Best Answer

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.
