Your mouse needs to be on. Look underneath your mouse and you'll see that.

ah, i'm not using an apple mouse. so I guess this one just isn't compatible? – jordanstephens Dec 27 '10 at 17:23
I'm sure you can. There's no way to skip that screen/setup? Might just be a friendly reminder that the mac-mini can't detect the stock mouse? – ngen Dec 27 '10 at 17:26

It's looking specifically for a Bluetooth wireless mouse because your one isn't detected. Try with a USB mouse for initial setup and then switch to your own wireless mouse afterwards. – Randolph West Dec 27 '10 at 17:26

i just want to say, how am i supposed to be able to tell that that image is of the bottom of a mouse? – jordanstephens Dec 27 '10 at 17:34
It's white and shaped like a mouse with an optical/laser thingy ;) Only reason I know this is because my work uses this as their public computers and I had a hard time using the mouse. – ngen Dec 27 '10 at 17:36
