    Getting "special" keys on Apple Bluetooth Keyboard to work with Win 10


    I have Windows 10 (upgraded from Win 7.1) installed on an iMac on a Bootcamp partition. When I was running Windows 7.1, all the function keys (to control brightness, volume, music playing) worked perfectly. Now under Windows 10 none of them work. And yes, I did go into the setup and try turning on and off the check box for whether or not the keys performed as Function keys with and without holding the FN key.
    Any ideas/suggestions? If I go into Bluetooth devices, the keyboard is shown properly as an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard.
    Thanks.

    :)

  2. my phone " keys in " some numbers while talking

    As I said in my first post you can either try to update it's software to see if it cures it.

    If it doesn't then your phone is faulty and you will need to get it repaired.

  3. my phone " keys in " some numbers while talking

    i contacted nokia who replied :

    Thank you for emailing Nokia Care.

    I appreciate your feedback. However, at the moment the Nokia Software Updater does not support Nokia 6080 nor Nokia 6070.

    In response to your email, there are no issues with Nokia 6080 nor Nokia 6070. Please take both phones to your nearest Nokia Care Point. The technicians will assess if a repair is required and advise if this may be covered under the warranty.

    ____________

    went to carphone warehouse & explained the problem,

    the lady i dealt with told me that this IS a problem she has seen over & over again.

    because the phone was still within the 14day period they exchanged it for a different handset [for which i needed to fork out another load of £££'s. guess i should've spent more in the first place!!]

    i asked what they will do with my returned phone,

    she said it'll be added to the collection of them which need to send back to nokia.

    perhaps nokia are in denial cause they havent had the stores returns yet?

    anyway,

    i hope everyone else will be fortunate enough to get a replacement.

    Getting "special" keys on Apple Bluetooth Keyboard to work with Win 10

    I had a similar problem. Upgraded from Windows 8.1 to 10, having an Apple Keyboard (not wireless). Previously working Fn keys stopped working.

    After some troubleshooting, what got it working again was:
    - Download Boot Camp Support Software
    - Extract the files
    - Go into the extracted folder \BootCamp\Drivers\Apple
    - Run AppleKeyboardInstaller64.exe
    - Fn keys worked straight away!

    I had no luck repairing the already installed Boot Camp instance, and when I tried to re-install the complete Boot Camp software I downloaded, it just prompted me that it wasn't intended for this kind of system.

    Hope this solves your problem too!
