how can I silence my startup sound?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
Apple has removed that with the Intel-based Macs.
Try this http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/16425/startupsound.prefpane instead.

How do I mute the startup sound

How do I mute the startup sound on my imac

The start up sound is there for specific reasons, for example if you do a Safe Boot or PRAM reset you need the start up sound to do those key functions. I would recommend against masking it and follow Apple's suggestions. Please read your owners manual, where Apple states:
Putting Your iMac to Sleep
If you‘ll be away from your iMac for less than a few days, put it to sleep. When your iMac is in sleep, its screen is dark. You can quickly wake your iMac and bypass the startup process.
This means don't turn it off, my iMac is about 5 years old now. The only time it's restarted is when I'm doing updates, it has reliably that way and has never given me any problems. In short, let it sleep when it's not being used.

How can I silence everything but the alarm on my iPod Touch?

I have the 5th Generation iPod Touch and I have a problem. If I turn the ringer/alerts/etc. tones down I don't hear my alarm clock in the morning but if I keep them up loud enough to wake me then app push notifications, emails, etc. are prone to waking me in the night as well. I don't want to disable all those notifications, just silence them at night.
I've seen threads asking this regarding the iPhones and apparently they have a switch or something but I'm not sure about the Touch. How can I silence everything except the alarms?

You could go to Setting > Sounds > Text Tone or etc. and change them to None. But then you will have to set them back in the morning. But there is no other way then to mute all ringer and alerts.

It's a preference pane control that allows you to adjust the volume of the startup sound or disable it completely.
Hope this helps!

You would have to create the ringtones.
Google will find several way to do this.
You cannot buy ready made ringtones from your computer.

How can I remove the background sound from the headphone jack for my MacBoo

for my MacBook Air problem adding music intensifier (Panasonic ST-HT1000) to give it an unpleasant sound background that sounds like a whiz, it's not so loud, but it is an unpleasant .. after a short time can get used to, but the fizz does not pass, however, believe that it is a big problem.
Further I notice that when MacBookAir disconnected from the charger, it remains quieter sound.
At first thought that the headphone jack (3.5 mm Headphone:
Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack) or wiere have problem, but tried 3 different cables, but that does change enything, the problem remains.
When I added iPhonu3GS playing - the background sound were not, then everything is OK!

There is no way to bring that up unless you have it typed in a document. You can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers that have been purchased or registered with your Apple ID.

How can I record an audio sound and convert it to a ringtone?

How can I record an audio sound and convert it to a ringtone?

Record your voice using iPhone (for ringtone only 35 secs or under are valid), sync iPhone with iTunes.
In iTunes the recorded voice is listed under Music as some_numbers.m4a.
Right click on the item and choose Create AAC version.
Drag the converted voice onto the desktop.
Delete the voice copy in iTunes. (important step)
On desktop, rename the some_number.m4a to something_more_intelligent.m4r
Drag it back to iTunes and you will find it under Tones.
Now select it (for sync) and connect your iPhone, do a sync.
If everything works out, it will be in Settings > Sounds > Ringtone.
Now choose a contact you want to assign this ringtone, tap Edit and add the ringtone.
Hope this helps.

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

Dan,
It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
Hope that helps

TS4002 How can I get a notification sound when an email arrives?

I am using Safari and icloud to manage and check emial. I am not receiving a notification sound. How can I get an audiable sound to alret me?

Thank you. I meant new mail alert sound, but I didn't word it right I just want to know when new mail comes in, but its not happening. I have done different methods, including the one you suggest, but it will alert sometimes and most of the times it doesn't. For a while when I got my phone (Iphone4) and downloaded IOS6 it worked. It stopped working when I had to reset my phone to factory settings a week ago.
IOS has been updated and I have the latest software,. but it will not alert me each time I get mail. In few occassions I get the Ding of new mail, but for 15 mails I get maybe 2.
Thanks for replying to my question

How do I enable the startup sound on Mac OS 10.2.8(Jaguar)

Three things
1.How do I enable the startup sound on Mac OS 10.2.8(Jaguar)
I am using an iMac G4
I like the startup chime of mac osx but it doesn't seem to be chiming when I turn the computer on.
2. How do I get safari+flash player on 10.2.8
3. How do I update the computer (e.g. Windows update kind off thing)
Please help.
Cheers,
Mittens131

1. Make sure the volume is on. Check that the machine makes other sounds.
2. Here is a link for Safari for a Mac 10.2.8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2964
Though I'd be surprised if it would be very useful. Things have changed a lot on the internet since that came out. An old version of Firefox might be better. I don't know where you would get an old version of flash. It is an Adobe product.
3. There are no further updates to Jaguar 10.2 than you already have, 10.2.8 that was the last update.
