Volume Up/Down/Mute/Media Eject Keys: How do I make them work again?!

So this is ridiculous. I feel like I OUGHTA know how to do this, but somehow it's eluding me! I'm on a PowerPC G5 running Tiger 10.4.11, and I have one of the white 'Pro' keyboards attached. For whatever reason, the bank of buttons on the upper right (volume down/up/mute/Media Eject) are not working, and I can't seem to find anything in the keyboard preferences pane that would indicate controlling their function!
Can anybody fill me in on the really obvious and dumb thing I'm overlooking here?

It was because the keyboard was going into a USB 1 port before reaching the machine!

I wake up, unhibernate my laptop and suddenly I can't scroll by hitting the space bar, or clicking on the scroll bar itself, or even use the scroll arrows. In other programs it works fine. What happened and how do I fix this?

My iMessages don't work since updating. It says the Messages database is being upgraded, please wait while it finishes or Quit Messages and relaunch it later. How do I get them working again?

My iMessages don't work since updating. It says the Messages database is being upgraded, please wait while it finishes or Quit Messages and relaunch it later. How do I get them working again?

Back up all data.
Quit Messages if it’s running. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it and test after each of the following steps. If the problem isn't resolved, quit again and go on to the next step.
Step 1
Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access 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 and start typing the name.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked
          Keep login keychain unlocked
is not checked, check it.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain.
From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select My Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them is marked with a red "X" as expired or invalid, delete it. Also delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name, whether valid or not.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ Certificates
There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to CRL.
Log out and log back in.
Step 2
Hold down the option key and select
          Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (some may not exist):
          Containers/com.apple.corerecents.recentsd
          Caches/com.apple.Messages
          Caches/com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent
          Containers/com.apple.iChat
          Containers/com.apple.soagent
          IdentityServices
Leave the Library folder open. Log out and log back in.
Step 3
Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
          Messages
Note: you are not moving the Messages application. You’re moving a folder named “Messages.”
If Messages now works, delete the Messages folder on the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Messages again. Put back the folder you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place.
Step 4
In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with any of the following strings:
          com.apple.iChat
          com.apple.ids
          com.apple.imdsmsrecordstore
          com.apple.imessage
          com.apple.imservice
Move them all to the Desktop. There may also be a file with the name "com.apple.imagent.plist". Move that to the Trash.
Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
Log out and log back in. Test again. This time Messages should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes Messages to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Messages again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the items you moved to the Trash. Stop here and post your results.
If you later decide that you don’t like the results of Steps 3 and 4, you can undo them completely by quitting Messages and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup.

How can I make Java work again

Java went down on all Apple products last week, but how do I make it work again? I have, let me repeat that, I HAVE to use java for work. I have 2 programs that are essential to my work and they are currently not working causing me to either use a PC or not get work done. The timing was interesting considering I was planing on buying new Macbook Pros and Macs for our office. However, if this is something that can and will happen with no way to fix it I might have to consider PC. Why didn't Apple give us the option to disable and not just disable without even giving us a warning. I didn't get an e-mail or pop up or anything that said "hey Java will not be working due to..." Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!
Today i read news that there were new patch files from java and apple turned it on again

Hello, my main button has stopped working .. how do I make it work again?

Hello,
my main button has stopped working.. how do I make it work again?
thank you

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

All of my purchased apps (games) and apps such as Weight Watchers, Facebook, WeatherBug, Sports and Pinterest, Notes, Nook, etc. are all locked up. They simply flash, then nothing! How can I fix this to make them work again.

First Issue: All of my purchased apps (games) and apps such as Weight Watchers, Facebook, WeatherBug, Sports and Pinterest, Notes, Nook, etc. are all locked up. They simply flash, then nothing! How can I fix this to make them work again? If I have to delete the purchased apps, will they still be in iTunes, or will I have to re-purchase them?
Second Issue: When I synced to my desktop (Windows XP) All my photos loaded onto my iPad2. I don't really want all 3000 + pics on my ipad!! How do I get them off? Next time I synced, they loaded again! Now I have so many duplicates! How do I get rid of the photos and prevent this from happening again?

If none of your third-party apps are working, but the Apple built-in ones are ok, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted. In terms of re-downloading apps then you can do so as long as they are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For synced photos, then with the iPad connected to and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, then on the Photos tab on the right-hand side you can control which photos are synced to the iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 . If you don't want any photos to be synced then try selecting just an empty folder.

I have pages and keynote on my iPad, how to i make them work on mac air i have bought later

i have Pages and Keynote, and others of course, on my iPad, how to i make them work on mac air i have bought recently ?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The iPad uses iOS, and your MacBook Air uses OS X, which are different operating systems with different apps.
iWork apps (Keynote, Pages and Numbers) have got two version: for OS X and for iOS. You already purchased Keynote and Pages for iOS, so you can install them in all your iPhones, iPads and iPods touch for free, but not in the MacBook Air, because the iOS version isn't supported. You have to buy Keynote and Pages for OS X in the Mac App Store for your MacBook Air.
To access to the Mac App Store, press its icon in the Dock or go to  > App Store

Image capture won't recognize my ScanSnap iX500. How do I make them work together?

Image capture won't recognize my ScanSnap iX500. How do I make them work together?

To use Image Capture you need an ICA driver for your scanner. Checking the Fujitsu web site for drivers for the iX500 I only see a ScanSnap manager for OS X. No mention of an ICA driver. So you may need to contact your local Fujitsu support.

You may want to download and read the manual for your phone. It may answer a lot of the basic questions.

There is an app on your phone called "Mail". Yes, it's for reading your email.
Best of luck.

After doing this my iPhone got stoke in the loading circle. How can I make it work again?

Try connecting it to your computer and restoring it by going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking on Restore (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414). If that doesn't work you'll have to put it into recovery mode and restore it, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

I have a canon multifunction printer that used to work with snow leopard but since I updated to mountain lion my printer stop working, How do I make it work again?

I have a canon multifunction printer that used to work with snow leopard but since I updated to mountain lion it stoped working. How do I make it work again?

This problem is not unheard of when upgrading from Snow Leopard. It is usually solved by completely deleting the existing printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan, and adding it again.

TS4225 I have just shifted to iOS 7 but i believe i lost the audio output through the earphone terminal. How do I make it work again?

How do I make it work again? I tried with the apple earphones provided and the stereo jack in my car, both didn't seem to work. The thing is, if functioning normally, after I insert the earphone jack in the terminal, the sound from the speaker should disappear and be rerouted to the earphones, this didn't happen.
Shall I reset my iphone?

it's not ios7 it's not software it's a hardware issue
