Learning More, Service, and Support

Your Mac mini doesn’t have any user-serviceable parts, except the memory. If you need service, take your Mac mini to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or contact Apple for service. You can find more information about your Mac mini through online resources, onscreen help, System Information, or Apple Hardware Test.

If you want a certified technician to install additional memory, contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider or an Apple Retail Store.

Online Resources

For online service and support information, go to www.apple.com/support. Choose your country from the pop-up menu. You can search the AppleCare Knowledge Base, check for software updates, or get help from Apple’s discussion forums.

Onscreen Help

You can find answers to many of your questions, as well as instructions and troubleshooting information, in Help Center. In the Finder, choose Help > Help Center.

System Information

To get information about your Mac mini, use System Information. It shows you what hardware and software is installed, the serial number and operating system version, how much memory is installed, and more. Open System Information (in the Utilities folder in Launchpad).
