Chapter 1

Ready, Set Up, Go

If you use a USB keyboard that is not specifically designed for the Mac OS, it may not
have a Command (x

) or Option key, both of which are standard on Apple keyboards.

The Command (x

) key on an Apple keyboard is equivalent to the Windows key (the

icon on the key looks like a Windows logo) on a keyboard from another manufacturer.
The Option key on an Apple keyboard is equivalent to the Alt key on a keyboard from
another manufacturer.

You can use Keyboard & Mouse preferences to change the keyboard equivalents.
To open Keyboard & Mouse preferences, choose Apple (

) > System Preferences,

click Keyboard & Mouse, click Modifier Keys, and follow the onscreen instructions.

Using a USB mouse or keyboard from another manufacturer may require software
drivers. Check the manufacturer’s website for the latest software drivers.

Using a Wireless Keyboard or Mouse

If you purchased an Apple Wireless Keyboard or a wireless Mighty Mouse with your
Mac mini, follow the instructions that came with the keyboard and mouse to set them
up with your Mac mini.
