I bought a new keyboard for my iMac (10.5) but the f1,f2,f3, etc. buttons don't work. Rather, f14 is the adjustment for brightness. How do I change it back to normal?

Certain older Macs can't use later version Apple keyboards.
Various aluminum models were compatible with later model
G5 PowerMac and iMac, while the older could only use older
model keyboards. Third party USB keyboards from a variety
of makers other than Apple may work OK.
Be sure the Mac OS X is updated to the last Combo and
then see if there is any other software update is available.
Not sure now (years have gone by) if there was a firmware
update applicable to the older Macs so they could use later
metal keyboards. I'd found several white USB polycarbonate
Apple keyboards to work with most of the last PPC Macs;
and bought spares as available, metal / newer didn't work
with mine. Several white plastic ones can work w/ intelmac.
There were keyboard model numbers (Apple) noted to work
with aluminum PowerMac G5, while others that look other-
wise identical (except number on keyboard) did not work...
Too new, and they weren't supported. Worked w/Intel-Mac.
Good luck & happy computing!

IMAC OSX 10.7.4 Safari why does screen suddenly change to large print etc when I cam surfing the net and how do I change it back to normal size

Safari - Since changing from Leopard to OSX when surfing the net, my screen suddenly changes to large print/icons etc. How do I change it back to normal. It is driving me crazy

That's caused by the "Smart zoom" feature of the magic mouse. It's a Double tap with one finger to zoom and repeat to unzoom.
You can turn the feature off if desired in System Preferences > Mouse > Point & Click tab

When I am looking at a direct image (Example: an imgur link) the picture is centered and on a dark grey page after I updated to FF 11.0. How can I change this back to normal?

As the title suggests since updating whenever I visit a direct image link the page turns dark grey and the image is centered.

This is awful and I would appreciate any help in reverting whatever got changed.
Thanks!

That is a new feature in Firefox 11+ added by this stylesheet:
* resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css
You can look at this extension.
* Old Default Image Style: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/old-default-image-style/

Every site I go to has all white background, how do I change it back to normal?

I've lost the colors of all the web sites I go to each day. Now all sites have solid white background.
I might have change something somewhere in the controls but i have no idea what it was.
thank you for you help

Are all the other page styles intact, it's just the background color has changed, or is the layout pretty much stripped of style?
To make sure that Firefox is set to let sites choose their own colors, you can review this setting:
Mac: "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences > Content
Win: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content
Click the "Colors" button and make sure the box is checked to "Allow pages to choose their own colors"
Then OK back to the page and, if necessary, reload.
Does that fix it?

HT4623 Tried updating my daughters iPod touch, it turned itself off and when turned on just says iTunes with a picture of a white lead. It won't let me do anything else and I don't have a computer to link it to. How do I get it back to normal?

Tried updating my daughters iPod touch and it just turned off. It now has a picture of a white lead and says iTunes. I don't have a computer to connect it to and just want it back to normal as it will not do anything. Can anyone help me?

You need to
Connect the iPod to a computer with iTunes and an internet connection and restore via iTunes
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My screen picture has a negative look to it. How do I change it back to normal? I think I brushed some keys at the same time

Can someone please help me? My screen has a "negative" look to it because I think I brushed some keys w/my fingers at the same time & made it change & I don't know how to change it back & I've tried looking everywhere but can't find anything that shows me how to change it back. I also have Windows Parallels (a Virtual Machine) & it's doing the same thing on the Parallels side, too.

Try ctrl + opt + cmd + 8

I put my phone in my pocket and something got pushed that made the icons larger how do I change it back to normal?

Does anyone know what I need to return my icons to regular size c

Try double tapping the screen with three fingers to return to normal. Than go to settings> general> accessibility> zoom> off.

In v3.x clicking my programmed "close" mouse button closed only active tab, in v4 it closes entire program, how do I change it back?

One feature I loved in Firefox v3.6 was closing tabs with a programmed mouse button. My Microsoft Intellimouse has a button that I programmed for the "Close" command. In 3.6, clicking this button would only close the active tab I was on. This made for fast opening and closing of tabs. It's the main feature that made me ignore all other browsers actually.
Now I got updated to v4. And now, clicking my mouse's Close button closes out the Firefox window completely, just as though I'd clicked the window close "X" in the upper right.
How can I get it back to the way it was in 3.6?

I have the same problem with a Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000.
The problem with the mapped close button closing the program, instead of tabs, only happens in Firefox 4.0.
The close button works correctly with Chrome 10, IE8 and Firefox 3.X.

You don't seem to understand. Please read my question. I cannot use anything in FireFox until I accept the demand of the AOL dialog:
WARNING - BROWSER SETTINGS
Another program (that would be me using Google to restore my original settings) has changed your homepage and search settings( from the unwanted AOL hijack). Would you like to keep (HAH) your previous settings (i.e. the hijack - NO!)
KEEP AOL.COM AND AOL SEARCH (option box)
ENABLE AOL HOMEPAGE PROTECTION
There are no other options, no opt-out, and I cannot use Firefox until I allow this hijack. IIf I try to click any FireFox function, it just dings - I can't even close the window, have to do it thru Task Manager. I am writing to you thru Chrome now because I cannot use Firefox.

The font on my browser (not web pages but where I type the URL, my bookmarks, etc.) was set to something fancy by my predecessor and I would like to change it back to something normal. Help!

The tabs for my bookmarks, the url bar, the loading messages.. all are in this fancy script and it's impossible to read quickly.

Another possibility is they added some code to a file called userChrome.css to change the fonts.
First you need to locate the profile folder, for details of how to find it see the [[profiles]] article. Once you have opened the profile folder you can close Firefox. Inside the profile folder there should be a sub folder called chrome, open that folder.
If there is a file inside there called userChrome.css, rename it to userChrome.css.old, now restart Firefox to see if the fonts are back to the default fonts.

The genius bar did something to "enhance" my view screen. It left me with minimally viewable tool bars and views too small to read. HOW do I change it back to normal?

The tool bars are minimal, very small hard to see. The view screen on my MacBook Pro 17" leaves a lot of open space around what I'm viewing. I want it to fill the screen. In the present mode, you would never know I was working with a 12pt font, and you have to get on top of the computer to view the tool bars well.
Recent upgrade to Mountain Lion. No issues there, just need more discovery. Susan

Try:
System Preferences > Displays > ...
... and set the reolution back to the maximum.

Color scheme changed on my ipod touch how do i change it back to normal?

I was listening to my ipod touch, when i went to unlock my ipod the color scheme (color effect) changed (by itself), Now instead of being the normal color it has like a multicolor color effect. Someone PLEASE HELP!!!

Unfortunately, if I told you, I'd be giving a hint of how to allow someone to illegally copy music from someone else's iPod to their machine. There is a reason why it is blocked. And no, you don't have to erase the iPod. I would request the techs give you help in doing that. If they don't, ask other techs.
