I had to buy a new keyboard but F10, F11 & F12 don't work for the volume. What can I do to activate it?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Check System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard tab -> [_] Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys. This should be unchecked so that the special functions of volume, brightness, etc... are enabled.
Thank you so much for your help. It now turns out that my iMac is 10.5.8. and the new keyboard if 10.6. This really makes me mad, when they update the computer and all related things. Why couldn't they leave the keyboard the same as it was before? I'm not buyng a new computer every time I need a new keyboard.
Anyway, I suppose Apple have to make as much money out of their loyal clients as they possibly can.
Agreed, the KB change is bizarre, I can see no need for Rocket Science & a NASA budget to use a few F Keys! ? 😕
