I just updated my entire system to a 2017 MacBook Pro with Apple Magic Keyboard (with numeric keypad). Running most current iTunes as well (12.6.1.25), but the keyboard media buttons will not control iTunes playback. Volume keys work, as do the other various buttons, but Play, Skip Back/Forward do not work.
Anyone experiencing this or have a fix?
MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS Sierra (10.12.5), Magic Keyboard w/ Numeric Track Pad
If other keys don’t work
You may have accidentally set an option that changes how your keyboard operates.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Keyboard. Make sure Slow Keys is turned off. If Slow Keys is on, you must hold down a key longer than usual before it’s recognized.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Mouse & Trackpad. Make sure Mouse Keys is off. If Mouse Keys is on, pressing keys in the numeric keypad moves the pointer instead of entering numbers.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Keyboard, then click Input Sources. Select “Show Input menu in menu bar.” Open the Input menu, then make sure the correct keyboard layout is selected.
To see the keyboard layout, click Keyboard, then choose “Show keyboard and emoji viewers in menu bar.”

Hi there,
I seem to be having the same problem with my media buttons, however the solutions that were posted don't seem to work.
Does anyone have any other solutions?
Thanks
