Sorry Jewels,
I’m rushing doing too many things at once today haven’t given you the full
details :-(

You will notice the key you have been pressing on the keyboard is probably set
to ‘Show Desktop’ or ‘Hide Open Windows’ which pushes all
Hi Ronni,
I am ashamed to say I am using Leopard (10.5.8). Just had a look at
the Keyboard in
Systems Preferences (never realised this existed !) Turned off F12
which is the dashboard.
Any ideas on how I can change F11 and F12 to be volume up and volume
down (as the

Hey Jewels,
Our emails crossed in cyberspace :-)
Turn F12 back on and then to use that key to turn up your sound just press the
fn key and F12 key.
Then when you just press F12 you will get dashboard
When you press fn F12 keys you will turn up your sound.
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Ronni
I'm really grateful you give up your time to assist us all - so thank
you.
Tried F11 F12 together with the FN key, still the same. so
went into the Keyboard Shortcuts and unticked F11 F12 and now they do
nothing.
Sorry I've probably completely misunderstood you ?
Don't worry if
Hi Ronni,
Followed your instructions, put the keyboard (in Systems Prefs) back
to where it was. Pressed fn and f12 together
and the dvd drawer comes out.
Sorry if this is confusing.

You are in Leopard, so check also in System Preferences Exposé Spaces

Hi Jewels,
If I understand you correctly, you are running 10.5.8 and would like the
keys on your (older) keyboard to perform the functions as indicated on the
keys - rather than the newer function allocations.
It should be possible - I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and my keyboard
works as it
Hi

Hi Jewels,
I have just assumed you are using an Apple Keyboard?
The behaviour you are experiencing is making me think you are NOT using an
Apple Keyboard.
Many third-party Non-Apple keyboards assign the eject function to the F12 key.

Its definitely an apple keyboard, with the figures extension on the

Stuart, it may our may not be relevant in your case but the Apple USB External
Modem will only work 32 bit, i.e. no go on Intel machines. Having used that
modem happily on my G5 I had to get a ZOOM 1063 when I moved up to an Intel
iMac. Works perfectly through the print dialog.

Hi Jewels
I'd try the keyboard on another machine and see if it does the same thing
(either running 10.5.8 or later OS). If it does, then yes could be something
with the keyboard. If it doesn't then it means it's something more software
related.
What machine is it running on?
Do you have any
Hi Jewels,
Daniel has replied with more information so I won't repeat what he has
mentioned.
If you have an Apple Keyboard, it should have a dedicated eject key to open the
DVD tray.
F12 opens the Dashboard not the DVD tray.
Does the keyboard you are using have the 'eject key'? It has a

Daniel Ronni have given you lots to work on. I sometimes find it is
helpful to really define the extent of the problem so:
