USB Enhanced Keyboard Media Key always starts Autostart

I bought the USB Enhanced Keyboard today, and am very happy with it, except for 1 single flaw. When the driver is installed, everytime I press the play-key, it does not only start playback in my media player, but it also attempts to autostart whatever CD or DVD happens to be in my optical drive. When I have not installed any drivers, it does not show this behaviour. I have not found any way to remove this setting in the driver, so does anybody know if I overlooked something, or how I can prevent this autostart from happening?
I use Vista Home Premium 64bit
The P/N of my keyboard is: 41A4992
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: For some reason the driver has suddenly started crashing when using the shortcut keys, or even worse, simply not even starting at all. Is there a solution to all this? I like this keyboard, but am starting to consider returning it to the shop, things like this should not happen.

Apple keyboard media keys not working

Yesturday i was trying to trun down the volume in my itunes off my apple keyboard, when i went to do so nothing happend even with the eject button with the cd nor can I make the screen brighter or darker and the dashboard key is on my play key.

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.

Windows 7, Microsoft Keyboard Media Keys (Play/Pause), and iTunes

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and iTunes 9.0.1.8 with Microsoft Intellipoint 7.0 and a Microsoft Keyboard with media keys.
In previous versions of Windows, iTunes, and Intellipoint, pressing the "play/pause" key on the keyboard would play or pause iTunes -- even when iTunes wasn't the active application.
In my current setup, when iTunes is minimized, then the media keys don't control iTunes.
Is this a bug? Is there something I can do to fix the situation?
I've asked Microsoft for help, and they say it looks to be a compatibility issue with iTunes. So, now I'm asking Apple. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I have this same problem, but with Windows XP Pro. It MUST be a iTunes and a Microsoft IntelliType driver issue.
I JUST reinstalled my computer and loaded all new everything and the buttons worked off and on (depending on focus). I don't remember doing anything to make it work last time. The only thing I remember was installing a plug-in so my ATI Remote Wonder worked with iTunes.
I downloaded Chris's dll as suggested. Worked flawlessly. I hope Apple and/or Microsoft fix this in the next release of their software.

ITunes 10.5 and Microsoft keyboard media keys with IntelliType Installed

Hi. I just updated to iTunes 10.5 and the media keys (play/pause, back, and forward buttons -- the latter two of which have been mapped to previous and next track respectively) on my Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 keyboard no longer work when iTunes in minimized. It works fine if iTunes is the active window. I tried installing the latest version of IntelliType (v8.2) and the installation notified me that I already have the latest version. I had no problems with the older version of iTunes (10.4).
Is anyone else having this problem? Any solutions? Thanks in advance!

I managed a different FIX. This is just for Microsoft Multimedia keyboard (I have Microsoft 8000)
I uninstalled Microsoft Intellitype 8.1 that I had and then installed the newer 8.2 Version.
Before I did that I Downgraded to Itunes 10.3 64x like someone else said, but it did not help.
If this fix don't work with Itunes 10.5 then Downgrade like I did, It easier..No copying of files needed.
After you uninstall Itunes 10.5 and Install 10.3, it give you an error for your library.
So you press "SHIFT" and then open ITUNES.
then you go to "My Music\iTunes" folder inside your genereal music folder, it should be there. (WIN 7)
then to "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and you should have a backup or and some kind of old "itunes Library folder" files...you choose one of them and Itunes opens fine with all playlist and everything.
Now everything workd find.
Good luck!
P.S
I after all this this does not work, might be because I installed Itune 10.3 before the new Intellitype 8.2.
So try Uninstalling Intellitype 8.2 again.
Then reinstall it...maybe it does things when Installing...I don't know.

Gaming Keyboards - Media Keys

Are there any gaming keyboards out there that have media keys that work with iTunes in Windows?

Same Problem here. After an autoupdate of iTunes a while ago my Media Keys on my Mac Book Pro as well as on a Windows 8.1 machine with a Cherry keyboard, stoped working.

Wireless Keyboard Function Keys Always On

Hi,
I just started using my wireless keyboard and noticed that the function keys are always activated, making it impossible to turn up/down the volume, etc. How do I go back to regular mode?

check it
"I installed the keyboard update and unchecked "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" in Keyboard & Mouse System Preferences and everything works perfect. This is on a G5 Tower.

Disable aluminum keyboard media keys (F7-F9)?

Hi. I've been a user of Synergy for a couple years now, a program which allows you to control iTunes from the keyboard. It's has a lot of features that I like which aren't available by using the basic functionality of the media control keys on the new aluminum Apple keyboard.
Does anyone know if it's possible to disable the media functionality of the F7, F8 and F9 keys to free them up for use with Synergy? I'm willing to edit .plist files if I have to.

Looks like this was already reported earlier in another thread (but with the white Apple Remote instead of keyboard).

USB 10 key pad and USB Mac Keyboard- 10 key barely works

Where in settings can I go to try and solve the problem of my Targus 10 key usb pad not working on the Mac OS??
There is no driver from Targus. I'm a Mac newb so I need some direction on how to hardware troubleshoot.
FYI.. the 10 key works just fine on the Windows XP side.

If you plug in a USB 10 key keypad and the system tells you it does not recognize your keyboard, you may need to change your keyboard layout.
system preferences > international > input menu > US Extended
I check the box to show the input menu in the menu bar and check both the US and US Extended keyboards, then I can switch between them. The input menu will show up as a flag to the right of the volume. Many foreign language fonts require different keyboard layouts to access all the special characters associated with that language.

Enhancement/Bug? - Email always starts off in "All Inbox"

I have two email accounts set up - one IMAP and one Exchange. When I start the email it always shows me all my inbox messages. I'd like to start it up showing my default (Exchange, in my case) account.
Is this possible? If so, it's a bug or I'm missing something. If not, can I have it as a feature enhancement?

Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

As with any "default", please give an option to turn it off. That's good user management.

Aluminum Keyboard Media Keys Question

I just got a new Logitech M500 mouse to replace the $15 Dynex mouse I was using prior and I have had a slight problem with the button mapping.
What I want to do is set one of the buttons on the mouse to perform the same action as the play/pause button on my aluminum keyboard.
When I set the button to "F8" all it does is push the non fn modified F8. It does this regardless of whether or not I have the use "F1, F2, etc. as standard function keys" option selected.
What would probably work best would be to map another key on the keyboard to perform the Play/Pause action of "fn F8" but I have searched extensively and have not seen anyway to do this. Is it even possible?

Looks like this was already reported earlier in another thread (but with the white Apple Remote instead of keyboard).

Mapping media keys on G5 keyboard

Hi Mac Pro folks
I am not sure how many Mac users today still prefer using the old, big G5 keyboard, anyway I am one of them. The first thing to start using my brand new Mac Pro was to pair it with my G5 keyboard over Bluetooth.
However, the G5 keyboard does not have the media keys like those on today's Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad. The media keys are very convenient as they are always workable even you are not operating iTunes.
Is there a way to map these media keys to some of F keys on my G5 keyboard?
Thanks,
B

I tried to add F8 as Play for iTunes but it did not work.
Moreover, does Application based mean the key won't work once iTunes window is not the current active window?
What I am expecting is to get the media keys (always workable even iTunes not in the active window) mapped to a few Function keys. Any hints please?

N93 new firmware and media key

Ok, I asked this in the software update forum, but to no avail and i hope someone can answer me in here
I recently upgraded my N93 firmware to V20.
Now I've noticed that before the upgrading I could press and hold the media key to access the musicplayer instantly and after the upgrade when I press and hold the media key it starts the catalog download function.
I want to know if this was intended to act this way and if I could (and more importantly: how!) reassign the media key back to access the musicplayer with only press and hold.

i dont think he is holding down the key...maybe just pressing it...i also used a friends N93 and it has the same problem...sorry Nokia considers these things "feature"
im not sitting and waiting for 85.8mb to download again....i'll just sell my N93 and keep the N93i which by the way
1.takes better photos
2.No black and white recording in night video mode
3.Better display
4.battery lasts(shockingly) as long as the N93
5.auto focus in video mode
6.no crashing(as yet)
7.better build
8.can use the outer screen to take self potriats(reflection)
9.better "looking" phone
10.no fw problems
what i dont understand is how the N93i and N93 are the same phone only a few minor adjustments and Nokia cant seem to get the N93 working but the N93i is great....cant they apply the same fw on N93i to N93?
