Can not switch to OSX Recovery Mode: looking for the keyboard and magic mouse

I'm trying to reset my end 2012 Mac Mini 2.3GHz/i7/16GB to factory settings to try to get the machine a new lease on life.

However, when I try to enter in Recovery Mode (in now command ⌘ + R when the system starts up), the machine will stop to a screen showing the instructions to turn on a magical keyboard and Magic Mouse.

I have a trendy apple (USB) keyboard and a USB mouse is connected.

How can I activate these entries, or how can I pass this screen looking for a keyboard/Magic Magic Mouse?

[I guess one option is to use a magic mouse or a magical keyboard - I have in my office - but it is not sensible that you need them to access recovery mode].

Thank you

Got my Magic Mouse of the office, got into recovery mode. Surprised, you need a Magic Mouse, and who does not have a USB mouse to the recovery mode!

  • Internet does not work on Windows 7, no drivers for the Wifi and LAN

    Original title: Windows 7

    I used to have Windows 8 on my laptop. Well, so I've updated for Windows 10. Config my laptop wasn't as good, so it's slow. Recently, I installed Windows 7 (as it is known for the performance) somehow, the internet does not work. Missing the drivers for the wifi and lan. What should I do?

    Well, as my readers usb and touch screen no longer work.

    You have installed Windows 7 on a machine that is preinstalled with Windows 8, without checking first if the computer manufacturer supported and provided Windows 7 drivers for it.

    If does not support or provide Windows 7 drivers for this, you should never have installed Windows 7 on this computer Windows 8 and we cannot help you.

  • I can not install Lightroom 6 after a problem with the pc and upgrade to Windows 10. "Errors occurred on your installation.

    Hello

    I am a user of Lightroom 4 since it came out and it worked fine.

    My system is based on a motherboard Asus Maximus III, the Intel Core i7 875K 2.93 GHz processor, card EVGA Geforce GTX 960 Graphics, Corsair Vengeance 8 GB of RAM.

    I used to have Windows 7 Home Eng 64 bit on it.

    After installing Lightroom 6 everything is fine again, but then the evil came:

    There was a problem with the pc, so I had to use the restore before installing Lightroom 6 point, bringing back me to Lightroom 4

    The problem is that somehow my internetbrowsers stopped working one by one. A virus? Norton was running, so it shouldn't.

    The restoration of an early version did not help the problem

    I needed the PC for work so I installed the free update for Windows 10

    Now, I can not install my Lightroom 6 more: it keeps giving me the following box:

  • Just bought an iPhone 6s... Have several questions: namely, I can not hear my iTunes library. Also, for the control of my songs, a song that lasts 3 minutes used 7.9 MB... ??? Is this normal? 98 songs use 1 Gig. ?? Is it possible that I have synced songs

    just bought an iPhone 6 sec. after update to version 9.2 on iPhone and gateway desktop that holds library itune, I can't access my itunes on the iPhone! I see all the songs of 98 on phone but can not play, nor hear anything. Also, a little led Zeppelin song appears as the use of 7.9 mb... 98 songs use 1 gig...  Is this normal?  Help! Thank you.

    Yes, it's normal. A lead of 3 minutes is about 10 MB. It varies according to the type of music, but it's a good rule of thumb.

    Hi, whenever I try to play video on www.cbc.ca the Player opens but the video does not start.  bottom left, there is a java script error which reads:

    Line 2

    char 5773

    error: access denied

    If anyone knows how I can fix this I would be very happy.  Thank you

    Hi, thanks.  I use internet explore.   I downloaded firefox to see if another browser might change things, but he did not.  until I received this answer, I found a site that has detected that I had an old version of java that can interfere with the new version then I uninstalled the old version and restarted my browser and now the video on the site seems to work!  If he gives me again, I'll try your suggestions. It's probably a good idea to optimize internet Explorer anyway.

    Thank you

    Hello

    HARD drive recovery can not be downloaded.
    You can not download the recovery disc as well.

    Generally, recovery disc HARD must be available on your laptop and you should be able to start this pressing F8 at the beginning of the initialization.
    Simply said: turn on the device, press F8 immediately after the laptop was turned on maybe you will have to press F8 several times in the line
    Then choose fix my computer and then you should see the drive HARD recovery option.

    If this is not available (no matter why), then you must create a recovery disc using called Recovery disk Creator tool that must be preinstalled on the laptop.

    If you are not able to create the recovery disk then you can order it from here:

  • MacBook pro 2015 stuck in Bluetooth Setup mode after commissioning, recognizes on the keyboard and track pad. SMC reset does not work.

    My Macbook Pro 2015 stopped periodically (and now permanently discontinued) responding on keyboard and touch pad Board. This seemed to start at the same time, I got a Bluetooth headset; When I turn on the computer, he's stuck in Bluetooth Setup mode. I tried to reset the SMC, and it does not work. I don't have a Bluetooth keyboard to even try with it. Also, I can't start in safe mode. It seems completely blocked. Any help you might be able to offer would be great!

    Hello rad trp,.

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    From your post, I understand that your keyboard and trackpad on your MacBook Pro are unresponsive and now you see the Bluetooth set up screen on the computer. I also see that you tried to reset the SMC, but that doesn't seem to work because the built-in keyboard do not respond.

    I know that you do not have a bluetooth keyboard, you can connect, but you have a USB keyboard? Even a USB keyboard for a computer Windows will work. If you do, I would say connection that the keyboard and you use these keys to perform an SMC reset, but reset the PRAM as well. Instructions on both of these resets can be found in the links below if you need.

    If you have not installed anything, but then it's quite simple. Use the option of reset HP Recovery Managerfactory. That will return that your laptop is purchased condition.

    You can access the recovery at Startup Manager by pressing the F11 key immediately after pressing the power button on your laptop.

    Once you have recovered your laptop be sure to make a password reset disk or flash thumbdrive in Windows and put it somewhere safe.

    Here is a link to 11 other ways to reset the Windows password.
