[QUOTE="fred123, post: 1647956, member: 340701"] Hello. I've just updated my macbook 2010 from 10.6.8 to Yosemite and it was going well until I tried to make the F4 button launch the launchpad. I followed some intructions online about typing "rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist" into terminal and restarting, but since doing that the F10/11/12 keys aren't working. Also the ctrl and alt keys are not working either (previously they were allowing me to switch between workspaces/dashboards). The 'fn' key also doesn't do anything. Please can someone tell me how to fix this and just reset the F-keys to how they were on first install. (I tried going to Sys Pref > Keyboard > Shortcuts > 'restore defaults' but it doesn't do anything). Thanks. picture attached of what i see when i press the F10/11/12 keys [IMG]http://s7.postimg.org/vu4nic1bf/image.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
