mini to 32GB. Had to do it very slooooowly and carefully each step of the way. It works !
I like that you demonstrate the entire process. Ifixit just shows install not reassembly. Very good video.
Great video. I just completed upgrading my new 2018 i5 Mac Mini to 32GBs of RAM following along.
Thank you for this great video. I just completed the 8GB to 32GB upgrade on my just purchased Mac mini taking it step by step watching your video. Thanks also for the recommendation on the iFixit tool kit. I bought this as well (from Amazon with same day delivery--for a small fraction of the savings of not paying Apple to configure my 32GB). I had no trouble with the LED connector--use the tweezers supplied in the tool kit and it pops right up. Probably my biggest difficulties were... 1) getting the rubber memory card protectors back in place properly, but finally figured it out. The little rubber rails slide down inside the metal clip handles. You can't see any of this until you take them off. And 2) Getting the antenna wire brace to realign with the screw hole while holding the Torx driver with one hand and the antenna with the other hand. I was always afraid of dropping one of the little screws down into the system, but the magnetic Torx tips help with that if you're gentle. I also had a momentary scare when I noticed that the original 2x4GB modules I was taking out were 2666 MHz vs the 2400 MHz 2x16's I was putting in. But I double checked and the mini calls for 2400, so Crucial got it right. The latest models from AAPL are shipping with 2666--whether they're actually running at 2666 is another question, but you probably won't notice the difference. I certainly wouldn't recommend this project to the average Joe, but if you're good with fine mechanical work and you have the right tools, go for it. At least the 2018 IS upgradeable. The 2014 was not, at all. And the Crucial 2x16GB kit is available today (12/22/19) for $116.50 on Amazon. Even with the tool kit purchase, I saved a total of $421. :-)
Thank you so much for this video! I felt like I had a teacher right by me walking me through this. Worked like a charm, thanks so much for the tutorial!
I now have 64gb memory on my Mac mini for a fraction of the price. Thanks for the tutorial. It really helped.
Twice you’ve guided me. First with the 32 gig install when I got it and again with a 64 Gig upgrade. Your calm voice got me through it with the only hassle being the Wi-Fi wire and screw. Apple couldn’t give us an Extra inch of wire?!? You rock. Thank you again.
Just upgraded mine following along. Thanks for saving me hundreds of dollars!!
I have done this upgrade. This is an excellent video. Very clear instructions. my biggest dtruggle was with the power cable and getting it lined up perpendicular to the pins. If you try to angle it in, you can bend the power pins and you have anice paper weight. Otherwise fairly straight forward. Also be very careful with the LED cables. coating on wires very fragile I would suggest using tweezers only if tips covered with plastic coating. Otherwise everything worked fine.
Thanks for this Jeff. Worked like a charm. It’s nice to see the reverse/reassembly. Most people don’t. I bought the “Mac mini kit” from iFixit and the tools were perfect.
solid video. Thanks for the very clear walkthrough. I will be doing this with all possible dispatch.
I know I'm echoing what so many others have said here, but THANK YOU for this excellent tutorial!!! Always planned on upgrading from my base RAM, but wasn't sure when. 64 GB came up at a great price recently, I couldn't pass it up. Followed along this video and upgrade went perfectly. Excellent step-by-step, closeups on small connectors, and explanations of the disassembly and reassembly process. As a few others in the comments have mentioned, a magnetic torx set is a must. I have T6 and T10 sizes, but my T5 is non-magnetic. While those cage screws are easy enough to get to, fiddling with little screws, a tiny screwdriver, and sausage fingers, was the most frustrating part of this tinkering. Thanks again :)
Just upgraded my 2018 Mac mini with 64 g. It was a breeze thanks to your how-to video. Thank you very much!
Just did this! Thank you - I am by no means good at stuff like this but super straight forward thanks to you!
This is the best presentation I have ever seen on youtube ... thanks for doing this video ... upgraded my 2018 following your video and it went through without a hitch ... I have watched hundreds of videos but this was the best video I have ever seen ... you should go professional If you aren't doing so already ... great job !!
I have zero intentions of ever purchasing a Mac Mini, but that video was fantastic! All the detail you could need. Only thing I would maybe have done is gone into a little more depth about the RAM you purchased. Anyway, great stuff! Glad the indicator light works :P
Thank you for this. It worked perfectly on a new Mac Mini April 2020.
Perfect. I saved over 2K replacing the RAM on my two 2018 Mac Mini. Instructions were clear and concise. Excellent job!
I have a bunch of 2012 Mac Mini servers still in production. This doesn't seem any more difficult than dealing with those. Thanks for the detailed tear down. Cheers, JAYTEE
Between your video and the iFixIt photos it went well. Thanks!
Great guide. I upgraded my Mac mini from 8 to 64 GB RAM and saved almost 1K. Thanks a lot.
Just used your video guidance to update memory in My Intel Mac Mini. Your instructions were great and for the record I used your method of detaching those 2 leads. Just took patience and persistence. Thanks for a great video, Charlie Nielson
Important to know is that the first 3 screws requires a torx t6 SECURITY screwdriver. If you buy the cheaper toolkit like I did, it may not be included and requires.a return and purchasing the special security torx screwdrivers.
he should have written this!! thanks for adding this!
Awesome man!!!, I followed this and worked 100% perfect!, now I have 32GB of ram.
I didn't buy the crucial ram, because I happen to have an old ACER laptop that I don't use much which had 32 GB of ram, it was also 2666. I was nervous at first but it worked perfectly.
Also the 8GB of ram that came with the Mac Mini I installed them on the ACER laptop and is working fine also.
I just saved 600 bucks!, Thanks!
dc commesse how to know which ram my Mac mini will support
Thank you for helping upgrade my i7 2018 Mac Mini. Hardest part for me was dealing with power connector - it did not want to budge; motherboard screws - I had to get locking vice grips to get enough leverage on a tiny plastic driver to get them started. Everything else was easy-peasy. I used Samsung 32GB modules, PN M471A4G43MB1-CTD. I used iFixit Essentials Tool Kit for the Torx bits and driver. Everything worked from the start, no need for installing ram single module at a time. Love dodging Apple Tax!
This is nuts. In my mini 2011 all you had to do was pop off the bottom (w/o tools) and literally just eject the ram. Thanks apple :(
Yeah this video has convinced me that if/when I upgrade to this Mac Mini I'll just be a sucker and order the RAM upgrade at the time of purchase. It'll cost me more to do so, but I am NOT going through all this trouble and potentially breaking a new computer.
Agreed. Absolutely ludicrous. Doing it myself nonetheless as I don't mind a little tinkering for fun. In Australia I was able to purchase the 32GB of RAM for AU$184 -- Apple is charging AU $960! Even more ludicrous. Seriously, what on earth could possibly be the justification for that sort of mark up?
@EVANCOOL Agreed - tedious, but the Apple Tax on this is more than enough motivation to endure the tedium!
I really don't think this is Apple changing their design to make it harder to upgrade the ram. Look at the size of the fan and exhaust, there isn't room to place the ram whereas the 2011 Mac Mini(Which I also had and manually upgraded ram and hard drives) had a much smaller fan and exhaust that left space for the ram unit.
@@jaredsilvers2782 Agreed. I've since done the upgrade and it wasn't too difficult. Just tedious and time consuming, but worth DIY!
Excellent video. The process was covered in depth with easy to follow visuals and narrations. Much appreciated. Thank you for making this video.
Great tuto! Thanks a lot. Quite easy to do if you're a bit cautious.
Just a little emphasis on the ram modules. You have to kinda "click" them in place. Being too gentle/cautious, I didn't insert one of the RAM module (the front one) deeply enough, so when I restarted, the mac didn't turn on.
Big sweat time...
I then re-did the whole operation, in twice less time, with the module in its correct fit. Worked like a charm!
It works perfectly, thanks for uploading this.
Did as you told us and works a dream... you should have added that there is a speed hike (Geekbench 4) of 10% on both single and multicores...added bonus. Love these vids.
Great video! Just in stalled by 32G today! thanks for your guide!
probably the best how to video i've ever seen. great job !
I know this is an old video - BUT THANK YOU. Not sure why I waited so long to add more RAM. Followed you along the way and worked perfectly. Awesome!😄
Bought my Mac Mini a week ago and got the new RAM (32gb) from OWC this week. I installed it today and it's way more user friendly than you would think. The first time it didn't boot up because my RAM chips weren't as secure as they were supposed to be so I had to do it over but after that, it booted up just fine! You can save a little more money by purchasing a "lesser" brand electronics toolkit. It'll be more than enough to get the job done.
Great video! One thing........Maybe you could use more light! The inside of the Mini is black and lightabsorbing.
A little hard.....sometimes.....to see the details!
Thank you for this video! I just recently got a mac mini from a friend and was dying to know if it was possible to upgrade the RAM and this tutorial video was clear and concise. Again thank you!!
Great video! I followed every step and it worked like a charm. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much! You are right, it’s super easy with the right tools. Saved a bunch of money!
A walk in the park thanks to your excellent video guide. I took me 20 minutes to upgrade the ram and it saved med $500. The only issue I had was the led connector but I did as Jeff did, and it worked.
Thanks
I no longer have a working LED... Broke the connector right off the logic board.
This is one of the best how-to videos I have ever seen on CZcams. I truly enter the present moment while watching.
Anyway, do you also have a tutorial on MacBook air, Sir?
Thanks for watching! If you have any questions, please ask them and I'll try my best to answer. 👍🏽 Watch our review of the 2018 Mac mini here: czcams.com/video/IVqKmzZpyM4/video.html
9to5Mac I did everything on the video. Bought the toolkit and ram that was linked. Just does not work for me. Tried 3 times and every time put the original ram in and the computer worked again. With your ram linked there’s a slow blinking white light.
Awesome video.! Very clear and concise instructions on how to install ram thanks 👍🏽
Thank you for this. Great explanations and phenomenal pacing to give us time to watch and understand.
Amazing how you can easily save 300$. Thank you for the video
Great walk-through. It worked perfectly for me. It took me about 40 minutes, but was very straightforward. (I used a magnetized screwdriver, as you did, which is a must-have for this task, I'd suggest.) I saved a bundle upgrading my 2018 mac mini to 64GB of RAM today. Thank you!
does it have four RAM slots or two only? Thanks.
Excellent tutorial. Super clear. I had no problems with the LED connector. Thanks for the very clear walkthrough. Now I'm running 64 GB in this Mac Mini and it's a breath of fresh air.
J Adisa did the crucial 2x 32 sticks at 2666 MT/s work? I’m looking at buying them for my Mac mini setup.
Andrew Hooper I bought the Samsung memory - Samsung 32GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM Memory Module for Laptop Computers (260 Pin SODIMM, 1.2V) M471A4G43MB1 www.amazon.com/dp/B07N124XDS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_he8bEbG547W8F
Helpful, followed this and got it done in short order, thanks for this.
Thank you. First attempt my LED light did not blink and I almost fainted. Now fixed and thanks to your video.
Thanks, Jeff! Great video, easy install, super happy!
Thanks for the tutorial, wish I could save more by upgrading the SSD as well.
With the 4 TB3 ports just get an external SSD and move everything except for apps and system onto it. Works like a charm and they're not very expensive.

Thanks for the video. I'll be referring to it when I upgrade the memory in mine. Appreciate the tips in some other video's too.
Quality video, thanks for showing it from start to finish. Others will just say, "Now that the memory's in, just do the reverse of what you just did." No, thank you, I prefer my hand to be held for stuff like this.
Thanks guys, this is going to save a lot of money to a lot of people! Not as difficult as it might look and well explained! Bravi, ciao
Super video. Followed the easy to follow instructions and have an upgraded imac mini. Only fiddly bit was the led connector..
Done changing, testing time. Thanks for the tutorial! Hope it doesn't blow :)
Allan F is it good now bro? It’s been 8 months
@@pvzkid4899 XD lol
Jeff, thank you for this info on how to do this procedure. I looking to buy a mini mac mostly for photo editing. Any pointers toward this would be helpful in what I may need in the mini purchase set up & including any add on externally hardware as well. Thank you!!
great great stuff. thanks for the simple work through... just gold and much appreciated.
GREAT tutorial Jeff ! Thank you :)
Thanks 9to5Mac and Jeff! Very nice detailed explanation.
Thanks, helped a lot. I had absolutely no problem to detach LED power cable. It popped out with minimum force.
Thank you for this tutorial. Upgraded my min from 8 i to 64 using 2 - 32 cards.
Did you have any problem doing the upgrade procedure? Everything working perfectly? Thanks.
@@fisnet0 pulling the power was more difficult than I was expecting, it's a pretty tight spot for that cable. Also, I forgot to check to make sure I had the right bits, like the TR5, had to order a new set. So far everything is running smoothly
Outstanding Instructional video! thank you.
Spot on directions. Thanks so much!
Awesome - made it easy and great calming music!
Great!!! GET THE TOOLS VERY EASY to do well worth the investment. I am not handy by a long shot, but this was simple
with the right tools. Took less than an hour
That black ram looks so sick.
Thanks for the tutorial!
looks great to follow, thanks heaps. looking forward to giving this a try
Just performed the operation (8 -> 64GB). VERY helpful video! Thanks! My tip: make sure the memory units are firmly pushed all the way in before securing them. One of mine was a little loose so when I turned it on it showed 32GB (one slot). Had to redo the whole thing :) At least it took me 15min the second time around ;)
Best tip ever. I did exactly the same by being too gentle. While it's not difficult to put it all together and take back apart again, it is time consuming....especially, if like me, you have to repeat the process several times until I found on the web that you should make sure the modules are "firmly' in place!
Thank you, beautifully done and very helpful
So good you can probably do it with your eyes closed. Good job Jeff!
Thank you so much for this video!! Worked very well!
Warning to all: when you are putting back the entire logic board, be sure to push it in and reconnect the power side into the Mac mini first (the right side that has the plug in part). I tried sliding the entire thing in it in, and it almost bent the entire panel with all of the ports because of some “obstruction” that turned out to be this weird connection thing on the right side of the ports (power connector). I’m sorry if this doesn’t make any sense, I can’t really explain things that well.
Jeff Benjamin thank you for this tutorial.
Thought I’d add my 2 cents about my install....hopefully this helps others. Took a few attempts(like 4 tries-first time the Mac wouldn’t even boot up-removed the new sticks and replaced the originals which were 2x4GB and then only one was recognized). Eventually I didn’t actually remove the rubber side bumpers on the last few attempts, just left them in place, gently pulled them (the metal brackets and the rubber bumpers together) outward and the sticks “popped” forward where I could then remove them and replace with the 16GB sticks. I added the rear stick first and gently pushed it back until the side mounts engaged the stick....making sure the top “hooks” were indeed wrapped around the stick. Finally got the computer to recognize ONE of the new 16GB sticks but obviously not what I was looking for. Opened up the Mac Mini and performed the procedure again, switched the sticks between the two slots but this time I took my plastic tool and put downward pressure on the top of the sticks so they would achieve the most contact with the pins while seated. Fired the Mini up and they were recognized. I actually ordered a second set of 16GBx2 Crucial sticks because I thought, perhaps the first set were faulty but I think now that it was just that they weren’t seated deep enough-even though, like other memory installs you can feel the “click” when they are in place, that’s not really the case with this upgrade install. Frustrating as hell but eventually good to go.
SO HELPFUL. I'm in the middle of this myself, but with 64gb = $300 worth. It is indeed frustrating, especially when all I want to do is make music that helps with my wellness.
Word up! I hope you have success, my man.
Everything was pretty easy the actual problem I was having was getting the rubbers back on the sides of where the mount for the memory is. Boy did I get frustrated. I kept putting them on and they kept coming off. I continued and nothing will work. I thought maybe I was putting the left on the right or the right on the left but no that wasnt the case. Then all of a sudden after so much frustration I took a deep breath tried and again and they just went in smoothly with no issues. I was so nervous seeing a brand new mac straight out the box dissected and me running into a hiccup. 9to5 thank you for all the inspiration. I watched this video about 35 times to commit to memory and also watched it during my setup. Also learned the importance of an egpu thanks to you as well. Continue all your great work its truly appreciated.
I usually use my ipad not my memory to do this kind of thing lol
@@nasraidub weeks before buying my mac mini I always try to watch unboxing videos and just go on a youtube binge watch of what I am buying. So I ran into this video which saved me so much money. So even before purchasing I just kept watching it over and over lol and then I watched some of it the day I got my mac mini
Just wanted to say thank you for your amazing videos. I ordered a Mac mini and I try to watch this video once a day so that I can really know what I am doing. I also went with your RAM recommendation. Picked up Crucial 32 GB for only 299 instead of Apples 600 price mark. Also went with the Razer X Core because of your eGPU video. Unfortunately I couldnt afford the Vega 64 so I went with the sapphire pulse Rx580. So again thank you for these very detailed videos. Will also be installing Windows with Bootcamp. And I also picked up the Xbox controller that you have in your other video. You are awesome. Keep up the great work. Much appreciated.
Using the eGPU that you purchased, how do you find gaming to be on your Mac mini running Windows via bootcamp? I just ordered a 2018 Mac mini with the 3.2GHz 6‑core 8th‑generation Intel Core i7, 8 GB of RAM (which I plan to upgrade to 32 GB myself) and 2TB SSD storage on Friday. Can't wait until it gets here next week!
Morpheus I get my Mac mini on Tuesday. I just really trust 9to5 MAC that everything will work flawless for me. The only difference in set up is that I am going to run the Sapphire RX580 instead of the Vega 64. Once I set it up on Tuesday I will let you know.
Jacob Lallmohamad: Would it be possible for you to provide a link to the specific Sapphire RX580 eGPU you are planing on getting? I’m new to the world of GPU’s and I want to make sure I’m getting all the right stuff.

Very Helpful!! Much appreciated
Fantastic video.. ONE thing to note.. if you dont buy the $75 toolkit.. make sure to have a TR6 bit.. and check to make sure it has the dimple.. I was able to get most screws out with a standard T6.. but ultimately I needed the TR6. Otherwise no issues with install although (as is common with Apple components).. it does feel intimidating. I am somewhat experienced with DIY Apple upgrades also, but if you too feel intimidated, you can do it! Saved me hundreds. Thank you 9to5Mac!
Followed along yesterday and completed the upgade. The four RAM shield screws on my Mini were T4s, not T5s. Other than that, EZPZ. Thanks for the help.
Done, thanks for the instructions. Such a p.i.t.a just to swap some RAM. But, with an I7 I won't have to update my Mac for another few years. My 2013 iPad Air is still going strong after 6 years of hard daily use with no cover or protector.
It's funny that the little rubber bumpers are the most annoying part (in my case too). Approaching this seems very intimidating, but after doing it I realized it'd be very fast to do machine #2. But I'll just avoid that!
Very helpful and best speed for someone like me. Just subscribed
World Class presentation. THANKS
Thank you so much! Made my life easier!!
Very helpful. Thank you!
Final cut pro is a dream for the mac mini. Not really premiere but final cut its a dream.
I destroyed my 2012 Mini trying to replace the drives. I miss the older design that made it super easy to replace the memory. Glad I saw this or I would have just returned it.
Thanks a lot for the video. Explained in details, a nice guide. Power LED connector is just something, push the 2 wires in gently and make sure the golden leads are entirely in. Be sure you operate with a magnetic screwdriver. Live and learn.
Great video. I think it's worth mentioning that RAM in a 2018 Mac Mini DOES NOT click in, it simply sits and is HELD IN by the metal prongs on the side. I couldn't get the RAM that I thought had to click to click. I may have forced it in and I couldn't get the RAM to seat, had to take the Mini to the Genius bar 2 days later. Low and behold, it started up fine for them and the tests were all OK. I'm wondering if the RAM (OWC 64 gig), had to somehow seat itself after time. Please make a caption to this effect before you insert the RAM on the video. Thanks . Also, the RAM I thought would have fit in the iMac, but they are a few MM apart in size.
Pretty easy to upgrade the RAM. Great video!
Finally someone who agrees its not that hard
mustard shoes TM 😂 I was just looking at the comments below and it’s insane how many people find it a difficult upgrade. It’s straight forward.
Super video. Thanks!
Thank you, Jeff!
Very good. Thanks for the video.
