Getting to Know Your Mac mini

To check for updated software:

1

Choose Apple () > Software Update. The Software Update window opens. If there are

any updates available, they appear in a list.

2

Click the checkbox to select the items you want to install, then click Install. Type an

administrator name and password (the name and password you used when you first

set up your computer).

When the updates complete, Software Update checks for updates again. It does this

because some updates require that you have installed previous updates. For more

information, search for “Software Update” in Mac OS Help (see page 29).

Connecting a Camera or Other FireWire Device

If you have an iPod, iSight camera, FireWire digital video camera, or other device that

has a FireWire connector, you can connect it to your Mac mini. Follow the installation

instructions that came with your device. For more information about FireWire, see

“FireWire” on page 35.

Connecting to a Network

If you want to connect your Mac mini to an Ethernet network, cable or DSL modem, or

a wireless network, see “Ethernet (10/100Base-T)” on page 43 and “AirPort Extreme

Wireless Internet and Networking” on page 37 for more information about setting up

an Ethernet or AirPort connection. Also open Mac OS Help (see page 30) and search for

“Ethernet” or “AirPort” for further help.
