Brightness control keys not working (f2+f3)

After upgrading to windows 10, my Brightness control keys(f2+f3) have stopped working.What shall i do?

I recommend that you download and install the latest version of the HP Support Assistant and run the Tune up application.http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp68001-68500/sp68201.exe It may find drivers that resolve the issue for you. Drivers and firmware that worked under Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 should also work for Windows 10. That is a nice and new feature of Windows 10. Install the Synaptics Touchpad driver software for Windows 8.1. It should work under Windows 10. Install in compatibility mode if needed.http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp63001-63500/sp63417.exe Verify that the installed BIOS is the current version F.19

Keyboard: audio and Brightness control keys not working with or without fn

The Keys for controling Audio and Brightness (F1-F5) do not work.
Also combined with pressing the "fn" key the keys do not work.
So i only control audio with the remote control or the slider in the menubar.
Making a reboot with deleting pram didn't help.
I'm running the up to date version of leopard on a macbook pro (core2duo).
I also searched in the forum for this problem.
I oten read about "sytem control"-"keyboard and mouse"-"keyboard" and the F1, F2, etc. to use as...
but switching this button on or off doesn't change anything.

problem solved:
the couse was the software update 1.1 for macbook pro, because there i had the problem like in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6142512&#6142512
and did the solution like that, but there i maybe made some mistakes with renaming and copying, so i rinstalled the update and renamed it a copied to plugins, and now all works as it should.
thanks for help

Brightness control keys not working in windows 10

Check videocard driver in Device manager, probably it installed wrong

Brightness control keys stop working after booting MacOSX

I bought a new iMac 27" a couple of weeks ago, and I installed Windows 7 using bootcamp.
All the control keys (brightness, volume, etc) works ok on Windows until I reboot it in MacOSX. When i start windows again, brightness controls keys stops working, leaving the screen with the maximus bright, which is killing my eyes.
Reparing boot camp drivers doesn't do the trick. Am I missing something?

Try fn + the controls. It might be that Windows defaulted to those buttons as F1, F2, etc. Using fn while pressing the buttons will 'tell' Windows that it has to listen to the Bootcamp software and lower the brightness.

This tool is for changing RDP port but running it fixed my problem (I kept the port 3389 intact)!!
Hope it helps someone.

Brightness control does not work with the bluetooth keyboard connected on my iPad2. Please someone could help me ?

Brightness control does not work with the bluetooth keyboard connected on my iPad2. Please someone could help me ?

Julien-
I have the Apple MC184LL/A Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard. The brigtness control works with mine, as do most of the other functions.
Try cycling the keyboard off and on. Hold the power button until the green LED goes out. Then press it one more time to turn it back on.
You might try resetting the iPad's network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. Then you may need to reconnect your WiFi and Bluetooth.
If that doesn't help, try resetting/rebooting the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart in a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

Brightness and volume control keys not working with windows 7?

brightness, volume control and some other keys keys are not working with windows 7 with macbook pro retina. Can I fix it?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Have you installed Boot Camp drivers? You need them to make your computer work properly on Windows, and to use your function keys as Play or Pause, volume and brightness keys.
To install them, follow these steps:
1. Press the X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X.
2. Open Boot Camp Assistant and tick only the option to download Windows support software.
3. Windows support software will be downloaded and Boot Camp Assistant will ask you to burn it into a DVD or USB drive, so do it.
4. Start into Windows, insert the DVD or USB drive and install Boot Camp drivers. Your Mac and your volume and brightness keys will be working after installing the drivers

Volume & Brightness Controls do not work on Keyboard

I have a five and a half year old Mac (purchased January 2009) running OS X 10.5.8. My keyboard recently became faulty, so I went to the Apple store and bought the exact same thing as a replacement. The keys all appeared to work fine and I was very happy. However, today I tried to play a song from my iTunes library and noticed the volume up and down keys did not work! I then tried all of the keys across the top and discovered that the brightness keys that are identifiable do not work... that in fact the brightness up is the F15 key (when it should be the F2 key) and the brightness down is the F14 key (when it should be the F1 key).
I have read through the forums on these boards and tried all the suggested solutions. I have:
1) Tried checking and unchecking the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys." Restarted the computer. No change. Keys still don't work.
2) Reset the PRAM. Did it three times. No change. Keys still don't work.
3) Rebooted in Safe Mode to delete system caches. Restarted from the Apple menu. No change. Keys still don't work.
4) Someone suggested going to the Apple downloads page, but they didn't follow that suggestion up with anything else. I see updates for keyboard software, however they are all for wireless keyboards. My keyboard is wired, and it has the number pad on the right.
5) Run the command "sudo killall coreaudiod" in Terminal. No change. Keys still don't work.
6) Deleted the com.apple.soundpref.plist file in the Preferences folder in the User Library folder. No change. Keys still don't work.
7) Checked the Audio Midi Setup in Applications to ensure that the settings for output are set to 2ch- 24 bit and 44100.0 Hz for format. Which they are.
I will say that something did work! I downloaded and successfully set the function keys for volume and brightness using Spark (thanks to user turtlenecknz!). I will use this method as I think it is the only thing that will fix my problem (for now, at least). I'm just curious if there is a way to avoid using a software program as I'm not sure if it will need to be re-opened on system restart... for me, it boils down to reliability.
After reading this thread - Re: Mac Aluminum keyboard VOLUME KEYS not remapping - I've determined that the original keyboard I had for this computer was the MB110LL/A model. The Apple store gave me the MB110LL/B model. That is why I'm having this issue. Does Apple even carry the A Model any more? I found the A Model on Amazon, but it's $81 + $6 shipping- yikes! Does anyone know another site that sells it for less?
Any other troubleshooting suggestions are greatly appreciated! And, if anyone knows whether Apple carries the A Model any more (or know someplace I can get one cheaper than $87!), that is appreciated as well! Thank you to anyone that read this rather lengthy message, and then takes the time to respond.

Hello,
Simplest would be to add Spark to your Login items to have it start each time, or in the Dock, right click & choose Open at Login.
eBay might be an option, the black ones are esentially the same as the white ones...

Satellite C650-I5011 - Brightness control is not working

Hi,
I have a Toshiba C650 - I5011 model with Ubuntu 10.3 . I have a problem that even after pressing the Fn + F6 key, the brightness of my LCD does'nt change.
It remains at maximum.
I have installed both Toshutils and hotkey daemon. My volume control key (on numeric alternate) works perfectly fine but none of the Function keys work. Pls help.
Also, I had errors during installation of Ubuntu on my laptop because of which I had to permanently disable ACPI, else it won't boot. Following is the lspci output :

Hello,
The backlight detection depends from acpi options selection on your kernel. Which kernel version do you use ?
$ uname -a
(Use at least a 2.6.36 kernel since a lot of improvement for recent Toshiba laptop have been done during summer 2010)
This done, ACPI options beeing compiled into kernel or loaded as module, this line should appear in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log :
"found backlight control interface /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0"
Having a C650-15Z, my brightness control works well.
regards,
alex

Control key not working after repair

I took my macbook in over the weekend to the genius bar for them to look at the display hinge, from the paperwork it looks like in addition to replacing the display they also replaced the logic board and the wifi card.
I got the laptop home and the control key is not working. Resetting PRAM and NVRAM doesn't fix the issue, nor does fiddling with keyboard/universal access settings.
Is this a hardware issue? Do I need to make another trip to the genius bar?

Hm-m, I got exactly the same problem, got the logic board replaced today, and at home discovered that the control key is not working. Have you found the solution?

Volume Control Keys Not Working

I got a new MacBook Pro last week and i've noticed that the volume control keys on the keyboard are not working. When I press any of the keys, the grey box that typically appears does show up, but the volume level indicator does not move and there is a small circle underneath with a line through it that shows up every time as well. The only thing that changes is the actual speaker icon, which will change from having a line through it to not having a line through it and vice versa. I've checked the setting for the F# keys, and this is not "checked" in the settings. I'm not sure if this is something I can fix or if it is something I will have to go into the store to have checked out - suggestions?

I cant believe nobody has a fix on this!

Music control keys not working

Just recently the music control keys (the function keys 7-9) aren't working, all the other function keys work. The music control keys do not work even if I am in iTunes or if I set it to use function keys as standard function keys then try to fn use it. I have looked at other questions similar to this but they haven't fixed the problem. I just updated to Yosemite on Tuesday, I have turned my computer off twice since then and I restarted it today trying to fix the issue. I have a Macbook pro with retina. Thanks for the help.

Hi,
Maybe you could try a PRAM reset. OS X Yosemite: Reset your computer’s PRAM

Brightness shortcut keys not working in Windows 8 or 8.1

I'm no longer able to use the brightness shortcut keys after I've installed the Lenovo power management tool in Windows 8 on a Ideapad U300s.
When the Lenovo power management tool is NOT installed on the system, pressing the shortcut keys brings up the Windows UI in the upper left hand corner of the screen and the display bridghness is adjusted accordingly.
However, as soon as the Lenov PM software is installed, the Windows brightness indicator shows up ONCE and I can no longer adjust the brightness with the shortcut buttons.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
At the moment, there aren't any Boot Camp drivers ready for Windows 8, so it's normal that you have problems. Wait until Apple updates Boot Camp drivers, normally with a OS X update

Control key not working when selecting multiple photos for email

Okay, I can't seem to send more than one photo through email no matter how I try to "select them." I am able to select the photos from the photo library. I see the little scrolling screen at the top of the page and then use the control key to select the photos which appear in the larger screen beneath. The problem is, is that I can't send all of the pictures through email, it thinks I am only trying to send one. When I look at the big screen with the pictures I have selected it looks like only one is highlighted and no matter what I try (the control key, shift key) it won't select them, it pops up with an picture editing function. Is my iphoto screwed up? Help!

Okay, I tried both. I clicked <done> at the bottom of the screen and the scroll bar at the top disappeared and then I just see one large photo. The only thing that happens when I double click on the large photo is that it comes back to the scroll bar at the top again, or vice versa. Does that make sense? I'm seriously wondering if my software is screwed up. My husband finally was able to send multiple pictures via email by creating a slideshow and selecting the pictures that way. (iphoto help says you are not able to select pictures to send through email through a slide show....go figure.) I still need to get out of this mode and don't know what to do! Any other suggestions?

Control Key not working?

Last night I was looking at some photos and decided i would try to go and zoom in using Control+2 fingers, but it wasn't working. I went into the preferences and went into the trackpad options to make sure it was selected. It was selected, so i went into the options and changed it to Option+2 fingers and then Command+2 fingers. both of these work.
Is there any way to fix this or anything? It was working fine like a month ago, but maybe 2 weeks ago i went and got my cracked trackpad fixed by Apple. could they have messed up the key when they were fixing it?
P.S. if it is important or not, i got my 17-in MBP in Feb of '09

I called Apple Care. The guy made me do some diagnostic stuff and came to the conclusion that this one key must be broken. I couldn't follow all of his instructions since the CTRL key is necessary for some resets you can trigger by pressing keys during the start.
I was sent to an Apple Premium Partner to verify the problem. They told me it was either a problem with the unibody/logic board or a mechanical problem with the key itself. Best option would be an exchange. They said this qualifies as 'dead on arrival'.
I called Apple Care again and the they happily arranged an exchange. I'm hoping to get the replacement next week. They usually handle exchanges rather quickly (from my experience).
Let's hope the replacement is undamaged.
Good luck to the rest of you!
