Set-up Mac Mini without a keyboard

I'm about to buy a Mac Mini which I'll use purely as a media server to play iTunes, movies & catch-up TV. So I don't have much use for a keyboard & therefore I don't intend buying one. However I will install Logitech Touch Mouse app which will allow me to communicate with the Mini via my iPad.
But the problem is, how to set-up the Mini & install the Logitech app without a keyboard? I'll be connecting the Mini to my TV via HDMI so I have a display & in addition to the iPad, I've got a Macbook Air running Yosemite. Can I use the Air keyboard? If so, how do I interface with the Mini?

All Macs have got the Target Disk mode. This mode allows you to connect both Macs and use one Mac's hard drive as an external hard drive for the other one.
However, this mode is activated on the Mac mini by holding down the T key while it is starting up, so this does not work. At this point, I seriously recommend you to get a wired keyboard (they are not very expensive) to set up the Mac mini (the only thing you need the keyboard for is to choose an username, a password and set up iCloud), because you need one.

    Is there any way to connect my Apple wireless/bluetooth trackpad and keyboard to my Mac Mini without using a wired or usb keyboard?

    Well, I read that already, but I am trying to start up my Mac mini(new purchase) and I cannot get to all the system preferences etc since I cannot get past the startup screens. The site also mentioned waiting to turn on the keyboard until a language was requested. Neither language screen worked. I feel as though I'm just about ready to throw in the towel.

  • New mac mini and wireless keyboard

    how do I set up a new mac mini and wireless keyboard at the same time?

    Since the Mac Mini does not come with a Monitor, Keyboard or Mouse those are needed when setting up a Mac Mini. I don't know what brand wireless KB you have or if that even matters.
    I have an Apple wireless keyboard (bluetooth), Apple magic trackpad (bluetooth), and Dell DVI monitor. When I initially booted my new Mac Mini, the screen showed it searching for bluetooth devices. It found the keyboard first and then a few seconds later, the mouse. So, I had all devices to finish setup of the Mini.

    If it's a new mini, should have Mtn Lion on it. In any case, restart into recovery mode, and follow the instructions.

  • I am set up mac mini and when I test the mail server by sending a mail from administrator to administrator I get the error message 'Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection    refused'. Can any one suggest a solution

    I set up mac mini and when I test the mail server by sending a mail from administrator to administrator I get the error message 'Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection    refused'. Can any one suggest a solution

    Thanks. Where could I possibly look for a firewall rule. I knowingly did not creat any. My system has internet coming to a Modem which then is connected to a wireless router. I have computers connecting to the router through cable as well as wireless. One of these computers has been our  mailserver using Mercury and Pegasus and that computer has a static IP address. The Mac Mini also has been assigned a different srtatic IP address. I have only set up user account, none of them an email account as I initially expect them to receive only internal mails. Is it necessary that I must set up an email id for each user while setting up the user account. My server id is server.local. So would the email id for local users be [email protected]?

    Connect the camera to the computer with a USB cable and use the camera as the card reader. Make sure the camera is in playback mode.

  • Setting up and using a Mac Mini WITHOUT a screen

    I use an IMAC, a macBook 15" and an old G4 Powerbook 15".
    I have no external screen available and would prefer to avoid the purchase of an external screen.
    I am considering to purchase a mac mini to operate my large Itunes library and store my movies. The mini would be installed close to the Stereo and TV, and would mainly be considered a multimedia storage and handling device rather than a computer.
    Is it possible to perform the initial set up without the use of an external screen? Or could I connect it to my portable to perform the setup, and later access the device remotely with the WiFi network.
    What would happen after I unbox the device, and start it? Would it automatically appear in my list of network devices, ready to be managed and customised via one of my 3 computers?
    Your advice would be appreciated.
    Patrick

    Yeah you're going to need to use a display for the initial setup since sharing is not setup by default so you need to get in there and set that up before you can access it remotely.
    Also, the mini was never designed to run "headless" as what you are trying to do is called so you may have to resort to strange hacks like this to keep it happy

  • Help with setting up mac mini w/keyboard,mouse and external hard drive

    OK, first, I filled my mac mini with photos and music, so I bought an exteranl hard drive and thought I copied over my library, but only half of it shows up. (Another questions)
    But, now that I have 3 things using the USB ports and only 2 USB ports available, how do I set this up. I tired a 4 port, but what ever I plug into the 4 port USB does not work.

    If I understand the problem, you have a 4 port USB hub that is not working.
    The obvious suspect is the hub. I trust it is a powered USB hub, i.e. one you have to plug it into an external power source. A hub that draws its power from the Mini is not a good idea, since that would be asking the Mini to provide power to the two built-in ports as well as four external ones.
    (I have a Keyspan usb 2 four port externally powered hub hooked up to my Mini. It works flawlessly.)
    Even if your hub is powered, it is still the first suspect.

  • New Mac mini & New Wireless Keyboard - can't complete setup

    I just picked up a new Mac mini, and a new Apple wireless keyboard. I'm setting up the mini for the first time and i can't complete the setup because the new wireless keyboard doesn't seem to be recognized during the initial mini setup process. Should it be?
    I can use the mouse to get me to the point where it requires me to setup an account, but without the keyboard I'm unable to do so.
    Is this normal? I don't have a USB keyboard or I would have just plugged it in and finished. I should be able to do this with the new wireless keyboard, right?

    I had the same problem with my wife's pre 2009 Intel Mini, had to use a USB KB to do a fresh install of SL, because the BT KB wasn't picked up.
    Then on my early 2009 Mini I updated it from L to SL and after SL SW update found several updates, including a bluetooth update. When it came to applying the BT update, it said turn off BT, then proceed. Next came the need for me to enter my password to proceed, but that wasn't possible as the BT KB no longer responded. Fortunately I have a USB KB handy which did the trick.
    So my conclusion is you need a USB KB as well as the BT KB, to manage a BT KB Mac. (With the above two examples I used a wired mouse)

  • Is there a way of installing 10.4.2 on a Mac mini without password?

    I am trying to help a friend who purchased a Mac mini from a relative a few years ago.
    The OS needs reinstalling (too many faults to mention). I have the original install disc 1 and 2, but every time i try installing, the administrator password is needed. Unfortunately the first owner did not keep a record of it (all alternatives given have failed).
    Is there a way of installing the OS without the administrator's password?
    As a final attempt, i am a bit worried to erase all volumes using disc utility, because this might turn the mini completely useless if the OS will not install afterwards.
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Um, I can't specifically answer that because I don't have a FV master password set and I am reluctant to set one just to see if I can unset it. I would think that if you do have one set it would only be requested if you were doing something related to FV. If you could provide cases where you are being asked for a password it might help us track down the reason. I am mostly asked for a password when I am adding software to the computer or doing some other administrative task. In that case it is asking for my admin password. The FV one I think is only as a backdoor to a FV account in case somebody has forgotten their password.

  • Initial setup using mac mini without monitor

    Hello,
    I want to start the install of my new purchased mac mini with snow leopard server without connecting (or need to buy) it to a monitor to see what is going on.
    I know that AFTER the initial start up/install, I would activate Screen Sharing in the Sharing preference pane from my other mac (macbook pro - Leopard).
    My question is, how can I install the server version and see what is going on without attaching a physical monitor to it the first time?
    Thanks
    Lawrence

    I was hooping I can just ssh to it or connect it to somehow via command line, start the basic install and set up the screen sharing. After this I can connect to the server via screen share...
    We don't have the monitors.

  • Bluetooth lags on new Mac Mini w/ Wireless keyboard and Magic Trackpad

    Hi everyone,
    I just bought a new mac mini (the basic model) and attached it via HDMI to a HD TV. I bought the mac wireless keyboard and magic trackpad to go with it. Everything works except that both the keyboard and mouse are consistently slow. Not quite to the point of un-useable, but very noticeable.
    I've read that it might be radio interference with the bluetooth signal. To test this, I put my Macbook Pro right next to the new mac mini (while it and the screen were on) and paired the keyboard and mouse to the macbook pro. Everything was super fast, no lag - so that leads me to think the problem is with the Mac Mini. I've tried playing with all the bluetooth options, to no avail.
    Anyone have any suggestions? I've also tried attaching a bluetooth magic mouse and had the same slowdown. Nothing seems to affect the lag, it's very consistent and probably around half a second between keystroke or mouse movement and it's reflection on the screen.
    Thanks,
    -Mike

    Hey All,
    I've got the same issue with my Mac Book Pro and a new Samsung LED 3D TV. Its connected through a DVI out from the mac to a gold HDMI adaptor, then to HDMI into the TV. I've used this set-up with my last HDTV which was a Sharp LCD, and there was no lag and no issues.
    I noticed that for me, the lag appeared on the TV, but not on the laptop, so I thought it might be the connection (If I went right to HDMI instead of an adaptor maybe it'd be better) but I don't think it is given that the last TV worked fine.
    I then went to my display settings in the control panel on my mac and changed the refresh rate from 24 Hertz to 60 Hertz (NTSC) on the TV and the issue has pretty much completely dissappeared. Not sure why that was the default, but I imagine certain video and other media will play even smoother as well!
    Woo hoo!
    Hope you all figure this out too!

  • I HAVE JUST BOUGHT A MAC MINI WITH BLUETOOTH KEYBOARD AND ON SCREEN ALL IM GETTING IS A PIC SHOWING TO SWITCH ON KEYBOARD AND ANOTHER THAT SHOWS A SWITCH ON COMPUTER. I CANT SEE A SWITCH ON THE MINI.

    Symptoms
    When using Setup Assistant to configure your Mac mini or iMac for the first time, the Bluetooth keyboard may have difficulty pairing.
    Resolution
    Use a wired keyboard to configure the Mac mini or iMac with the Setup Assistant. If a wired keyboard is not available, follow these steps:
    Press and hold the Power button until the computer turns off.
    Press the Power button to start the computer.
    When a language selection appears, press and hold the power key on the Bluetooth keyboard so that the green light is flashing (discoverable mode).
    Use the mouse to click the language you would like.
    A code should appear on the screen. Enter the code on the Bluetooth keyboard and press Return. Note: No visible feedback appears on the screen while you enter the code.
    The computer and the wireless keyboard should now be paired.
