That image means that the Mac Mini is looking for a mouse. You may also get one for a keyboard as well.


If you have the Magic keyboard and mouse connect them to the Mac Mini using the supplied cable.


If you have the older battery powered keyboard and mouse? Then you will need to dig out, borrow or buy a USB keyboard and mouse to get setup and then connect those to the Mac Mini.
