Hi All,
- For example, pressing the keys with speaker icons adjusts the volume. If you want to use one of these keys as a standard function key, hold the Fn key (usually in the lower left corner of the keyboard) while pressing the function key. Pressing Fn-F10 (speaker icon) performs the function assigned to the F10 key instead of toggling mute on or off.
- Use the top row of keys on your keyboard to perform built-in features or as standard function keys. If your Apple keyboard has icons printed on some of the keys on its top row, these keys can be used to perform the special features shown in each icon. They can also be used as standard function keys (F1 through F12).
Click the Apple menu and select 'System Preferences' to open it, click the 'Keyboard' icon, and then click the 'Use all F1, F2, etc. Keys as standard function keys' option. Dell inserts this option into the Windows Mobility Center, and some other PC manufacturers may also do this. MacBook keyboard has few distinctive sections: Function keys (in light blue), which provides access to various functions in MacBook itself or Mac OS system. By combining them with the FN key, you'll get access to F1 - F12 keys, which can be associated with particular application features (useful in Photoshop for example). Press the function (fn) key twice to launch Dictation on your Mac, start speaking, and press fn once you've finished. Here are some other ideas on controlling your Mac with your voice.
I bought a new Mac, 27'
Which was as an upgrade to my old Mac (which still works perfectly well)
However my old Mac has the Apple (wired) extended keyboard the one with the attached number pad to the right side where as my new Mac doesn't, it only has the short i.e. no number pad keyboard. So I swapped them over.

My problem is this:
The old keyboard attached (via USB) to my new Mac works perfectly fine. All buttons work as they should including functions keys.

My new keyboard which is now connected to my old Mac doesn't work as it should. Basically the function keys don't work, more specifically I can't get my volume or music play keys to work.
Ive been to various forums and most state:

If you prefer the top row of keys to always behave as standard function keys without holding the Fn key:
- Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
- From the View menu, choose Keyboard.
- Click the Keyboard tab if it is not already selected
- Enable 'Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys.'

However my settings don't have this re-set facility.
As such I can't seem to get any of my volume keys, or music play keys to operate.
Can you help please.

Use standard function keys
Standard function keys work differently depending on the app and the keyboard shortcuts that you've set up. Some apps have their own keyboard shortcut preferences that you can customise.
To use the standard function keys, hold the Function (Fn)/Globe key when pressing a function key. For example, pressing both Fn and F12 (speaker icon) performs the action assigned to the F12 key instead of raising the volume of your speakers.
If your keyboard doesn't have an Fn key, try pressing and holding the Control key when pressing a function key.

Change the default function key behaviour
If you want to change the top row of keys to work as standard function keys without holding the Fn key, follow these steps:
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences.
- Click Keyboard.
- Select 'Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys'.
If you can't see 'Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys'
If you can't see 'Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys', you may be using a keyboard that's not made by Apple. These keyboards may need a utility to change the keyboard functions. Check with your keyboard manufacturer for more information.
