Hi there.

As you may be aware I just got a Mac Mini.
I have 10.4.10 installed and just bought the wireless keyboard and might mouse.

Problem is they're not being picked up by the Mini.

I found a help file:


Apple Wireless Mouse and Keyboard: Update firmware before upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4

Before upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger," make sure that you update the firmware for your Apple Wireless Mouse and Keyboard first. The firmware updater for the Apple Wireless Mouse and Keyboard will not open in Mac OS X 10.4.
If you didn't do this before upgrading to Tiger, you can work around this issue by temporarily pairing the mouse and keyboard with a Bluetooth-enabled computer that's still using Mac OS X 10.3, and apply the firmware update from that computer.
About the update
The Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Firmware Updates improve Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse performance and reliability.
This document will be updated as more information becomes available.

I don't have another mac to pair it with so does anyone have any idea how to get my keyboard and mouse to work?

TIA

My mighty mouse paired with it straight away, and I bought the mouse when I bought my Macbook, so only a week or two before I sold the Mini to you, seems very strange :/

Are you still on the OSX install that I did? It couldn't still be 'looking' for my mouse could it?
 
It is strange.
I reinstalled OSX a few days ago so it shouldn't be that.
I'll see if I can get a hold of a machine with Panther as a temporary measure if nothing else shows up.

Everything else is sweet via VNC btw :D
 
Take the batteries out and let them sit for a little while. Run the bluetooth connection wizard and plug the batteries in and turn them on while it's still searching.

Hopefully that should do the trick.
