My 2018 mini Mac has just had a major repair under warranty but got it home and nothing seems to connect. Monitor mouse and keyboard. I am using a wired keyboard and mouse temporarily? How can I get it started?

Troubleshooting Connectivity:

Having just got this service, try the following...


A. Syncing Button:

Hold down the button on the bottom of your mouse to begin the syncing process.


B. Enable Bluetooth:

Be certain that Bluetooth is enabled on your Mac.


C. Restart your Mac:

See what happens when you restart your Mac.


D. Reset your SMC and your NVRAM:

Sometimes changes are made to the system and then settings (i.e. for Wi-Fi) become corrupted, in the meanwhile. So, reset both on your Mac. See where it goes from there. It’s worth a go.


E. Try Safe Mode:

In Safe Mode, login items do not run, and corrupt system files(i.e. caches) are intentionally reset as a way to fix issues

  1. Boot: in to Safe Mode: [Hold Down: shift key upon boot].
  2. Log in: as same user
  3. Wait: 30 seconds
  4. Restart; your Mac
  5. Log in: as same user
