Music control keys not working

Just recently the music control keys (the function keys 7-9) aren't working, all the other function keys work. The music control keys do not work even if I am in iTunes or if I set it to use function keys as standard function keys then try to fn use it. I have looked at other questions similar to this but they haven't fixed the problem. I just updated to Yosemite on Tuesday, I have turned my computer off twice since then and I restarted it today trying to fix the issue. I have a Macbook pro with retina. Thanks for the help.

Hi,
Maybe you could try a PRAM reset. OS X Yosemite: Reset your computer’s PRAM

Just installed ios 7 on my 4s, and I have two issues: 1) control centre: the music controls do not work, only the volume adjust slider works; 2) in mail, where do you find the setting to control how many messages you want your inbox to retain?

Same problem here on my 4s: Control center music controls do not work.
Since this thread has two issues, I'm going to start a new one with only the music control bug. Topic: iOS 7 Control Center Music Controls Not Working On iPhone 4s

Hello...
It seems I got it fixed!! I had been trying the Fixit tool from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306759 while typing up there :))))
This tool is for changing RDP port but running it fixed my problem (I kept the port 3389 intact)!!
Hope it helps someone.

Not really sur easy you would be having that problem. Mine works. You might try RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost). Then try again and see if it makes a difference

Brightness and volume control keys not working with windows 7?

brightness, volume control and some other keys keys are not working with windows 7 with macbook pro retina. Can I fix it?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Have you installed Boot Camp drivers? You need them to make your computer work properly on Windows, and to use your function keys as Play or Pause, volume and brightness keys.
To install them, follow these steps:
1. Press the X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X.
2. Open Boot Camp Assistant and tick only the option to download Windows support software.
3. Windows support software will be downloaded and Boot Camp Assistant will ask you to burn it into a DVD or USB drive, so do it.
4. Start into Windows, insert the DVD or USB drive and install Boot Camp drivers. Your Mac and your volume and brightness keys will be working after installing the drivers

IOS 7 glitch: Music app keys not working in lockscreen. Using iPhone 5. iOS version - 7.0.2

the music keys next, prev and play/pause not working in lock screen. I have already reset my iphone twise. reset all settings also. It worked for 2 days and today morning also the same issue. WHich is really annoying. iOS 6.1.4 never had such kinda issues. If anybody has the same issue, please lemme know any solutions to it.

yeah man.. same here.. They just raped the beautiful iOS. Now it looks like a gay OS.. with less performance. I hope they improve it. Else their end is very near like blackberry phones. God save them. God save us. I have spent Rs 45500 to buy my iPhone 5. Dont wanna realise that i have wasted so much money.

Control key not working after repair

I took my macbook in over the weekend to the genius bar for them to look at the display hinge, from the paperwork it looks like in addition to replacing the display they also replaced the logic board and the wifi card.
I got the laptop home and the control key is not working. Resetting PRAM and NVRAM doesn't fix the issue, nor does fiddling with keyboard/universal access settings.
Is this a hardware issue? Do I need to make another trip to the genius bar?

Hm-m, I got exactly the same problem, got the logic board replaced today, and at home discovered that the control key is not working. Have you found the solution?

Keyboard: audio and Brightness control keys not working with or without fn

The Keys for controling Audio and Brightness (F1-F5) do not work.
Also combined with pressing the "fn" key the keys do not work.
So i only control audio with the remote control or the slider in the menubar.
Making a reboot with deleting pram didn't help.
I'm running the up to date version of leopard on a macbook pro (core2duo).
I also searched in the forum for this problem.
I oten read about "sytem control"-"keyboard and mouse"-"keyboard" and the F1, F2, etc. to use as...
but switching this button on or off doesn't change anything.

problem solved:
the couse was the software update 1.1 for macbook pro, because there i had the problem like in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6142512&#6142512
and did the solution like that, but there i maybe made some mistakes with renaming and copying, so i rinstalled the update and renamed it a copied to plugins, and now all works as it should.
thanks for help

Volume Control Keys Not Working

I got a new MacBook Pro last week and i've noticed that the volume control keys on the keyboard are not working. When I press any of the keys, the grey box that typically appears does show up, but the volume level indicator does not move and there is a small circle underneath with a line through it that shows up every time as well. The only thing that changes is the actual speaker icon, which will change from having a line through it to not having a line through it and vice versa. I've checked the setting for the F# keys, and this is not "checked" in the settings. I'm not sure if this is something I can fix or if it is something I will have to go into the store to have checked out - suggestions?

I cant believe nobody has a fix on this!

HT5595 Lock screen and Bluetooth Music controls do not work

Immediately after installing IOS 7 (on about 9/19), I noticed that the lock-screen access to Music was not working. I could change the volume and timepoint of a song that was already playing, but the play/pause, forward and rewind buttons did not work. Some posters suggested that a restore would fix the problem, so I restored and am now at 7.0 (11A465). After the restore, the controls worked for a day or two, but stopped working again. And I've noticed that the same functions are not working with Bluetooth in my car.
BTW: the restore did not preserve the set of downloaded e-mail. Those messages are gone, so far as I can tell.

Mine work. Depending on the app being used, it may take several seconds for the play button to work. After that initial delay, you should be good to go.

The music controls are not working after updating to iOS 7!

After updating, the main music app is working fine, but the music player accessed through the lockscreen and the menu you pull up by swiping upwards is not working properly!!!!! The fastforward, rewind and play/pause buttons aren't responding at all! Volume and the pace bar works though...Please help!!!

I had the same bug. Powering off the phone and back on resolved the issue

Control key not working when selecting multiple photos for email

Okay, I can't seem to send more than one photo through email no matter how I try to "select them." I am able to select the photos from the photo library. I see the little scrolling screen at the top of the page and then use the control key to select the photos which appear in the larger screen beneath. The problem is, is that I can't send all of the pictures through email, it thinks I am only trying to send one. When I look at the big screen with the pictures I have selected it looks like only one is highlighted and no matter what I try (the control key, shift key) it won't select them, it pops up with an picture editing function. Is my iphoto screwed up? Help!

Okay, I tried both. I clicked <done> at the bottom of the screen and the scroll bar at the top disappeared and then I just see one large photo. The only thing that happens when I double click on the large photo is that it comes back to the scroll bar at the top again, or vice versa. Does that make sense? I'm seriously wondering if my software is screwed up. My husband finally was able to send multiple pictures via email by creating a slideshow and selecting the pictures that way. (iphoto help says you are not able to select pictures to send through email through a slide show....go figure.) I still need to get out of this mode and don't know what to do! Any other suggestions?

Brightness control keys not working (f2+f3)

After upgrading to windows 10, my Brightness control keys(f2+f3) have stopped working.What shall i do?

I recommend that you download and install the latest version of the HP Support Assistant and run the Tune up application.http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp68001-68500/sp68201.exe It may find drivers that resolve the issue for you. Drivers and firmware that worked under Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 should also work for Windows 10. That is a nice and new feature of Windows 10. Install the Synaptics Touchpad driver software for Windows 8.1. It should work under Windows 10. Install in compatibility mode if needed.http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp63001-63500/sp63417.exe Verify that the installed BIOS is the current version F.19

Control Key not working?

Last night I was looking at some photos and decided i would try to go and zoom in using Control+2 fingers, but it wasn't working. I went into the preferences and went into the trackpad options to make sure it was selected. It was selected, so i went into the options and changed it to Option+2 fingers and then Command+2 fingers. both of these work.
Is there any way to fix this or anything? It was working fine like a month ago, but maybe 2 weeks ago i went and got my cracked trackpad fixed by Apple. could they have messed up the key when they were fixing it?
P.S. if it is important or not, i got my 17-in MBP in Feb of '09

I called Apple Care. The guy made me do some diagnostic stuff and came to the conclusion that this one key must be broken. I couldn't follow all of his instructions since the CTRL key is necessary for some resets you can trigger by pressing keys during the start.
I was sent to an Apple Premium Partner to verify the problem. They told me it was either a problem with the unibody/logic board or a mechanical problem with the key itself. Best option would be an exchange. They said this qualifies as 'dead on arrival'.
I called Apple Care again and the they happily arranged an exchange. I'm hoping to get the replacement next week. They usually handle exchanges rather quickly (from my experience).
Let's hope the replacement is undamaged.
Good luck to the rest of you!
