New Mac Mini will not recognize bluetooth keyboard

I just bought a new mac mini, and the apple keyboard. I can see the welcome "Use english" screen, and I press ENTER on the keyboard but nothing happens! I know the keyboard is not the problem becuase I tested it on my iPad and it worked. I've un-paired it with my iPad and tried again and nothing happens. The trackpad pointer is visible but it does not recognize a CLICK.....WHAT CAN I DO ???? (I don't have a wired keyboard or mouse to hook-up to it )

Mac Mini 2014 with Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse

Hi all,
I'm currently in the process of moving from my old MacBook to a Mac Mini 2014 and I have a couple of questions regarding functionality of the Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse with the Mac Mini.
As these are the only keyboard and mouse I have available to me as I currently only have the one computer in the house, I'm wondering how I will pair them with my new Mac Mini (arriving next week for Christmas) without a wired user input device (keyboard or mouse). When I paired them with my MacBook, I of course had its trackpad and keyboard to navigate through the various steps, but as the Mac Mini does not have these, how does the pairing process work? Will I have to get my hands on a wired mouse/keyboard? I'm asking in advance because I need to get my new system up and running to start work on 27th December and so I need to know if I should pick up a cheap wired mouse/keyboard in advance.
My second question relates to the Mac Mini, Apple bluetooth keyboard and Boot Camp. Usually, when I want to boot into Windows on my MacBook, I hold down the Option/Alt key on my MacBook's built-in keyboard to be given the choice of operating systems. Sometimes when I do this using the bluetooth keyboard, it hasn't paired in time and it boots straight into OS X, so I have to wait until that has booted, shut down and then try again. Clearly, this might be a problem on a Mac Mini if I have urgent work I need to complete in Windows, so rebooting over and over until my keyboard finally pairs in time isn't desirable. Any tips here would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your help!

If you unpair your BT KB and mouse from the old computer they should pair during the initial setup of the Mini. However, sometimes they donot a wired KB and mouse is required. You can use any USB PC KB and mouse.
Once you get the BT KB to work you can use the Option key on the BT KB while booting to get your choice of OS to boot into.

My new mac mini does not see usb drives, but in hardware info the usb is visible

my new mac mini does not see usb drives, but in hardware info the usb is visible
i'tried several usb flash drives even brand new ones, they are visible onder hardware info but they are not on the desktop nor in the finder.
what is wrong and doe anyone has a solution ?

It does not show up in disk utility, its only visible through systeminformation.
When you plug in the USB flash drive and then refresh systeminformation it becomes visible.
To remove it I shut down the computer because I cannot eject the USB device anywhere.
After starting up again when I have removed the flash drive it has gone from the systeminfo USB list.
By the way my USB mouse and keyboard are working fine, I also changed ports of these and they still keep on working so I don't think the USB ports are defect.
I guess it some kind software problem, and because I'm new to Apple I do not know much about it how to solve this.

ITunes on new Mac Mini does not show shared libraries on network or songs on NAS drive

iTunes on new Mac Mini does not show shared libraries on network or songs on NAS drive
The latest version of iTunes on a 3-month old Mac Mini (8 gig RAM, OS 10.10.2) does not see any of the shared iTunes libraries on a MacBookPro (MBP) (OS 10.9.5) and a 14-month old Mac Mini (OS 10.9.5). And a network shared drive/media server does not appear as well. I have a Gigabite Ethernet G4 and on it, the MPB and the "old" mini I can see the various shared music libraries and NAS, but not on the new Mini.
The little house with a music note inside it that I see on the upper left corner of the iTunes 12.1 window on my MBP does not appear on iTunes 12.1 on the new Mac Mini. I have gone through all the iTunes preferences and can not find where I can turn on this feature. The new Mac Mini is on the local network and I can reach the internet successfully.
I have been using iTunes since its beginning (still have a PowerTower Pro with a working copy of SoundJam), so I am not a newbie, but this has me baffled.

May I add, that I gave full rights to the user at the Mac Mini to access and change data on the server drive for ITunes Media.

My mac mini does not boot, after backing the enire system onto an external drive with Carbon Copy Clone

My Mac Mini does not boot, after backing the enire system onto an external drive with Carbon Copy Clone. I had switched the start-up disk back to the original of course. Now all I see is the Apple logo. What should I do? Thanks in advance.

Try disconnecting any external devices, especially hard drives
and try rebooting.
If that doesn't help, then :
If you are running Lion, boot to the Recovery HD and run a
Repair Disk on the OSX partition.
If Snow Leopard, boot to the installl DVD and run Repair Disk.
Also, you may want to bookmark this:

Help - Mac Mini does not boot after re-install of OS X

Hi,
I have a Mac Book Pro and Mac Mini. I needed to reinstall my Mac Mini but lost the install disks. The install disks of the Macbook do not work (machine specific). So what I did was boot the Mac Mini in firewire target mode and installed OS X to it from the Macbook. Worked ok. Except for one thing: The Mac mini does not boot the fresh OS X installation. I get a blinking folder icon with a question mark on top of it.
I booted from the Mac OS X install disk, repaired disk permissions etc. and tried to use the "Startup Disk" utility to select the hard drive as a boot device. But that utility does not offer me to select the hard disk, it doesn't even show up (while DiskUtility can perfectly see it).
Any hints for me? I am pretty much stuck right now.
Thanks

Well, see, the fact that it wouldn't let you boot from the MacBook install disks should have been your first clue to not try to do it. There's a reason it wouldn't let you. The MacBook install disks contain a version of the OS specific to the MacBook, in order to prevent people doing what you just tried to do (ie, installing the same copy of the OS on multiple machines).
If you don't have the Mac Mini system disks any more, you'll have to go buy a copy of OS X. You could also ask for help from an Apple Store, if there's one in your area, but I honestly don't know if they would give you new disks. I would think they should (for a small fee), since Mac Mini system disks would be useless to anyone who didn't already own a Mac Mini, but you never know.

Mac Mini first boot and bluetooth keyboard not recognised

Hi Apple Support Community-
I have just purchased a brand new Mac Mini and App Wireless Keyboard. Unfortunately upon first boot, the Mac Mini is requesting I connect my bluetooth keyboard by switching it on, however even though the green light flashes, after the 5 second startup acknowledgement, there is no response from the Mac Mini.
To confirm the keyboard is working, I have successfully paired it with my MacBook. I do not have a USB Keyboard or Mouse and without purchasing additional hardware, do you have any suggestions to work around this problem?
Thanks, Julian

Hi Julian,
Sometime a Mac can't pickup the connection of a bluetooth keyboard or mouse is normal. Whatever your Mac is brand new or not.
I will do the following if the brand new Mac can't pickup the bluetooth connection, but make sure the bluetooth keyboard and mouse is not yet paired with other computer, that means you have to un-pair the keyboard and mouse from your MacBook before you perform the follow step:
- Switch off the Mac
- Switch off the Keyboard and Mouse which not yet paired with other computer, remove its battery, and re-install the battery after 10 seconds
- Switch on the Keyboard and Mouse first, make sure both devices have a green light flashes (the light flashed at intervals, like a pulse **...**...sorry my poor English), that means the devices is discoverable.
- Switch on the Mac asap if all the bluetooth keyboard and mouse is ready, and let the Mac pair both device (according the screen instruction)
If the method still doesn't work, the worst case is: i'm afraid you have to connect wired keyboard and mouse to finish the Setup Assistant, and pair both bluetooth devices by Bluetooth Preferences. Once both bluetooth devices connected, disconnect wired keyboard and mouse.

Lumia 1520 does not support Bluetooth Keyboard (HI...

I would very much like to buy a Lumia 1520 as it would spare me from carrying both a phone and a tablet.
However, I am not going to as, for reasons which utterly defeat me, the Bluetooth stack does not support a keyboard. The HID (Human Interface Device) aspect has not been included.
I am utterly baffled by this simple omission. From my Nokia N95 through to my N8 I was able to use a keyboard. I even still have a Nokia one which folds.
Would someone from Nokia be good enough to:-
a. let me know why this bit of simple but basic functionality has been left out?
b. when, if ever, it is likely to be included in an update?

Agreed on all points -
1. Lack of HID support is a glaring omission that needs to be fixed
2. Microsoft is responsible for omitting HID support (which existed in Windows Mobile 6.5!)
3. There is hope for the future when Nokia/Microsoft collaboration is tighter after the merger.
As mentioned above, a WP device can see a bluetooth keyboard - it can even perform the pairing handshake. It generates a random code, you enter the code on the BT keyboard, the two become paired. But then nothing.
I can add a little insight to this conversation: If you were to ask Microsoft folks, the answer would probably go something like this: "We have a finite number of resources. So to support one feature, we'd have to cut something else. What feature would you be willing to lose in exchange for HID support?"
I am basing this on similar conversations I've seen on MSFT discussion boards about support for entire-device backups - not piece-meal app-supported "in the cloud" data storage, but total backup/restore functionality.
I personally think it is embarassing that Windows Phone does not support the HID profile. I know we're getting close. The code is already on Windows RT for tablets. So I sure hope it's in the pipeline for WP. Time will tell I suppose.

Mac mini does not boot, no video signal, no chime

My mini "starts" without chime when I press the power button on the back. The fan starts, the light in front goes on and I hear some clicks which could be the hard drive. The screen remains black (no signal) and the mini does not respond to the USB keyboard power button. It does not start when pressing it and will not power down if I press it for any length of time when it is on. Pressing the power button on the back for some time shuts it down.
Time to get a new one?
Ingmar

You can try:
Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Then try booting from your installer DVD. If still no success then you most likely have a hardware failure.

Mac mini does not recognize external drive

I have an 80GB external drive full of music files. I disconnected my computer to move to a new house and, with everything re-connected, the mini does not recognize the external drive. I wonder whether it is because the internal drive is nearly full. I have tried restarting the computer, disconnecting and re-connecting the USB cable to the external drive, serching for it with the disk utility, un-pluggin the external drive power cable and re-connecting it, but I'm out of ideas. What might have happened?

MAC Mini does not restart after Yosemite update

I bought my MAC mini in 2011 and I successfully updated to Mavericks with no problems. I am not sure why my MAC Mini will not restart after I updated to Yosemite. The completion bar gets stuck around 30%.
Any help or ideas appreciated
Larry

Okay, this is strange. I tried restarting three times yesterday with the same results. In fact I left it go overnight only to find the next morning that the bar was still stuck at 30%. I did a hard boot a little bit ago and waited a few seconds. I restarted an it booted up fine.

My Mac Mini does not wake up from sleep. What to do?

After my brand new Mac Mini goes to sleep (by timer or manually), my Apple monitor usually (but not always) refuses to wake from sleep. Sometimes I can get the display to return, sometimes not, but in either case there is no subsequent response to my bluetooth mouse or keyboard, and my only choice is to shut down with the power button.
(I know there have been other question on similar issues, but most are old, and recent ones do not seem to have been answered. At this point, on Apple's advice, I am about to return the computer, but was wondering if anyone has solved a similar problem)
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Yes, you would be surprised as to what low voltage (brownouts) can do. The problem is, most people don't realise how dumb the power supplies in our computers are and how variable their electrical supply is.
To illustrate this, we used to have a light plugged into a power board which was powered by a 5 step line conditioner (basically a UPS without a battery) and you be amazed as to how low the voltage gets. When the nominal voltage was between 196 and 240V (the line did nothing at this point) the light was constant enough although once it went below 196V the line conditioner kicked in topping the voltage up to 240V all of a sudden the light output doubled. On a bad evening this would be flicking up and down all night. Can you imagine what this would be doing to a computer?
My recommendation for you and everyone else would be to buy a UPS regardless. For the small amount a UPS costs they're well worth the investment.
My current favourite are the APC Back-UPS RS series for important/sensitive equipment although these do cost a little more and the 1000/1500VA units are quite big (so check the dimensions carefully). I have a 1000VA unit for my desk, another for my plasma TV and home cinema equipment and an 800VA for my ADSL line and server. Additionally I use the APC Back-UPS ES 500VA units (they have a much more convenient standard power plug for appliances rather than a D type plug) for less important/sensitive equipment like the fax machine, laser printer etc.
