N8 Volume Keys Problem?

Hi,
Please can anyone help?
The volume keys on the right side of my Nokia N8 are not responding so I can't alter the volume when playing Angry Birds Lite.
Also, the only way the ringer volume can be adjusted is by accessing phone setting and using the touchscreen.
However, the volume keys seem to work in camera mode for adjusting zoom.
This is my third Nokia N8:
1st - Dead battery issue
2nd - Stuck green cluster of pixels
3rd - Volume control?
If this is another hardware problem my Nokia N8 is being exchanged for a proper phone.
Kind regards,
Martyn

Problem with the volume keys on my keyboard.

Hey everybody,
I have a problem with the volume keys on my keyboard. This started a couple days ago and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. When I press the volume up or down buttons, the graphic appears on the screen as it normally would, but has no effect on the volume of the sound coming out of my speakers. Therefore, the only way to change the volume of music or whatever I am listening to is to use the volume control within the program/website itself (itunes, youtube, etc.) Even changing the volume on the volume icon at the menu bar on top of the screen does nothing. If anyone has an idea of how to go about solving this issue, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

First look into the Preference > Sound > Outpur whether internal Speakers are choosen.
The only Preference to delete I can discover is com.apple.systempreferences.plist in your home Library folder. You can try to move it out to the desktop for example, not to loose all your settings. Restart and see whether the problem still persists. If you don't know how to do this here some Terminal (Applications > Utilities) commands. Enter them by copy and paste followed by <enter>
mv ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist ~/Desktop/
restart
to get it back:
mv ~/Desktop/com.apple.systempreferences.plist ~/Library/Preferences/
confirm with "y" if you are asked to replace this file.

With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
then see if you can increase volume

Toshiba L300D-SP5802 Volume Key / DVD Drive problems

Hi
I'm Enrique from San Juan, Argentina
I've bought a Toshiba L300D-SP5802 on october/november 2008
Everything was fine until now. I'm having two problems.
1) Phisical volume key isn't working. This is not very important. I can manage it with a hotkeys software, etc.
2) The most important problem is that the dvd drive isn't reading anything. After I put the cd or dvd, it begins to spin, then I hear the little sound of the dvd drive spinning, but then it slows down, then the sound starts again like it if were going to read it, but it doesn't.
I suspect that the dvd drive must be dirty because mom smokes a lot when my father uses the notebook besides her. (Please confirm this to me)
My main question is:
Should I send the notebook to warranty? Should warranty cover both problems? or should I send to repair?
As far as I can remember, warranty isn't void. I'm still on time
Thanks a lot for any advice you can give me.

Your concern of smoking is valid, obtain a good disc cleaner for the optical drive and run it, this will clear up the laser lense. somewhat. Check via the Device Manager that the CD/DVD is listed there. If it is not than you will need to: Right click on Computer, scroll to Properties, open same and see if CD/DVD is listed in your hardware, delete same if there. Look at the toolbar and it will be the last icon will read[install/add new hardware check]. See if the system can restore the drive.
NOTE: sometimes the door to the hard drive is pulled away from pin connector housing inside, close the door to ensure it is full with the unit housing.
Also, ensure that there is proper air flow, nothing cluttering the exhaust vents, and fan unit is cleaned pf those dust mites.
WARRANTY concern-it must be related to a defective part or non-operation component which would cause a failure.

Sleep, USB, monitor and keyboard keys (eject, volume, mute) problems fixed!

I wanted to post this in another thread, but it had been archived.
My computer would not sleep under 10.4.8, screen would go black, fans and hard drives would whirl and I would have to hard restart to get out of sleep. Also, keyboard eject and volume keys would randomly stop functioning, the monitors brightness control disapearing in System Preferences and the built in USB ports for the monitor becoming erratic and unreliable. So after trying about everything, I finally gave in and did a fresh install (backed up user files to another drive, formated and installed). After the install was done my computer would still not go into sleep properly or out if it without a hard restart. So, for the sleep issue I deleted the preferences files recomended in this thread:

The volume keys on my MacBook Pro stop working after using headphones.

The volume keys on my MacBook Pro recently stopped controling the volume after I've used headphones. I still have sound; I just can't make the volume increase or decrease. The mute, however, still works just fine. Because I have sound from the intenral speakers I know the computer doesn't think the headphones are still in the jack. A reboot fixes the problem, but as soon as I use headphones the problem starts up again. I want to fix this permanently.
I don't know if this helps but all the other keys (brightness, play/pause, etc) still work. I recently had to reset the PRAM because my computer refused to sleep when the lid was shut. I've checked system preferences and everything seems to be in order.
Can someone please help!?

I found this advice on another thread after encountering the same problem - I did the reboot and it worked fine and dandy!
I spoke with Applecare to fix my Macbook volume. Apparently there are pins inside the speaker/headphone jack that can get jammed. We fixed mine by doing some sort of reboot:
Turn off laptop.
Hold down the Option, Command, P, and R keys (all four at once, it's tricky!) and while holding down the four keys, turn on the computer. When you hear the second chime, release the four keys.
This re-set the sound toggle to internal speakers. Now I'm afraid to insert headphones again, but I assume this reboot will work over and over.

Volume keys not working on wireless keyboard

Hi guys!
My f10-11-12 keys are not working for volume purposes. I went into prefereces, keyboard, uncheck/check the "use F1, F2... blahblah" and the problem is still there.
I am using a macbookpro 13" 10.6.6.
By the way, if I try to do the same in the built-in macbookpro keyboard it works
This post did not help either https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2298682?start=0&tstart=0
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for asnwering... Yes, of course I have tried because is how it works
It could be that fn key does not work, but it isnt since If I uncheck the box "use fn key for f1 f2 standar.." the volume keys still not working.

The volume keys on my Logitech K760 wireless keyboard do not work with my 2.3 GHz, Intel Core i5 Mac mini which runs Mac OS X 10.7.4. Anyone know how to correct this without having to re-code firmware?

My first post to the Apple Support Community so it looks like all I wanted to know is covered in the title. The research I have done led me to solutions that I am not comfortable trying for fear of irreparably damaging my keyboard and/or Mac mini. Does anyone have a simpler solution? Please? Hellooooo?
Just in case the title is too long to show, I have re-pasted here:

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to work the above applications. I thought that i had managed to assign the appropriate function keys in Spark to their volume counterparts, but it had no effect. Below is a screen shot. Do you see anything amiss?

I have a 2013 mac pro and the volume keys aren't changing the volume of my LED display. The icon shows up as going up or down but the volume seems to not adjust.

I've had this computer since october of 2013 or so and I have just recently run into this problem. I use the volume keys on the keyboard and I hear the tick sounds and it shows that its going up and down but the volume doesn't actually change. I've looked in the "sound" settings and everythings seems to be correct... I can't adjust the sound in their either though. I pay too much to be having an issue like this.

Possible? Yes. Likely? I'm not sure.
In my house, I would suspect that either one of our pets chewed on a cable or dislodged a connector, or somebody bumped a connection loose, but then I would expect either no volume at all or hum from a grounding problem. Clear, non-zero constant volume is harder to explain.
You say adjusting the output volume directly in the Sound settings or on the menu bar also has no effect on the audible output?
You might want to go ahead and answer the question about connections. Somebody else might come along who recognizes a possible problem with the particular combination you are using. I don't have exactly your model of Mac Pro or display. (Is yours the Apple LED Cinema Display? Which size?)

Brightness, media, and volume keys broken

I am at my wit's end trying to restore functionality to my special keys on my late 2007 macbook running OS X 10.6.8.
Some time two days ago something happened and now suddenly I cannot use the mute key (F10), the volume keys (F11, F12), the brightness keys (F1, F2), or the media keys (play/pause (F8), forward (F9), rewind(F7)). Probably the media eject key is non-functional too, but I'm afraid to put in a CD and test it in case I can't get it out.
Interestingly, the exposé "all windows" button (F3) works fine, as does the dashboard button (F4).
I think I instigated the problem installing and poorly uninstalling logitech command center or maybe somehow poorly uninstalling logmein.com sound drivers, but that's just guilt by association AND I've tried everything I can think of in terms of uninstalling those apps, reinstalling them, and carefully uninstalling them correctly. Still, my half-baked best theory of what happened is that the logitech software reassigned some key functions somehow.
I am using a logitech K750 external keyboard and a M510 mouse via a unifying receiver. The keyboard is the version intended for a PC but was working pretty fine on my macbook (windows key worked as command key, Fn+volume keys worked as expected). I installed Logitech Control Center (LCC) for Macintosh because I wanted to adjust the horizontal scrolling via the mouse wheel (it was way too fast for my tastes). Installation of LCC prompted the keyboard setup assistant ("Your keyboard cannot be identified..."), even though I was only interested in adjusting the mouse and the keyboard was working fine. I ran through the setup assistant as instructed. Roughly since then, I've lost volume adjusting functionality on both the external (logitech) and built-in keyboard as well as all the other functions mentioned on the built-in keyboard.
I've been obsessed with this the last day and a half with no luck. Here is a pretty comprehensive list of what I've tried to fix the problem, though I may forget something since I've done so much:
-removed all peripheral hardware.
-use a different user account.
-SMC Reset
-PRAM reset
-Safe mode
-System preferences reset/ inspect all settings related to keyboard, universal access, text to speech according to the numerous help files I found online. (yes, I unchecked "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys"
-turned off all google chrome background apps and inspected the key bindings of all chrome extensions.
-Removed Cache folder from library folder.
-removed recently installed software that I suspected might be related, reinstalled, re-uninstalled.
-installed OnyX and run all the maintenance/restoration routines I saw in it that didn't sound too scary.
-Turned on keyboard viewer and verified that each guilty key is recognized by the system when I press it (they all are!).
No luck. I don't have a snow leopard install disk but I just bid on one on ebay because I'm starting to feel like my only option is a time-machine full system restore
Please help! I'm still holding out hope that there is some simple way to get under the hood and re-assign or reset the keys. I can't even figure out how to disconnect the logitech peripherals (keyboard and mouse), though I've removed all the logitech software I can find.

I have an early 2007 Mac Book Pro 17" and had to re-install OS X 10.6.8 because of some problems created while installing a 2nd operating system.
After installing 10.6. the screen brightness keys wouldn't work (F1 and F2), I tried updating to 10.6.8 that didn't solve the problem either.
I'm still having this problem and plan to try to fix it today. I had previously seen a link where someone was explaining which files or extensions in the Library folder/directory control those functions and to see if they were all present.
I will search for that link again as I forgot to save it. If that works i'll share the link with you later.

No sound when pressing volume keys

When I press the volume keys on my keyboard, it doesn't make the sound that lets you know the level of volume. It sometimes works, but mostly its not working. Please help.

I am having the same problem: any luck finding a solution?

Touch Volume Keys in Fullscreen Mode

Hi I have a Toshiba Satellite A500 02E laptop and my touch volume keys don't work in fullscreen mode. I don't know if this is some kind of setting but it's annoying when I try and change the volume while playing games. If anyone knows how to help it's appreciated. Thanks

hi,
actually this problem generally aries due to o.s. so i think you should change your o.s.

Login gets stuck -- only volume keys get it unstuck

On two of my computers (iMac and Mac Mini -- both recent and both running Lion), the login screen often gets stuck. I click the user to login or start typing a password and the computer just stops responding. The only thing that fixes it is raising and/or lowering the volume (in either order, but it's the volume that does it). Once the volume is changed, the system goes back to normal and the letters I typed appear (or rather dots do -- this is the password field after all). Very occasionally it will get stuck twice during the same login.
This is obviously a huge issue logging in remotely because I can't get the volume keys to work via screen sharing (or at least I don't know how to).
This happened almost immediately upon setting up the systems, so I don't think there's a third party app issue at play.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

That is an extremly strange scenario, even for one computer, the fact it's happening on two is bizarre.

Media Keys working/Volume keys broken

I used to use MultiPlugin by localhost to make the media keys on my keyboard work when iTunes was minimized. This worked great. When I updated iTunes to 7.1, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the media keys worked fully without any plugins. However, after using my computer for a few hours I found that the volume keys performed a "double press" when I was only pressing the buttons once. What happens is that when I try to mute/unmute the system the volume will be muted and immediately unmuted or vice versa. I have narrowed this problem down to iTunes, seeing as when I stop running iTunes, the keys work fine. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
Thanks,
Justin
