New USB keyboard installed, now volume control buttons function as clock screen popup?

Keyboard volume controll function as Clock screen pop-up. Just install new keyboard as old one had several dead keys

I was able to fix this bug by upgrading to OS X 10.6.8.
Very strange that a) it was a problem in the first place and b) that the upgrade did not happen automatically
Thanks very much to Haggibbor, who alerted me to that possibility. Since I read this in a thread I did not open myself, I unfortunately do not know how to let him have the 10 points I would like him to receive. (Hints for this newbie are very welcome.)
Problem of volume control keys is now solved.

  • I purchased a new Apple Keyboard and now the controls for the top row (the f1,f2, f3, etc...) will not function properly.

      I cannot use expose, itunes controls, or anything.   When I hit the controls for itunes, it activates either expose or the dashboard or something else.  I can deactivate this in system settings under the keyboard controls, and I can even rebind the keys in there, however there seems to be no way for me to get my audio controls to work.  How do I get skip, play/pause, mute, and volume controls to work again?  I can't find anywhere I can go to bind the f-whatever keys to those functions again.  This is very frustrating as I constantly use these audio controls.

    I guess you have been to System Pres -> Keyboard? Use this to see if it changes:

  • I've just had a keyboard firmware update and now my volume control buttons wont work

    i've just had a keyboard firmware update and now my volume control buttons wont work.
    Has anyone else had this problem? if so have they found out how to fix it, or is this an on going issue?

    Hi,
    Your problem has some similarities to this problem that I reported earlier this month that that still arises every few days. I was thinking that my problem was related to some sort of bug in Entourage, but maybe it's something else...

  • FATALITY GAMING USB HS-1000 volume control button doesnt work

    I have just bought CREATIVE FATALITY GAMING USB HS-1000 headset. Everything is ok, except of volume control button on wire, it just doesnt work. I have installed and updated drivers, nothing helped. I have readed few topic on similar issues, but there wasnt any solution. My OS is winXP SP3.

    Have you tested your headset jock or where you plug your headset? It may be coming from that, as you have said you have tested the unit in another pc.

  • Rattling volume control buttons

    Just a small point but having moved from an original iphone to new 3gs I notice that the volume control buttons rattle around - very noticeable when the phone vibrates in the cradle. On the original iphone the buttons were very solid with no movement (except when pushed!) Is this just the way things are made now?

    I also had the 2G, but also had the 3G and going now to 3Gs there is a difference in the snugness of the silent switch, at least on mine I can tell it's definately not the volume buttons...if you do a bit more investigating you'll probably find it's the silent switch not the volume buttons...
    And yes it seems there are a lot of people that have this same experience...you can try to have Apple swap for new phone but it's a 50/50 chance they will...

  • HT4623 my volume control button on my music disappears - any ideas why?

    My volume control button on my music disappears and therefore so does my tone when I get message or calls.  Any ideas why?

    Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.
    Relaunch the App and try again.
    Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • Volume control buttons don't work for iTunes in speaker mode

    Using onboard speakers (no headset on my iPhone 4S, the speaker buttons are not working.  In fact the slider ICON in missing in playing music as well as the ringer ICON that comes up when I press the buttons.
    I can go into settings, Sounds and manually move the slider for Ringer and Alerts, with "Change with Buttons" set "on, I can then press the volumn buttons on the side and see the slider move up and down (right and left).  But as soon as I leave that screen and press either volumn up or down on the side, the Ringer ICON comes up but the slider part is gone.
    In this case, there is no sound out of the speakers.  However "Siri" works fine.
    And in phone mode, I can use speakerphone and hear audio out of the speakers.  (In fact in phone mode, speakers or headset works fine).
    All other apps the speakers are inop and the volum control buttons are inop.
    It's like it's in perminent "mute".

    I got out my air compressor and literally blew the S* out of the docking port.  I did dock the iPhone to my car dock port as a test, played music through the car.  Then undocked and the volume control and speaker sounds all restored.
    Not 100% it was cleaning the docking port or that I unwedged the software by docking into some different device.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50501-51000/sp50856.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load.  Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again.

  • Every time I plug in my headphones into my Macbook Pro, my volume control buttons don't work.

    Every time I plug in my headphones into my Macbook Pro, my volume control buttons don't work. Even after I unplug my headphones they don't work, they get stuck on the level of volume it was at when I plugged in the headphones. I can control the volume if I go to system preferences and do it that way, but that is such a pain. Also, in order to get the buttons to work again I have to completely restart my computer which is also a pain! What should I do, or can do, to fix the problem?

  • Why did i get a different headphone from the one in the pic? It has no volume control button.

    I am really dissapointed with my order. I bought an apple headphone with remote and mic online, and i received a headphone that doesnt look and function the same as the one advertised. It has no volume control button with the + and - signs. This is the second pairs i bought the headphone and this one definitely looks different from the pairs i had previously. I hope someone can clarify this thing, and it's really troublesome if i wanted to return the headphone.

    Are you sure you ordered the earphones WITH remote and volume control? Look at your bill; does it say something like "with remote and mic"? I think you should contact Apple Store for their assistance. Perhaps they really made a mistake and shipped you some old stock item. I agree, shipping and reshipping takes time and is troublesome. Hope you'll find a solution though. 

  • Clicking noise of volume control buttons

    Hello all!
    Several months ago i bought Iphone4 and after i discovered "clicking" noise of volume control buttons and the power button. It's a really disappointment... so what can i do with it? Is there any solution?

    Quick questions:
    1 - have you reset your PlayBook?
    2 - do you have an HDMI or Bluetooth audio device connected - these prevent the audio working?
    3 - if any of those haven't fixed it, can you still take a screenshot by pressing both volume buttons together?

  • Xps 11 volume-control button

    My xps 11 volume-control button (front left side of laptop) sometimes works as volume control, and sometimes starts NARRATOR. Has anyone encountered this situation or had the problem fixed?

    The following discussion on the Microsoft boards discusses problems where Narrator starts by itself or is turned on by a volume control button.  It may prove to be of help. 
    Disable narrator from Startup.
    a) Type MSCONFIG into your Start menu and press enter to start the Microsoft Configuration Utility.
    b) On the Startup tab, search for Narrator.exe.  If it exists, uncheck it to disable it from startup.
    This is Microsoft's paper on Narrator and it mentions how holding down the Windows KEY and enter or the Windows key with the up volume button will turn on Narrator.
    Press the Windows key and X together to bring up mobility and see if Narrator is mentioned. Uncheck it or disable it if it is.

  • Quicktime volume control button

    I am facing the following problem when importing an mp4 file as quicktime object on Director 12.0 (on Windows 7): I have Controls button checked so that the user can pause and play the video or control the  volume. Althought everything works fine when i play the movie on the stage, when i publish it, in the .exe file the volume control button (and only this) doesn't function properly: the volume bar isn't displyed and so i cannot control the volume of the video. Any thoughts?

    Hello Comi,
    I just tried the same with a D12 projector on Windows 7 and the sound control button did not function.
    The only solutions I can think of is to create a separate volume control button.
    This statement sets the volume of the QuickTime movie playing in sprite channel 7 to 256,  maximum volume.
    sprite(7).volume = 256
    I have a volume button sample .exe. Let me know if you want to check it out.
    Peace,

  • Volume control buttons not working with new usb keyboard

    Hi all,
    I recently replaced the bluetooth keyboard that came with my iMac with the usb keyboard (the long aluminium one, with the number block). Typing is no problem, but the volume control keys dont seem to work with this keyboard as I was used to with the bluetooth keyboard: max vol, increase/decrease and vol. off dont operate with any of the keys (f, alt, str, cmd, shift). Only thing I can do is get a view of the running programs or make the current application vanish from the screen.
    Tried to change the keyboard setting in preferences for the F1-12 keys - made no change.
    help is very much appreciated.
    Thanks

    I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
    Disk Utility can verify  my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
    I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
    I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
    I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
    Good luck!
