If a program uses the F1-F12 keys as shortcuts and if you click them and it changes the sound or something, hold FN and it will act as a shortcut
I have a Apple PC with two operating system. The keyboard I use is the S-530. Just recently, the number keys to the right of the keyboard will not work when I use my Mac. They work on my Windows XP system.. It appears that these keys are locked when I use my Mac. What can I do? Thanks
Unplug your keyboard so it doesn't type anything whilst you clean, get a cloth and use the edge in between the keys.
The function keys on a Mac keyboard are set to operate some part of the computer (eject disc, adjust sound volume etc.) to use the traditional Fn 1, Fn 2, keys hold down the Fn key. The function of the Function keys will be set by the programmer of the software or they may have been configured as a keyboard shortcut in the Keyboard section of System Preferences.
you press the keys.....

function keys
They keyboard has many different functions that provide an easier way to use the computer without a mouse if necessary. The different parts of the keyboard include the function keys, navigation keys, numeric keypad, special keys, typewriter keyboard and the escape key.
Basically, Yes. Apple keyboards are USB keyboards, and all basic functions will work just fine on a PC, with some limitations: the hardware control functions (volume control, brightness control, media control buttons, etc.) will not work, and the modifier keys are marked differently than those on a Windows computer (for example, the [option] key on a Mac keyboard is where the [Windows] key would be on a PC keyboard).
Keyboard shortcuts are controlled in System Preferences/Keyboard. Apple has preselcted some keys such as F10, F11, and F12 to control volume. These keys can be set to other functions in the System Preferences/Keyboard pref pane. There are many function available. Take care in setting them so that you don't have two keys doing the same function. To use the F keys as function keys and not as the preset keys, press the fn key on the keyboard first, and then press the F# key you need.
You use the arrow keys on your keyboard when you are on the map.
