Volume and brightness keys not working with new keyboard on imac

I just purchased a new wired keyboard for imac and brightness and volume control keys not working . i have tried adjusting keyboard settings. I have software version 10.5.8. Do I need to upgrade software. Thank you for any help.

Do you have "Automatically Adjust Brightness" check box ticked in System Preferences > Displays > Display ? If so, you can't manually adjust brightness.

    Hi
    Why do you think that the motherboard is ok?
    Maybe its a keyboard controller issue
    Did you check if the cable was connected properly?
    In my opinion if you are 100% sure that the keyboard is ok then the issue must be related to the motherboard because there is no other part which is placed between the keyboard and mobo.
    Bye

  • Using shift key not working with bluetooth keyboard

    Am I missing something here? Or does the shift key not work with the iphone using a bluetooth keyboard?  I'm using the logitech K810 for reference on iphone 6 iOS 8.1

    The shift key works just fine on my Bluetooth keyboard.  So I would imagine this is an issue with your keyboard.

  • Sound Volume and Eject Keys Not Working

    I installed 10.4.3 from the DVD on a G4. After the installation the sound keys (volume up, down and mute) and the eject key on the Apple Pro keyboard no longer work. They also don't show up on the Keyboard Viewer.
    Anyone have a fix for this?

    I found some info on another website that indicated that having an outdated version of USBOverdrive can cause problems like this. I checked and sure enough I had that installed (I think my son did it and didn't tell anybody - not unusual...). I downloaded the newest version of USBOverdrive and the keyboard problem went away.

  • '{' Key not working with Apple Keyboard in Windows & Visual Studio

    Good morning,
    I've been bugged by this forever now and tried it with Windows XP, Vista and 7 now on my macPro & (the latest version of) Bootcamp: I can type the { and } brackets just fine in most windows apps (e.g. start > run etc), but in visual studio, for some reason the 'ctrl + alt + 7' (for the '{') does result in the whole line being commented with // instead of the expected opening '{'. 'ctrl + alt + 0' ('}') does however work just fine.
    Now I am really not sure why this is happening, but it's the same for VS2008 and the VS2010 beta and developing in C# without a proper '{' combo is somewhat.. difficult
    Has anyone ever come across the same behavior and knows what to do?
    Cheers and thanks,
    -J

  • Ten key not working with wireless keyboard

    Hello everybody,
    Does anybody know how to configure the wireless keyboard, so the ten keys will work?? It frezzes my laptop everytime I active any of the these keys...
    Thanks!
    Enriqueta.

    what kind of keyboard, Apple brand or some other?
    also what are "ten keys" - function keys, number keys?
    usually no configuration should be required once the keyboard is recognized,
    keyboard is not supposed to cause your system to freeze.

  • Re: Qosmio F50-12J - FN key not working with new Value Added Package

    Hi,
    I have Toshiba Qosmio F50-12J and have trouble with Value Added Package v 1.2.28.
    I can't get the flash cards to work. When I press FN key nothing happens. BTW, I installed VAP on freshly installed Windows 7 64 bit. With the previuos version of VAP that I tried on Windows 7, KeNotify.exe was crashing. Now there is no apparent crash, but nothing happens.
    Also, there is a problem with the Button Support utility (touch sensitive controls). Whenever I reboot my system, all the white illumiation LEDs on my laptop are lit although I turned them off.
    So, could someone confirm that they have a working Value Added Package v 1.2.28 on Windows 7 64bit ?

    Hi buddy,
    Your posting is a little bit confusing and in my opinion you make something wrong. My Qosmio F50 runs pretty good on Windows 7 and I dont have any problems with the FN keys, illumination buttons or other function.
    First of all make sure that all drivers are installed!!! I mean chipset, graphic, sound, etc. Check the device manager and if you can find unknown devices or yellow exclamation marks download the missing drivers on the Toshiba page.
    The Button Support Utility has nothing to do with Flash Cards support utility. So before you make something wrong, please uninstall Toshiba Value Added Package and Flash Card Supports Utility. Restart the notebook after uninstallation and clean the registry using CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/). If you have clean the registry, restart the notebook again.
    Now you should install newest Toshiba Value Added Package. Restart again.
    Install Flash Cards Support Utility for Vista. Restart again.
    Now you should check if it works or not.
    Sorry but thats all what I can say. I dont have any problems on my Qosmio F50 and Windows 7.

  • Video and Screen Sharing not working with new modem

    I give up. Just replaced my old dead Motorola DSL modem with a new Motorola 2210-02 DSL Modem and now iChat video and screen sharing aren't working. I am running 10.5.7, have an Airport Extreme, and 2 computers with cameras (a G5 with an iSight, a Macbook Pro with built in camera) and both worked fine before the modem switch. iChat works, just not video or screen sharing. I have 3 or so friends that I used to be able to video chat with regularly before the modem swap. Spent 3 hours and $50.00 on Apple support with no results. Also talked with my provider (AT&T/Yahoo) and they were no help. Anyone?

    Hi,
    This Motorola is a branded Netopia device (Motorola Own them now)
    Default access info is near the top of this page
    Turn the Firewall Off or to Low as Medium an High have things that interfere with iChat. (Make sure the Stateful Packet Inspection is OFF)
    Check all the tabs across the top and the menus down the side of each page to see if it has UPnP (most likely in Local Network but could be anywhere)
    The pics will show you if it is doing DHCP
    The Airport settings are in Airport Utility and on the Internet iCon screen where it says "Share a Public IP" in the bottom drop down.

  • 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

    I had an iphone 4s and it worked nice with facetime and imessage using my phone number but  it was stolen on December so I buy a new iphone 4s using the same cellphone number  but now imessage and facetime does not work with my number, it only works with my apple ID.   Please Help me I speak Spanish so  if my English is not ok  I´m sorry about it.
    Do you think that apple has to   reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s?? 

    I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more.  I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
    Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......

  • Volume and Brightness Keys

    I have problems using the volume and brightness keys on my keyboard. I've been using these shortcuts on my keyboards without pressing fn before. Nonetheless, all these keys didn't work all of a sudden, even if I try to press fn+f1/f2/f10/f11/f12.
    I tried to restore the window system back to some other days and those keys work out fine. I just want to fix this problem. I want to only have to press f11 to change the volume just like the OS system does!
    Please help It's so inconvenient!!!

    Thanks for your reply. It is true that the diamond icon does not run upon startup anymore. It used to run automatically whenever I start my window. I tried to run MSCONFIG but it shows that the keybrdmanage.exe is running.
    Nonetheless, I tried to go RUN and choose the bootcamp file and under that file there is a keyboardmanger.exe file and once I click those keys work fine again. Is there a way to auto run bootcamp by itself so that I don't have to run all these steps again? I tried to choose always show the bootcamp icon in the task bar but unfortunately it doesnt work. =[
    Can you please tell me what to do?
