HT2845 How to get iMac to find wireless mouse?

I am in the Welcome page of a new install.  I have a Bluetooth mouse.  How do I get the iMac to discover the wireless mouse when I can't get to systems preferences?

Barry...
Thanks, but it doesn't go into discovery mode (I guess).  Anyway, no joy ....
If I had a wired mouse, I know I could get this done, but I don't.

    how to get imac 27 inch to work with asus triple mionitors to work through matro triple head 2 go

    I think I got a little ahead of myself explaining my problem, so let me clarify...
    Only the one iMac is having the network file deletion problem, but it is included in the network user logon problem.  So 4 out of 5 of the iMacs have had or are having logon problems with network users accounts using mobile accounts on the systems.  2 of the 4 I have wiped and started over on and the other 2 have different network accounts being used by the primary system users.  The 5th iMac has not caused any problems except I forgot to mention that the USB on it seems flaky.
    So we are apparently full of problems. 

  • How to get Windows to find airport disk?

    I know that I have to get Bonjour to find the airport disk, but the Bonjour that there is for download is just for printer wizard. It won't find the disk, will it? I have no idea how to get Bonjour to find something else besides printer for windows.
    And more, when I put a USB hub and add a printer + HD to airport extreme, the power is just enough to run the diskor something. My HD just disappears from the airport extreme. My HD is WD 250GB Passport III Media (FAT32 format)
    Pls help. and Thx in adv.
    By the way, the windows we use is XP and Bonjour 1.0.5

    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) is not designed by Apple to provide power to the hard drive.
    Apple recommends using a powered hard drive or a powered USB hub to power the hard drive.

  • How to get rid of find on page above keyboard

    I can not get rid of find on page bar above the keyboard on my ipad2.  I tried closing all apps, shutting down the ipad as suggested in other solutions, but it did not work. 

    If you are talking about the Find on Page feature in Safari, you can't get rid of that. It is there for a reason,  and that is so that you can search for something g on a given web page.

  • HT3055 how do i re-pair my wireless mouse

    I removed my wireless mouse from the bluetooth list on my macbook pro. But i cannot get to pair back the wireless mouse. How do i reconnect the wireless mouse back?

    Have you installed the firmware patch for the printer (here)?  If not, it needs to be installed over a USB connection.  
    Try that and then re-install with these directions.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • How to get Siri to find more specific things

    This may or may not need to go to Apple feedback, and if it does, sorry.
    I also admit I may be asking a lot.  Yet, here we go.
    Ok, as a sports writer who covers NHL hockey, it's super handy for me to use Siri to find stats really quickly.  I love that I can just ask "Who leads the Hurricanes in total points?" and boom, there it is.  Or get standings imediately.  Indespensible to the point that I am seriously considering writing my 5s off as a business expense.  True story.
    However... Siri has limits.  There's stats like all time record against certain teams, who leads teams or the league in more specific stats, and especially projected lineups.  I'd looooove to be able to ask Siri "Who's starting in goal for the Bruins tonight?" and get an answer boom right there.
    Is learning how to find more specific items a thing Siri can do, and if so, how would I go about teaching Siri this skill?  This is information readily available online, but having Siri fetch it would be fifty shades of awesome.
    Is this possible, or am I just asking way too much?

    It is not possible.

  • How to get rid of finder bar in secondary display on Mavericks

    I'm use the secondary display but I don't want the finder bar to be shown how do I delete that option?

    Ah - thank you very much for reminding me about that!
    I'd seen that option a couple of days back but hadn't pursued it because I didn't want to do the logout/login required to activate the change at that time.  Since then I've been putting up with the secondary menu bar and - more significantly - apps which used to exclusively open/live on the secondary display defaulting to the primary display.  That was really beginning to bug me and has also been solved by this change so, thanks again for the reminder.

  • I downloaded lion and cloud does not show up in my system  preferences. Not sure how to get started without finding icloud., I downloaded lion and cloud does not show up in my system  preferences. Not sure how to get started without finding icloud.

    I just downloaded lion and cloud does not show up in my system preferences. Where is it hiding so I can set up icloud and see what lion is offering that is different from snow leopard.

    I purchased Lion on the app program but that did not seem to update my software or my operating system. Curious. It showed up on my menu bar saying it was downloading then disappeared. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Suggestions where I should look to make sure it is installed (which clearly it isn't)
    Thanks Roger

  • How to get iTunes to find all missing songs which are in the library

    iTunes keeps telling me it can't find around 150 songs and I have to manually point it to each folder - it offers to use location to find other missing tracks but that only works for songs in the same album folder, not other artists/albums. Is there something I can do to find all songs at once?

    Hi,
    Try Doug's Applescripts for iTunes, he has one for finding missing songs.
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=listmias
    You can browse his site to find where to put the downloaded script.
    Good luck.

  • How do I disconnect a wireless mouse?

    I have an iMac with a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard. I also have a MacBook Pro with a wireless mouse. Today, for some strange reason, the iMac's wireless mouse disconnected from the iMac and connected to my MacBook Pro. I finally was able to reconnect the iMac mouse to the iMac; however, it is still showing up in the list of wireless mice on my MacBook Pro. It is disconnected from my laptop, but is there any way I can get it off the list?

    System Preferences>Bluetooth. You should be able to delete it there.
