The volume up and down controls on my wireless keyboard show a no entry sign and do not respond when used...please help?

If you want to get a little more "exotic" you can try remapping the function keys. I did a little google searching and the hits that looked promising are,

Just purchased a new mac mini 3GHz Intel Core i7, with 16GB ram version 10.10.1. With it i purchased a new wireless keyboard. All of a sudden I was not able to use the #1 key. I thought I had a defected newly purchased keyboard. I pulled out my older wireless keyboard, and the same thing happened. It must not be the keyboard if it happened to two different keyboards. I have a habit of restarting my computer, when things don't work, I find it helps, and sure enough, everything works. Today, it happened again. Does anyone know what is causing this to happen?

Can you access other apps? Can you acess the internet? Can you access applications that use internet besides facebook?

Heavy lag and "not responding" when using Preview for PDFs

Hi there,
I have a problem with my MacBook Pro (9,1 15" Late 2012) running Mavericks 10.9.1.
Sometimes (quite often in the last weeks) Mavericks getting furious when I try to preview PDFs. This happens:
- I get an PDF. It came from my eXactScan add, from an email adress or I downloaded it - the source doesn't matter.
- I open the finder and want to preview the PDF with the built in preview and I get the spinning circle / load indicator. The circle runns for a long time.
- I can use Mavericks without any problems but the Finder only shows a small thumbnail of the file I wanted to preview.
- Now it's getting dirty: when I double click the PDF to view it with the Preview app the whole system "crashes":
the Preview app won't open (but it is shown in the dock),
my open Mail and Chrome wont react any more or start to lagg very heavy,
the Finder laggs very heavy
but the OS (menubar, dock, etc) responds without any problems.
If I open the "Close Apps" window the apps mentioned above are marked with "not responding".
I waited for some time but nothing gets better.
The only way to get rid of the problem is to restart the Mac which works without any problems.
That's it.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

Please reply as soon as you can.

You can run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode. It may point out a hardware failure but to be honest I think you need to take the machine in for some professional diagnostics. It's possible the graphics card is failing.

When I make an outgoing call the recipient cannot hear me very well as though the volume was turned down very low. However when I activate the speakerphone the recipient can hear me loud and clear. I transferred my SIM Card into a new device only to be subjected to the exact same problem. I have reset the phone clearing all the data and updated to the most recent software version available from itunes; and still no improvements. The results of my switching to a new phone would indicate a software issue.
Does anyone out there have this problem and how can it be fixed?
Thanks,

Try removing the screen protector that is covering the microphone.
Scratch that; wrong answer. I thought you meant you had trouble hearing.

So in the last few days I’ve noticed that pressing my volume change keys actually isn’t changing the volume on my macbook pro at all. When I press the volume up or down keys, it makes the recognisable pop sound but stays at the same volume while the squares go up or down. I mute it but my computer still makes sound. It’s the same with the volume control up the top of the screen, too. I slide it up and down and it doesn’t change the volume at all. The only way I can change the volume is with my speakers or the program I’m in (iTunes, VLC etc). I restarted and it seems to be okay then I go to change it a couple minutes later and it’s back to not working again.
I’ve checked my settings- the “use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard fuction keys” is not switched on, and I have tried a suggestion of moving the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file out of the library and onto the desktop and restarting and neither of those seem to make any difference whatsoever. I’ve tried to find online forums but the only suggestions I found were those two and they didn’t work.
I’m just annoyed because I usually have the worst luck with technology but my macbook had been going strong and I got it because of the apparent lack of things that could go wrong, but of course even if there is one thing that could go wrong it will happen to me.
Please help!

I can't turn the volume up or down on my MacBook Pro?

I can't turn the volume up or down on my MacBook Pro? It shows a kind of "stop" sign? I can get the speakers to work by connecting my headphones to the computer and choosing the sound to be on the speakers, but as soon as I take the headphones out, I can't get any sound out of the speakers..
Sometimes there is a "Red" light coming out of the AUX-port?

Hey vgamborg,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
This article should help you troubleshoot issues playing sound from the built-in speakers. Try the steps listed, and I quoted a part about the red light.
Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1574
Check to see if a red light is lit in the line-out port. If so, your Apple computer may need service.
Have a nice day,

When I pan left, the volume is turned down instead of being panned left???

When I pan left, the volume is turned down instead of being panned left???
The instrument strip and output 1-2 are both in stereo in my environment. I don't get it-any ideas anyone?
I'm using logic 7.2.3
Thanx in advance
!

Thanks for your response.
hrmmm..... I don't see any "Pan Law". I'm running Logic 7.2.3 btw.
I think it might be my audio drivers.
"I have a FW 410 interface, everything seems to work fine except for the panning. Instead of panning properly, the volume is turned down when I pan left and volume is raised when I pan right. This only happens when I have the FW 410 interface selected in the audio/hardware setup. Panning under the built-in audio works fine so I would imagine it's the M-Audio drivers for the FW 410 that need a working update for Leopard."
Can anyone confirm this?
Thanx again in advance,
Paul

When I make an outgoing call the recipient cannot hear as though the volume were turned down Lowe. However when I use my speaker phone function the recipient can hear at normal volume. Is there a fix for this issue? Thanks Teresa

Hey Tlabounty,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with the microphone on your iPhone 5. To troubleshoot this issue, you may find the information in this article helpful:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5183
Note that speakerphone and regular calls utilize seperate microphones on the device. It sounds like you have isolated the issue. Furthermore, if you determine that the issue is hardware related, the following resource may help you get started with the service process:
