Sk-2061 Keyboard Multi-media keys not working on windows media player

I have an HP ENVY Recline 27-k150xt TouchSmart All-in-One CTO Desktop PC that came with the SK-2061 keyboard. The problem is like i said in my subject. However, I have also tried restarting the HID services and setting them to automatic which I read helped with the volume keys...that did not fix my multimedia keys.
All that i can do with the MM keys is when I have the player active i can press the play/pause button and then the play/pause button on the player is selected but I still have to hit the space bar to "press" the button.
I need to be able to pause and play the media player while in a document (i'm transcribing some audio files).
Thanks!

Ha! Nevermind I figured it out. For anyone else who is a dingbat just hit the function key and f7...man i feel dumb

Aluminum keyboard eject button does not work on Windows XP

I'm wondering if anyone else has the same issue:
the eject disk button on my new aluminum keyboard does not work in Windows XP (Boot Camp).
As I have a Mac Pro, there is no way of manually opening and closing the tray-loading Superdrive.
I can open the drive if I right-click "My Computer>DVD drive>Eject" but there is no way of closing it back. I am obviously not a Windows XP expert, are there ways of mapping the eject function to any key?

Actually, how does Software Update figure out what apps you have available for update?
I always thought that Software Update looks at your /Library/Receipts to check what Apple pkgs you have for update, so I assumed that any Apple-related Pkg would be updated. I may be totally wrong on this, correct me if that is so...but thanks for the info.

Esc key not working in windows 7

Hi,
I have a HP Pavilion dv6-4XXX series. It's almost been 2 years I bought this notebook.
Recently I faced an issue. The "ESC KEY" has stopped working. However I could find that it's working fine in BIOS but not when I am logged in to windows. I have windows-7 installed.
Please let me know what could be the issue and the solution for the same.

Hello siddharthmishra,
You’re having a problem with the ESC key not working.
Go to device manager and uninstall the keyboard and restart the computer. This should uninstall and reinstall the driver for the keyboard.
Here is a link to device manager.
If the problem has not been happening for very long, you might try a System Restore. This will take the system back to before the problem started happening without affecting any of your files.
Here is a link to a System Restore.
Let me know how everything goes.

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

E3000 Media Server not seen by Windows Media Player (v 12.0) on Win 7

I've enabled the Media Server on my E3000 router. My PS3 can see the server and play media from it by my PCs can't!
I'm using Windows Media Player v 12.0 on Windows 7 and some older version on Windows XP and it's my understanding that the Media Server should appear under the "Other Libraries" section but it does not.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a bug in the E3000 firmware (I have the latest as of this date) or is the Media Server simply not compatible with Windows Media Player?
If it's an incompatibility issue, can someone please point me to a compatible media player for Windows 7?
I did read a post about a firmware upgrade on the 4200 that broke the media player, but I don't know if such a problem exists for the E3000.
Thank you,
Martin.

This is what you can try in getting the Computer to see the media server on the E3000:
(Obviously make sure you have the media server enabled on the router and at least one folder shared....and make sure you have scanned the folder(s))
1) Turn your computer on.
2) Disconnect your external usb drive.
3) Pull the power on the E3000.
4) Connect the external usb drive.
5) Plug the power back into the E3000.
Then see if that works or not.
If the issue still persist then here is the link which may help you: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01832417&tmp_track_link=ot_recdoc/c00859236/en_...

Media Keys Not Working - Apple Wireless Keyboard - Snow Leopard 10.6

Hello, I am a new user to this Support Area and i tried calling but as its Christmas Day i cant get through because there closed so i decided to join here.
Ok basically my problem is that i have a iMac and i recently installed Snow Leopard and on Christmas Day i got a Wireless Apple Keyboard i set it up all went well and got through all the bluetooth process fine except when i went to try use the Media Keys which are Brightness Up/Down, Volume Control, Play/Pause/FastForward and the other two don't know what there called tho when i press any of them they dont work when i press F12 which has a picture of Volume Up it goes to my Widgets thing and when i press F11 which is Volume Down it moves all the current apps out of the desktop like a clearing space function.
I Really would like to have the Media Keys back to how there supposed to be i don't know why it is doing this but i think its Snow Leopard.I Have tried everything possible in System Prefs even removed the keyboard from the Bluetooth paired devices and re paired it but still nothing. It would be mostly appreciated if one you guys could help me soon..
Thanks Sean

Wow! I am in the exact same situation. I don't think it is Snow Leopard tho b/c when I plug my old keyboard back in the media keys work fine. It might have to do with the apple aluminum keyboard 2.0 update but when I try to download that it says my system is unable to support it (eben tho it only requires at least 10.5.8).
If you find a solution let me know.

Media Keys not working

For some reason my media keys (play/pause/fwd/rwd) on my aluminiu keyboard have stopped working.
When I first got the keyboad they didn't work... I installed KeyboardSoftware1.2 and they started working.
But, I'm not sure when or how, they have stopepd working again.
All the other keys (Expose, Brightness etc) work fine.
I have tried reinstalling 10.5.8 combo, repairing permissions, booting in safe mode, repairing disc (from instal dvd), installing and uninstalling sizlingkeys (this allowed me to apply custom settings to other keys, but not to the media keys)....nothing helped!
I can't reinstall the KeyboardSoftware update... as it thinks itis already installed... I tried to bypass it with Pacifist, and this caused a right mess (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2360985&stqc=true) which I still haven't sorted either.
Any ideas??
Cheers

Well...
I took the plunge and did a full Archive & Instal (without copying my files/settings over).
This solved both the Media/Play keys issues... and the weird Save dialogue issue.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2360985&tstart=0
However, I consider this as a work around, as I never really found out what caused the issues in the first place!
Oh well....
The only reason I held off doing the Archive and Install in the first place is because it is quite time consuming, especially with a heavily customised Library folders... and I just didn't want to go through the hassle of reinstalling everything!
Hmmm... at least it is sorted.
I guess I should probably get a new graphics card as well due to that error that showed...?

Apple Wireless Keyboard - Shift + 'r' key not working. It doesn't capitalise the letter. Can someone help please. Thank you.

Hi all,
I am having some problem with the Apple Wireless Keyboard. It has not problem connecting to both my iPad mini / iPhone 4S.
The problem comes when I start to type with it. All the keys are functioning will, except when I am trying to capitalise the letter 'r'.
I tried using Shift + r. It doesn't work, regardless whether I use the left or right Shift key.
Any someone help please. Thank you.

If your Macbook is less than a year old, it is under warranty. A repair of of a problem of this kind would be free. So, if you have a warranty, have the problem fixed by Apple.
If your Macbook is more than one year old, please tell us what operating system you are running, and any other information that would help understand what is going on.
If you do get the keyboard to work for a short time, long enough to post back, please unlock the "caps lock" button.

Keyboard letter/number keys not working; Function keys OK

The function keys on my Bluetooth AND USB keyboard work, but none of the letters or numbers work, so I can't log-in in the appropriate field. I can move the icon with the mouse, (Bluetooth or USB) I've tried 2 keyboards, one USB the other Bluetooth, but I can't get past the log-in screen cos the letters & numbers don't respond. I can adjust the brightness using F1 & F2, and I can adjust the volume with F11 & F12.
Luckily I have this MacBook Air!
It started off as a hardware issue where I couldn't even start up. Also I can't get a hardware test to run to completion (you know, switch on whilst pressing D). Strange that the D key works for this! Also it seems Option/Command/R/P sometimes works for a reset paramter RAM (PRAM); (sounds like a baby should be in there! ;-)). So the R & P work at Startup; therefore plus D key, but beyond, nothing. My log-in includes lower case r or d.
Beyond that letters/numbers do not work.
I have since tried a Safe Boot where you press the Shift key as soon as the start-up sound is heard. And since then I've not even got to the log-in screen! What's going on? It's like there's a 2013 phenomenon.
Any ideas anyone?
Jonathan

Do 2-3 SMC resets, doing just one does not always work. If the resets fail then try another keyboard and if those keys work then you know the original keyboard needs to be replaced. Follow the directions in:
Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets

Hi...
Pull the battery now and place the phone in a bag of rice to dry it out...
Here is another link on wet blackberries...
If the phone is already dried out, you can send the phone out and have it repaired at the component level.
There are several services that can do this. One is the bbrepairshop in Houston.

Liquid spill on keyboard. Certain keys not working. Any inexpensive repair? re

Water spill on the keyboard of my Mac Book Air. Now certain keys not functioning. A Mac friend suggested submerging in rice upside down to dry out. Didn't work. Warranty expired. Help!

Yes, the "magic rice trick" doesnt work.
inexpensive repair? No.
Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement.

Media keys not working MacBook Pro 17"

Just today my media keys are no longer working to control iTunes (F7 thru F10). I've unable too check the keyboard settings in system preferences because it crashed when I try and open it. I have rebooted twice and repaired permissions.

I had a eureka moment this morning- Google Play Music basically hijack my media keys. So long as Chrome is open, the keys seem to be wired to the play store (they work normally, skipping, pausing and playing). If I quit Chrome, the keys work as normal with iTunes, opening and moving through the tracks.
I don't know whether this information helps but it certainly seems to answer my problem.

Satellite A350-214 media keys not working

After upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 the feather touch media keys are not working.The bluetooth perpheral device drivers are also missing.Pl help...

Try downloading the Windows 7 drivers. You can get them from here:
http://support.toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows7/download/Satellite_A350_32_cae.htm
The buttons are controlled by Toshiba Value added software. There is a bluetooth stack you may need to install. You may want to add the rest of the windows 7 drivers. The display and sound drivers will give you additional HDMI support that the native driver does not support.
Good luck
