Function Buttons no longer work

Installed Leopard. (Had a painful time).
The Fn Buttons used to work with tiger:
Fn F4 -> volume, Fn F2 -> Brightness, etc...
These buttons no longer work.
How do I fix it ?
Do I need a driver or something ?

System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > keyboard.
Make sure the 'Use all F1 & F2 as Standard function keys' has been ticked or use the keys without the fn key.

Function keys no longer working with a new keyboard...

I got a new keyboard and my function keys no longer work with it. I am used to have them used in the standard format, i.e. F10-F12 control the voume, etc. I have the "Use all f1,f2, etc." button clicked. I have also tried restarting my computer. Any thoughts?

Try doing a SMC reset and PRAM reset.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

The share button no longer works in pages so I can email documents to others

When I first got my Mac and started using it, I discovered the share button at the top of pages, where I could email the document to others without having to export it and then attach it to an email. After installing Mountain Lion, I found that this function would no longer work. I took it to the apple store and they said we should reinstall the OS system. So after backing everything up and spending almost two hours in the store, then another 30 minutes reinstalling backups, I find it it is still not working. I click the share button, choose email, PDF, the button high lights, then there is a popping sound, then the high light disappears and nothing happens.

I'd also advise you to update to v3.6.16 because the version you're running right now is a security risk. Click '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''.

Why does my button no longer work in Flash Player 8?

Hi,
I have built a site in Flash MX a while ago. Now I’d
like to upgrade things a bit while testing the new Adobe Flash CS3.
To be able to use a new function (“anti-alias for
readability”) the program warns me that “this feature
is not supported by Flash Player 6. To use this feature, you must
target Flash player 8.”
So I change the setting to Flash Player 8, leaving
Actionscript to version 2.0.
However, now one of my main menu buttons no longer works!
When I change settings back to Flash Player 6, things are fine
again. What am I overlooking?
Below is the script for the button (which has an instance
name). Does anything change with the actionscript in CS3?
Thanks for any advise!
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
_root.Play();

That's it! It works fine again. Thanks a lot, you made my
night!

Seems the gyroscope function is no longer working on my iPhone 5c. Suggestions?

Seems the gyroscope function is no longer working on my iPhone 5c. Suggestions?

Thank you so much for this reply. I had already seen this reboot suggestion and actually tried it. During the night I realized that I had phrased the question wrong because I really had the issue of getting my iPhone to change to LANDSCAPE mode. For some reason I asked for help on the gyroscope Thinking that the gyroscope controlled this feature. I found that I had accidentally turned on the "orientation lock" and by bringing up the control panel from the bottom of the screen I was able to find this lock button and correct the problem. The truth is ---- the iPhone scree is so small that I was not able to see this little lock symbol at all. I found this symbol on my iPad and transferred the knowledge to my iPhone. Everything is working fine now And I thank you very much for taking the time to write to me. SuzanneVA

"prev"and "next" buttons no longer work on Yahoo/other slideshows. Still work in Chrome.

In updating for FFX 6 and 7, the next and prev buttons no longer work in slideshows on Yahoo news and similar sites. Sometimes the status bar shows the links as javascript: void or :null. Sometimes longer links. All javaconsole add-ins are shown as incompatible with these version of FFX.

i woudnt suggest it, but if your warranty is up it could just be a bad connection from the wheel...what generation do you have? my 4th generation 20 gig ceased to function and it was because somehow one of the cables had a bad connection. i took it to the apple store and they gave me an estimate for something i wasnt willing to pay on a 2 year old ipod so i just winged dissasembleing it and after taking apart the whole thing and reassembling it worked fine.

Spamming has made app reviews pointless and report button no longer works

The app reviews have become useless to me because of all of the spamming. And to make matters worse, the report button no longer works so the spamming posts can't be reported. Who do we contact to report spam?

My guess is that you have a scope problem. By putting the button inside a movieclip you have made the buttons scope the same as that clip.
So if you add a trace inside the release event handler, what do you get?
trace("My current scope is: "+this);
I'm guessing it is "_level0.mc_anim_backdrops_menu," right?
So since you are using the global function of gotoAndPlay() it is looking for that label in the current timeline and not finding it.
You should probably use the MovieClip method and specifiy which timeline it should look in.
_root.gotoAndPlay("Why");
_level0.gotoAndPlay("Why")
_parent.gotoAndPlay("Why");
both would probably work. I would never use the first two, other than to make sure that there wasn't something else going on...

My lock button no longer works on my ipod touch and now i have all kinds of problems with it freezing and kicking me out of apps. Is there any way to get this fixed and were would i go to get it fixed?

Please Help!!!! I have an ipod touch 4th gen. and since the last update the lock button no longer works, this has caused it to have a lot of problems now like freezing all the time, kicking me out of almost all my apps, some times even when if locks on its own its not locked and buttons with be pushed in my pocket, and this causes the battiery to die fast. I really love my ipod and would like to just get it fix if possible for a reasonable about of money. Anyone know of a place I can get it fixed in Ft Lauderdale Fl area or is there something I can do?

Have you tried:

Why are the back/forwards buttons no longer working after upgrade?

Hi, I recently upgraded from Firefox 3.5 (I believe) to Firefox 4.0.1 and now the back and forwards buttons no longer work. I tried resetting the settings under the toolbars > customize, etc. That didn't work. FYI, I'm using a mac. Any solutions? Thanks in advance...

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

HT2188 home button no longer working after upgrade to io6 on my iphone4...any ideas to fix this problem

home button no longer working after upgrade to ios6 software on my iphone4..anything i can do to frix this or apple send me a new device. phone no good without a home button

The button's broken. S**t happens. Apple will replace your phone. If in waranty it will be free of charge. If not, you will pay $149.
You can elect to have it repaired at a 3rd party shop near you if you choose, but this will void all warranty if there's any left.

My ipod touch 4th generation keeps lagging, all the apps crash, nothing will update and my home button no longer works?

Its about two years old and the screens been smashed twice and replaced, the home button no longer works, and now its slow and basically nothing even opens or updates. is it the end of my ipods life now ahah.

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Since updating to 3.6.15 today, back button no longer works and FF doesn't remember URLs

Since updating to 3.6.15 today, back button no longer works and FF doesn't remember URLs. Not just that memory of previous URLs got wiped out, it still doesn't remember the ones I've typed in since I updated. And No back button, it's really hard to use.
I went thru all the settings and could not find a way to fix this problem. What is up? I've never had this happen in any version of IE, FF, or Chrome.
Can I get back previous version? Until then, it's Chrome and IE for me.
I'll be happy to delete any plug-ins if it will make this problem go away.
THANKS in advance!

Thanks. This didn't solve te problem but it seemed to have solved itself. all of a sudden it started working properly, without me even closing FF and starting it up again. Thanks Cor-el, if it happens again I'll try your solution.

Yahoo mail page sign-in button no longer works

I suddenly can't sign into my yahoo accounts on my iPad 1. It seems the sign-in button no longer works, when I tap it or use the "go" button, nothing happens - no error message, nothing. I've re-set the iPad and I still can't sign in. I can get to all of the other Yahoo web pages, just not my mail. I can sign into other websites no problem. Any suggestions? Is my iPad now completely obsolete?
I can sign in without a problem on my iMac.
Thanks,
Kathleen

Reset your iPad. This will do no harm and you will not lose any data. See if that works. If not, clear Safari and then try again.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.

The back button no longer works. I have disabled all add-ons, rebooted & reset the defaults for the browser and nothing has changed. This happens on all webpages.How do I get the back button to light up again?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
