Hi ~ None of the shortcuts (F1 - F12) on my new Magic Keyboard w/ Touch ID seem to be working on my Macbook Pro 2019. I cant use the volume keys, brightness keys, media keys, etc. On my old Mac keyboard with the AA batteries I had no problems.

When I go to system preferences > keyboard, I can only make changes to my Macbook keyboard, not the Magic Keyboard. Can anyone assist me on this? Can I manually add these shortcuts in? Is there a way to set up my Magic Keyboard?

Thanks

hmmm..

Set up your Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, or Magic Trackpad

The 2021 Magic Keyboard with touch ID is said to only work with Apple Silicon processor Mac's so I'm not surprised you are seeing these issues on your 2019 Mac.
