Purchased Refurbished MacBook Air. Keyboard won't function normally using keys without using combination commands. Was set up previously using VoiceOver. Although VoiceOver is now turned off and the voice audio is finally gone, the keys STILL function as if VoiceOver is on. I have to use a combination of keys for everything. Help, need the basic keyboard functionality back. What do I do??
Sounds like you need a new keyboard. You can get one from apple or a third party vendor. One thing you might try is re-installing the drivers for the keyboard.

you may have inadvertently set up a keyboard short cut on the delete key... go to your system preference app in the dock. Then select keyboard shortcuts... if you select "default" at the bottom of the window it will revert to the factory shortcuts and eliminate any you may have accidentally created...
Hope that solves your delete issue...

why use windows7? you paid for your macosx that comes with your macbook and mind you that macosx is a very powerful operating system and way better than windows. i suggest you use the macosx. you'd be amazed on how easy it is to use. i myself am a mac user and i assure you you'll never have to worry with viruses again. anyway, if you insist to use the windows7 i think the problem there is the driver for your audio. you might need the bootcamp driver on the cd that came with your macbook. try installing the audio driver and i am almost certain this will work. the red light shining in it is the laser used with fiber optic cables. your macbook is equipped with an optical audio port if you wanted a digital output going to your sound system (if it supports optical inputs).

try to connect your keyboard to the mac air while mac book is connected to internet (by wifi) then update your programs (apple menu - update).

Did the keyboard get wet by any chance? You'll have to replace the palm rest. If you want somebody else to do it for you go to Macbook Repair. If you want to do it yourself, here is an Macbook Repair Guide that shows how to repair a Macbook.

I can type using the keyboard with a wireless mouse. But, None of the function keys work correctly, I.e. ENTER, ESC, SPACEBAR or any of the regular apple OX shortcut commands (i.e. Command + or any other. Keyboard just "makes ping sound like it doesn't recognize the keys".
The keyboard will type letters with or without the wireless mouse. Just seems to be all the function type keys just like it worked during the awFul VoiceOver setup when I set up the laptop yesterday.
can you please post you mac os version?
OS X version
