All other keys seen fine, all software up to date Mac OS X Lion 10.7. & iTunes 10.5.3.
Any suggestions on how to fix ?

Hello:
Since everything you have is under warranty, call Applecare for a warranty replacement of the KB.  Apple pays shipping both ways.

    I'm not sure how old it is, but it is covered for 1 full year as long as it didn't take that 19 story dive.

  • Media Keys Not Working - Apple Wireless Keyboard - Snow Leopard 10.6

    Hello, I am a new user to this Support Area and i tried calling but as its Christmas Day i cant get through because there closed so i decided to join here.
    Ok basically my problem is that i have a iMac and i recently installed Snow Leopard and on Christmas Day i got a Wireless Apple Keyboard i set it up all went well and got through all the bluetooth process fine except when i went to try use the Media Keys which are Brightness Up/Down, Volume Control, Play/Pause/FastForward and the other two don't know what there called tho when i press any of them they dont work when i press F12 which has a picture of Volume Up it goes to my Widgets thing and when i press F11 which is Volume Down it moves all the current apps out of the desktop like a clearing space function.
    I Really would like to have the Media Keys back to how there supposed to be i don't know why it is doing this but i think its Snow Leopard.I Have tried everything possible in System Prefs even removed the keyboard from the Bluetooth paired devices and re paired it but still nothing. It would be mostly appreciated if one you guys could help me soon..
    Thanks Sean

    Wow! I am in the exact same situation. I don't think it is Snow Leopard tho b/c when I plug my old keyboard back in the media keys work fine. It might have to do with the apple aluminum keyboard 2.0 update but when I try to download that it says my system is unable to support it (eben tho it only requires at least 10.5.8).
    If you find a solution let me know.

  • Media keys not working with iTunes 12.0.1

    MacBook Pro, 15" Mid-2010
    Software: OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
    iTunes: 12.0.1.26
    Hello, ever since I upgraded to OS X Yosemite/iTunes 12 back in October I have been unable to use the back, forward, and play/pause buttons with music playback on iTunes. I've tried an SMC reset with no luck and I'm not really sure what to look for in keyboard settings that might help. Thanks in advance!

    Howdy PigJiggin,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your function keys on your keyboard are not performing the special feature depicted in the icon, please check your keyboard settings as shown in the article linked to below.

  • Media Keys not working

    For some reason my media keys (play/pause/fwd/rwd) on my aluminiu keyboard have stopped working.
    When I first got the keyboad they didn't work... I installed KeyboardSoftware1.2 and they started working.
    But, I'm not sure when or how, they have stopepd working again.
    All the other keys (Expose, Brightness etc) work fine.
    I have tried reinstalling 10.5.8 combo, repairing permissions, booting in safe mode, repairing disc (from instal dvd), installing and uninstalling sizlingkeys (this allowed me to apply custom settings to other keys, but not to the media keys)....nothing helped!
    I can't reinstall the KeyboardSoftware update... as it thinks itis already installed... I tried to bypass it with Pacifist, and this caused a right mess (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2360985&stqc=true) which I still haven't sorted either.
    Any ideas??
    Cheers

    Well...
    I took the plunge and did a full Archive & Instal (without copying my files/settings over).
    This solved both the Media/Play keys issues... and the weird Save dialogue issue.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2360985&tstart=0
    However, I consider this as a work around, as I never really found out what caused the issues in the first place!
    Oh well....
    The only reason I held off doing the Archive and Install in the first place is because it is quite time consuming, especially with a heavily customised Library folders... and I just didn't want to go through the hassle of reinstalling everything!
    Hmmm... at least it is sorted.
    I guess I should probably get a new graphics card as well due to that error that showed...?

  • Satellite A350-214 media keys not working

    After upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 the feather touch media keys are not working.The bluetooth perpheral device drivers are also missing.Pl help...

    Try downloading the Windows 7 drivers.  You can get them from here:
    http://support.toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows7/download/Satellite_A350_32_cae.htm
    The buttons are controlled by Toshiba Value added software.  There is a bluetooth stack you may need to install.  You may want to add the rest of the windows 7 drivers.  The display and sound drivers will give you additional HDMI support that the native driver does not support.
    Good luck

  • Apple keyboard media keys not working

    Yesturday i was trying to trun down the volume in my itunes off my apple keyboard, when i went to do so nothing happend even with the eject button with the cd nor can I make the screen brighter or darker and the dashboard key is on my play key.

  • Media keys not working MacBook Pro 17"

    Just today my media keys are no longer working to control iTunes (F7 thru F10). I've unable too check the keyboard settings in system preferences because it crashed when I try and open it. I have rebooted twice and repaired permissions.

    I had a eureka moment this morning- Google Play Music basically hijack my media keys. So long as Chrome is open, the keys seem to be wired to the play store (they work normally, skipping, pausing and playing). If I quit Chrome, the keys work as normal with iTunes, opening and moving through the tracks.
    I don't know whether this information helps but it certainly seems to answer my problem.

    Please help to resolve this issue.

    I'm also having extreme problems with Flash. I did the
    uninstaller thing too, I re-booted over & over again & it's
    still not working. I can't view anything that uses Flash!!! It
    shows up as being installed on my computer, but all the websites I
    go to say "you don't have the new version installed-install now."
    There's a link to install, I get the pop up on my toolbar to
    install Active-X, but nothing happens.
    If anyone has new info...please help

  • Razer Lycosa media keys not working iTunes 11.0.1.12

    I recently updated to iTunes 11 from the latest iTunes 10 version. My media keys on my Razer Lyocsa were working prior to then. Does anyone know of a way to get them to work again? I tend to use them to skip/pause songs while midgaming. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit.

  • Airdrop not working between iMac mid 2011 and MBA mid 2013

    Hi everyone,
    This week I bought a MBA 2013 for my girfriend and myself, they see eachother when attempting to use Airdrop, flawlessly transfering files. I have an iMac from mid 2011 which will not see either MacBook AIr over Airdrop. It is quite annoying to say the least. I have read around the posts here and there seems to be little to no support for this problem, which seems to afflict quite a few people.
    They are all on the same network, all have file sharing enabled in system pref. and all of them clearly support Airdrop. I have deleted and re entered my Apple ID info to no avail.
    Does anyone have an answer to this problem? It seems like there are enough people to warrant intervention on Apple's part.
    Looking forward to any and all replies, cheers Pluckaduck

    This article explains:
    Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support
    From one of the Macs looking for the iMac, start AirDrop in Finder and get to the following display:
    Presumably you do not see the iMac, so click the "Don't see who you're looking for" link.  That will display this:
    Press "Search for an Older Mac" and you'll be set!

  • FN -Function- key not working between my Logitech Bluetooth keyboard and my ipad2; any suggestions?

    My new Bluetooth keyboard -Logitech- features a Function FN key that's not working, even though the rest of the letter, #s and signs are. Thank you for looking into it!

    Here we go again!  The return key on my iPad stopped working again.
    I don't think I posted more information here but on the Logitech site.  Basically, rather than go through all the steps of resetting the iPad, I used canned air to blow out under the return key.  I had to lift the key a bit with a pen knife to get better air flow.  I think I've done this twice.
    Well, this morning the return key stopped working as well as the |\ key.  I sprayed and sprayed with no success.  This  time I had no system upgrade: just one day working and the next not.
    This time I tried another trick that will be cumbersome.  I used the wireless keyboard from my wife's iMac.  The bad news is that the pairing wouldn't hold.  I finally figured out that the Apple wireless keyboard was still listed on the iMac.  Once I unpaired the keyboard from the iMac I was able to pair it with my iPad.
    The return key and  the |\ key work fine.
    It's going to be awkward carrying around the Apple wireless keyboard, but it does fit over the Logitech keyboard.  And I'll have to remember to carry extra AA batteries:(

  • N95 MEDIA KEYS NOT WORKING even without ALARM

    i got n95 as a gift and the person bought it from Saudi Arabia!
    what say NOKIA, what excuse u have this time ?

    regarding the 8GB version, mine is silver but came with a 8GB memory card from o2 UK would that not make it the 8GB version?

    for lighta isue,check in tools,settings,general,personalisation,,display,and look where theslider is for the light sensor,,if its low tweak it up a bit...keypad lights only work when light sensor detects a little light,so at midday,lights wont light up anyway,dont need to..energy saving i guess...check these and get back to me m8

  • Sk-2061 Keyboard Multi-media keys not working on windows media player

    I have an HP ENVY Recline 27-k150xt TouchSmart All-in-One CTO Desktop PC that came with the SK-2061 keyboard. The problem is like i said in my subject. However, I have also tried restarting the HID services and setting them to automatic which I read helped with the volume keys...that did not fix my multimedia keys. 
    All that i can do with the MM keys is when I have the player active i can press the play/pause button and then the play/pause button on the player is selected but I still have to hit the space bar to "press" the button.
    I need to be able to pause and play the media player while in a document (i'm transcribing some audio files).
    Thanks!

    Ha! Nevermind I figured it out. For anyone else who is a dingbat just hit the function key and f7...man i feel dumb

  • F7 & F8 shortcut keys not working with Apple's new keyboard

    Using a Mac with Macs newish low profile keyboard.
    Nothing happens when I use these keys.
    The F5 & F6 keys work just fine.
    Is there something I'm doing wrong?
    Or is the new Apple keyboard not compatible with these shortcuts?
    What to do?
    plmk,
    thanks.

    You can go to the System Preferences --> Keyboard and Mouse and check "Use F1, F2 etc keys..." and F7 and F8 will work.
    But I don't know where the function key is on those new keyboards.
