Troubleshooting

 Classic (or Mac OS 9) applications are not compatible with your computer and do

not open.

If you have a problem with an application

For problems with software from a manufacturer other than Apple, contact the

manufacturer. Software manufacturers often provide updates to their software on their

websites.

You can set your Mac mini to check for and install the latest Apple software

automatically using the Software Update pane of System Preferences. For more

information, choose Help > Mac Help and search for “software update.”

If you have trouble using AirPort wireless communication
 Make sure you have properly configured the software according to the instructions

that came with your AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station.

 Make sure your computer or the network you are trying to connect to is running and

has a wireless access point.

 Make sure you are within antenna range of the other computer or the network’s

access point. Nearby electronic devices or metal structures can interfere with wireless

communication and reduce this range. Repositioning or rotating your computer may

improve reception.

 Check the AirPort signal level. There are up to four bars in the AirPort status icon in

the menu bar.

 Make sure nothing is placed on top of your computer. Objects on top of your

computer may interfere with the AirPort signal.
