HT3399 volume button doesn't work

I don't know how but it looks like my funcion keys are disabled.  How do i turn them back on?  This is for a mac computer i have at work, i don't know if it's tiger, leopard or snow leapard.  pls advise.

OS numbers and names
OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
OS X 10.7.x - Lion
OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion

The Apple History site has specifications for every Mac ever produced: http://www.apple-history.com/
Upgrade to Leopard
Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive unless you contact Apple. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
Upgrade beyond Leopard
OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt check this: Click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
Upgrade beyond Snow Leopard
Information about upgrading Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256Z/A
Important
Check that your Mac complies with any requirements. If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of Apple pages.

    How to disable safe mode on xperia z1,power and volume button doesn't work

    Hi rafharum,
    Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    A simple restart to the device would generally resolve this issue, however if the power key and Volume key are not working they may very well be causing the handset to execute safemode when ever you power the device on.
    If this is the case, you will need to get the handset to a service agent for assessment. Please use the link below to contact Sony Mobile Customer Care directly.

  • The down volume buttons doesn't work on my iPhone

    My down volume button doesn't not work on my iPhone 5. What can I do to fix it

    Thanks, daniel.early79!
    I have an iPhone5 bought in late Dec 2012.
    I've noticed on rare occassions that the volume down button some times would not respond.
    Starting yesterday, the volume down button would not respond more consistently.
    Sometimes a reset would fix it, sometimes a reset network would fix it, but the problem would come back.
    Came across this thread, and pressing gently on the upper right hand corner fixed it!
    I remember seeing some video on Youtube or iFixit that shows how to replace the power button. It appears that the volume buttons and the power buttons are tied in together on the same piece of connector. I supposed taking the iphone in and out of cases may have warped or twisted the connector inside the case ever so slightly that the sensor for the down volume button got shifted.
    The down volume button works now, after doing the trick you suggested. I'll wait and see if it comes back before taking it in for warranty repair.

  • Volume button doesn't work in locked mode on iphone5

    iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.2
    The volume buttons don't work when my phone is locked however they do work when my phone is unlocked.

    Yes, that's the way it works on my 4 and 5s as well. Did you have a question?

  • My down volume button doesn't work. How can I fix it?

    When I press the down volume button on my iPad 2 it doesn't work. It was working last night but not this morning. I didn't drop it or anything. I just got my iPad not even a year ago. How can I fix my down volume button?

    Well if you restore your iPad that might work. If its a software issue, it might solve it. If that doesn't work, it might be a hardware issue that apple can fix.

  • IPhone volume button doesn't work?

    The increase volume button on the side of my iPhone 4 doesn't work. Now my phone vibrates, but I never hear it ring. Any solutions?

  • My low volume button doesn't work on my Iphone 4, how can I fix it?

    Okay so I dropped my iphone in the parking lot garages of my apartment complex and the ground was cement, when i picked it up the screen wasn't cracked or anything so i thought it was okay but once i started listening to music and I wanted to lower the volume and so I pushed the low volume button but nothing happen....The high volume button works fine but now the low volume button so if you want to lower the volume on my phone now you have to do it manually....Also after the drop i turned off silent mode on the side and the clicking sound wasn't there and I checked in the settings, it said it was on and the volume was on but I heard no clicking sound!!! How can I solve these two problems? Can I go to an Apple Store and let them fix my iphone if I don't have AppleCare?

    Hi there Jaz94,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • Up Volume button doesn't work!

    Hello,
        Recently I dropped my BB into the river while fishing.   I dried it out and everything still works except the UP Volume button.  Does anyone know of an app that can control the volume using the touch screen or the keyboard?  I've searched all over and found nothing.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    From your description, I cannot tell if you fully performed all of this process...therefore:
    REMOVE YOUR BB BATTERY NOW!!!
    Run, don't walk, to this FAQ:
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Got_Your_BlackBerry_Wet%3F
    Do everything it says, including waiting the maximum recommended time. Applying power to your BB between it getting wet and doing this process reduces the chances of success. Further, the only thing predictable about moisture intrusion into a BB (indeed, any electronic device) is that the results will be unpredictable. I've seen some come back up right away and be fine. I've seen others never work at all. I've seen still others run for a bit, and then die later. And every thing in between.
    Good luck!

  • Phone Volume buttons doesn't work when you receive a call while listening to music

    It is surprising to see such a silly and annoying bug. I was listening to music at high volume. Then received a call when the phone was unlocked and on music player. Now the fun started. I cannot reduce the volume by the outside volume buttons where as the volume of voice stays same. Very annoying dis-pleasurable experience. Don't know if it is common on other iPhones but it happened consistently on iPhone6+.
    Workaround - If we lock the phone and use the volume buttons then it reduces and increases sound successfully.

    The point I am referring to is already when I picked the call the controls didn't switch to Phone App. The whole time Phone app is active on the screen volume is not reducing at all. Quirk of the system - there is no soft volume control on the phone app hence user has to use the Hardware side buttons only. When phone app is in focus and in control the volume controls should work. This is definitely a major bug.

  • Can't lower voice memo volume. My decrease button doesn't work anymore. Any other way i can lower it without disabling speaker

    Own an iphone 5. Can't control voice memo volume from anywhere that deals with volume on my phone. My decrease button doesn't work. I have to listen to my voice memos on full blown volume. Can't lower it from settings or from music. Help please!

    Hi,
    thanks for your answer. 
    The Size of all disks is: 6 x 4 TB.
    In the Pool are 5 x 4 TB plus 1 x Hot Spare. 
    It comes up to about 14,6 TB of Data formatable.
    But tried it also with just 3 x 4 TB to see if it works. 
    I just made a Raid5EE on the controller and then used Storage Spaces with simple, all worked fine. 
    Here the results of my tests: 
    1) your command had to be modified (typoe in usemaximumsize, and had to add -ResiliencySettingName Parity. 
    new-virtualdisk -friendlyname testpsh -storagepoolfriendlyname test -ResiliencySettingName Parity -usemaximumsize
    But anyway, my problem is not creating the virtual disk, but formatting the partition if it's parity only. 
    I added a screenshot: 
    Here you see my storage pool, and I added 3 virtual disk. 
    1 simple, 1 mirror, 1 parity. Only the parity cannot be formatted. The others can. No mather which size I do. 
    About a testserver, I added 4 x 4 TB to a VM (VHDX-files) and could do parity without problems. So it seems it is this server specific.
    As it worked with another controller, I really wonder if the controller could break parity of Storage Pools?
    The other weird part is, it sais "Raid" as BUS, but it's set to pass through, in details I see the serial of the attached HDD. 
    This is what properties shows on this volume. Always RAW. 
    I also tried Software Raid5 within the server. 
    This also worked fine. So really only parity. 
    Thanks
    Patrick

  • Volume and Power button doesn't work..how do I fix?

    My son's volume buttons or the power button doesn't work.  Is there something I can do to fix these issues?

    Try the following to rule out a software problem.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Satellite U500 - The volume buttons do not work

    Hello
    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite U500 two days ago, and already having problems :(
    It has a touch sensitive control buttons, which includes the eco utility, media buttons, and volume control (+ and -)
    The volume buttons do not work, and sometimes the computer freezes upon touching them. Once I touch the -, it keeps turning the volume down until it reaches zero, and even if I turn it up using windows, it returns to zero (like if the button is still being pressed). The + one doesn't work at all.
    Please help. Any way to reinstalle their drivers ?
    The only solution I found is to disable them using HWSetup...

    Solved.
    I just had to uninstall the Toshiba Common Modules, and reinstalled them. It worked.
    I hope it doesn't happen again.

  • Help my ipod (touch) lock button doesn't work

    my  iPod lock button doesn't usualy work only like 40 times then stops
    also the volume buttons don't work at the same time  any help |
    Thanks in advanceLogan0916

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
