It can be quite a frustrating ordeal to buy your new mac mini with wireless keyboard only to find out that it cannot communicate with the keyboard. I spent the first 10 minutes trying to figure out how to connect my new mac mini to my wireless keyboard.
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. Slim wireless keyboard and mini optical mouse set with USB receiver. It is an ideal input device for your PC, laptop and notebook. It adopts 2.4GHz wireless transfer technology for strong and secured wireless.
Fortunately a comment in MacRumors pointed me to the right direction and in the process saving me from venting my Anger to Apple ‘Genius' with the fact that my $89 keyboard is pretty useless!
