Apple TV messed up Macbook Pro, Keyboard volume controls won't work.

I can't get my Keyboard Volume controls to work on my macbook pro, Apple TV messed it up. This isn't an issue with disabling the remote control infrared receiver. When I want to turn my volume up or down, I have to go to system prefrences and change the volume that way. It's annoying and a big waste of time. Please help me before I throw this computer against the wall.
Thank You!!

I've got an extremely similar problem. Spillage on the keyboard. Unknown, what it was.
To start with it was dead, no power up.
Then it dried out. There was still a bit of battery power left, and the mouse and track pad worked for a few minutes then it all froze.
So I shut the lid. I left it like that, because I couldnt switch it off.
Much later, opened it up again and all windows opened up, all info was correct,
I was advised to try wireless mouse and keyboard, but you have to get in there before it freezes again.
The battery was charging normally as well.
I made the decision to let the battery die completely and then switch it on again, but sure enough when I did this, it ignored any re-boot command and that's that. Dead as a do-do.
So, without being a computer whizz kid, I presume, it's off to the Apple store for a sizeable bill.
Unless someone else has a cunning plan ????????
I would love to hear it !!!!!!

When I unplug Apple headphones from my MacBook Pro sond from internal speakers not work, and system soud preferences displayed: Output: optical digital out port only

When I unplug Apple headphones from my MacBook Pro sond from internal speakers not work, and system soud preferences displayed: Output: optical digital out port only

If you see a red light in the audio output port, then the internal switch is stuck. Insert the earphone plug a few times and see if you can trip the switch. If that fails, insert a cocktail stirrer and the like and jiggle it around inside. If that fails, take it to an Apple store and have the technicians at the genius bar do it for you.

Every time I plug in my headphones into my Macbook Pro, my volume control buttons don't work.

Every time I plug in my headphones into my Macbook Pro, my volume control buttons don't work. Even after I unplug my headphones they don't work, they get stuck on the level of volume it was at when I plugged in the headphones. I can control the volume if I go to system preferences and do it that way, but that is such a pain. Also, in order to get the buttons to work again I have to completely restart my computer which is also a pain! What should I do, or can do, to fix the problem?

Keyboard volume control does not work

I have an iMac G5, running OS 10.5.8, and a new Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad. My keyboard volume control does not work. Any have ideas as to why ? (I have a similar set-up at work with no volume problems.)

Try system prefs/keyboard/keyboard/ and uncheck Use all F1, F2 etc as standard function keys.
Other wise the volume and brightness controls will only work if you hold down the function key first (fn)

When unlocking my iphone with the camera slide, my volume controls won't work on video playbacks. However, if I unlock the phone normally and open the camera roll I am able to watch my videos and control the volume. Anyone else notice this?

Ipad Keyboard volume controls don't work?

When I have headphones plugged in to the jack on the keyboard the volume controls don't work. If I plug them in to the jack on the Ipad then the volume controls work. Known bug? Defective unit?
Any help appreciated.

The keyboard controls, but nevermind. I found out they're not supposed to work on the aux jack on the back of the keyboard. Guess I should RTFM
Thanks anyway, everyone!

Macbook pro keyboard and pad don't work after installing drivers. Help!

I just installed windows XP SP2 on a macbook pro 2.66 i7 running 10.6.4. I installed the boot camp drivers and everything from my OSX install disk and now neither keyboard, trackpad, nor usb mouse work. Not sure what to do other than delete the partition and start over. Any help is much appreciated!

I have the exact same problem with the same two operating systems and the same exact computer. Needless to say, I would also love to get an answer to this question.

I tried updating my Macbook Pro and now it won't work?

I had OS Mountain Lion 10.8.2 for my MacBook Pro (version: late 2012) and I tried updating the operating system. The update was about three out of seven minutes in when a box popped up and said there was an error updating and that the process must restart. I clicked "okay" and waited for a couple of minutes but my screen was all gray and nothing else. I thought my MacBook froze, so I manually restarted it by holding down the power button and then pressing it again and now my screen is gray with the apple symbol and black coded text with writing such as "Unable to find driver for this platform", "Mac OS Version: Not yet set" and "System uptime in nanoseconds: 242856217", along with a series of codes such as " panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff8008c59241)". The screen is stuck like this and will not change. I have tried manually restarting it but it just keeps showing this screen. How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Reboot your laptop while holding the alt/option key then I prefer you connect your laptop to an Ethernet cable because wifi gets slow . We'll, now choose the recovery driver. After that choose reinstall whatever software and just wait for a few hours for the thing to install and then your basically done hopefully no files will be earased since that is what I did and everything was perfectly fine no files lost, nothing
Good luck

My MacBook pro's power button won't work.

So my MacBook pros power button wouldn't work, there fore I couldn't switch the notebook off, which I need to do to try and get access to my houses wifi, which strangely wouldn't connect although would t my iPad and iPhone. So I turned the laptop off through the keyboard short cut and now when I try to turn it back on, the button won't work. The laptop was running perfectly fine (appart from the Internet connection) it was charging great and should be duly charged at the minute, i just can't find a way to turn it om, is there anyway other than the button? And what could be wrong with the button itself, as I'm clueless.

System Preference > Trackpad > Point & Click > Secondary click
Make sure that "Secondary click" is enabled.
Click the black downward arrow to get the pop-up and pick your choice.
Best.

My macbook pro is freezing/sound won't work

A few days ago my Macbook pro started freezing up and requiring a forced power off each time. Sometimes the screen would go completely white, other times the cursor would still move but the display was broken and unable to be clicked. It happens at random intervals, sometimes without me even running any programs it will freeze up and go to a blank screen. A lot of times it takes a few consecutive tries to actually restart it in the first place.
Anyway, I contacted Apple Support Chat and the employee helped me to Repair the Disk Permissions which provided a temporary fix. After it kept acting up later, I followed her instructions to do both a PRAM reset and SMC reset. However, after performing both of those today now my screen has gone dark blue a few times and also the sound won't work with or without headphones.
Could someone please help me?

Os X Yosemite Volume Control Won't Work

Since upgrading I've had serious issues with my volume control on my macbook pro. First is that the keyboard buttons won't do anything. I can press them and the picture shows up saying they're moving the volume up and down, but on the actual menu bar icon, nothing changes. Also, when I plug things into my computer I have to manually open the preferences to change the output, and once I do that I have to wait about 5 mins for it to register the change. I've tried restarting my computer many times but it doesn't seem to fix the issue :s. HELP!

Musicapp, speaker and volume control won't work since updated to iOS 7.1

Since I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.1 my iPhone works faster than iOS 7. But some apps like musicapp, youtube have no volume control and the speakers won't work. When somebody call me the iPhone rings normally. I tried turn off bluetooth because I thought the iPhone will conect to my car. I pressed the lock and homebutton for reseting, I deletetet my whole iPhone and installed iOS7.1 again - nothing changed. Only when i plug in my earphones everything will work as normal.

Hi AmishCake!
Thanks for your tipp! i cleaned the headphone port and usb-port and reinserted the plug several times!
i think this isn't the problem!

https://www.dropbox.com/s/omi3hlp1zzyx43k/Foto%2026.03.14%2013%2017%2040.png
it seems to be a problem of the update to 7.1 because some guys posted the same problem on other sites.
sorry for my bad english and thank you for trying to solve my problem!

MacBook Pro Keyboard Function Keys & Backlight Stopped Working

This is a repost of an older thread, however i am having the same exact problem and i know i am not the only one.
Origionally posted by FIDO2010 -
"Problem: The keyboard function keys (i.e. screen brightness, audio volume etc.) and backlight no longer work in Windows 7 (64-Bit) running Boot Camp 3.x. I also had the identical problem with Windows Vista (64-Bit) running Boot Camp 2.1.
Oddity: When I first installed Windows 7 and Boot Camp 3.x (same with Vista and Boot Camp 2.1), the keyboard and backlighting worked perfectly for about 3 Shut-Down/Re-Starts.
Points of Interest: I use a Logitech MX Revolution 2.4GHZ mouse and a Microsoft Blue Tooth Presenter Mouse 8000 with this machine. When I had this problem running Vista 64-Bit and Boot Camp 2.1, I assumed the problem was created by installing the drivers for these mice (suspecting that the mouse drivers over-wrote the Apple keyboard driver); however, I installed NO mouse drivers when I deleted the Vista 64 Boot Camp partician and created the "fresh" Windows 7 (64-bit) / Boot Camp 3.x partician.
I have tried the obvious of un-installing/re-installing Boot Camp, running the Boot Camp driver in repair mode, and manually replacing the keyboard driver itself. None of which have worked.
Solutions?"
Any insight will be greatly appreciated. this issue is driving me crazy. Must have installed windows a good 30-40 times in the past couple months. thank you

As you all are probably well aware, this exact problem has been asked on a countless number of discussion boards and each is answered with a different "solution." Quotation marks are necessary because the solutions suggested work for some users but don't work for others. So, in a way, I offer those who read this reply this same disclaimer. The following solution worked for me (for now!) but it may not work for you.
Just like those other users, my volume and brightness function keys on my Macbook refused to work after installing the latest Bootcamp updates and after restarting Windows 'x' amount of times. In addition, trackpad scrolling, which worked great after one of the updates, also did not respond.
Here's what I did to get them working again, and it's rather simple. Find the Bootcamp application in Windows. Mine was housed in Program Files but yours may located be somewhere differently. Right-click the application and select Open. In my case the screen went black and the resolution downgraded to 800x600 or lower when the images on the screen returned so keep this in mind if or when you attempt this. The screen is significantly cropped so you may have trouble navigating to the Control Panel to fix the resolution to your liking. Anyway, now my brightness and volume function keys and trackpad scrolling work properly.
I should mention one or two more bits of information before I sign off. To start, I cannot say if this trick continues working after restarting Windows. Also, I do not know if this process is something you have to perform everytime you run Windows. In any case, let the world know if this or any other solution fixes this stated problem for you.

Macbook Pro 15inch Volume, brightness keys not working (All the special F keys)

Hello,
I have this problem on my MBP where my Fn (Function Keys) on the top row of my keyboard don't work properly. I use these keys all the time to adjust brightness, keyboard LED brightness, pause, play and volume but they aren't working anymore. When I press F12 it shows the dashboard. I already have the 'Use all F1, F2 ect. keys as standard function keys' unchecked in System preferences, Keyboard. I am on a bootcamped MBP but mainly use the Mac OSX. This problem is occuring on Mac OSX not Windows. I have not dropped my MBP to damage it or anything like that. I have installed 16GB Ram and the Seagate Momentus 750GB Hybrid SSD a few months ago. Anyone know how I can fix this?
Any help will be extremly appreciated!
- Kieran/Paul

Check the setting in Keyboard, Keyboard Tab, that the "Use all F1, F2, ect. keys as standard function keys" isn't checked.

My Macbook pro keyboard and trackpad do not work

There is no water damage. So please, do not say this may be the problem. My mac is only around 2 months old. I was using my keyboard and trackpad fine, when i looked away, and when i looked back nothing worked at all. No keys, nor the trackpad work. Please if someone knows a known issue, please bring it to my attention. Thanks!
