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

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

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.
