How to Set Up Bluetooth on a Mac Mini
- 1). Ensure that you have Bluetooth support on your Mac Mini. Click the Apple logo in the top left hand corner of your screen. Click "System Preferences," and then "Bluetooth" on the Internet & Wireless row. If you have Bluetooth, you will be able to edit settings there.
- 2). Click on Bluetooth, and the Bluetooth setup window will appear. Go to your device and make sure it is "Discoverable." (To do this, consult the device's instruction manual as steps will vary based on device). Now, back on the computer, click "Set Up New Device." The Setup Assistant will appear.
- 3). Allow the computer to begin searching for the Bluetooth device. This may take up to one minute. When you see your device in the list, click it and click "Continue" near the bottom right hand corner of the window. Your Mac Mini will attempt to pair.
- 4). Copy down the PIN that appears in the Setup window. Your device will likely load to a form that allows you to enter this PIN into the device. Follow the on-screen instructions on the device to enter this number.
- 5). Allow the pairing process to complete. When it does, your Mac Mini will alert you. This screen will also tell you what services are available through the paired device. You may want to make a note of them.
