How avoid the loud sound of superdrive at start up ? (macbook alu late 2008)

Hi!
The question is... in the title !
How avoid the loud sound of superdrive at start up ?
It's quite boring, and I have never tried to avoid it, so if someone may help me...
I have a macbook alu (late 2008) :
MacBook5,1
MB51.007D.B03
1.32f8

It's the sound made by the superdrive at start up.
You can hear it here :

  • How avoid the hyphen in filename when saving ?

    How avoid the hyphen that illustrator puts between 2 words in the filename when saving your existing file.
    E.g.: open file "Donald Duck.ai", edit it and save it again. Illustrator puts a hyphen between : "Donald-Duck.ai".
    Is it possible to avoid this ?

    I tried a lot of settings. Set all on "none" in Settings > Output Settings, and saved that settings.
    When saving for Web the second time the same .ai, the hyphen remains away.
    But saving another .ai, settings are gone and the "Custom" settings are selected again.
    I searched the map "Output Settings", to delete "Custom" so "Default" would be selected, but "Custom" is not in that map.
    Otherwise I could copy my saved settings into the "Custom" file.
    I found this about my issue : http://okapi.sourceforge.net/Release/Filters/Help/illustrator.htm
    See "Issues with Illustrator" :
    The JPEG preview files have modified filenames. If you choose to generate the ancillary JPEG preview file when extracting, you will notice that filenames with spaces are modified to have dashes instead. For example, the JPEG of the file "My Example.ai" will be "My-Example.ai.jpeg" instead of "My Example.ai.jpg". This is because Illustrator forces filenames without spaces.

  • How do I get sound on my TV from mo macbook pro?

    How do I get sound on my TV from mo macbook pro?

    Depends on what you want to do, do you want to play music or video?
    If you have a Macbook that supports thunderbolt just connect it with a hdmi cable (if you want picture as well). If your mac doesn't support thunderbolt you could connect via the standard headphone jack. But still it depends on what you want to do. So...
    What do you want to play... (music, video)?
    What does your tv support (hdmi, digital audio (s/pidf?)?
    This helps narrowing down your solution.

    That does not work on model year older then 2010 and really doesn't work on any older then late 2011 models.
    You will need a set of original system dvd disc thjat are always sypplied with every mac sold before Lion came out. Systems older then late release early 2011 models.
    If you don't have them you kcan order a replacement set from apple by calling them. Have the serial number of you mac handy.

    Does anyone know how well the Intel Iris Pro installed on new 15" MacBook Pros performs using Photoshop and Lightroom?  I have seen some differing opinions out there, and I would rather not shell out the extra cash for the Nvidia if I don't have to. I mostly do photo editing for business and personal use. I have not used the 3D function in Photoshop, but I would like to know that I could.

    You could download a trial and see how well it works before committing to a subscription. You get 30 days to decide.

  • How can i Flash and restore the firmware ( EFI ) from a Macbook pro ( late 2008 , 5.1 ) ??

    How can i Flash and restore the firmware ( EFI ) from a Macbook pro ( late 2008 , 5.1 ) ??
    Please help me !!

    The Seagate backup drive I bought doesn't support 10.5.8
    The only reason I can see for that is it's formatted NTFS, which would likely be Read Only in 10.5.x, if you can reformat it MacOS extended, which would erase everything on it now, then that should work for your purposes.

  • Well, my macbook (alumminium late 2008) started to be too laggy, so I decided to erase the Macbook HD. What I did not know is that my Superdrive is not working, so i could not re-install Mac OS X Snow Leopard. What to do?

    Well, lately my Macbook (Alumminium, late 2008) started to be too laggy. So I decided to erase Macbook HD, and reset it to the factory config. What i did not know was that my SuperDrive is not working... So I could not re-install Mac OS X Snow Leopard. What to do?

    I'm not familiar with the 2008 Macbook, but will it boot from and external drive?  If so, non-Apple CD/DVD drives are not expensive and can be very useful.  A bootable USB flash drive might also work for you.  Again, I'm not familiar with the 2008 Macbook.
    Good luck,

  • How do I install Mavericks onto a new SSD HD in my late 2008 MacBook Pro?

    How do I install Mavericks onto a new SSD HD in my late 2008 Macbook Pro, and then I  hopefully can reinstall my data from my Time Machine backup?
    I presume the SSD will need some type of formatting, before I can install Mavericks from the internet? Then can I use my Time Machine backup to reinstall all my other software and settings?

    In order to load Mavericks the SSD will have to be formatted Mac OS Extended with GUID partition mapping

  • How do I upgrade to Mavericks from Lion with a Macbook Pro late 2011?

    How do I upgrade to Mavericks from Lion with a Macbook Pro late 2011?

    Mavericks is no longer available from the App Store.
    If you meet the Mavericks requirements then you can install Yosemite at no charge.

  • HT3053 Can I run my MacBook Pro Late 2008 without battery forever? Is it bad in long term or anything? Does it make the system less stable?

    Can I run my MacBook Pro Late 2008 without battery forever? Is it bad in long term or anything? Does it make the system less stable?
    My battery got swollen (and I unfortunately noticed it very late and might have be running with it for months, which potentially explains all the crashes everyday and the trackpad not working anymore, the Apple test also says I have a bar of ram broken...) and I had to remove it because the back pannel did not close anymore... Can I still use my MBP normally forever that way? I was planning on buying a new mac anyway but maybe waiting for the next iMac upgrade in the year... Should I wait?

    Other than the system shutting down instantly if you have a power outage, whcih could corrupt the OS. Nothing else bad will happen.

    The management is quite easy. You can move your Documents, Movies, Music, and Pictures folders to another drive and then replace them in the original location with aliases.
    Select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "alias." This will provide a help file on creating and using aliases.

  • Can I use my old Macbook Pro Ram in the New Macbook Pro (late 2008)

    I have 2, 2 gig DDR2 sticks of ram in my macbook pro. I wanted to know if they would work in the new macbook pro (late 2008)? I know the new one uses DDR3 - What would be the downside of using DDR2 in a DDR3 macbook? Would the graphics cards work to their potential? Thanks!

    No. The DDR2 RAM in your older computer is not the same as the DDR3 RAM used in the new ones. There are significant differences between them not the least of which is pin count.

  • I have a MacBook Pro late 2008 edition with 2 Gigs of RAM and running Mavericks. When trying to download Yosemite from the App Store it gives me an error message. Anyone has a similar problem?

    All,
    I thought it may be related to spaces in the path in which the script was called from. I tried having the ODBC command script in another directory but the same thing happens. It will give me the "CONFIGSYSDSN: Unable to create a data source for the 'Oracle in OraClient10g_home1' driver: Could not load the setup or translator library with error code -2147467259". As soon as the script is done running I can manually double click the script and it adds the DSN fine.
    Thanks,
