Media keys still not working on my laptop with itunes 10.4.1

Hi All,
I have a Dell XPS 16 laptop with the latest version of itunes installed and my media keys still won't control it unless I'm currently in itunes. It's incredibly annoying as I'm sure most of you would understand. Anyone else have the same issue or a fix?
Thanks

I used to have the old Logitech illuminated keyboard and I thought it was because of logitech so I bought a new keyboard. (There were several issues with my old keyboard anyways) I now have the Logitech k360 and the same issue popped up. The play/pause backwards and forwards keys do not work. However on a side-note the FN hotkey to open iTunes does work. I have reinstalled drivers, software, itunes, did some other stuff and they didn't work. It's not on logitech's end.
I just reinstalled to 10.3.1 and now I'm getting a message when I try to run the program saying "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a new version of iTunes." I'm just going to uninstall and reinstall the latest version for the 3rd time now and hope Apple releases an update which fixes this compatibility issue.
I'm running Windows vista 64.

    Kindly note also that i did not work on this iphone before, i just turned it on and i cannot connect it to the itune and restore it as the itune cannot read the device since i'm not able to reach my home screen, I am stuck in my restoring screen.
    Please help!!!!

    You dont have any data on your phone yet right?
    If you dont connect your device to the computer and
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least 15 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    after that click okay when it says itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. Then click restore
    after that try again

  • Some keys are not working of my laptop lz801pa#

    Hi
    Recently I installed Windows 8.1 on my laptop (hp pavilion dv6 6115tx entertainment notebook) - lz801pa
    Then I installed Visual studio 2013. everything was working perfectly then.
    I guess when I changed keyboard option in visual studio to C# 2005, after that some of the keys stopped working.
    I also reset that option to default, but the issue is still there. 
    Down & right arrow keys, right arrow key of num pad, 1-5,8,9,0 keys in the first row(up above qwerty keys row) are not working. 
    I am able to press indivisually tab & alt, but alt+tab combination is not able to use for switching between windows/apps.
    Please help me.

  • "1" key still not working after reset

    I posted a while ago about my 1 key not working on my laptop (iBook G3 800MHz)or an external keyboard. I was advised to try resetting PRAM and then PMU. I finally did both with some help and the process did not fix the "1" key. I am only able to type a "1" by using the num lock key on the laptop or the 10-key pad on the external keyboard.
    Does anyone have any more suggestions as to how I can try to fix this problem?
    Thanks in advance, (and thanks for the suggestion about PRAM and PMU; I liked learning)
    P.S. A friend of mine told me to hide the keyboard .plist from the preferences library but there was no such plist. Is this a difference between 10.3.9 and the new 4.0 OSX? I saw the keyboard .plist on her machine but when I got home I didn't have one.

    Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check whether either the speech key or the listening key has become set to that keystroke; if so, change the setting.

  • HT1277 My ICloud was hacked. So the email box on my Macbook Pro isn't working at all. However, I can use it when I login to ICLOUD and my IPhone.  Why will it still not work on my laptop. Help please!

    Hi,
    My ICloud was hacked.  So I updated my password and now have my Iphone and the Icloud online email working.  Yet the email set up on my Macbook Pro still will not work and I ran through the troubleshooting.  It has ICloud IMAP.  Can someone please help me with this?
    Thank you.

    First, a caution: Do not retry passwords.  Trying random passwords or wrong passwords more than (usually) twice, and that'll usually trip evasion, and you'll get blocked even with the right passwords.  If you've retried random passwords, you'll have to let things "cool off" for a while, and try again later.
    Open up the details drawer in the Mail.app Connection Doctor troubleshooting, and re-run the connection tests.  Expurgate anything sensitive from the diagnostics, and post the iCloud-related errors here.
    Alternatively, remove the iCloud account from the accounts listed within Mail.app.  Re-add it.  See if that clears the issue.
    Alternatively and if the other options here fail, contact Apple iCloud support directly and request assistance.

  • Some keys are not working on my laptop

    Hello, i am new here and this is my first question. I bought  HP Laptop G4-1200TX from a local dealer 2 years ago. It worked fine till last year when i ,manually, upgrade its window from win7 home basic to win7 premuim and then to win7 ultimate. After sometime some of keys stopped working  {last row keys - "z", "x", "c", "v", "m" (the last row alphabets except "b" and "n") and the spacebar stopped working}. Its been a long time now also the laptop is out of warranty. I havedone following things :
    1) unistalled the keyboard from device manager and then reinstalled it again .
    2) cleaned the keys by slightly pulling them up (there was no dust/dirt at all )
    3) Removed the battery and hold the power button for full one minute and then reinserted the battery.
                                   I Tried the above methods more than once but no success  . I have also read your forum for similar question and answers but they were the same as above. Its really  difficult to open on-screen keyboard everytime.Now i want it to be perfect more than ever since i had to go college where laptop is necessary. So i come to you now for some help. Early reply appreciated....
    Thanks in advance............

    Hello Terence_Green,
    When this issue occurs do you receive an error message? When you are having this issue try testing the preloaded media files (Music, Video) and see if you have the same result.

  • Siri still not working in canada even with ios 5.1

    It appears that Siri still does not give directions etc in canada even with the new 5.1 release.  When can I expect the service to be working fully?
    I paid a lot of money for this device to not function fully.

    Hey I live in Canada and I bought a 4S directly from apple (mostly to get by the constraints of a contracted phone) and while I would love to see SIRI Localization support for Canada I understand what Beta means...  Being an I.T. person
    However what many of you don't realize when you chastize someone like this is... Sometimes we are lead down the garden path by mobile phone providers.  We don't all buy our phones from the manufacturer and as such are sometimes told what we want to hear to get that sale. 
    I would expect SIRI likely to be out of beta when the iPhone 5 starts to ship however.  Whenever that will be...

    My iphone 4 will not push my notifications to my phone. I reset and restored it and still nothing. I even set it up as a new phone in still nothin can anybody help me.

    Hi R. Weav27,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some troubleshooting steps for issues with push notifications:
    iOS: Understanding notifications
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3576
    Troubleshooting notifications
    Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection.
    Note: Notifications use Wi-Fi only when a cellular connection is unavailable. Firewalls and proxy servers may affect your ability to receive notifications. For more information, see Unable to use Apple Push Notification service (APNs).
    If you're not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
    Verify that the app supports notifications.
    After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app to begin receiving notifications. If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
    Check Settings > Notification Center to ensure that the app is configured for notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
    Cheers,

  • Sync not working between Window laptop with FF32 and android tablet with FF 32

    Computer is Windows 7
    Labtop is android
    Both devices have FF 32
    As far as I know, sync has been set up correctly on both devices. But they still aren't syncing. It looks as though I've missed a setting somewhere. I tried to follow instructions from an earlier version, but the menu was different and I couldn't find the counterparts for this version. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Jane

    Hi gohim2j,
    Thank you for your question, I understand that there are two devices attached to your sync account that do not appear as they are syncing. Please try the following steps to kick start the sync:
    # Make a copy of the profile folder for a back up of the current data.
    # Remove the account from each of the devices, (on the desktop from the "3 bar" menu select "Options" and click on sync. Next to the email, remove account. On the mobile device, go to accounts and select Firefox, tap on the account name and select "Remove account")
    # On the desktop, go to accounts.firefox.com and sign into the account. When you reach the notification "Sync will begin momentarily" close Firefox. Open Firefox and select the Tools menu and click "Sync Now"
    # On the mobile device, re-add the account. Go to the same url accounts.firefox.com and sign into your sync account. Once it has been added, go to the sync menu with the list of check boxes are to select what to sync. Are there any notifications there? Sometimes there will be a warning asking to toggle Auto-sync. Once this is done from the Data menu of the Android device, the sync process will begin.
    # Wait for a bit, then go to the Desktop to check for the "Mobile Bookmarks" folder in the Bookmark's manager.
    Did it start to sync? If not it is possible to investigate any error in the sync logs. I can provide instructions on how to do this with your response.
