To use the numeric keypad, press the Num Lock key. An indicator light on the Num Lock key glows when the keypad is active. When you finish using the keypad, press the Num Lock key again to turn it off.

Important: If your keyboard doesn’t seem to be working correctly, check the Num Lock key. When the numeric keypad is active, other keys and keyboard equivalents for menu commands (such as x-Q to quit) are deactivated.

You can use your keyboard as well as your Apple Remote to control the Front Row application. See “Using the Keyboard to Control Front Row” on page 39.

If you like to use keyboard shortcuts to work efficiently, open Mac Help and search for “keyboard shortcuts.”You’ll find an extensive list of keyboard shortcuts for many common procedures and applications.

Using a Mouse

If you have an Apple mouse with a USB connector, you can insert the USB connector into the USB 2.0 port and use your mouse right away. If you have an Apple wireless mouse, see “Using Bluetooth Wireless Technology” on page 62 for information about connecting it. You can purchase a wireless or USB mouse from the online Apple Store at www.apple.com/store or from an Apple Authorized Reseller.
