  • If you have a new Mac or a new Magic Mouse, you’ll need to connect Magic Mouse to Mac before using it.
    This is the example same process for any Mac, from iMac, MacBook, or Mac mini and MacBook Air.
    First, make sure your mouse is charged. Then slide over the button on the back of the mouse.
    Now, jump into your Mac and make sure Bluetooth is turned on. Magic Mouse works via Bluetooth with your Mac.
    It should recognize your mouse. Click connect and you should be able to get started using your new mouse.

    I don't understand how to connect the mouse when I don't have a mouse connected - you're connecting a mouse that's already connected! I don't have a lighting cable that is compatible

  • @Anonymous-it5jw
    @Anonymous-it5jw 2 роки тому +3

    When you forget to charge it, you're screwed. Try using a dead mouse with a charging cable stuck into the charging port in the bottom of the mouse - Good Luck with that. Having had my magic mouse die on several, inconvenient occasions, I keep an old backup Apple mouse around that uses regular batteries. It connects immediately when you cut it on.

    I have 1000 pictures but the photos app takes up 10 gb whereas I have family members with over 1500 pictures that up less than 2 gb. My question is what should I do to bring the gb amount way down besides deleting stuff which I’ve already done. Most of my photos have been taken as “Live Photos” unintentionally, i’m thinking that could be the problem? If so what should I do?

    The video skips over one absolutely critical part - how to hook the cable to the computer itself. Older models (mine is circa 2015) have ports that are incompatible with the cable it comes with.

    My God I hate Apple. I bought an expensive Track Pad and my brand new Mac Studio just forgets it after already being connected. Then when I try to reaquire it it says "This Mac can no longer connect to XYZ Magic Trackpad". Why tf do I have to even go to a freaking YT video for literally everything associated with Apple products. An example of this is I could not view my hard drive just this morning. I had to activate special settings a mile deep just to look at my freaking hard drive and copy files. Things that Windows does with a single right mouse click. I hate hate hate Apple.
