Keyboard volume control does not work

I have an iMac G5, running OS 10.5.8, and a new Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad. My keyboard volume control does not work. Any have ideas as to why ? (I have a similar set-up at work with no volume problems.)

Try system prefs/keyboard/keyboard/ and uncheck Use all F1, F2 etc as standard function keys.
Other wise the volume and brightness controls will only work if you hold down the function key first (fn)

  • My Bose SIE2i volume control does not work. (pause/play does work). This is the secone set - the apple store in Sydney replaced the firsat set that had the same problem. It was working OK and has stopped.

    My Bose SIE2i volume control does not work. (pause/play does work). This is the second set - the apple store in Sydney replaced the first set that had the same problem. It was working OK and has stopped.

    Thanks again V.K. I did check the layout, and it was listed as alphabet when I inputted the password. So that doesn't seems to the the issue.
    Just finished a truly mystifying experiment, but I put in a shorter password in the way mentioned earlier and it worked. I then systematically kept increasing the characters of that password and it seems that if the password starts to exceed about 16, it stops recognizing it. I am fairly sure it is not the password itself since it never gives an error when typing in the verification password. So unless I systematically make the exact mistake twice at the setup screen, and then don't or make a different mistake every time at the login screen, I don't think its my typing skill.
    So problem solved for now, but I am still a bit worried. Maybe I should completely reinstall and use a shorter password.
    Is there supposed to be a length limit?

  • MenuBar volume control does not work

    itunes volume control DOES control the volume of my external speakers which are attached to a ProSonus FireBox.
    Website links with controls of audio DO control the volume of my external speakers which are attached to a ProSonus FireBox
    However, the main Mac MenuBar sound control slide bar does not control the sound itunes or these websites AND the MenuBar sound control slide bar does not control either my internal or external speakers.
    Sound Control panel Input Panel is set at the PreSonus FireBox (0260) device with mic setttings at mid level and the master output volume set about 1.5 units up with "show volume in menu bar" box checked and Mute box clear of checkmarks.
    The Sound Control Panel Output panel is set at Presonus FireBox (0260) with the master output volume set at 1.5 units with "show show volume in menu bar" box checked and Mute box clear of checkmarks. Controlling the slider from the Sound Control Panel DOES control the slider in the Mac MenuBar but not the sound.
    The fact that sound is coming out of the firebox indicates sound from itunes and web site sound links IS being redirected from the internal speakers to the firebox and then the firebox is redirecting the sound to the external speakers.
    However, the volume control at the mac is not sending out a lower
    signal to the firebox or the firebox is not responding to the lower signal or something else has control over the volume control.
    There are two clues. The volume control of itunes DOES work and the manual control of the Firebox is working.
    Another interesting observation is that the "Sound Effects" panel of the Sound Control Panel does appear to work correctly; the alerts are supposed to work through the internal speakers (as the drop down list box is selected that way) and the Master volume does limit the alert volume. But I find it interresting that the Master volume is coupled to the internal speakers when the Master Volume should be coupled to the firebox (and then through to the external speaakers).

    Hi stoye-
    You cannot control the volume of the digital signal. The presonus converts the digital signal to analog and the volume control is done there.

  • Brightness control does not work with the bluetooth keyboard connected on my iPad2. Please someone could help me ?

    Brightness control does not work with the bluetooth keyboard connected on my iPad2. Please someone could help me ?

    I have the Apple MC184LL/A Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard.  The brigtness control works with mine, as do most of the other functions.
    Try cycling the keyboard off and on.  Hold the power button until the green LED goes out.  Then press it one more time to turn it back on.
    You might try resetting the iPad's network.  Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings.  Then you may need to reconnect your WiFi and Bluetooth.
    If that doesn't help, try resetting/rebooting the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart in a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • Mission Control does not work!!!!!!!!

    Hi all,
    I have recently Reformatted my mac and made it into 1 partition of 500gb just to run mac os x. I did it with the discs the laptop came with.
    After OSx install was complete, I ran the os x lion downloaded from the app store and installed it too. After completely updating the system with software updates and my other software like ms office, vlc, flash, iLife etc.
    I have found that the mission control does not work sometimes. It allows you to swipe from screen to screen but when when you swipe up.. It hides the top apple bar but nothing else happens.. Everything else is fine so far.
    When I turn my mac on. If it gets stuck the only way to make it work again is to restart. Which is a bit annoying.. Plz tell me if it's a bug or something.
    If that happens to someone else as well?
    Thanks

  • 2002 G3 600 mhz iMac display stays dim with an unidentified sign displayed.  The contrast control does not work.

    My display screen is dim and the contrast control does not work.  There is a sign on the screen that I have been unable to identify.  It is a white circle outline with a half moon solid circle within it.  Does anyone know what's wrong?

    Did you reset the PRAM? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 And the pram battery may need to be replaced if it is over 3 years old it is under the iMac under the ram cover and there is a little button in there to reset the pmu as well. you have to have it pluged in when you do a pmu reset. there is a lot more stuff to try before the worst case scenario that is a bad PAV board the Pav is what runs the monitor and if it is going bad That may be a syptom that it is haveing and they can not be fixed (Well not for under $250 and that is useing old parts because they do not make them any more) but that wood be worst case scenario. Lets just hope it just needs to be reset Try that and Keep us posted

  • Ipad Keyboard volume controls don't work?

    When I have headphones plugged in to the jack on the keyboard the volume controls don't work. If I plug them in to the jack on the Ipad then the volume controls work. Known bug? Defective unit?
    Any help appreciated.

    The keyboard controls, but nevermind. I found out they're not supposed to work on the aux jack on the back of the keyboard. Guess I should RTFM
    Thanks anyway, everyone!

    2 - delete iPhoto's cache folder(s):

  • Aluminum keyboard eject button does not work on Windows XP

    I'm wondering if anyone else has the same issue:
    the eject disk button on my new aluminum keyboard does not work in Windows XP (Boot Camp).
    As I have a Mac Pro, there is no way of manually opening and closing the tray-loading Superdrive.
    I can open the drive if I right-click "My Computer>DVD drive>Eject" but there is no way of closing it back. I am obviously not a Windows XP expert, are there ways of mapping the eject function to any key?

    Actually, how does Software Update figure out what apps you have available for update?
    I always thought that Software Update looks at your /Library/Receipts to check what Apple pkgs you have for update, so I assumed that any Apple-related Pkg would be updated. I may be totally wrong on this, correct me if that is so...but thanks for the info.

  • Apple TV messed up Macbook Pro, Keyboard volume controls won't work.

    I can't get my Keyboard Volume controls to work on my macbook pro, Apple TV messed it up. This isn't an issue with disabling the remote control infrared receiver. When I want to turn my volume up or down, I have to go to system prefrences and change the volume that way. It's annoying and a big waste of time. Please help me before I throw this computer against the wall.
    Thank You!!

    I've got an extremely similar problem. Spillage on the keyboard. Unknown, what it was.
    To start with it was dead, no power up.
    Then it dried out. There was still a bit of battery power left, and the mouse and track pad worked for a few minutes then it all froze.
    So I shut the lid. I left it like that, because I couldnt switch it off.
    Much later, opened it up again and all windows opened up, all info was correct,
    I was advised to try wireless mouse and keyboard, but you have to get in there before it freezes again.
    The battery was charging normally as well.
    I made the decision to let the battery die completely and then switch it on again, but sure enough when I did this, it ignored any re-boot command and that's that. Dead as a do-do.
    So, without being a computer whizz kid, I presume, it's off to the Apple store for a sizeable bill.
    Unless someone else has a cunning plan ????????
    I would love to hear it !!!!!!
