Does the Microsoft desktop 2000 work on the new Mac mini (2011)

I was wondering; does Microsofts desktop 2000 wireless keyboard and mouse work with the new 2011 Mac Mini? It says it requires a disk installation for software or something like that, and the new mini doesn't have an optical drive.. Please answer as soon as possible! Thanks.

If you have another Mac with a CD drive you can use that, however try the following webpage which has a download option for Mac.

  • Does the new mac mini have airplay

    I have a late 2010 Mac Mini and I was looking into it the see if the new Mac Mini offered Airplay. If it did I would be looking to sell my old Mac Mini and purchase a new one sometime in the near future.

    Yes it will. Any 2011 or newer Mac mini will support it.
    Here's the article
    About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X

  • What does the new mac mini really look like? raised or not?

    looking at the images on the mac mini page http://www.apple.com/macmini/ it clearly shows the mini with it's front edge resting on the ground in all the images from the front. the reflections touch. but when you follow the 'Design' link it shows that the new mini is resting on a raised foot, so it floats.
    i'm pretty sure the floating version is the real version, but why the inconsistency?

    it's not an optical illusion. it's just wrong in the images. i agree with the people who made the illustrations, it looks better when it's flat on the ground and not floating.

    that gives you a better idea of what the new mac mini looks like from the front in a similar angle to the images on apples site. notice the very large gap between the reflection and the front face of the mini. also notice the large black shadow caused by the mini being raised up on the black circular foot on it's base. There isn't an angle that you you can move the camera to that would eliminate the shadow or distance between the reflection and the case and still see the front face as you do in the images.
    it's just an odd inconsistency that misrepresents what the final product looks like.

  • How well does the new Mac mini preform

    Hi, im thinking of picking up the 2014 Mac mini (i5, 2.6ghz, 8gb ram) And I was wondering how well it performs with yosemite,
    thanks

    If I needed a second computer around the house for email, surfing the web, correspondence, and editing family pictures I'd pick one up or look for a good deal on the previous model. Besides the obvious downside of not being upgradable, the internal hard drive (as opposed to the SSD) is a serious bottleneck on performance. Several years ago I said I'd never buy another computer with a hard drive and that was when I had an iMac with a 7200 RPM drive. Now that Apple is installing slow 5400 RPM drives in its base desktops I advise everyone to get an SSD or Fusion Drive. I was frankly surprised how good Intel's Iris integrated graphics is (compared to its previous efforts)

  • Does the new mac mini have Hdmi 1.4?

    I'm thinking about buying a Mac mini in combination with a 3D monitor but every where on the Internet they are talking about HDMI 1.4a or something like that... Is it necessary? And does the Mac mini (2012) have it?

    Not certain, but it says here that 1.4 does not support 3-D, that 1.4a is needed...

  • Does the new mac mini server do lights out management?

    can't see it in the tech specs anywhere...

    I would say no. The Mac Pro does not do it and that is used by a number of my clients as a server.

  • Can the new Mac Mini run OSX 10.7.5?

    I have the new 1.4GHz Mac Mini w/4GB Ram. I bought a Mediasonic external 4 bay drive. It's connected by USB 3.0. One of the drives in the enclosure is my old HD with Mac OSX 10.7.5 installed. I've tried booting up from that drive through the USB 3 connection with no luck. Is it an external drive issue or does the new Mac Mini not support that old of an OS? Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!

    Not outside of a product such as VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, or VMware Fusion; Mac OS X 10.7.5 doesn't contain the drivers needed to boot that Mac model.

  • Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor on the new Mac Mini Server

    Does the Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor on the new Mac Mini Server support 3D Monitors?
    I'm in the process of purchasing a 3D LED Monitor (27" S27A950D Series 9 LED 3D Monitor) and would like to know if it will be fully compatible with the Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor that came with the Mac Mini Server (Mid 2011).
    Will it be possible to play 3D Games and watch 3D movies with this graphics card?
    Also, does the new Mac Mini Server come with 1st or 2nd Generation Intel Core Processor?

    Can I download iWork? Or could I just download Microsoft office from the Microsoft website so I don't have to buy a disk drive?

    I cannot get the new mac mini to wake from sleep and trigger the displays - this is the second mac mini I have had and both have had the same issues. It worked before on my macbook extremely well...
    Using 2 displays, connected via HDMI and thunderbolt
    Been on to support a number of times now - is anyone experiencing the same issues?

    BUMP.
    I actually showed this to Apple geniuses when I took my computer to the apple store, and it's still here. In console it says:
    kernel[0]: Previous Shutdown Cause: -128
    I don't know if that's related or not, but maybe helps?

  • Does the new mac pro support the Apple cinema display

    Does the new mac pro support the Apple cinema display

    There is no 2007 23" Cinema Display
    There is a 2002 23" display that has the Apple ADC connector
    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.jpg
    There is also the 2004 23" display with a DVI connector.
    For the latter you just need a mini display port to DVI connector that plugs into the Thunderbolt port
    For the former you need that connector plu an DVI to ADC connector

  • Does anybody know if the new mac mini introduced today will do hd audio bitstream?

    I'm very interested in the new mac mini that has been unveiled today. I planned to buy one in the past but didn't because it seems that it couldn't do bitstreaming for hd audio (true-hd and dts-hd for example).
    As I plan to use it as an htpc with xmbc so this is a feature that is important for me. For what I heard, the last generation of mac mini couldn't not because of the hardware but of a driver issue in mac os x. So I was wondering if that still the case.
    Thanks!

    The previous model supported multi-channel audio via the HDMI but did not officially support HD audio.
    However I seem to recall that XBMC for Mac had already managed to do this on the previous model Mac mini. For clarification since XBMC for Mac managed to do this it would appear the hardware already could do this but Apple have not provided built-in software support for this.
    See http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/42798-hd-audio-codec-support/
    I could not find a similar statement saying Plex itself supports HD Audio bit-streaming via HDMI.
    With regards to the new Mac mini I do not expect there to be any change. That is OS X itself will not support this, Plex will still not support this but I would still expect XBMC for Mac to support this.
    PS. The MacBluRayPlayer I feel also does not support this.

  • Does the new Mac OS reslove the missing icon issue with photoshop cs6

    Thre has been a longstanding issue with missing icons of CS6 in the Mounatin Lion. Has the issue been fixed now with  Mavericks?

    Thank you, it was brief enjoyment. I just about got it set up as I wanted it. Wednesday evening as I was browsing the internet with the Mac Mini, and re-formatting the HD's of my G5 ready for eBay, the new Mac Mini died on me, less than a week old.
    Returned to seller, they confirmed it was dead. I should take delivery of another new unit tomorrow, (Monday). I have lent the technician a paint scraper, so he can fit the new RAM without marking the bottom this time...
    Second time lucky hopefully. It could have been the power supply? I will probably never know.
