Volume keys don't work anymore after Gnome 2.26 upgrade

I have two pc: a desktop and a laptop. The desktop doesn't have this problem. While on the laptop, a sony vaio fz21s, after the recent gnome 2.26 upgrade, the volume keys don't work. The osd appears on the screen but no change in volume is observed. Through the gnome-volume-applet i set "Principal" as main device. Controlling the volume with the gnome-volume-applet works.

New wireless keyboard & volume keys don't work

I just replaced my wireless keyboard because a few of the keys stopped working. Now the volume keys don't work on the new one. When I push them one of them brings up my widgets and the others minimize the screen. Any Ideas?

Put truly fresh batteries in the keyboard.
Un-pair and re-pair the keyboard with the computer.
Attempt the PRAM reset again.
If you do not get the 2 boot chimes then I would suggest you reset using a USB keyboard. Any USB keyboard will do. If you don't get the 2 chimes when using a USB keyboard then either you are not holding down the keys correctly / early enough or there is something wrong with the computer itself.
If you do get the 2 boot chimes you can then go back to the wireless keyboard and re-pair it.
Take a peak at this article. It is fairly exhaustive in troubleshooting suggestions for this type of issue: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3048
Hope that helps.

Video's on apple site don't work anymore after Lion. Help?

Hi,
I have a macbook pro, a ipad(1) and iphone 4. You could say I like Apple products. Temted by the advertising I upgraded my operating system to Lion. Now I have problems with some apps that don't work properly anymore and I can't make back-ups on my NAS (Lacie NetworkSpace 2) because Time Machine can't communicate anymore with my NAS. Problems that will probably be solved within weeks or months (that's what Lacie helpdesk says). Let's hope that nothing bad happens in the meantime, because I cannot make back-ups anymore and time capsule is not working anymore.
Now to my question. I discovered another bug after installing Lion. Visiting the apple.com site with my Macbook Pro I tried to look at a video on this site but the video doesn't start. When I use my iPad I can watch these video's. Also video's in iTunes work on my Macbook. Only the turorial or explanation video's on the apple site don't work anymore. Does somebody know how I can solve this problem?
I am still a happy Apply user but Lion disappoints a bit (untill now). A lot of people have problems I read. Let's hope the guys at Apple and other firms will solve them all very swiftly. For the time being I would not advise you to upgrade to Lion.
Peter.

Sounds like you need to restore your Apple TV to factory settings.
See this Apple document:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4367
You will need to use the "Micro USB Cable" to restore it to factory settings.
See the article shown above.
You must unplug the power cord before connecting the ATV to your computer....

Volume keys don't work

The wired keyboard volume keys eventually stop working on with a new Mac Pro (quad core) running 10.6.4 and with external speakers (JBL Duet) selected in Sound preferences. Menu bar volume control continues to work. Problem is temporarily fixed by switching to internal speakers, then back. It appears to be a bug. Posting this so that other users might benefit.

Thanks! I have the exact same problem... and the fix was immediate.
So no doubt it's something for Apple to look into... hopefully.

Keyboard volume keys don't work after waking from sleep

This problem has existed for many months on my 2009 Mac Pro. I'm running 10.6.3. The problem is reproducible 100% of the time. I use external speakers. Sound output is set to "Line Out."
1. Boot machine. External speakers work fine. Volume keys on keyboard (F11, F12) work correctly.
2. Put machine to sleep.
3. After waking from sleep, F11 and F12 no longer control the volume of the external speakers. The "pop" noise when hitting F11 and F12 is emitted from the internal speaker. The mute key (F10) does work for the external speakers, however.
4. The keyboard volume controls become responsive again by switching the sound output from Line Out to another output option and then back to Line Out.
This bug is a huge hassle. Does anyone have a solution?

I have several mid-2009 8-core Mac Pro's, all running Snow Leopard, and all have been having this problem as well.
I will not guarantee this is going to work for anyone else....but we have found a (slightly inelegant) workaround for it that has been working for several weeks now without fail.
Prior to putting your MacPro to sleep, run the volume all the way up and leave it there. Afterwards, put it to sleep as usual. We use the keyboard to do this, but I would imagine any method should have the same affect. However, I've not experimented.
Anyway...this has worked 100% of the time for us. The only downside of it is that you have to remember to run it up before....and then back down after waking (else that first alert sound or music file you play will really wake YOU up!)
If this works for anyone else, let me know.
Apple should never have let this one out the door with this bug. Especially, as Apple Support is....wanting, at best.

App store and safari don't work anymore after maverick upgrade

Hello everybody,
I'm experiencing mysterious problems with app store and safari that I don't really know if it can depend on the installation of maverick (maybe it happened afterwards and I noticed it at a later time).
When I launch app store I have to wait a few seconds for the spinning wheel stopping and nothing happen after. Just green app store window with app store ICON in the middle and nothing else. I've tried to deactivate firewall and to reboot the MAC with cmd+option+P+R without success.
Another strange thing happens with safari. It seems that it won't be able to handle coming html streams from the sites i'm browsing and very often it crashes. I use chrome in place of safari but it annoys me a lot.
I have a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.9.4 (13E28), 2.53 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB RAM DDR3.
Of course I've tried SW update but, since app store doesn't work, I can't complete the action.
Any help ? Would be very apreciated.
Thank you all in advance,
Mauro

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Apple Aluminum Wired Keyboard: Special Keys Don't Work

The keyboard has function keys that are programmed to perform special operations. The Apple website explicitly states:
“The extended layout has a full complement of keys, including document navigation controls, a numeric keypad, and special function keys for Mac features such as brightness, volume, eject, play/pause, Exposé, and more.”
Unfortunately, two of these keys don’t work, even after a special software update is installed:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/keyboardsoftwareupdate11.html
The manual that comes with the keyboard provides instructions on how to program the keyboard, but those instructions either don’t work or are incorrect.
I've posted more about this and other keyboard issues here:
http://web.mac.com/resourcesforlife/journal/writings/Entries/2007/8/21Apple_Aluminum_WiredKeyboard.html

I am using a PowerMac Dual 2.5 GHz G5 system and had trouble with the F3 and F4 function keys. The various suggestions and instructions as provided on several of the discussion threads didn't work for me.
Here's what worked for me to resolve the problem:
1. Go here and download the Pacifist utility which helps in exploring installation packages:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12743
2. Go here and download the Apple OSX update for PowerPC:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10410comboupdateppc.html
OR... get the version for Intel found here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10410comboupdatev11intel.html
3. Using the Pacifist utility, open the OSX Update dmg file you just downloaded. You will be able to navigate to /System/Library/Core Services. Click on Dock.app and click the install button. When it's uncompressed, it will ask if you would like to update or replace. Click replace. There is an option to repeat this response for all files. Complete the process and then exit the Pacifist utility program.
4. Go here and download the Apple Keyboard Software Update:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/keyboardsoftwareup date11.html
5. Install the Keyboard update and all functions should automatically work.
If the above steps resolve the problem for you, please click on the "Solved" button above. Thanks.

Apple Keyboard volume & eject keys don't work

Not sure when it started (within the past week), but my eMac's eject and volume keys aren't working. I tried the following from other threads:
Delete BezelServices plists---all of them
Restart
Log in as different user
Unplug and replug keyboard
Shut down, unplug eMac for a few minutes, boot
Repair Permissions
I don't have USB Overdrive installed, and I checked just in case.
I have a 3rd party SuperDrive installed, but it's been there for several months.
Only thing I might have installed lately is iLife '06 over my old iLife 05.

hi there--
have you tested it removing all peripheral devices?? some things to try-- boot to open firmware holding apple-option-o-f and then type in the following commands--
reset-nvram (hit return)
set-defaults (hit return)
reset-all (hit return)
the last command restarts the computer. if those things don't help, then i would boot to the install disk and run disk repair. make sure it is the tiger install disk. hold c until you a spinning cog under the apple, then once you see the window requesting a language, go forward one window. then go up to the utilities menu at the top of the screen and select "disk utility" then select the macintosh hd, or something else if you have renamed your harddrive. then click repair disk. do this a few times if necessary. after several times it should say "no repairs necessary". let me know if that works out for you.

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.

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?

I have an ancient laptop (from 2005) that has my entire music library. This laptop barely works and some keys don't type anymore. How can I get all this music transferred to another computer, or available to me on the cloud?

No... do not move programs.
About the iTunes library files
Your iTunes library files track the media you add to iTunes, how you've organized it, and other information such as playlists. By default, these two files are in your iTunes folder:
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

Hi Jim,
You're welcome
Is the version of Windows 7 Ultimate you have installed 32bit or 64bit?
Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers - do you see an existing entry for the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC listed here?
There is an alternative IDT Audio driver you may wish to try on the following link.

After the update the Enter key does not work anymore. Neither when I type the url directly, nor when I select it from the history.
In short FF has become unusable. Now I need to install and use a less crappy browser. Extremely sloppy, amateuristic update.
