My Dad just sent me his old iMac G5 17". and I was wondering if the Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse will work with it!? I don't really have a place to put the computer.. so I was hoping to get the wireless mouse and keyboard so I don't have to be connected to the computer.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8), iMac G5 17"
I have the most recent (2 AA batteries, not 3) wireless keyboard and magic mouse running on a PowerMac G5. Your iMac G5 has the same class of processor, which isn't Intel. My Mac has built-in bluetooth support, which is what these products use. I'm unsure if your iMac has bluetooth built-in or not, but if it doesn't, you can purchase the Belkin bluetooth USB dongle. That has been widely reported to work just fine within OSX.
Anyway, yes, your iMac G5 can run the wireless keyboard and mouse. You just might have to work a little for it.
Good luck!
The wireless keyboard and mouse (if they are the latest models), will only work with intel machines.
Does anyone know what kind of keyboard and mouse would work with this Mac?
Any wired keyboard and any wired mouse.
I meant Wireless. so no wireless keyboard or mouse will work?
If you can find ones that are not Apple's but say they work with Macs, they might work.
Will the Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse work with my iMac G5?
