Trick to adjust the volume and brightness of the iMac

imac-volume-symbol

We all know the comfort of having on the keyboard of our iMac the possibility of raising and lowering the volume at will and very easily, but there is always that quarrel of, a click up too high and vice versa, a click down too low ... it costs enough to give it the right touch and more at night, but with this little trick (key combination) we will solve it instantly.

Many of you are sure that you already know the existence of this combination of keys, which serves to lower and raise the volume only 1/4 part with each press we make, it is a marvel to be able to give that exact point that the music, film or video that we are playing on our iMac, does not bother at all and less if we do not want to wake up anyone at home.

Shift + Alt + volume button, This is the combination, with it it is difficult for you not to find the right volume so as not to disturb and listen to the movie or music in perfect condition.

The brightness of the screen, perhaps a little less important (at least for me) because the regulation it has is really very good and that it also does it automatically, but we can also regulate the brightness with the combination of the same keys: Shift + Alt + brightness button, Normally with the normal clicks we can regulate the brightness well, but it is worth knowing that we also have the option to do it in 1/4 part, for each click that we press.

This is today's little trick Soy de Mac, we hope you take advantage of it and that it serves you for a better user experience with your iMac. It is assumed that this will be applicable to the entire Macbook range with OS X Mountain Lion. Can you confirm this?

    It seems that something so small is not radical, but you have said it sometimes 1/4 or 1/2 is what it takes to get what we want ready. thanks for the tip!

    Hello, I do not know what I did that the speakers of my Mac cannot be heard when selecting the volume key, a NO sign appears below the image of the speaker, can you help me solve it (I'm missing my novels hehe)

    1.    Jordi Giménez said

      Hi Paty, you won't have an Apple TV and did you put the AirPlay option? if that's not it, try this to see if it comes out: open System Preferences> Sound> Output and select “Internal Speakers”. If that option does not appear, restart the PRAM and check it again
