I'm not sure what happened for me to loss it but for some odd reason when I press F9, F10, F11 and even F12 I get only documents, pictures and Mac HD windows opening. :confused: It's never down this before and only started to happen recently but I really want Expose back..I neeeeeed it. :mad: If anyone can help, please do.
 
I have. The keys it's to respond to are the same. They are still the F9, F10 and F11 keys. Also I went ahead and actually set Expose to some other F-Keys like F1 ect with no success.
 
Hmm...no I haven't at all. I think what I'll have to do if I can't fix this here is call Apple and I don't think I have Apple care anymore.
 
Have you tried logging out and back in?
Repaired Permissions?
Any scripts running?
 
1. Yeah, I tired it just now. No progress there.

Now for the other two question you'll have to forgive me of my computer ignorance. I'm just a everyday Mac user. I honest am not sure how to correctly answer the questions as I'm not sure what they are asking.

Also I want to note that I am not using a Apple keyboard. I have a Wireless Logitech Keyboard. Now, even with that known, Expose still worked with the keyboard fine till recently. Also I took a close look at the F9-F12 keys and noticed the keyboard has tinny pictures to show what things will open when they are pressed. Of course, when I press them, what opens is exactly what is shown on the keys. Which is annoying. I can't even open my eMacs CD drive with my F12 key as I can only open iTunes' music folder with it. So now it's not even possible (to my basic knowledge) to use my system restore CDs.
 
Repair Permissions - In your Utility folder use Disk Utility and Repair your permissions.

Check your Logictech PreferencePane to see if that's causing the problems.
 
Do you have a powerbook? (Although this may pertain to all macs, I don't know) There is a setting under the keyboard preferences that allows you to toggle between having the F?? keys performing their special actions with and without pressing the fn modifier key. It could be that you have that setting wrong?

Logitech keyboard ? Check the (F-Lock) key.

..... :confused: Why is it that worked? Haha I'm sorry, the answer was so simple I feel somewhat silly. :rolleyes: Haha but for real, looks like that F-lock was the prob. Thank you everyone for helping me out and a special thanks to Chevy. :)
