Sound and brightness buttons don't work, any suggestions?

Hi guys,
I just bought a MacBook Pro, and I can't control the volume and the bightness by the keyboard button. Do to so, I have ti to it by the icones in the top bar.
How can I set these hotkeys on my keyboard? Any suggestions?
Thank you and happy new year.

I've had this same problem, but when I am using "Parallels" to run windows programs on my new Macbook Air, with an external Mac LED Cinema Display, the brightness keys on the external apple keyboard do not work.  Sound seems to work fine.  They work fine in Mac mode. 
Any solutions?

  • Volume and brightness buttons don't work anymore

    I did a complete restore from factory DVD and since then the volume and brightness buttons don't work anymore.  I have an All-in-One AE1900.  Anybody can help me fix this problem?  Since I do not have the original keyboard anymore, I can't use the hot key combination to do it.  Thanks for your help.

  • On/off Button and brightness buttons don't work in the Apple Cinema Display

    I write you because I bought a new apple cinema display 20" a month ago and I have problems with the on and off button and the brightness buttons. Thew work sometimes. I think that te problem is windows XP but I am not sure. My graphics card is a ATI RADEON X800 GT Gecube 256 Mb DDR2.
    Would yo mind telling me how can repair that? If I need something to repair o it is better to buy the new windows to avoid that problem.

    Thank you very much. I didn't know this driver.
    But the problem was when I was installing this driver, Windows said that it's imcompatible with windows XP.Is this normal? o I need to download a special edition for windows xp.

  • Sound and brightness buttons dont work anymore

    my sound and brightness buttons dont work any more unless I hold down the function button. This happened after I downloaded the new update I think. Is there any key combination that I could have hit that made this happen?

    Go to System Preferences->KeyBoard & Mouse->KeyBoard and make sure "Use the F1-F12 keys to control software featues" is off. It probably got turned on somehow by the update.

  • IPad 2 Rotation, Sleep, and Volume Buttons Don't Work.

    I have an iPad 2 running 7.1.1 (11D201) and just yesterday the sleep sleep and volume buttons don't work, and the screen won't rotate at all.  I have already tried the following:
    Switched the Lock Rotation/Mute settings in General
    Power cycling it
    Held the sleep and menu button to reset it (the button worked for that at least)
    Done a network reset
    Reset All Settings and restored from backup
    Reset All Settings and restored from iCloud
    Erase All Content and Settings and restored from backup
    Erase All Content and Settings and restored from iCloud
    If anyone has any OTHER suggestions besides what I've already tried, I am all ears.  Thanks.

    Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • My Microsoft Intellimouse back and forward buttons don't work in Firefox, but they do in IE and in Windows Explorer. It used to work, now it just stopped. Why and how can I fix this?

    Forward and back buttons don't work in Firefox but do everywhere else.

    Make sure that you set those buttons to the default action in your mouse driver software (Control Panel > Mouse or specific Intellimouse driver software).

  • My earphones mic and volume buttons don't work ever since the iOS 8.1 update! Please help me. One discussion person says they bought a new pair and THEY don't work either. What do I do? I'm about to have a breakdown!

    I rely heavily on my earphones because well... I'm lazy but they don't work. They work on my friend's iPhone who hasn't updated yet but I've updayed and the mic and volume buttons don't work. Please make a correct update!

    Nope, still same problem. I did an install, didn't work. Then I completely removed my IDT driver, restarted, installed the driver, restarted, same problem.
    When I troubleshoot my audio it always asks me which one to troubleshoot. It only works if I do one of the "Speakers / HP - IDT" but I don't know why it has so many devices listed with the same name.
    Also, after I troubleshoot and I can hear audio, if I go to "Manage audio devices" it still shows that no audio device is installed, which is why the webinars won't work.

    1. eco utility is not working, and when i tried to uninstall it it says (BIOS unsupported)
    2. the on screen funtion buttons that appear on the top of the screen when you press the Fn button does not apear anymore
    3. the touchpad lock and unlock button does not work and even pressing Fn+F9 doesnot lock it
    I hope u can give me an answer regarding my problems,
    I already downloaded the latest updates for the eco and value added packege from toshiba site and installed them,
    BUT
    didnt solve any of my prob

    Thanx in advance

    Hello
    At first just one comment:
    *I am updating my laptop regularly whenever i receive alert through TEMPRO or Toshiba service center.*
    Thats nice but definitely not necessary. When the system runs well, don't touch or change anything. Maybe sounds stupid now but I recommend you to remove TEMPRO from the system. Believe me you don't need it. I have 2 years old Satellite A300 and still original BIOS. It runs perfectly and I don't want to make risk and change anything. Since last month I have Satellite U500-1EX and will do the same. Tempro is already removed and I am happy with factory settings.
    All you have done is OK but at least you can try to reinstall whole OS now using HDD recovery option (F8 at start-up) to see if everything will works well again. sorry but if this will not help I think you need BIOS downgrade to old version.

  • "Archive" and "View" buttons don't work after folio update

    Hi all,
    I have a subscription to the professional edition and I have built a custom viewer app for Android. I have built about 10 folios and at first download all is ok, the folios are displayed without problems and the app works fine except for one issue: "Archive" button don't work, when I tap on it, near folio cover, nothing happens, the folio does not disappear from folios list.
    But the serious problem occurs when I perform a folio update from Folio Producer ('Update content' from adobe dashboard DPS): both "Archive" and "View" buttons stop working, nothig happens when I tap tap on them and I am forced to uninstall and reinstall the application on tablet (.apk file) to see folio changes in my custom viewer.
    This is very annoying as well as time expensive.
    Tablet is Samsun Galaxy Tab SII with Android 3.2.
    Any help is appreciated.

    To the best of my knowledge, the SII is a smartphone and not a tablet device, and the official claim is (correct me if I'm wrong) that DPS on Android is corrently tablet only.
    Anyway, it seems strange to me so checked and found out that even though the DPS apps are not available when you search for them in the Play Market of a smartphone you can still force load them to the phone and run them.
    I've done it on both a Samsung SIII running Android 4.0.4 and a Samsung GT-I9070 running Android 2.3.6 (I currently don't have a device running Android 3.2)
    The interface is so small that it's hardly possible to use it, but it works.

  • Scroll bar, back/forward buttons and home buttons don't work

    I use Windows 7 and Firefox 6.0.1. The navigation buttons don't respond to mouseover and work only if the menu bar is selected.
    I don't want the menu bar because it reduces screen space. How can I get those buttons to work without the menu bar?

    Sounds like you have a corrupt '''places.sqlite''' file or corrupt '''localstore.rdf'''. Please see these articles which explain how to resolve the problem:<br><br>

  • Mouse back and forward buttons don't work

    I have a Dell wireless bluetooth mouse. I installed Safari 4, and I like it a lot. I am thinking of ditching IE, but the back and forward buttons on my mouse don't do anything in Safari. It's very frustrating having to click the back button on screen instead of directly on my mouse. The buttons work perfectly in IE and in Windows explorer. I reinstalled the mouse drivers, but to no avail. Any ideas?

    Did u get any software for your mouse? What brand is your mouse? I have Logitech setpoint software, where I can adjust mouse profile, setup mouse buttons action... I also have option (checkbox) to make my mouse use windows generic settings (the one you have in Control Panel under mouse section.
    Now, this is just an idea, but it's good start point.
    What you can also do (if you have such software installed) to uninstall it, restart, and see if Safari back/forward will work. Maybe this software (for some bizarre reason) conflicts Safari default action (as you said you don't have such problem in Fx)
    Let me know if this worked for you.
    Cheers,
    Miki
    EDIT: Before you do all this, maybe it's easier for you (if possible) to try another mouse, to see if you have same issues or not
