My keyboard volume buttons no longer work (other function keys still work)??

I've never had any problems with my keyboard but after one instance of viewing a video (via my TV, where I selected audio device
as HDMI as for some reason it was still coming from my mac, which was not usual) my volume function keys on keyboard no longer
work.
When I press them they show they volume icon onscreen but it is grey and non-functional?
I've tried going to system pref and keyboard setting to ensure the function keys are all set as they should be but I have not had any
success so far. I've also played video through TV again and put audio settings back to mac, instead of HDMI, but still nothing.
Any ideas??

In the meantime, you could use Keyboard Viewer to type the characters which don't work.
You can open Keyboard Viewer via the Input Menu - that's the menu that usually displays a flag, on the right end of the main menubar. If the Input Menu is not shown in the main menubar, go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Input Sources and checkmark the "Show Input menu in menu bar" item. On the same page, at the top of the list of input sources (languages ≈ keyboard layouts) checkmark the item "Keyboard & Character Viewer".
With the Keyboard Viewer open, any letters you click on its representation of the keyboard will be entered in an open document.
Note - this can't, of course, be used as a substitute for characters needed for startup commands.

The volume buttons no longer work. What shod I do

After playing music next time I used the iPhone my volume buttons don't work. What have I done?

I have the same problem
I use the control center to adjust the volume but it's annoying to do that a lot often

I just took my I-Pod touch to a computer repair shop to replace cracked screen and now am told main part of I-Pod needs to be replaced.volume button no longer works, headphone and locking device also no longer working. Even though it all worked when given

I just took my I-Pod touch to a computer repair shop to replace a cracked screen. Told it need the main part to it. They said the volume button, headphone and locking part no longer worked. Told me to pick it up. When I gave it to them all components were working. Said because they weren't able to fix it there was no charge. Don't understand this.

Probably when you dropped, kicked, smashed, threw, or whatever you did to break your screen it also damaged the logic board and the connections to the volume button, headphone jack and sleep button. Happens all the time. Apparently the shop you selected to work on it is not very good so take them off your shopping list.
Then go buy a 5th Generation iPod Touch.

Curve 8520 Volume Button No Longer Working

Today the volume up button on right side of my Curve 8520 no longer works. Is there a fix? Is there another way I can control my volume when listening to music? I really don't want to replace my current Curve if I can. Please help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the reply unleashurself,
When listening to music, listening to voice notes or watching video's there is no sound. When I push on the up volume button, volume does not go up & little speaker icon on bottom right of screen shows no bars (ie: no sound)
When making a phone call and using speaker phone, noticed I am able to volume down with the volume down button, but cannot volume up.
It does seem like a hardware issue (up volume button is done), I am wondering if there is another way I can control my volume through menu settings.

hello, i think this is caused by the update of adobe's flash plugin to version 11.3 which has introduced a socalled protected mode, which apparently is breaking the transmission of hotkey input back to the operating system when flash has focus.
you could try [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071 disabling protected mode] in flash or [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580 downgrading to a prior version].

Volume buttons no longer work in 10.4.8

I just updated to 10.4.8, via Software Update. I have tried pressing my volume keys on my Apple Keyboard that shipped with the iMac, and the little grey box comes up with the volume status, and it moves as I press the volume up/down, but the volume isn't adjusted. I can change the volume from the menu bar, and I can change the brightness with F14 and F15.
Buttons that work:
F14-F15 (Brightness)
Eject
Buttons that do not work:
Volume down
Voume up
Mute
Thanks for your help!

Hello,
Have you should made sure your permissions are repaired? If your permissions are wrong, then you will likely have trouble.
I found that it found several audio related permissions needing correction on my system after the update. Since repairing permissions, everything has been fine.
So, go into "Disk Utility" in the Applications --> Utilities folder and repair your permissions.
Start by selecting your hard drive on the left window of Disk Utility. Then, go down and click on the "Repair Permissions" button. Once it's completed, then exit Disk Utility.
Then, go ahead and restart the computer and see how it works.
I hope this helps.

My keyboard sound buttons no longer work in Firefox 13.1

Ever since the most recent firefox update, if I want to turn down a youtube video using my keyboard sound control buttons, I have to unselect my firefox window. Any solution for this?

I pod nano 6th generation volume buttons no longer work

I got a quote from apple and they want 80$ to fix an ipod with a crappily built button. This is my second ipod nano 6th gen within the past year, my last one had the same button problem but it was with the power button. I don't abuse them.
How do i go about getting a new 6th gen without paying 80$ for a design flaw.

My keyboard and my external buttons no longer work.

I guess it's probably a hardware problem and I'll have them repaired, but I am informed anyway.
Last night, suddenly my keyboard, trackpad and all my external buttons no longer work. Only my touch screen works, but no back button, a BlackBerry is not very useful.
It may be software, but I updated yesterday the operating system. But I find it strange that all the external buttons do not work together.
What could be the problem. If I have to go to the workshop, I want to know as much as possible.
Thanks !

Evolution, keyboard work again, but screen close often (lock button), probably humidity

"prev"and "next" buttons no longer work on Yahoo/other slideshows. Still work in Chrome.

In updating for FFX 6 and 7, the next and prev buttons no longer work in slideshows on Yahoo news and similar sites. Sometimes the status bar shows the links as javascript: void or :null. Sometimes longer links. All javaconsole add-ins are shown as incompatible with these version of FFX.

i woudnt suggest it, but if your warranty is up it could just be a bad connection from the wheel...what generation do you have? my 4th generation 20 gig ceased to function and it was because somehow one of the cables had a bad connection. i took it to the apple store and they gave me an estimate for something i wasnt willing to pay on a 2 year old ipod so i just winged dissasembleing it and after taking apart the whole thing and reassembling it worked fine.

Function Buttons no longer work

Installed Leopard. (Had a painful time).
The Fn Buttons used to work with tiger:
Fn F4 -> volume, Fn F2 -> Brightness, etc...
These buttons no longer work.
How do I fix it ?
Do I need a driver or something ?
Ajay

System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > keyboard.
Make sure the 'Use all F1 & F2 as Standard function keys' has been ticked or use the keys without the fn key.

iOS 7 problems with ford sync. Skip track button no longer works.

Sorry, I used the wrong term in my original post. I don't mean to say "mute" my phone, but meant lower the volume!
Should have read: "In Smart Actions, if I want to lower the notification volume on my phone to 13% when I'm in a meeting it only adjusts the volume for calls - not text or email notifications! What the heck is the point of adjusting your phone volume if it doesn't affect all the notifications!?"

The volume button ( ) is not working. Can I take the device to any Apple store in the U.S. for this to be resolved?

We wouldn't know that answer. You'll know when you take in to the Apple store to have it looked at.

Volume buttons won't work

i dropped my iphone in the shower. yeah, i know, stupid me. the sound still came out a little gurgled. i tapped it against my hand a couple times and it became clearer, figuring water was in the speaker area. i used a blow dryer to see if i could dry out the remainder, but that resulted in the phone going mute. now the volume buttons done't work at all. no volume bar comes across the screen at all. no sound comes from the phone except for when i make calls. i can hear phone calls but the phone itself no longer makes any sound and the volume buttons do nothing.

the fix was time. after a few hours, everything came back to normal.
