Update fixes key mappings
Apple has released a software update designed to enable the use of special functions labeled on the new keyboards that ship with its revamped iMac systems. One Apple Store in the state of New Jersey reportedly set up demonstration iMacs without proper keyboard mappings, ultimately disabling many of the functions that the new iMac aims to make easier. Volume control, eject, brightness, and media transport controls apparently failed to operate on the demo iMacs, according to one blogger. Apple's new update likely remedies this issue, negating the need for new users to seek council from more experienced friends or colleagues to remap the special functions. The update is available for free as a 32.1MB download, and requires Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later.
