After the 10.4.7 update on my Intel iMac, restarting took a little longer than normal. There were recovered files in the trash and a dmg file that wouldn't mount (some gibberish name like khnmshyu.dmg). I checked a few things and it seems that most everything is okay, except a few keyboard keys aren't working. The display brightness keys, sound volume & eject keys don't do anything now. I'll fiddle around a bit and report back if I get it fixed.

another restart and the keys are working! - AceofThumbs
Okay, right after the first post, I started with the easiest possible fix and, indeed, after another restart the keys are working again!I should have tried that before posting. Then again, maybe it will help someone else. Everyone should try a restart or two before bothering to reinstall, deleting caches, etc...

sound volume, display brightness & eject keys on keyboard not working - bfowl32
My volume control does not work except when there is an external speaker plugged in. Although I hear the chime from the internal speakers on boot, iTunes, etc., will not play through the internal speakers.I have been working with a technician for three days now and have tried about everything he suggested, all without success.
I even tried erasing my hard drive and putting the original 10.4.5 system on to see if that would correct the volume control for internal speakers, but still, no success.
Now, I find I am unable to load the dmg of OS 10.4.7. I almost get a full download, and then it fails.
What gives????

I have a third party (MacAlly) keyboard and I noticed that on the SECOND reboot it prompted me, only after logging out again, to identify the right and left keys next to Shift (which is what it did when I first plugged the new keyboard in). It might be worth rebooting a few times and logging in and out.Reply to This
