Playing a CD and Connecting Headphones

If you’d like to listen to music with your Mac mini, insert a music CD in your optical

drive. iTunes, an easy-to-use music player, opens automatically. You can connect

headphones with a mini-jack to the headphone port of your Mac mini to listen

privately.

You can also connect powered speakers to the headphone port to listen to music. If

you have an AirPort Extreme Card installed and an AirPort Express, you can wirelessly

stream music from your Mac mini to your home stereo system.

To learn more about iTunes:

m

Open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes and Music Store Help.

To learn more about your optical drive, see “Using Your Optical Drive” on page 45.

Keeping Your Software Up to Date

You can connect to the Internet and automatically download and install the latest free

software versions, drivers, and other enhancements from Apple.

When you are connected to the Internet, Software Update checks Apple’s servers to see

if any updates are available for your computer. You can set your Mac mini to check the

Apple server periodically and download and install updated software.
