New Magic Keyboard F-keys not controlling volume on iMac I just bought a new Magic Keyboard for my iMac because the old one quit. I can't get the f keys to control the volume. I have followed the steps but nothing changes. f10 and f 12 do nothing while f11 brings me back to the desktop. HELP!!! When I go to System Preferences-Keyboard-Shortcuts, it only gives me very limited options to access 7 fn's.

Check Keyboard Preferences. One of the settings in there lets you control whether function keys act as standard function keys or as special keys.
