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

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 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

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

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.

ActiveX control is not working with windows NT

I've have a stand alone application which uses an activeX control. The application was compiled using Labview 7.1 on a Windows XP machine. The application will run without any problems on Windows XP and Windows 2000, however the activeX control will not work with Windows NT 4.0. The activeX control is registered, and I have also compiled the application on a Windows NT 4.0 machine. I do not receive any error messages, the application will start but will not communicate with the activeX control. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello,
Have you tired running the VI by itself (not exe) on the NT machine? Make sure you are doing adequate error checking in your code. It could be possible that the application is generating an error which in not handled appropriately. Also which service pack do you have installed on the NT machine? Please look at the release notes for LabVIEW 7.1 here.

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.

H8-1287 Beats Audio controls do not work in Windows 8.1

I've upgraded to Windows 8.1 and installed the IDT High-Definition audio driver from HP's website. The surround sounds seems to be working but the controls do not work to modify the EQ etc. I've seen the problem has been resolved for Envy laptops but all the links for the software appear to only be for the notebooks and not compatible with my desktop system. I've downloaded the available software (IDT High-Definition Audio driver) found under my HPE HI-1287 product from HP's support site but the Beats audio control panel doesn't seem to make any sound quality changes. Hopefully there is a driver somewhere compatible with my desktop system that allows controling the audio properly. Thanks.

Hello @KICR,
I understand that the Beats Audio Console is not adjusting the audio settings on your HP Pavilion HPE h8-1287c Desktop PC running Windows 8.1. According to the HP Pavilion HPE h8-1287c Desktop PC Drivers page there are no Windows 8.1 drivers for your computer. I can only assume that this means your computer is currently using Windows default drivers or Windows 8 drivers and the Beats Audio Console is not able to interact properly with the currently installed driver.
All I can recommend is that you check back periodically to the drivers page I linked above and see if Windows 8.1 drivers have been created. Other than that your only option at this time would be to use the HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8) to restore your computer back to Windows 8 where the Beats Audio Console has drivers that are compatible.
I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Esc key not working in windows 7

Hi,
I have a HP Pavilion dv6-4XXX series. It's almost been 2 years I bought this notebook.
Recently I faced an issue. The "ESC KEY" has stopped working. However I could find that it's working fine in BIOS but not when I am logged in to windows. I have windows-7 installed.
Please let me know what could be the issue and the solution for the same.

Hello siddharthmishra,
You’re having a problem with the ESC key not working.
Go to device manager and uninstall the keyboard and restart the computer. This should uninstall and reinstall the driver for the keyboard.
Here is a link to device manager.
If the problem has not been happening for very long, you might try a System Restore. This will take the system back to before the problem started happening without affecting any of your files.
Here is a link to a System Restore.
Let me know how everything goes.

FN key not working in Windows XP - Satellite L305-S5885

Hello, I have recently downgraded my Toshiba Satellite L305 S5885 from Vista to WindowsXP. Everything is working fine except the function (Fn) keys for controlling screen brightness, volume. Some work like mute but most do not do anything when I try to use them. All drivers installed fine the device manager shows nothing missing or errors.
I have tried installing all the drivers for the keyboard, Fn keys, hotkeys and still I cannot get them to work at all. Has anyone been able to get these keys to work after installing WinXP or do you know what drivers/software I am missing? Can these keys be used in XP or do they only work in Vista?
Thanks.

Woudl advise a BIOS upgrade when downgrading to Windows XP, the European BIOS driver for your version of notebook is;

When the BIOS has been installed, re-install the Hotkeys/Controls driver on the link below;

Satellite A350 - FN keys not working after Windows 7 installation

Sorry for my bad english, i am forum Portugal and i don't are very good at english.
1 I installed Windows 7 on my pc, installed the drivers 7 and FN was to give. However I had another problem and had to format the pc again, now install everything again and functionality not the FN.
2 Without the drive functionality that is FN + F6/F7 brightness works. But with the drive not installed anything. It seems they are in conflict.
3 The bar at the top of the screen that appeared no longer appears. But if I go to Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Utilities -> Settings for TOSHIBA E-cards. With it open, squeeze "Allow the mouse to show the cards" and they appear at the top, as hidden. But just gives me no way, I wish to give to the FN.
Anyone know how this is resolved?? It gave me immense way and even have tried everything, installed everything, there is nothing to block the FN key? A feature that blocks this key?? Please help me.
My PC as it says in the title is Toshiba Sattelite A350D 10Y PSALME....

To enable Fn key functionality, you need to install:
TOSHIBA Value Added Package (v1.2.28)
Utility Support Driver for Windows 7 (v1.0.25.5C)
If you installed Vista version of those packages, it may not work properly.
You need to Windows 7 versions specifically for the A350

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...

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
