Mac Mini and Bluetooth Recent Problems (Mighty Mouse, Wireless Keyboard)

Hello there,
I have an issue with my Mac Mini.
We had a storm here recently, so I switched my Mac off. After that, I turned it on, but to my surprise my Wireless Mighty Mouse and Wireless Keybord do not function any more. The green dot under the mouse nad keyboard flashes for a few seconds and turns off. I tried to plug my regular mouse and keyboard but it seems the do not work too. Any solutions?

i dont know if you have another mac around but have you tried repairing the disk by putting it into Target disk mode and hooking up another mac to it? if nothing else, try putting the install CD/DVD and boot from there by holding down "c" as it boots. if that works then it may just be a bad BT card. if it doesnt work then you may have bad usb ports. i hope you have applecare!
a tip for bluetooth HIDs, spread them apart. you will experience problems on occasion where their signals get crossed and they fail to sync right.
by the way, if you went the extra mile to turn off your mac because you were concerned about it, then why didnt you just unplug it from the outlet?

  • Mac Mini and Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse

    I have a Mac Mini as a server. I've decided to do a clean install of Mountain Lion and Mountain Lion Server. I don't have any wired keyboard or mouse and am having trouble getting the Mac Mini to see the keyboard and mouse. I can buy cheap wired ones but I'd like to use my bluetooth ones if at all possible. Can anyone offer some tips for doing this successfully? I need a method that assumes I have a Mac Mini with a clean, formated disk and a bootable flash drive with the latest copy of Mac OS X Mountain Lion.

    I did unpair the mouse. The keyboard has only ever beenpaired with the Mac Mini. Today I was finally able to get both devices talking with the Mac Mini, but I really don't know how I did this. I just played with turning them on and off. If the Mac Mini has been newly formatted (as I finally managed to you), is the pairing information retained?
    I'm thinking there is more to this issue than just bluetooth pairing.
    Thanks for your quick reply. (I'm still redownloading Mountain Lion from the Apple store and making a new bootable flash drive as the one I had won't let me install. Not sure why.)
    (If the issue is just one of pairing it would appear I don't need a wired mouse and keyboard.)

  • Windows 7 and Wireless Mighty Mouse, Wireless Keyboard and sound problem

    Hi,
    I just installed Windows 7 x64 Ultimate on my iMac 24" white ( OS X Leopard 10.5 ). Surprisingly, it installed without any problems. The only problems I have now are the Wireless Mighty Mouse and the Wireless Keyboard ( alu ).
    After I installed Windows I inserted the Leopard Instal DVD and installed Boot Camp. I got a message right away saying that: "This program has known compatibility issues...". I clicked Run program and continued. Soon I got the same warning, but this time not for Boot Camp, but Intel Chipset Device Software. I clicked Run program yet again and it continued installing. Then I got a different warning: "Service KeyAgent' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." I clicked Ignore and installation continued. I got another "Service Mac HAL' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." warning, clicked Ignore again and after that it finished soon and I restarted the computer.
    When I came back into Windows there was no Apple folder anywhere or any sign that I have just installed Boot Camp ( should there be? )
    I installed Boot Camp Update 2.1 for Windows XP ( because Vista x64 version wouldn't start ) and basically I got the same warnings I did when I installed Boot Camp from the Leopard DVD ( described above ). I also tried to instal Boot Camp Update 2.2 for Windows, but it didn't start. I also downloaded Bluetooth Update 1.0, but all I got was a message saying: "This update is not intended for this computer and will not be installed.".
    There is also no sound.
    This is basically it, I really hope some of you who run Windows 7 with wireless keyboards and mice can help me, because I desperately need this to work ( I use a Windows only program for school ).
    PS. I have a 2007 iMac 24" white and while it is not on the we're-not-supporting-that list for the infamous Windows 7 Boot Camp update, all other iMacs from its generation are. Any ideas?

    Found a solution for the "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model" message. Here is the link: http://www.techulous.com/hardware/how-to-apple-boot-camp-64-bit-for-windows-7-on -unsupported-macs.html
    Everything works ( for ) now. Yay!

  • Mac Mini and Bluetooth connectivity

    Can I install an Apple magic mouse and magic trackpad with my Mac Mini (early 2009) using OS X Lion ?  Anybody have this set-up ?  Any issues with having both active bluetooth devices ?  I'm currently using the magic mouse and want to add the trackpad when I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion.

    It will see each device as a unique BT device and there should be no issues pairing both. I do not have a M Trackpad, but as an experiment, I paired two Magic Mouses. No issues.

  • Windows XP on Mac Mini and some graphics problems

    I used BootCamp 1.4 to run a Windows Xp on my mac mini. Everything seemed fine, I installed the Bootcamp Window drivers. There is some problem, however, when I launch games. Screen Resolution is set on 1680x1050 pixels (Apple Display 20"), but when I open a game the screen is shrinked to a small box with resolution no more then 640x480 pixels. Graphics on games is OK, high details, fine rendering, but I can't understand why is the screen so small.
    I've downloaded the latest Intel graphics video driver for 945 chipset, but still the problem resist.
    Thanks to everybody in advance.

    Hi Alex. When started a game, it should open at fullscreen, no matter what the resolution is. The problem with my games is that this box I am talking is the whole screen!
    I tried to uninstall the video driver and rebooted. Without graphic drivers Windows loaded in the same small box (screen). Than I installed the drivers again and restarted. On the next start the video resolution was ok (1680x050) and it was fullscreen. I'm pointing out this because I think that problem is not only about the games, but it is something connected with the drivers, the hardware or the video card..
    That's why I am asking for help.
    Thank you.

  • Mac mini and optical output problems

    I have just purchased a new Apple Mac Mini connected it to my Tv via HDMI and now am having problems getting the sound working.
    I have connected via optical output and the cable itself works and I can see red lights at either end.
    When plugged into the Mac the 'optical output' is greyed out(it does change when plugged in)
    When the volume control comes up it has a circle with a cross through it.I have tried what i consider most 'normal' things to try. Currently doing a update of the Mac software. Please Help, PLEASE!

    So you have connected via a Mini-Jack -> Toslink cable from the Mac Mini to your receiver? You haven't specified what cables you are trying to use. My guess from the red circle with a X through your digital output is it may not like the cable you are trying to use.
    I have the above described setup but I am able to select Digital Output in Sound Preferences. The volume control is greyed out for some reason but does not have a circle with the cross through it so I just control the volume via the receiver itself. iTunes still allows me control of volume, as do other video/audio controls in the web browser etc, it's just the main OS X volume control that is inaccessible.
    Strange, but liveable.

  • Mac Mini and MuVo V200 problem

    I have Mac Mini .83 a few months now. Yesterday, I've, for the first time, tried to connect my MuVo V200 via USB. The problem is that Mac simply can't see MuVo at all!!! With other devices I have no problem. What I suppose to do?
    Thanks anyone who can help?

    Did you have the Mac before you bought the Muvo V 200? You should have read the box and listed requirements,if you bought this yourself. Below are the minumum requirements for the Muvo V 00 or 200.

  • Mac Mini and Gigabit Ethernet problems

    My iMac will start to run on the gig network talking fine to my new Intel SS4000-E NAS, then after about an hour of inactivity the ethernet port will lose its DHCP address and drop to a 169 number.
    If you open the network tool, you can not get a renewed address. The only way to get the interface back and running is to reboot.
    I was working tuning Jumbo Frames to get the most out of the network, and I thought maybe it was the jumbo frames, so I moved it back to the default, but found that not to matter.
    it seems to be the GIG port speeds that do this, if I run at 100Mb the port does not show this to happen.
    Any comments Apple?
    I have a Netgear GS116 switch, Intel NAS and several PC's, all with Gig cards, non of the PC's exibit this issue.
    Anyone see this show up in their units?

    We are not Apple, so we can't help you with that.
    The machine isn't going to sleep is it?
    Did you try a different port on the switch? Checking the cabling is an excellent idea. Sometimes they cheat and do not wire things to true Cat5 or 6 specs.

  • Can I use my apple wireless mouse and keyboard with my Mac Mini and Windows PC?

    Hello, I recently dug up a windows PC computer for side projects, and I was able to get by using my wireless apple keyboard and mouse for my Mac mini, and then using a usb mouse for my PC, I want to eliminate the usb keyboard and mouse and just use the bluetooth keyboard. Both computers are usually on all the time, and the windows PC uses a bluetooth adapter. I can get my keyboard and mouse to work on both, but I have to sync them to whatever system I would like everytime I want to use it. Is there any solution that when I choose the Mac Mini my keyboard and mouse will work for the Mac mini, and when I choose my windows pc, the keyboard will only be used on windows without having to resync?

    To my knowledge, no.

  • Mac Mini and a non Apple Wireless Keyboard

    I'm getting a Mac Mini but already have a Microsoft wireless mouse and keyboard. The mouse and keyboard have a hub that is connected via USB. My question is will this keyboard and mouse work with my new Mini?
    Thanks in advance!
    Chad

    I have a mini and a Logitech Cordless Comfort Duo (wireless keyboard and mouse) connected via a KVM switch. I recently switched to Mac, so I'm not sure I know how it's supposed to work, but the Option key seems to behave as the Command key should, and vice versa.
    In TextEdit:
    Option-Click allows me to select non-contiguous items.
    Command-Click allows me to select only the portions of text I click+drag over - without automatically selecting whole lines.
    Control-Click mimics right-clicking the mouse.
    Is this how it should work?

  • I cant establish a connection between Mac mini and the wireless keyboard

    I just bought a Mac mini but I can't link the wireless keyboard with the Mac mini

    Same with my new mac mini.
    Got it brand new via the online shop.
    Happy to start with the new mac i really got dissapointed by the fact that it`s impossible to pair the wireless keyboard unless you first connect a USB keyboard to the mac mini and start the configuration.
    THIS ***** !!!
    No hint at all from apple that you first have to connect the USB keyboard.
    I had to borrowed a USB keyboard from my neighbour :-((
    After setting things up it was no problem at all to establish the BT connection with the keyboard.
    Works fine now.

  • HT1338 I bought a new Mac Mini and tried to pair my keyboard with the Mac Mini. They will not pair via Bluetooth. What is wrong?

    I have recently bought a Mac Mini and tried to pair the new apple wireless keyboard with the Mac but after trying 6 times no luck. What can I do about this?

    try this method:
    You need at least a USB mouse. If you don't get any option to pair a keyboard, click through the setup until you get to the "Create Your Computer Account" screen, right click in any of the text fields and select Substitutions --> Show Substitutions.  From there click on text preferences.  The preferences pane will popup and from there you can just click the back button (next to show all) to get to the full preferences menu.  Next click on keyboard, then select setup bluetooth keyboard and you're golden. 

  • I have Mac mini and I'm trying to listen to music through YouTube it works. But my problem is that instead of the music playing through the tv speakers it plays through the Mac box. ):

    Are you using HDMI or an Apple Airplay Module to go to the TV Speakers?
    If you are using an HDMI it's straight through output. The internal speakers are disabled.
    If you are using an Airplay Module:
    - Go on iTunes
    - Locate the Airplay icon that has a TV with an up arrow icon much like your iPhone has for Bluetooth
    - Click on that and Airplay to ModuleName
