Got a new keyboard and can't get dashboard hot-key to work

Hi. I have a 24" IMac from Dec 2007 and I'm running Lion.
Yesterday, I had to replace my keyboard. I got a new one at the Apple Store near me.
The new keyboard seems to be the same, except the F4 function key is different. In my previous keyboard, the F4 function key had a little icon for the Dashboard.
On the new keyboard, there is a different icon and I'm not sure what it's of.
Anyway, I opened the Mission Control preferences (from System Preferences) and F4 is assigned to Show Dashboard.
However, when I hit F4, nothing happens at all. The Dashboard only shows up when hiy Fn-F4.
So, is there any way to get the Dashboard to open when I hit just F4?
Thanks!

I am using photoshop CS6, but I was also running CS6 on my last iMac and
the contact sheet worked with no problem. I can get contact sheet to work
through Bridge but not photoshop, it's very frustrating.

HT1386 I got a new iPad and can't get my music or videos to download. Every time I download I go to music & it still says no music Is there a setting or something I'm missing?

I got a new iPad and can't get my music or videos from the cloud or iTunes. Every time I download all my music & a video then click on music it says I don't have any music & I can purchase music on iTunes. I go to iTunes click purchased and download again. It shows everything downloaded so I open music and get the same message - no music. The same happens with videos. Am I missing a setting or something?

But how did you fix it ????? Pls help me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - tears of pain and frustration gushes out-

Just got a new Ipad and can't get computer to recognize it.

I just got a new Ipad and when I hook it up to the computer it does not show up on my desktop or in itunes. And on the ipad screen it still is asking me to plug in the USB. I have tried 3 different ports, restarting both the computer and Ipad with no luck. Any suggestions?

I did not want to start a new msg so I will just comment on the iPad cover interfering with the keyboard connector. I like to leave the Apple case on all the time. Then I can just pick it up and go. I was a little disappointed when I tried to connect with the case on and had to take it off. I took a razor blade to the bottom of the case and cut out a section large enough to fit over the connector. It worked fine.

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

I got a new computer and can I get all my songs back?

Got a new computer can't get all my songs back. How do i Get all my songs back?

You can download all of your purchased songs by following the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If the songs were from CD's or other sources, you would need those to get those certain songs back.

I just got a new computer and can't get my library to download

I can't figure out how to get all the songs I have bought through the years to show up on this computer.

Your music will not not magically appear. Your music will only be where you put it.
You buy one download only. it is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

Just got a new iphone and can't get it to connect to my existing itunes

how do I get my itunes/computer to "se" my new iphone?

Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.5 or later (free download fromwww.itunes.com/download)
See here for...

I just bought a new iPad and can't get the text messaging to work. When I try to address the message a red exclamation point appears and says the person is not registered. How do I register them? They are already in my contacts list & they all are active in my iPhone text messaging.

You could go hunting for a fair price on a refurbished or restored Intel-based Mac or MacBook, as most early models of CoreDuo and Core2Duo can run Snow Leopard 10.6.8, and some much more recent.
The Apple Store's Special Deals section that is online has some fairly recent examples of hardware with an OS, original accessories as noted, power cord, and complementary one year coverage. Eligibility for extended AppleCare plans are noted & may be available for various items in the store. Subject to availability. Refurbished. Like new. The price difference can be about the same as the additional two year AppleCare plan may cost, so get that too.
Third party repaired restored or available through other channels vary in quality, quantity, condition, and may be lacking in some or most original accessories; they should include basic hardware as originally equipped and have the boot-install software disc set as intended for that build model & year specification, included.
Auction sites rarely have that much of a kit together, w/ missing discs, scruffy, extra fees, etc. On the other hand, companies that restore and repair Macs for a living and are authorized Apple service centers may have something, if you aren't in the market for something holiday new or really quick. Older models if reasonably refurbished can still shine years later.
Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!

I just bought a new computer and can't get it to import my music?

I just got a new computer and want to get all the music, applications, contacts, and everything else synced with my iTunes. How do i do it? I have all the stuff on my old computer, but I don't want to risk losing the stuff on my phone. Help please!

Transfer your iTunes folder (which contains your entire iTunes library) from your old PC to your new PC. On Windows, your iTunes folder is in the “My Music” folder. Place it in the same location on your new PC and quit iTunes before making the transfer. You will also need to authorize your new computer with iTunes with your iTunes account.
Syncing contact information and calendar events is done by iTunes with the supported application on your computer, but is not stored by iTunes.
You can sync contact info and calendar events with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or contact info with the Address Book used by Outlook Express with XP, or with the Address Book used by Windows Mail with Vista - the name change for Outlook Express with Vista.
Before syncing contact info with the supported application on your new computer, enter one contact in the address book on your computer. Make one up if needed. If you are syncing with Outlook 2003 or 2007, do the same with a calendar event.
This will provide a merge prompt when syncing this data, which you want to select.
Any photos transferred from your old computer to your iPhone need to be transferred from your old computer to your new computer.

If this is a question about syncing with iTunes, you might want to post it over in the iTunes forum.

hibob99,
Thank you so much for reaching out to us. I know there are to many passwords out there now days to keep track of them all. Are you looking to reset the Verizon.net e-mail address? If so, you would need to reach out to Verizon Communication by calling 800-837-4966. Please keep us posted.

Hi mwatts18,
As a preliminary troubleshooting step, you should reference the information in the following article:
OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
I would especially suggest that you delete the account and re-add it, making sure that you are entering the correct password when you add the account. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

Hello there, Capricious13.
There are great pointers in the following Knowledge Base article. Depending on where you see the content and where you want to get it to, this should guide you to putting it in the right place:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
