Garrulous Glaahk Wanderer Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I installed this nifty wireless keyboard yesterday and I can't save from F3 anymore. I'm running OS 10.5.8 on a Mac-Mini. The rest of the keyboard prompts are OK. I went into keyboard preferences and changed the default preference for F3, which relates to Expose, to no preference at all. Still a problem. My previous keyboard was an old Macally with I-Mac colors. I had no problem with it. I do have Quicken but I disabled the auto entry quite some time ago.

Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Have you tried fn+f3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Wanderer Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 I hadn't even noticed the "fn" key. And I've been using Apple computers for almost 20 years. It works fine now. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Yes, the fn key is standard on the compacted keyboards. There should be a setting in the keyboard preferences to determine whether the F function is the default or alternate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Wanderer Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Yes I see that now. I'm getting used to this teeny keyboard--as you can see from the mis-spell on the title of this thread I was having problems. Tyranicus and Master1, you have both been very helpful. As you can imagine, I lost a lot of game because I thought I was saving with the F3 and indeed I was not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
