Former PC user has a problem with volume short cut

Can someone help me? My mac book pro is 2 weeks old and somehow I just disengaged the handy volume short cuts on the keyboard. How do I get the volume controls and mute button to come back to F3-F5?

Hi, lycidas, and welcome to the discussions.
Try heading to System Preferences (under the Apple menu). Now select "Keyboard and Mouse" and choose the "Keyboard" tab.
Make sure there ISN'T a tick in the box next to "Use all F1, F2 etc. keys as standard function keys".
Cheers
Rod

Someone else has a problem with volume button getting stuck?

My volume button gets stuck when I keep pressing it, it's software or hardware issue?

Restore as new, if that fixes the problem it is something in your settings or backup that was causing the issue.
If it does not fix the problem, you have a hardware issue.

G4 mini has a problem with its volume structure

My G4 mini has a problem with its volume structure according to Tech Tools Deluxe. One that the application can't seem to repair. Ran it 3 times and it always hangs before it completes the fix. Never hangs in exactly the same place in the repair routine, but always hangs.
Ran these tests because for the longest time the mini would accelerate (panic) and shut down. Installation on a new system hangs before it completes the install of all the upgrades. Any help would be appreciated.

I realize it was not clear from the original post whether or not DiskUtility had been tried yet to fix the hard drive.
To use DiskUtility to repair the drive, you have to boot from the original install disc that shipped with your Mini.
1) Insert the Install disc and the shutdown the Mini.
2) Restart the Mini and hold down the C key as soon as the startup chime or beep is heard. Hold it down until you see the "gear" spinning on the screen.
3) Select your language, but don't proceed any farther with installation. Use the Utilities menu at the top of the screen to run DiskUtility.
4) In DiskUtility, click once on the hard drive in the left panel, then click on the Repair Disk button in the right panel.

Whatsnew page for 3.6.17 has formatting problems with Firefox and I.E.

I just updated from 3.6.16 to 3.6.17n and the whatsnew page, displayed after Firefox restarted, has formatting problems in the lower right hand corner.
I checked it with I.E. 8 and it also shows the formatting problem.
Why wasn't this caught before the page was put into "production"?
The URL is http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6.17/whatsnew/
There is a line with the text "Release Notes » Firefox Features » Firefox Help »" that is being displayed on top of other material.
I wonder what a new Firefox user or an inexperienced user would think of this? They might think that they did something wrong or, worse, they might consider Firefox had problems and they won't use it.
This reflects badly on Firefox.
One more thing, could someone make this textarea taller and wider. It is so small as to cause problems typing and proofing the material.

How about upping the cols and rows values? They are currently rows="10" cols="40"

As you have a Power Mac you also have a alternative option to consider which is a third-party build from http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2011/08/601-now-available.html

X-Fi Notebook has a problem with headset/line-in

0X-Fi Notebook has a problem with headset/line-in` First the basics:
-HP Pavillion dv6000
-Intel Core 2 Duo @ .83 GHz
-Windows Vista Home and Student (SP) 32 bit
-3 GB RAM
Ok, now the problem:
-Ever since I got my Sound Blaster X-Fi card for this past christmas, I've had a problem with using the headset/lin-in port on it. Its only now that it's gotten to be a big enough irritation for me to need to fix it. I went to play some BF2 and hook up my earphone/microphone combo. The problem is, that the default recording device "Line-in" doesn't detect any sound when I have it plugged in. Further more, when I change it to "SB X-Fi micropone" it does detect my voice, but its on some kind of feedback loop, because it then transmits whatever the mic picks up onto my speakers/headphones/whatever I have plugged into it as an output. Its almost like they have the "line-in" and "microphone" functions either switched or blended into one. I did a complete reinstall of the drivers and software, but no luck. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks guys

Hi,
What I mean is the microphone jack on your x-fi notebook. since you are saying you can hear yourself when you switch the recording source to microphone, I would assume that you have plugged in a microphone into your x-fi notebook. You should check if there is a microphone control on your volume mixer and whether it is unmuted if there is one. There are many sound card which allows for the microphone audio to be heard on the speaker output if the microphone source is unmuted.

I have been a loyal customer for years and have a hot spot because internet options are very limited in our rural area. I have stayed with 10G since the beginning. Most months I don't use the 10G. Verizon has no problem with me paying for Data I don't use. This month my daughter comes home from College and she accidentally uses 24G.....14 over get blind sided with $140.00 in overages. I called Verizon today......stopped in to the store today......My neighbor told me they waved charges for her one time. Lots of charges.....But I'm am getting no help. Not even an offer of a payment plan to help me out. I went back just 6 months and I have over paid for 19G.....Seems like they would like to help out their loyal customers!!!! Does anybody have any suggestions on how to deal with them? We are not wealthy....or I would just pay this and walk away......

There is a big misconception in what customers believe a cell carrier is obligated to do.
You pay a set price to use up to that amount of xx data. It makes no difference if you use it to the paid limit or way under. Its like peace of mind when you don't have to worry about a data counter.
Your daughter used the data, your plan is quite clear of what overage charges are. Why should or would Verizon wireless just forgive the charges because you are a customer? Your daughter used the data, get the money from her. That is the responsible thing to do.
There is no "I have been a loyal customer so please remove the $120, or $250, or $2,000.00 since I did not mean to use it"
Your electric company, or gas company or any other company does not remove valid charges. Why should Verizon wireless?
Just pay the invoice and don't think you are being mistreated because Verizon is a business and not a charity.
Good Luck

Face time fades out and then tries to reconnect on new ipad retina display on WiFi. Iphone 4s has no problem with face time from exact same location and same contact. WiFi signal strong on both devices. What gives?

Is the router to small?
Not necessarily, if you are using Facetime all the data goes through your WiFi router, your cable/DSL modem, your ISP and the internet to Apple's Facetime servers and then, in reverse, down to the Facetime recipient. If your ISP connection is too slow or there is excessive traffic on the internet you can have Facetime problems.
Most WiFi routers can handle this unless others in the house are also using WiFi at the same time. The problem may be your ISP connection or congestion on the internet, etc.

This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

I'd take it into my local APple store and have them look at it. There may be something wrong inside your device.

TS1702 I had this Scrabble on my iPad2 and began to have connection problems, it would lock in the "connecting" position. This is not the first time Scrabble has had problems with interface. Typically customers delete the Ap then download it again to rein

I have contacted EA about this and can find no help. I had this Scrabble on my iPad2 and began to have connection problems, it would lock in the "connecting" position. This is not the first time Scrabble has had problems with interface. Typically customers delete the Ap then download it again to reinstall it. During the process you sign in and approve the purchase KNOWING that another window will open saying that you have previously purchased it and that there is no charge. So what happened this time? It will not connect and all of my saved and current games are wiped out. I want my money back, this game interface is pretty junk and operates like some ancient DOS program,,bug,bug,buggy. I want my money back.

and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

What kind of wireless router are you using? more importantly which protocol are you connecting with? Are you and wife connecting using the 2.4Ghz band? or do you have a dual band router that offers the 5GHZ band? Are you both connecting vie 802.11 a/b/g or n?
The best thing to do is to go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES and select NETWORK, then select AIRPORT and click on the ADVANCED button.
Under the AirPort tab you should delete all the preferred networks and only add back in your network with the proper security settings and passwords.
If you hold down the option key on your keyboard while clicking on the airport icon at the top on your macbook pro. you'll seesome data that will tell you what band and mode you're connecting at, as well as in an indication of signal strength (RSSI) if you write down and post back that information it'll tell us what's going on.

Never mind, I already found the solution myself.
What I did wrong was:
- not copying the master image to the nbi folder
- selecting the netinstall-restore.dmg image as source to copy to my HD.
The thing is, when you create a netinstall image for 10.5, the image itself is already included in the netinstall image so you don't have to do anything else.
With the 10.4 image however, you also have to copy the master image to the NetBootSP0 directory.
In the *.nbi folder contains an netinstall-restore.dmg file. But that is only to boot you to netrestore, it's not the image itself.
Other alternative is to copy the images to another folder that you share with AFP and adjust the configuration of netrestore like described in this manual:
http://www.shellharbourd.det.nsw.edu.au/pdf/misc/osxrestoringnet.pdf
This manual was also how I figured out that I forgot to copy the image to the NetBootSP0 folder.

Using techtool pro found problem with "volume structure". What to do?

Using techtool pro found problem with "volume structure" and this was not fixed by TECHTOOL PRO. What do you suggest I do?

I would boot from my gray install disk (put the disk in the drive and restart holding down the C key). Then choose Utilities and run Disk Utility and click Repair Disk. As always, be sure you have a back up of your data first.
