On my MBP when I want to delete something I highlight it and press apple delete. Presto it's gone.

On my imac I select it and delete.....nothing happens. The only way to delete something on the destop is to drag it to the trash..

Why is this...is there a setting I can change? I really like to use the keyboard more than the mouse.

then go to your preferences and double check your keyboard shortcuts. You may have somehow unmapped that one.

I went into the keyboard preferences. I reset all to default. Still no apple+delete function.

This is so strange.

Thanks for the help...called tech support. Seems to be a hardware issue. A new keyboard is on the way.
