    The update appears to be for the 2009 keyboard. Is that what you have?

    You don't say what keyboard you're using - is it the original or a newer one, or a brand new one?

     

    The brand new ones only have full functionality in 10.6.8 or later.

    I have a brand new wireless keyboard... so it's never going to work.  BUT... I found a sort of work round! 

    Since it's eyeTV that I want to control the volume more than the system volume I discovered cmd and up/down arrows do the job.  I gess I'll forgo the brightness function.

     

    I'm a little frustrated that it appears Apple seems to want to push me towards an upgrade of a perfectly serviceable iMac G5.  I'll be keeping it to watch TV, surf the web, wordprocess and let the macbook pro handle photos & video.
