I purchased a new Apple Keyboard and now the controls for the top row (the f1,f2, f3, etc...) will not function properly.

I cannot use expose, itunes controls, or anything. When I hit the controls for itunes, it activates either expose or the dashboard or something else. I can deactivate this in system settings under the keyboard controls, and I can even rebind the keys in there, however there seems to be no way for me to get my audio controls to work. How do I get skip, play/pause, mute, and volume controls to work again? I can't find anywhere I can go to bind the f-whatever keys to those functions again. This is very frustrating as I constantly use these audio controls.

I guess you have been to System Pres -> Keyboard? Use this to see if it changes:

Purchased a new Apple TV and the remote double clicks each time I press the button. It worked fine during set up and for the first two days. I have since moved it and this problem started. Restarted,reset,unplugged,change remotes, no change.Help please.

Purchased a new Apple TV and the remote double clicks each time I press the button. It worked fine during set up and for the first two days. I have since moved it and this problem started. Restarted,reset,unplugged,changed remotes, no change. Latest software update. This is really annoying. iPhone remote app works just fine. Any suggestions?

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

I have a nano and want to transfer my music from it to my new iPad. Unfortunately upon the excitement of setting up my new iPad I created a new apple Id and now cannot sync. Can I do it another way. Step by step pls I'm technologically challenged!

I have a nano and want to transfer my music to my new iPad, in all the excitement of setting up my iPad I created a new apple Id and now I can't sync my music!
Can someone please advise if there is a way to transfer my music to my iPad manually? If so, please detail step by step, as I am technologically challenged! Thanks in anticipation.

You can search within your music folder on your pc, or within documents folder for a music folder.
In any case, you would need to sync with itunes

If the music was purchased from the itunes store, you can also download it directly from there to the ipad.

New Apple Keyboard and iPhoto 08.

It seems that when you install the new Apple Keyboard and download and install the Apple Keyboard update ver 1.1, it breaks iPhoto 08. What I am saying is that it will not let you rename any of your events! I installed it on my MacPro and it happened, then I went to my MacBook and installed the keyboard and the update and the same thing happened!
Anyone else having this problem?

The Fix!
Go to the Finder, go to Macintosh HD, go to the folder called Library, go to the folder called Caches, look for a folder called com.apple.ATS usually the first folder, drag it to the trash. The computer will then ask you for your password and then restart your computer and all wii be fixed!

I cannot access my old email address anymore, however I have used it for my apple ID and now I want to delete it because the account has never been verified in the first place so my password for it doesn't work. What do I do?

I cannot access my old email address anymore, however I have used it for my apple ID and now I want to delete it because the account has never been verified in the first place so my password for it doesn't work. So when I want to download apps I have to sign in with apple id but I can't so I made a new one, However I can't seem to be able to delete the old one. What do I do?

You can't merge Apple IDs. You also can't cancel (delete) and existing ID, you can only choose to stop using it.
If your old ID was compromised and you can no longer access it, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then then 'Apple ID account Security’.

Good day BenithaK,
Once you have changed your Apple ID, you need to set it up for use in the various systems such as iTunes, the App Store, etc so it can be used as intended. This article shows how to do that -

To change your iTunes billing information for either Apple ID account, follow the directions in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

My iphone will not recognize any usb cables. I have tried 3 official apple ones and 2 different plugs. Ive tried plugging it into my laptop but will not find the phone. it has had problems since i updated my ios. Battery has been replaced.

I have tried 3 official apple ones and 2 different plugs. Ive tried plugging it into my laptop but will not find the phone. it has had problems since i updated my ios. Battery has been replaced. Any suggestions would be fantastic

test if it charges with an ac charger
test if it's detected by another computer
if it's no to both then likely the connector is broken
if it's yes to both thne it's likely your computers itunes install which is the problem

Startup keys with new Apple Keyboard and MacBook Pro

Upon powering up my Rev. A MBP, I hold down the OPTION key on the new Apple Keyboard to select my startup disk. Strangely, the startup went straight into the default startup disk that I have chosen previously. I didn't get to selection stage.
I tried with the old/white Apple Keyboard and my MBP keyboard and startup disk selector is A-Okay.
I hooked up the new keyboard to my new Mac mini and did the same thing and no problem.
Haven't tried with the rest of the startup keys like C or X yet with the MBP. Wonder is this a software bug between the MBP and keyboard.
Anyone with similar experience?

Actually, startup keys sequences do work with the Apple Wireless Keyboard (the old white one). I know because I have been using it that way with my Macs, PPC and Intel ones.
I tried Command-V, Command-S, Option, T, C and Shift on the new keyboard with my Rev. A MBP and it goes go straight into the Apple logo.
Swapped back to the old Apple Keyboard with my MBP and tried the keys above and no problems whatever so.
Hooked up the new Apple Keyboard to my new Mac mini and did the same keys without problems.
So, my conclusion is there something between the new keyboard and Rev. A MBP. Maybe someone with similar setup should try wha I did and see if they face the same issues.

New Apple keyboard and the keyboard shortcut tab in prefpane ?

Hi.
So I bought a new Apple "slim" kayboard, I'm pretty happy with it. The only thing I don't get is that I can't access the "keyboard shortcut" tab in the Keyboard and mouse prefpane.
When I click it, the tab turns grey but I can't enter.
Is it normal?
ps. of course I didn't the keyboard software update.
Thanks

That's really strange. Are you sure this has to do with the keyboard? Does it misbehave even after restarting the compter? If you remove the keyboard and plug in your old one instead, does this area of System Preferences work normally again?

New Apple Keyboard and Insert Key

I'm using the new Apple Keyboard (http://www.apple.com/keyboard/) and I'm quite happy with it. The only big disadvantage is the missing Insert-Key, the Apple Keyboard has a function (fn) Key, where the insert-key is normally located. I need the insert-key especially for selecting in midnight commander. What would be the best way to remap the insert-key to the fn-key for console and X-Windows?

Here are some relevant other threads:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56619
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=55482
These are just threads I've participated in; I'm sure there are more. The bottom line is: check with showkey (in the Linux console) or xev (in X) to see how the fn key is getting recognized. If it's working just like another key on the keyboard, e.g., like space or shift, then you can remap it the same way you'd remap any key. (The process is different for Linux console than for X.) But most likely it's not working just like another key on the keyboard, in which case it will be difficult/impossible to remap it to insert. However, you could always choose another key, or key combination, to remap to insert. Perhaps even a key combination of the form fn+KEY. The kernel won't recognize fn as a modifier like shift or control, but it should recognize SOME fn+KEY combinations as being SOME keyboard keys. For example, on my keyboard fn+left arrow is recognized as Home. I think that as far as the kernel and all the key-remapping tools can tell, I only pressed Home on my keyboard not any combination including left arrow.

My iTunes is accessed with an old email address. I have just created a new apple ID and now want to change my iTunes account to reference this- how do I do it?

Arghh!! I am literally about to throw my new iPad out of a window - apple is driving me beyond crazy. I have an old iTunes account to which all my music is saved. I have just created a new apple id and want that to be the one that my iTunes account references - it won't let me change my old email to this as it says my new apple I'd is sychd to another account. How do I do it? Am desperate!

Delete them and then download them from the desired Apple ID. This may require repurchasing paid applications.

New Apple Keyboards and G5

I have just purchased one of the new auminium keyboards. The special features ie for Dashboard expose - sound etc. Apple support told me these new features only supported on the new iMacs. This is not stated in apple's marketing material for these keyboards. Is this the case or is it it bug or fix needed. Still a nice keyboard though

Apple support told me these new features only supported on the new iMacs.
What a load of tosh! Strange that you're having problems though - the 'special' buttons are all working fine for me with the 1.1 update..
My problem is that the G5 doesn't always see the new keyboard (or mouse) at startup, & it takes unplugging/re-connecting the usb 2 or 3 times (whilst the G5's powered up & waiting at the login-screen) before the devices are finally recognised by the Mac.
What about you guys on this point?
Thanks,
Jason

I created a new Apple ID and now my iphone won't learn it /update itself.

Hello everyone.
I recently created a new Apple ID (new passwort, new mail adress etc) and now my iphone does not want to update itself and "learn" the new one.
When I want to download apps etc a popup appears, asking me for verification in terms of typing in the password, but still with my old ID.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks

Settings>iTunes/App Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...now sign back in with your new ID. You'll have to delete your old iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then setup again with your new ID.

I purchased a new Apple Keyboard and now the controls for the top row (the f1,f2, f3, etc...) will not function properly.
