How do I get my "play" button to work on my bluetooth keyboard?

I am using a Mid 2010 21.5" iMac running Mountain Lion. I recently had my HDD replaced by Apple because of the recent 1TB Segate Drive recall and now I cannot use my pause/play, skip, and back buttons on my apple wireless keyboard. I can use them as function keys but nothing else. I can change the brightness and change the sound using the keyboard but I cannot skip or pause a song or video or anything like that except for using a mouse and clicking on the next button or using my iPhone as a remote which only goes so far. I have tried using multiple programs, iTune, DVD Player, VLC Player and all are not able to be controlled by the keyboard and yes I made sure this programs were on top. This also holds true for expose. I am sure this simply has to be a simple setting somewhere but I am not sure where it would be. The only like setting that I saw was looking for was changing it so I need to use the function button every time I want to use a function like the sound or expose. I tried with this both on and off but can't get it to recognize the play functions. I have updated my bluetooth keyboard firmware but no luck. I have also changed the batteries twice to verify this was not the issue.

    How can I get the reset button to work?: Answer
    Thanks to everyone who helped on this. You are awesome. Especially Ned!!  Posted here because I was unable to add more to the existing post.
    Here is the question:
    When you click on the reset button, this error below comes up. If you can't find the button it is the navy colored rectangular thing in the lower left corner of page.
    ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

    When you click on the reset button, this error below comes up. If you can't find the button it is the navy colored rectangular thing in the lower left corner of page.
      Here is the answer:
    //when you click the reset button everything is removed from the stage
        //except the star, baclground, and reset button (trees and greeting REMOVED)
        public function onClear(Event:MouseEvent):void
                if (tree3) removeChild(tree3);
                if (tree2) removeChild(tree2);
                if (webText) removeChild(webText);
                if (tree) removeChild(tree);
                clickCount = 0;

    This is the answer to what to put in the onclear function.

    Well, if your Home button is broken, you won't be able to reset your phone, and if the Sleep/Wake button won't turn your phone on, it's a trip to the Apple store.

    Hello:
    Thank you for responding so quickly.
    I have added child and it has removed the error. However, the button icon has disappeared as you can see when you play the .swf and the reset button doesn't clear the stage of everything but the star and the back ground.

    I have a new iPhone 4S and want to use a Navigation App to help me find my way around.  If the Mapquest is running and the radio is on, I can't hear the directions.  The only way I could get it to work is to turn Siri on so the nav plays through the car's bluetooth but then you can make a call us use the phone for anything else.  Am I missing something here?

  • How do I get Windows Key/Icon to work again ( Not a keyboard fault - No menu, No apps )

    Had a technical issue with a crashed application, so tried a rollback to a stable point in time. Went OK and solved the problem I had, but absolutely screwed up Windows 10.
    Pressing the windows key does nothing. Pressing the start icon does nothing. I can't type in anything in "Search web and windows". If I run something like calculator, it appears and then vanishes before I see anything other than a blank window.
    All the new apps are completely stuffed, but all the normal Windows 10 functions are otherwise fine. I can run control panel ( Can't run update - that's an App ) - I can run command  prompt OK. Programs work fine ( just not apps ). I think a critical
    update is missing and severely screwed things up, but I can't update because that's busted. Anything that's not Windows 7-ish doesn't work anymore - like it doesn't exist.
    Yeah, I know some people will say that's an improvement but too much stuff needs the new system and I want it all back - :( How do I fix it without a complete system rebuild?
    Thanks
    David

    .......... I think a critical update is missing and severely screwed things up, but I can't update because that's busted. ..............
    To do Windows Updates without Start Menu, try this method given by Insider Hub:
    To check for updates without the Start menu, do the following:
    Select the Internet Explorer icon.
    Type http://update.microsoft.com into the address bar and select
    Enter.
    If you are prompted to run a control, click
    Yes.
    This should bring up the Check for updates window. Install updates.
    If no update is available, or the available updates don’t fix the issue, restart the device–this should make the Start menu appear. To reboot without using the Start menu:
    Hold down the Windows key and select L to lock the device. Swipe up or select
    Enter to open the sign in screen. Select the
    Power icon on the log in screen to restart the computer.            
    OR
    Hold down the Windows key and select R to bring up a command prompt. In the prompt, type
    shutdown –r to restart
    If that does not work, perhaps a reinstall is in order.

  • How do i get air play to work from my macbook to apple tv

    How do i get air play to work from my macbook to apple tv? It does work with some programs like itunes but I can't get it to work with safari.

    apple tv does not work in safari. there is no web browsing capabilities on the apple tv..
    however what you are probably referring to is mirroring? iPad 2 and iPhone 4s have mirroring capabilities, so what you have on the screen is exactly what would appear in the apple tv..
    on ipad for example...ignore the settings page. Instead, go to the iPod controls. Double-press your home button to see the multitasking bar, showing all your recent apps. Swipe your finger from right to left for the mirroring icon; you'll see the AirPlay icon. Tap on that, select your Apple TV and toggle the mirror button to 'on'.

    Hmmm... Submit button doesn't need a double click at all. Maybe you are talking about the two-step process? When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?

    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.

    I have same problem.
    However, I am unable to turn on Assistive Touch.
    At one time I was able to activate it, but it went away and now I cant reactivate.
    What is the solution?
