1. ### When I press the Function keys (F1-F19) nothing happens. How do I use the Function keys?

   By default, Mac OS X uses the F keys to control items such as volume and brightness. To use an F key for a game command hold down the fn key, then press the F key you wish to use.

   To automatically enable the F keys, follow these steps:

   1. Open System Preferences ( Menu → System Preferences).

   2. Click on Keyboard or Keyboard and Mouse (depending on the version of Mac OS X you are running).

   3. Select the Keyboard tab.

   4. Check the Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys checkbox.

   The F keys will now work without using the fn key.

6. ### Can I play this game on a case-sensitive file system?

   No. LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 has been tested with the basic formatting option for Mac OS X, which is HFS+. This system is not case-sensitive and identifies files by name without checking capitalisation.

   The capitalisation of filenames is not consistent throughout the game. While this will not always prevent the game from running on case-sensitive file systems, it may lead to crashes and other unpredictable behaviour.

   If you have to run a case-sensitive setup and you experience problems with LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4, please install the game on a standard formatted partition or read/write disk image. In most cases this will allow you to play the game on your machine.

7. ### How do I take screenshots in LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4?

   To take screenshots while playing LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 you should use the following key command:

   Command (⌘) + Shift (⇧) + P

   When you press all three keys at once, a single image of the on-screen contents will be saved in the Feral Interactive folder in your computer's ~/Pictures folder (the "~" symbol refers to your home directory).

   The JPEG image contains metadata in a string in the following format.

   `GameName/Version Number (OS Version; CPU Speed; Installed RAM; Video RAM; Current Graphics Card)`

   For example in LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 the string might look a little like this:

   `LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4/1.0 (Mac OS 10.7.2; 2.8; 4.0 512; Radeon HD4870)`

   This information can be easily removed by exporting the screenshot into a different format using Preview or another image editing tool.

   NOTE: None of the metadata stored can be used to identify the user.

8. ### How do I activate Player 2's controller?

   Before starting the game, make sure Player 2's controller is connected to you computer. If the controller is not detected automatically in the game, then follow these steps:

   1. At the Main Menu (or on the Pause screen while in-game) select Options and then select Control Configuration.
   2. In the Control Configuration menu, highlight the right side of the screen (Player 2's side) and select the option Change Device.
   3. Press any button on Player 2's controller – the controller should now appear on the right side of the screen.
   4. Once the controller is visible on the right side of the screen, highlight and select the Accept option. Player 2's controller will now be activated.

   NOTE: In the Main Menu the relevant option is called 'Control Configuration', but on the in-game Pause screen it is called 'Controller Options'.

9. ### Why doesn't the purple gargoyle break the glass in the level 'The Dark Tower'?

   Towards the end of the level 'The Dark Tower' you will be required to use a purple gargoyle to break a pane of glass. On some low performance machines such as Mac Minis and MacBooks you may find that the glass doesn't break as it should. To get around this issue navigate to Options → Video Settings, and set the option Enhanced Graphics to OFF.

   You will be required to restart the game in order for this change to take effect, but when you retry the level the glass will break.

10. ### Why does the Delete Key appear as Backspace?

    When the game is played with a US keyboard you may notice that the Delete key is labelled Backspace. This does not affect the function of the controls.
