As long as its capacity will allow it. Also make sure it's the correct ddr memory

Not sure of 2009 though I installed in 2012 and 2013 Mac mini and it worked perfectly.

I have a 2009 iMac and went from 2 gb to 16 and it is great. Check on your computer it will tell you what kind of ram and how many slots are available.

Yes, I have upgraded my Mac Mini to 8 GB and am running Mavericks. You can find the instructions to upgrade it on iFixit.com. It takes a little effort and you will need a paint scraper to get the case open. Taking off the case can be a little scary, but if you take your time, all will work out okay. Also be sure to pay close attention to the instructions regarding removing the antennas as they are quite easy to break if you don't pay attention to what you're doing. One last piece of advice, once you get the RAM installed, put it back together, but leave the case off to be sure it starts up correctly. This will save you from having to remove it again if it fails. Good luck! Yes, I have upgraded my Mac Mini to 8 GB and am running Mavericks. You can find the instructions to upgrade it on iFixit.com.

Hi Willy, I will answer categorically YES. But, here is a great article from MacWorld http://www.macworld.com/article/1143511/unibody_macbook_review.html where it confirms that 8Gb can be installed. On thing for sure, Kingston makes great quality products. So, after reading the mac-Article, I'm would get the memory. 4Gb won't take you too far. My macMini (with the same processor as your laptop) came with 4Gb once I ran PhotoShop I was swimming in glue!

Apple Mac Mini MC936LL/A with Lion Server (NEWEST VERSION)Komputerbay 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR3 PC3-10600 10666 1333MHz SODIMM 204-Pin Laptop Memory 9-9-9-25 Are the above compatible?

your Mac needs a special MSATA card slot for it to be compatible. I do not think apple uses this technology. You can however use a standard SSD drive for your Mac Mini.

My guess is it will work fine if the interface is laptop IDE. I never took apart a mac mini.

I wouldn't see why not. Check the about Mac in your settings and see what type of ram you are running. It should say what is compatible as well

Yes. I have. Mac Mini (2012) as well and I installed this Crucial 16GB kit. It works great.

Hi Kate, yes they will work perfectly, you can go up to 16gb of ram max ( 2x4 you will get 8gb or 2x8 you will get 16gb ) no problems, I just put 4x8 on my iMac and I am running at 32gb of ram. I checked the specs and it will do on a brand new Mac Mini.

As others have pointed out it SHOULD work, but Apple hardware is sometimes very picky about the RAM. The nice thing is Amazon has a great return policy if it doesn't work!

Yes, it does. 8GB is the maximum amount of ram that your model macbook supports. Apple might say otherwise, but...it works lol.

There is a page on Apple's website that may answer you question (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270?viewlocale=en_US#link1). Your Mac does not support 16GB of RAM, though 8GB are enough to run both these programs smoothly. This memory is not the right choice for your Mac, as it is (PC3 - 12800), and your Mac requires (PC3 - 8500). I've already searched the one that is just right, which is in this link: http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3-8500-SODIMM-204-Pin-CT2K4G3S1067M/dp/B008LTBJFM/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1413312655&sr=1-1&keywords=Crucial+8GB+Kit+%284GBx2%29+DDR3+%28PC3+-+8500%29

It should work just fine. I use logic 9 on snow leopard. I don't think there was that big of a difference between 8 and 9 that would cause any real problems
