Will my old wireless keyboard and mighty mouse from 2006 and 2007 work with the new Mac Mini?

Thank You!

  • 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 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.

  • Using a PowerPc G5 and Mac Mini with the same display, keyboard and mouse

    I have a G5 PowerPC and a new Mac Mini. I wanted a good KVM switch so that I can use the same display, keyboard and mouse with both machines. Any suggestions?

    IOGear, Trendware and Startech.
    I'd stick with IOGear.

  • Hi folks, I have my new mac mini connected to my telly (HDMI) and want to set it up. It didn't start the set up assistant

    Hi folks, I've got a new mac mini and want to start using it. I put it on my HDMI telly and connected it to magic trackpad and wireless keybord, both are working fine. I can see the mac dashboard but I cannot click anything! The pointer moves where I want it to but nothing reacts and the setup assistant didn't start either.
    Any idea what I can do?

  • 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 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.

  • Why won't my new mac mini pair with my bluetooth keyboard or mouse

    I bought a new mini in December. I've been fighting with getting it set up since. It refuses to see/pair with my bluetooth keyboard or mouse. How am I supposed to proceed with setup if I can't even get off the start-up screen???
    1.4GHz
    1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 2.7GHz) with 3MB on-chip shared L3 cache

    The Bluetooth devices were probably paired with another computer. You need to "unpair" these Bluetooth devices before pairing with another.

  • Does the Mac mini work with my current keyboard and mouse ?

    Does the mini work with my current mouse and keyboard? HDTV ?

    TV yes if it has a VGA, HDMI or DVI input
    Mouse and keyboard: I have no idea since you provided no information as to which ones you have.
    Any mouse and keyboard with USB connections will work included ones for a PC.

  • Wireless apple keyboard not pairing at set up of new mac mini

    i have just purchased a new mac mini and wireless keyboard and trackpad. i am trying to setup my mac mini but the keyboard does not pair. i have tried replacing the batteries. but as i am new to macs i dont have much of a clue. the trackpad connects fine.

    I had this same issue when I purchased my Mini. Unfortunately, the initial setup of your wireless keyboard requires a wired keyboard. I don't recall where I found this information, but it may have been in the manual for the Mac wireless keyboard. I purchased a Mac wired keyboard from Fry's Electronics to log in and sync the wireless keyboard and returned the wired keyboard later that day.

  • I can´t get @ to work at my new Mac mini

    Hi
    I just bought and installed everything on my new Mac Mini 2012 from my old iMac and I chose Swedish as my language.
    My OS is Mavericks
    I also connected my apple keyboard and everything works OK.
    Except that when I try to write a e-mail.
    I can´t write @ instead a get "TM" from holding down the alt-key and the other key (nr 2 key)
    The keyboard works perfect with my old iMac.
    Does anybody have a clue what I should do to get @ to work.
    Maybe a Swede will know what happened ?
    Any help would be much appreciated
    Cheers
    Hans
    Ps. This was not written from my Mac mini  :-)

    You need go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and use the plus and add buttons to activate the Swedish Pro keyboard and then select that one in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.  Apple keyboards are printed with the Swedish Pro layout  (and not the "Swedish" one).

  • I'm attempting to transfer files, address book, etc from an external hard drive to my new Mac-mini using migration assistant.  The external drive is showing up on my desktop but Migration Assistant is not seeing the drive when searching for devices

    I'm attempting to migrate files, address book, maile, etc to my new Mac Mini using an external hard drive and Migration assistant.  I followed the instructions on using Migration Assistant to do this but Migration Assistant is not seeing the external drive, which is displayed on my desktop

    I've been chasing this problem all afternoon. I had to reformat my internal drive on my MBP and reinstall Mountain Lion   Start up assistant wouldn't see my extrnal drive with the Time Machine files on it.  After many tries, I skipped the restore there and let the system boot.  I could see my external drive from Finder and the files looked OK.  I was told to use Migration Assistant and it had the same problem.
    I saw a hint on one of these posts that the icon that you see and is label Macintosh HD is actually your backup disk and it is telling you that it has a copy of your internal Macintosh HD.  I went ahead and told it to continue and it started to restore my apps, settings, and documents.  It's been going for a couple of hours, and is close to being done.  I expect to see my old system restored when it is finished.
    Wish that Apple would put some type of note that it is seeing the backup. That is most confusing and seems to be a problem for lots of users.
    It's been a month or so since your post  Did your get it to work?

  • No video on brand new mac mini

    I am trying to get a brand new mac mini going for the first time, and although it switches on, there is no video on the attached VGA display.
    I have connected the same display to my Ibook VGA adapter and it works perfectly, so it is not the display. I have also tried another display which also works on the I book. What else can I do other that take it into a mac store as I am a very long way from one?

    Here is an assortment of Apple technical articles dealing with this sort of thing. Good luck.

  • Clicking noise on new Mac Mini

    I got a new Mac Mini last month and noticed it makes a clicking noise quite frequently. It just started to really bug me, so I looked into it and found this site:
    http://mymacfixes.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-do-i-stop-clicking-noise-from-hard.ht ml
    which says:
    On Macs, this is often found in replacement drives for the MacBook and the Mac Mini. Apple modifies the firmware of drives it supplies to avoid this problem, but no one does that for the speedier, larger replacements. Upgraders get more -- or less -- than they bargained for.
    How can you tell for sure if your drive is affected? Download a shareware program like smartctl orVolitans Software's Smart Utility and look for the load cycle count. Hard drives are rated for only a few hundred thousand of those. If your drive has gone through thousands or hundreds of thousands in a short time, you're in trouble.
    So, I downloaded Volitans Software Smart Utility and see that within the past 10 minutes the Load Cycle Count has a Raw Value that seems pretty high. 15 minutes ago it was 32257 and now it isof 32286... which sounds like about the correct number of clicks that I have heard coming out of this stupid thing.
    I noticed above it says "On Macs, this is often found in replacement drives for the MacBook and the Mac Mini" ... hmm, replacement drives? Interesting! I flipped the Mac Mini over to install new RAM after 2 weeks and that is when I noticed 2 big scuffs on the bottom of it. How did they get there? I couldn't believe I had been that rough with it since I was being VERY careful with it. That seemed very strange to me, but now  I think it makes sense. I think they gave me a machine with a replacement drive that was poorly upgraded (and scuffed up in the process).
    If I take it in to the Apple Store, will they deny there's a problem (o me it seems pretty obvious there is one)?
    Or will they do the right thing and transfer my info to a new machine?

    PS - before you reply suggesting I take it back to be on the safe side (which makes sense) can any of you with a relatively new Mac Mini download the trial software above and let me know what your Load Cycle Count is? You just have click the "show all" button under attributes and then find the Raw Value in the right column.
    If you can't do that, then could you please make it very quiet in your place and listen for clicking. If your machine clicks a few times every 15-30 seconds or so then either your Mac Mini is screwed up, too, or it's just what Mac Minis do.
    Thanks.
