confused F11 keyboard

My configuration: iMac (mid-2015)

with Bluetooth keyboard.

BUG: function keys are confused!

When I press F11 to reduce the volume, something happens: all windows are minimized?

I tried with another Mac bluetooth keyboard: exactly.

Thus, it is not the keyboard, but the iMac... but WHAT?

BOB

System Preferences > keyboard. Uncheck the box use all F1...

  • Confusion of keyboard.

    I use my S10-2 primarily as a jukebox.  Imagine my surprise when I tried to go online to discover that when the SHIFT key is used to type in my email address '@' will not appear. Instead, I get a blur "-[quotation marks].  Also along the line to key in numbers there is sign sharp No. just a #.   These musical chairs are confusing me. What is the problem, more welcome advice/ideas. Thank you in advance.

    You have your keyboard value US instead of UK driver. You can change it in Control Panel, the region and language - in the keyboard tab.

  • Install Win 8 keeping the recovery OEM partitions

    Hello

    I recently bought a new HP Pavilion Sleekbook and it came with Windows 8 x 64 installed. Thing is that I use to make a clean install with the original disc of MS, mainly to get rid of all the bloatware of OEM pre-installed. Problem is I want to be able to use the OEM recovery partition to restore the computer to its factory condition any time.
    When I start my install Win 8, here is the partition table:
    Part 1 WINRE recovery 400 MB
    System part 2 without label 260 MB
    Part 3 untagged 128 MB MSR (reserved)
    Part 4 GB 674,4 unlabeled primary
    Part 5 RECOVERY 23.5 GB OEM (reserved)
    Question is which one of theses are safe to delete in order to keep things HP Recovery and the mechanism of F11 keyboard shortcut?
    My guess is that the part 2 3 and 4 are those that creates a normal installation of WIN 8, right? These would be the ones I want to erase?
    Part 5 is obviously the HP recovery partition so I will not format it, but what is WINRE partition? A new installation of original Win 8 turns off the ability of F11 keyboard shortcut?
    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    Recovery Windows (RE) environment is based on the environment of pre-installation Windows (PE) and can be extended to be a minimalist system to recover a broken system somehow.

    Windows RE is configured in configuration data for starting a system failover for the entry of MBR. If the bootstrapper fails on the default entry, it will automatically try to boot into the recovery environment.

    It is installed on the default system partition.

    The recovery partition is a partition of at least 300 MB. On systems with a formatted MBR disk BIOS, the recovery partition has the type 0x27. On systems UEFI with a GPT formatted the recovery partition has the GUID.

  • Satellite A110 - the keyboard is locked and light slot touch F11

    Keyboard A110 from my friend was being blocked. He said that there is a light below the F11 key. No keys do not work.

    Please help someone...

    Hello!

    The light under the F11 key normally means that the keypad is on. You can enable/disable this function if you press FN + F11.
    Did you check that?

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if you can access the BIOS with the keyboard or the fact that this problem only occurs in Windows mode.

    Good bye

  • F11 key does not not in windows 7 - have the keyboard and the wireless mouse

    I had problems with my computer HP not recognize my second USB (:) drive J.  I called HP and the last thing said the tech support person had to restart and use the F11 key as soon as POSSIBLE.  I tried for 90 minutes, get the f11 key to work with absolutely no luck.  What is the wireless component which is too slow and I need a wired mouse and keyboard to "beat the clock"?  My f11 key invalid?

    There is practically no time to go into the system diagnostics no matter how long my fingers type.

    Well, honestly I don't know why he asked you to press F11, is perhaps just a key that will work for HP computers.

    Most computer manufacturers use generally:
    -F2 to access the BIOS Setup
    -F10 - F8 to access the list of available boot devices. Example CD, hard drive, USB etc.
    -F8 is for menu of boot loader Windows, where you can choose to start mode without failure, mode safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt... etc.
    -Check if you have a KEY named F-Lock on your keyboard.
    -During the reboot, press Caps Lock funct - and then try pressing F11.
    Sometimes this worked for me, in my case, I have a MS ergonomic keyboard which contains an F-Lock to enable and disable F keys.
    I hope that this help, my apologies for not having more information.

  • Confusion of symbol keyboard on Satellite C70-A-13U

    Hello

    I own a Satellite C70-A-13U unit that has dealt with problems since purchased symbol of the nine. What I mean is that it is correct when you press a button any alphabet (symbol) still trying the same thing for other symbols such as commas, parentheses, the symbol for e-mail and more, it is possible by pressing the FN, SHIFT or CTRL keys before hand. I guess that the device has a type of configuration problem...

    Thanks for the pointers.

    I don't know how much time do you have this machine, but I really wonder that you did not have a consultation with Toshiba service yet.
    When you buy new notebook everything should work correctly, 100%.
    All you can do is reinstall phone "settings" and check again. If the problem is there again, you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.

  • My Apple Smart Keyboard (Azerty) switches to Qwerty when I select the UK English keyboard

    I bought an iPad Pro 9'7 and until yesterday, I have not used the Smart Apple, that the native Apple keyboard keyboard in IOS. I'm leaving in a country speaking French, so I'm used to the QWERTY keyboard, and the Smart QWERTY keyboard did not yet, until recently. I just bought my Smart Keyboard QWERTY, which is now available. I run immediately in the keyboard configuration problems.

    With the native IOS software keyboard, I installed 3 keyboards: French, Dutch and English British and I've set up Dutch and British English for QWERTY. It has worked well. I was able to take advantage of the spell checking in all languages, while keeping the AZERTY keyboard layout. I am constantly moving between these languages, while it was important for me to be able to switch between languages, while keeping the Azerty layout

    On my new Smart Azerty keyboard, I can easily switch between languages using the button 'globe' on the left side of the keyboard, but as soon as I switch to British English or Dutch, the keyboard will automatically switch to the Qwerty. I checked my settings of the iPad has not changed: Dutch and English British are always set to Azerty. If I'm getting confused now.

    Of course, I could stick the french language as a framework for my keyboard, the smart keyboard would retain its built in QWERTY layout, but I would miss the spell check option.

    Any suspicion, the solution or work around it?

    Simply set French as the physical keyboard for English and Dutch in settings > general > keyboard > hardware keyboards.

  • Accessible mini or one-handed keyboard?

    Hello

    I have sensory problems, problems of coordination/proprioception and rsi.

    I can't type without seeing the keyboard and my hand hit. I also trouble typing with both hands at the same time, or several fingers at the same time, although I can handle some two-three key combinations and. I also struggle to hit the right keys and avoiding the wrong ones. I stopped using a mini keyboard since she start, page up, page down and put end, next to the delete/backspace, enter, and update and keep hitting them accidentally. I can't use peripheral touch because they look, and gestures and I keep accidentally triggeing those for touch devices are not a solution.

    I have been using an Adesso Mini keyboard and a mini Logitech keyboard, both of which are supported on the left side to reduce wrist fatigue.

    I also tried the dictation improved and Dragon for Mac, but I have severe Hyperacusis, and I get hit with a lot of construction noise painfully hard. When I'm not getting hit, I don't want to lose precious quiet, and when I get hit, I don't want to fill the page with pain.

    I've been using sticky keys, but it's a mess, it shows the keys on the screen, at the top of the screen, while I type on the keyboard and can not see the screen. Sometimes I seek and find that SHIFT or caps lock is taped, or worse yet, the command triggered something. AND MY RIGHT ARM HURTS >. And... OT again.

    Good timing...

    So is it a mini keyboard accessible or a hand that allows users to know which modifier keys are in effect? I can't handle flashing but I'd probably be able to use the other lihts of the indicator.

    Hey, Marja,.

    I feel your troubles, so I try as much as possible to help you. These recommendations may not work for you, and I can fully understand your situation, so just take what is useful and discard the rest.

    Here is a link to where I replied to your other post sticky keys.

    Re: How to use sticky keys?

    When you use the sticky keys, remember that you can disable modifier buttons to not show on the screen. The only problem with it is if you do not have the sound or the sound activated option, then it can become confusing if you have an amending key in the locked position.

    • Trick. If you do not want the sound or modifier keys displayed on the screen, you can activate the keyboard Viewer, and it happen some sticky keys are hit on the keyboard. If you press shift on your actual keyboard the keyboard Viewer will display the SHIFT key.
  • How can I get firefox to not be full screen without a mouse or keyboard in mode?

    for some reason any Firefox switched mode full-screen mode and I cannot get out. I use Firefox on a tablet PC running windows 8.1 using F11 or a mouse is not an option. at least, I guess that's the mode full-screen.

I can get in the menu settings (I have Firefox configured to start on a new page) but I can not find bookmark bar, address bar or full screen settings here. I tried to use IE11 uninstall Firefox and reinstall but it kept the setting. A button ' disable mode full screen "in the settings would be great useful or a button"force to show the address bar ".

    in fact, I found the answer! decimate left on the right side of the screen to bring up the menu of charms. on the bottom is the key on the keyboard. success for the and switch to the keyboard with the keys more. Press fn (not the keys to the letter F, N, but the Fn (function) key) and the F keys appear. Press F11 and problem solved.

  • Cannot switch the language layout with wireless keyboard

    I do a sort of a media center for my mac mini. So far, everything is great, except for one very annoying thing. I bought this wireless keyboard and it's working great, although there is a problem with the layout language switch. When I change the input language - it is off, according to the change of language icon, if a text input is always in English. I'm quite confused and don't know if it's related to the keyboard itself or it's a question of OS (same behavior was on yosemite, before I've upgraded to el capitan)

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Are you talking about the little flag in the menu bar? This has nothing to do with the language itself, it has to do with keyboard layouts. Any reason you need to switch the layouts?

    If you want to change the language of the menus and other system, then you must go to

    System-> region and language preferences, then change the order of the languages.

  • Keyboard no longer works in the terminal until I click the mouse in the OSX terminal

    Somehow the last week I have big fingers something while working in a terminal and the keyboard does not show anything when I type until I click on the mouse button.

    I tried the reset command, but it does not solve the problem.

    It's so weird, I don't know even how to describe correctly the problem. It should be easy to understand to describe it, as tonsillitis.

    Well, last week when this happened, I killed and restarted the window. I had a running python script to try to understand what the hijacking of my accent when my accent is hijacked and tried to see if there is anything in what could give me a hint.  Then I went back to the window I tried to reset and it worked again.

    Very confusing. The reset command was perhaps delayed time?

  • No keyboard to exit flight control.

    I think that this coincides with my upgrade to El Capitan. I have more control of the system output volume using the Mac keyboard. I have the volume sliders control of in applications using these buttons, but no longer broad levels of control system unless I drag the slider output volume manually. This is a real problem because I switch between several audio applications and it makes sense that I can allow apps to different levels and control the overall output level Mac with the Mac keyboard.

    This problem happens with my external audio hardware and internal speakers.

    Any advice, anyone?

    Thank you

    Volume - F10, F11, F12 keys) on a rMBP, may be in a slightly different place on other Macs - Act probably just like the classic function keys, which means that they would work by pressing fn and the key.

    To restore the default behavior, go to system-> keyboard Preferences and uncheck this box:
