Copy Merged AGAGRGAH!!!! - A Photoshop OS X moan.

Well I have now worked out the action I had lost in the move to OS X and after much giggling about I have got it to work with my iMac.   All things ok until I try and run the action with the f key I allocated to it during the action record process.  Every time I press the combination of keys, in my case cmd & f8 iTunes starts to play!  This is of course is the default function f8 button does on the bluetooth keyboard.  This in itself is not too annoying, I could after all just run the action from within the action drop down.  However, when I come to map the actions for the buttons on Wacom tablet this may cause problems.   If this is so then this is a real bad mark against Adobe or Apple or both.  The mac is supposed to be creative friendly, remember all those patronising "...I'm a Mac and I'm a PC..." ads, and now I find some of the core tools of  creativity on a Mac ie Photoshop and a Wacom tablet may not work as well as on a PC then you do wonder...however, there could be a much more plausible answer - user error!   Only time will well.
