I had to get a new keyboard and now the keys in the upper row are not working appropriately. How can I fix this problem?

My keyboard stopped working so I went to the apple store to replace it with another one. Now I am back home and the keys at the very top are not working correctly (volumn  F12 shows the dashboard, F11 takes the screen up and away, F8 pause button shows spaces, etc.). What should I do to correct this problem - I assume I probably need to download some type of softwear but what? I have a Mac OS X  Version 10.5.8 desktop - 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

All new keyboards need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and above for full functionality.
Rather short-sighted of Apple perhaps, but that seems to be a trend these days.
I'm afraid the only fix is to upgrade to SL. Personaly, I'd take it back and get a refund and seek an older keyboard or a third-party one elsewhere.

    Bad juju not having a bootable backup that you can revert back to when you run into these kinds of issues. Get a bootable, external HD, and make a bootable backup/clone before updating/upgrading and ensure that it's bootable and works like the original. See these for details:

    Back to your issue. Boot with the Leopard install disk, select your language, select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu, and repair the disk and permissions. Report back.

  • For some reason when I plug my ipod into my comp itunes freezes but my ipod says it is plugged and when I plug it into a different comp it works. How can I fix this?

    Setesh, See if both computer has the same version of iTunes, if both are the same, then it is your PC, that has plug-ins which is in conflict it iTunes. ( normally it is the Antivirus or some plug-ins to beautify your screen)
    If it is different, most likely the other PC has an older version of iTunes, so you should downgrade your iTunes to that older version, which your iPod interface well with.
    Other probable causes,
    you are using the USB 1.1 port at the front of your PC, and not the USB2,0 port at the back of your PC. so switch to the back.
    Dont use any other USB devices, when you are syncing the iPod.
    Dont use any USH Hub.

  • My ipod classic has started making a mewing sound and all it does is scroll through the songs.  It will not play except when connected to my computer.  I tried resyncing and that did not work. How do I fix this problem?

    My ipod classic has started making a mewling sound and all it does is scroll through the songs.  It does not play on my Bose sound dock or through earbuds.  It will play when connected to the computer...but that makes it hard to take it on a walk with me   I thought it might be a synching problem so tried that--still doesn't work.  How do I fix this problem with out restoring it to the factory setting?  I do not want to lose all my music content as some of it I cannot replace easily.  Please help with suggestions and advice. Thanks.  Karen in GA

    Have you recharge your iPod for at least 2 hours, preferably till the Full charge Battery symbol comes ON.?

  • When I am listening to music on my iPod Touch 5th gen and it is locked I try to double click the home button to bring up the music controls, but it does not work. How can I fix this?

    So, I locked my iPod while listening to music, then pressed to home button to turn it back on, then I pressed it again twice to bring up the music controls so I could pause the song. The music controls came up, but they didn't control the song I was listening to, also the album artwork wasn't showing. How can I fix this?

    Hello,
    I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10sec. or until Apple logo appears (Nothing will be lost, this is just a "Hard Reset")
    Hope that helps!
    If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
    Cheers!

  • My iphone 4 is disabled for 22 million minutes and the recovery mode does not work? How can I fix this?

    I have tried to do the standard recovery mode where you hold down the home button and plug in the USB but Itunes is not recoginizing the phone. How can I fix this issue?

    Hello there, Itraziel.
    Thanks for providing further clarification on your issue. The following Knowledge Base articles offer up some assistance depending on which Operating System your computer is running:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    or
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
    If you are still unable to restore the iPhone, this article may provide some more information:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    Use recovery mode
    Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
    Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
    Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
    Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
    When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
    iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    Use iTunes to restore your device.
    Thanks again for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • I can get to my escoinst website, but firefox keeps kicking me off it after about 15 minutes; how can I fix this problem?

    I use escoinst.com for practice tests for epa classes, but firefox boots me off the site after about 15 minutes. I need to stay on this site for an average of 30 minutes. How can I remedy this problem?

    I just did the about:config....I do not have dom.ip.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll; I do have dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.np2pstub.dll;false. Also, my timeoutSecs is set at 45. I also noticed that a few of the things are listed as userset and the others are default. What should they be? I don't recall setting anything.
    Thanks for any help in resolving this 5 month very frustrating issue.

  • My Firefox can no longer open new tabs. I click the icon but it does not work. How can I fix this?

    The "+" icon that opens new tabs does not open a tab.

    With Firefox version 4 and 5, the default setting is ''not'' to ask the question for saving the session. You can get back that behavior by modifying the options as below:<BR><BR>
    # In the address bar, type '''about:config''' and press Enter.
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of options.
    # In the '''Filter''' textbox at the top, type '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose'''
    # You will be presented with the entry for '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose'''. If its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''.
    # Repeat these steps for options''' browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning''' and set their values to '''true'''.

  • My iPhone 4 is stuck in the update screen and my lock button is not working. How can I fix this?

    I just tried to update my iPhone 4 to 7.1 and for some strange reason the phone wouldn't update then wanted me  to restore it... (Figures!) But my lock button no longer works so holding the home button and the lock button is a option I have to rule out. I have no way to repair my phone myself. What can I do?

    Hello Edward
    Follow the prompts on your iPhone and you will get either at your home screen like normal or get to a point of restoring from back up. The article below will give step by step for restoring from back up.

    Hi Scott,
    in SDIXML_DATA_TO_DOM you can only pass the name of root node, so you can not assign attribute xmlns to root node (<Data xmlns="ServiceNet">) ... unless you build the xml document from scratch (without SDIXML_DATA_TO_DOM)
    when using your sample code (without sale) I get xml without <item>
    SDIXML_DATA_TO_DOM => SDIXML_DOM_TO_SCREEN::
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    - <Data>
      <LV_XMINS>xmlns="DUMMY FIELD</LV_XMINS>
      <BATCHDATETIME>2009-11-13T12:05:58</BATCHDATETIME>
      </Data>
