Using the Function Keys on an Apple Keyboard

Pressing function keys (F1–F12) on Mac portable built-in keyboards and on newer
external Apple keyboards controls hardware features, such as volume, display
brightness, and, on some keyboards, media playback.

By holding down the Fn key as you press function keys, you can also use them to
trigger application-specific software features. For example, if you open iTunes and press
Fn-F1, iTunes Help opens.

You can set the keyboard so that the function keys control application-specific features
without pressing Fn. You then hold down Fn to use the function keys to control
hardware features.

To set whether the function keys control hardware or software features:

1

In Windows, click the Boot Camp system tray item and choose Boot Camp Control
Panel.

2

Click the Keyboard tab.

3

Select or deselect “Use the F1–F12 keys to control software features.”

If you are using a Mac portable computer, you can also right-click using the trackpad.

Scrolling with a Trackpad

If you are using a Mac portable computer, you can use two fingers to scroll with the
