Sound and brightness buttons dont work anymore

my sound and brightness buttons dont work any more unless I hold down the function button. This happened after I downloaded the new update I think. Is there any key combination that I could have hit that made this happen?

Go to System Preferences->KeyBoard & Mouse->KeyBoard and make sure "Use the F1-F12 keys to control software featues" is off. It probably got turned on somehow by the update.

Help, sound and brightness keys stopped working

Friends,
after an requested software update (Quicktime, Security..) all the sudden the monitor control keys (brighter/darker) and also the sound keys (louder/quieter) don't work anymore. Any hints how to get them back to work?
Thanks, Alexander

Which update did you do? Earlier this year, a new update from Apple required a delay before some buttons responded. For instance, before, you could press the brightness keys and it would respond instantly. After the update, you had to literally hold it down for a second or two before it responded. It was a way to prevent accidental inputs.
This may not be your problem, especially if you can't do anything at all. But that was something I encountered. Freaked me out. But holding it down made it work. I don't remember the exact issue and posting at this moment.
I do know the number one issue was the eject key. Again, before, if you pressed the eject key, your media would come out right away. After the specific update, you had to hold it down before you could eject anything. (Hold down the button before it would register).

Keypad and contacts button dont work on 5800

i have just noticed that the keypad and contacts button on my main screen (nokia 5800) dont work now when i press them. This means that although i can still get to my contacts via the menu i cant type in a random phone number anymore....please help

problem solved with hard reset, make sure you make a backup of your phone using nokia PC suite, then turn of your phone, then keep the green phone button , the red phone button and the camera button pressed in while turning your phone back on, keep the 3 buttons pressed in until you see the shaking hands, then give country date , time etc, them your phone is going to configure the memory card, after that restore your backup with your pc
I hope this is helping you out

TS3694 No sound and ringer button not working. I cannot play music but when I put my Iphone 4 on the dock it plays music. This happens when I updated my phone to IOS 6.1.3..The phone doesnt have any carriers we only used this just like Itouch. Please help

Please help. Since I updated my Iphone4 to ISO 6.1.3...The ringer button not working, can't play any music (but ok with the dock), headphone sound is muffled. What can I do? I tried restoring and downgrading but it won't let me.

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out to the community.
Please help. Since I updated my Iphone4 to ISO 6.1.3...The ringer button not working, can't play any music (but ok with the dock), headphone sound is muffled. What can I do? I tried restoring and downgrading but it won't let me.
It appears like you may have a hardware issue with your ringer button and internal speaker that came to light after the update. If you have already restored your iPhone back to factory settings using iTunes, you may need to have your phone serviced.
Some potential good news... Check your headphone jack for lint. There may be enough to cause a muffled connection. You can try to blow it out with compressed air or very carefully pulling out any solid objects that may affect the connection.
Best of luck!

"Save for Web and Devices" button not working anymore

I can't use the Save for Web and Devices button anymore. Is there a reason for that, I didn't pay 500$ for a software that won't work.

Hi Mylenium,
I use Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
As for what I did for it not to work anymore, I did nothing at all. This happen in two steps from what I remember, first the button was working but it was not opening the usual window with 4 different file types you can save the image as, it was giving me an error window that said something in the lines of "Could not initialize". Afterwards, the "Save for Web and Devices" link just became greyed out, and was just un-usable. It's not making sence that I did nothing and the software just does not work properly, I'm wondering if any of the other software in the suit that I purchased do the same thing, and is there a way to fix this.

Hello Voltiur,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with the Power light flashing and the printer being none responsive when attempting to scan or copy.
Here is a document that explains Blinking Lights on the HP Deskjet F4100 All-in-One Printer Series.

Sound and brightness buttons don't work, any suggestions?

Hi guys,
I just bought a MacBook Pro, and I can't control the volume and the bightness by the keyboard button. Do to so, I have ti to it by the icones in the top bar.
How can I set these hotkeys on my keyboard? Any suggestions?
Thank you and happy new year.

I've had this same problem, but when I am using "Parallels" to run windows programs on my new Macbook Air, with an external Mac LED Cinema Display, the brightness keys on the external apple keyboard do not work. Sound seems to work fine. They work fine in Mac mode.
Any solutions?

On my iphone 4 I can only hear ringer, all other sound is off and volume buttons dont work. Can anyone help?

I have no sound or vlume control. only can hear phone ring. Please help !!!!!

If the volume buttons don't work then you can go into settings, general, scroll all the way down to accessibility, click it, turn on assistive touch, go back and a little gray square with a white circle should appear. Click that and then click devices and there should be a volume control there.
Hope this helps!

Browser back and forward buttons dont work, no bookmarks, and can't sign into websites.

When I open firefox in Linux, it looks strange. The back, forward, and all those buttons are grey so I cannot click them. None of my bookmarks appear. And when I go to a website like Gmail to sign in, I can fill in my information, but I cannot click the sign in button. I tried erasing the .parentlock file and restarting everything. I also tried clearing the cache. I also moved the sessionstore.js file out of the folder. It seems like it was last modified the last time Firefox ran normally.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Not sure

Hello Ben.
First of all, and although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment as been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com].
As for your issue, you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

My power button, volume down and up button dont work, and the phone itself is bent. What should I do?

Ive had my iPhone in a case since I've had the phone, I'm really dissapointed in whats happening to it.
Even with the case on, I very rarely drop it. Any suggestions or options on how to solve?

With so many serious issues, make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for evaluation. Maybe the Genius will handle all this under Warranty. If not covered due to being bent, but you have AppleCare + plus, it will only be $50 for a perfect replacement iPhone 5 exactly like yours. If no coverage, it will be $229.
