Mac Mini doesn't recognize wireless keyboard

Have new Mac Mini. It has recognized bluetooth track pad but not the bluetooth keyboard that has functioned with Macbook Air previously.

Yes it is charged and I went ahead and changed out the current batteries to new ones.  When doing and going through the prompts it continues to not recognize the wireless keyboard via bluetooth.  The mac mini does recognize the wireless track pad.

    I have ALL the exact same symptoms as on my home computer.
    It sure sounds to me like something on the iPod is broken. If it's under warranty then I would send it back for repair. If not, check out some of the web repair services, such as iPodResQ etc.

  • Mac mini doesn't recognize the mouse

    Hi, my mac mini doesnt recognize the bluetooth mouse or trackpad. it does recognize the keyboard so i know the blue tooth is on

    Are the Mouse and TrackPad already Paired with a different Mac..?
    (If so, un-pair them from that Mac)
    Was a different Mouse or TrackPad previously paired with your Mac Mini..?
    (If so, remove them from your list of Paired devices)

  • New Mac Mini doesn't recognize airport card

    I have a new mac mini, leopard, 1.8G c2duo, and have finally resolved some display issues. Now it doesn't recognize my airport card. Ideas?

    If the airport card doesn't appear in the System Profiler (select 'About this Mac' in the Apple menu, then click the 'more info' button, then click 'Airport Card' down the left hand side) then the mini likely has a hardware problem and would be in need of repair/replacement. On the other hand, if the Airport Card shows up there, the system clearly can see the card, but it then means there is likely a problem with MacOS or a setting - in which case if you could describe the symptom (ie, where it is you are not seeing the card) then it may be possible to resolve.

  • Mac mini doesn't recognize the second monitor

    I have Mac mini mid 2011 with dual display setup - one HDMI, the Second one thunderbolt to DVI adapter.
    Majority of times it doesn't recognize the second monitor connected through thunderbolt. Sometimes it start suddenly after a while, I've read there are some issues with the 10.10.2 Yosemite...
    Any  suggestions how to sort it out please? Many thanks, this is really a pain in the *** for me, strugling for a half an hour with a monitor...

    Thanks lllaass I tried it but doesn't work. I tried with different cables, still doesn't work.
    The strange thing is that sometimes it suddenly starts and works smoothly... Really strange problem. I will try a new adapter Thunderbolt to HDMI....
    What is the worst, when both monitors work smoothly and I put the computer to sleep or i shut it down, when started all over the monitor is not recognized.
    Ehhh :-(

  • 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 )

    yeah, it works on my ipad with no problem.  I've re-booted too.  I'm thinking the only way is with a hard wired keyboard to get it booted.

  • Mac mini doesn't recognize RAM

    I recently upgraded my mac mini (1.83 Ghz proccessor) to 2 GB of ram (1 GB to each place).
    Unfortunately, it doesn't recognize the one of the two slots. The ram was purchased from a local iStore.

    Recheck the RAM spec's, Mac's are picky and many times that will happen with multiple speed or the incorrect RAM. Additionally if the RAM is the correct spec, then you may either one that is not fully seated in the slot or one module that is bad.

  • Mac-mini doesn't recognize Yamaha yht-397 Surround Sound?

    Just bought a Yamaha YHT-397 5.1 Surround Sound System. Connected it to my Mac-mini using HDMI cable. Video bypass works and I get the video from my Mac to my TV but mac does not recognize my surround sound system in the Sound System Preferences only recognizes Internal Speakers and my TV. Any ideas?

    Go to: Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup > Output, can you see and select it from there?
    If not, then perhaps a Toslink to Mini Toslink Optical Cable from the Mac Mini's Digital Output Port to 1 of the Yamaha's Digital Audio Inputs is the way to go?

  • Mac mini doesn't recognize my wifi network

    MY new Mac Mini won't show my wifi network on the list but recognises all of my neighbors' networks. The router is right next to it. Once it connected and worked normally but as soon as I switched off the computer and turned it back on the next day, it would recognize the network again. Help!

  • Mac Mini Doesn't Recognize DVD/CD media

    I've tried most of the suggestions given on the boards, including the SMU reset, but my Mac Mini still has problems with burned CD's and trying to burn DVD's. I've tried several different brands of DVD media and the DVD's just get kicked out. On the CD side, I load a burned disc from another machine it just shows up as a blank disc. I'm running Leopard 10.5.3 on this machine. Any ideas?

    The fact you're having problems with both DVDs and CDs is not a good sign, since it is more likely to mean a faulty drive than if one or other media were problematic, but the other worked OK.
    Do you get any error messages when you insert a blank DVD or burn a CD?
    One thing you might want to try is to use a lens cleaner on the drive since the slot loading drives are a little more prone to dirt and debris than tray loaders. Normally if a head is dirty you'd be able to work with one media but not the other, so the fact both are troublesome either means it's not a simple matter of a dirty head or that the drive is significantly contaminated.
    If the lens cleaner doesn't help, I think the symptoms suggest the drive itself has problems. In that instance, it may be a loose connector, or that it needs to be replaced. If the latter, I'd normally suggest an external drive for greater flexibility and better performance - typically at a not much different price than an internal drive, but obviously not then requriring any service time of cost.

  • Mac mini doesn't recognize TV

    I've hooked my new Mac mini up to my TV using an S Video adapter (the DVD player the mini will be replacing used S Video, so I assumed it would work fine). It's connected as auxiliary input, but when I switch the TV to auxiliary and boot up the mac mini, the no-signal message appears and remains onscreen. After waiting several minutes nothing happened, so I decided to use an analog video cable to hook it up to my Cable box's aux. input. When I switched that to aux. and booted, I had the same result as before. Any idea on how I can get it working?

    Yes, you are correct. The current generation mini does not support the Apple Mini DVI to Video Adapter. However, the new mini can output analog VGA video through its Mini DVI port. And even though the Mini DisplayPort output is strictly digital, Apple makes a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter that, incredibly, has a DAC (digital to analog converter) inside of it, so the mDP output can also support VGA. So conceivably two VGA monitors could be connected to a new mini. But S-Video, no.

  • Will i be able with Mac mini to connect a wireless keyboard and mouse (via USB) for first boot ?

    Please answer . I ask that because I saw on a video showing its first boot , saying" connect a Bluetooth keyboard" . So I am worried . It's about its latest version . Thanks!

    If your devices are using a USB dongle, the Mini will
    likely see a mouse or keyboard connected via this method as
    "wired" devices.  These dongles are configured this way
    so that the host computer need not know anything about
    the wireless connection.

  • 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.
