Hi!
One problem i have with my old mid 2011 mac mini is that i can not send files
from my mac to my ipad mini.
Even though i have bluetooth on and wifi on on both devices.
Its also said in the apple knowledge base that it should work on a mac mini mid
2011.
Its good to be able to do this as i download a lot of daisybooks to my mac and
want to transfer them wirelessly to my ipad and read them with voice dream.
