Tab & Backspace Keys are changing my screen brightness how do I change this?

I have an iMac that I have had for a couple of years. Suddenly the backspace key and tab key are adjusting the screen brightness and I can't seem to change this, any ideas why this has happened and how I just get screen brightness adjusted by using F1 & F2 keys? I have tried kedyboard shortcuts from system preferences but this doesn't seem to make any difference. Any help really appreciated

As far as I know the language of the two stores on the iPad (iTunes and the App Store) can't be changed - they should be in the language of the country where your account is based (if they aren't correct then try logging out of your account by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in).

    live with it.  Or you can bring it in to a 3rd party repair shop and see what they say.  However, anyone other than Apple touching that phone will void the warranty and any support on that phone forever.

    I am unable to change my screen brightness using the fn+F2/fn+F3 keys. I understand that it can still be adjusted differently but I want this way to work. Also whenever I change my volume using the fn+F7/fn+F8/fn+F9 keys, the little on-screen display doesn't pop-up any more. I would like to fix this and any help would be greatly appreciated.

    How to change the screen brightness on a macbook?
    My Macbook is a May 2010 model in white
    I am looking how to change the brightness using the keyboard, because I know how to change it using System Pres

    The F1 and F2 keys control brightness.  Depending on how you have your function keys set up, you may have to also hold down the fn key to activate.

  • Random changes in screen brightness every few minutes (while working)

    I am beginning to become unhappy with my new Thinkpad Twist. The laptop was just delivered and no changes to the setup were made.
    The screen brightness changes while I use the device in an unpredictable way which is just annoying to me.
    I prefer to work with full screen brightness and disabled the energy saving settings that would dim the screen after some minutes of inactivity. Still the screen just dims from time to time (also while I a am working) and also changes back to full brightness in a similarly unpredictable way. Those changes in brightness might take some minutes between them...
    Do you have any ideas what software settings I should consider?
    Also, the laptop appears to have an ambient light sensor. Could those changes in screen brightness be related to this sensor? FYI: Light conditions remained the same, no turning on or off the lights. Covering the position of the sensor did not induce any reaction.
    Any ideas?
    Solved!

    Took me a while to find this but I believe this is the order of menus, links and drop downs to get to this feature.

  • I just upgraded to lion on my intel macbook.  I would like to change my facetime alert to something different than a phone ring and, I would like to be able to have full screen.  How do I do this?

    I just upgraded to lion on my intel macbook.  I would like to change my facetime alert to something different than a phone ring and, I would like to be able to have full screen.  How do I do this?

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • I changed my "View" to Full Screen..How do I change it back since the Menu Bar with "View" is no longer available in "Full Screen" ?? I tried Esc but that does not work ..

    I used the VIEW tab at the top left to change my View to "Full Screen".
    Now I cannot access the VIEW tab to change it back. How do I change it back so that that Menu will show at the top of my screen??

    Some choices:
    # F11 toggle Full Screen
    # Move mouse up through the top of the screen to menu bars, if you show them
    # "Alt+V" -- to bring up the View Menu

  • I pressed something, and it made the browser go into a "full screen" mode, how do I change it back? And also, something happened and made my FireFox text on all internet pages smaller, is there any way I could change this setting?

    I had pressed a button on my keyboard which made my text and pictures and the whole page smaller in size, can I change that? And how could I change my browser out of "Full Screen" mode?

    You can press F10 to toggle (View) Full Screen mode.

    Can I safely send the Word Office icons and anything else related to it that shows up in spotlight to the trash?
    You mean for Office apps? That, I don't know for sure as I don't use MS Office on my Mac. I would check to see if there is some sort of MS Office uninstaller that needs to be run before dragging the icons to Trash. Either from one of the Office apps Help or About or search the Internet for a solution.
    EDIT: A quick Google search found this link which may help you.

    My Apple TV responds to my remote by flashing, but nothing changes on screen. How do I fix it?

    Howdy there Nick,
    Greet
    I would recommend these 2 troubleshooting steps.
    First, reset the Apple TV with this process:
    Restarting your Apple TV without a remote
    You can also reset your Apple TV by unplugging it from the power source for thirty seconds.

    I'm in the U.K. but my icloud emails are U.S. time stamped, how can I change this?

    Hi foxie-d,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.
    iCloud: If email shows the wrong time
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2644
    When you send or receive email, the time it was sent or received appears in the email header (the information at the top of the email). If the time shown in your email header is incorrect, you need to change the time zone setting for your iCloud account.
    Change the time zone on iCloud.com
    Click your account name, then choose Account Settings.
    Click Time Zone, then click a time zone on the map.
    You can also click the time zone name below the map, then choose a time zone from the pop-up menu.
    Click Done.
    You need to log out of iCloud, then log back in to see the changed time zone in iCloud Mail.
    Happy New Year!
    - Judy
