Apr 4, 2015 11:40 AM in response to atornomarby alex_h1,Hello atornomar,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If the function keys on your keyboard are not performing their specialized function, then I'd like you to verify that a keyboard setting has not been enabled by accident. If the option outlined below is enabled, then simply disable it.
If you prefer the top row of keys to always behave as standard function keys without holding the Fn key:
- Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
- From the View menu, choose Keyboard.
- Click the Keyboard tab if it is not already selected
- Enable "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys."
With this option enabled, the top row of keys acts as standard function keys (F1 - F12). To use a feature indicated by the icon printed on a key, hold Fn while pressing the key.

Have a good one,

Apr 16, 2015 9:48 AM in response to alex_h1by atornomar,Alex H, Thanks for the reply. I did see this response in other threads and have verified that these were disabled.
However, I just got back from a vacation and the keys are working back to normal now!!?!? The Mac Mini was in sleep the whole time and not shut down. Not sure what happened but it's ok and working as it was for the past 1.5 years.
Thanks again! Will keep you posted if something changes again.
