Other Problems

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
