How do i remove the macbook air startup sound?

Yes i am talking about the dong sound whenever the macbook powers on.
I am using bootcamp windows and switching back and forth all the time, i only had the computer a couple days and it already goes on my nerves.
Muting before turning off osX doesn`t work, startupninja doesn`t work, psst doesn`t work, and holding down mute while starting doesn`t work either.

Instead of hitting the mute button, volume down to zero.
That worked for me.
If you have external speakers connected, you have to remove them first, then volume down.
I hope that solves your problem!

  • My MacBook Pro shows the "Macintosh HD" icon on the desktop but my MacBook Air does NOT have the icon on it's desktop.  Is this normal?  If not, how do I remount the MacBook Air disk icon on the desktop?

    Is it showing in the Finder?
    If so, then this is normal.

  • How much tax for the macbook air in NYC?

    im looking into buying the macbook air 128gb 11.6" and i just want to know more or less how much it will be after tax along with the education discount. can anyone help? =]

    I think it would be about $1,143. Because I believe that the education pricing is $1,050 and then with tax it comes out to $1,143. I'm sorry if I did my math wrong!!

  • How powerful/fast is the MacBook Air 13inch pls?

    Hello everyone, I have had a 17inch MacBook Pro for about 6 years, its a great machine but it's too big and bulky to be very portable. I go away a lot for long weekend or train journyes to see friends and wanted a lightweight portable 'sketch book' to start idea in logic/ableton/photoshop etc while I was travelling and would then bring them back to finish/carry on on an iMac which I will get next year after saving for a bit.
    So I bought a 13 inch MacbookPro, which is a great little machine but after only a week I am wondering if it's still a bit too heavy/thick for my needs. I am away now and it took up quite a lot in my ruckack and then I had to walk a couple a miles to the hostel and it go pretty heavy with all my other stuff. So I am wondering if I might return it and get an Air, but worry that it may not be the greatest at running these programs. Does anyone use it for such things or had any experience please? As I say I wont be tracking a whole orhcestra or choir just bacically for getting up ideas running/watching films/net etc
    Thanks very much for all help.
    PS My old MacBook Pro was 2.6 core 2 duo 4GB ram and seemed to run everything fine. Is the new i5 much better?

    Hi Ian.id,
    A couple of tips to maximize your shopping research.
    1.) Apple Support Communities is an awesome resource for getting quick tech tips and help from a community of individuals who either work in the business, are enthusiasts or generally like to share their knowledge and experiences with others. While we all like to provide correct and accurate information that doesn't always happen (we're all human, after all) but the good news is that often times there's enough relevant data in these forums to where you can get pointed in the right direction or find your answer in another topic discussion.
    2.) I'd rank these hardware communities as "ok" (at best) to get a thorough response to specific use cases. For example, with a Logic question you'd be better to ask this in the forums designed for Logic discussions. That forum is here -
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications
    While I realize your question(s) are about the MacBook Air, ultimately the majority of topics in the machine-specific forums are about hardware/software troubleshooting. That's not to say you can't ask here and there (a lot of people will triple or even quad post) to increase visibility. It's no secret that each sub-community has their regulars.
    3.) As Ableton is not an Apple product you're not going to get the visibility you're probably after here. What are the odds that someone who uses Ableton on a MacBook Air will see your thread and then actually response in a helpful manner? I'd say it's low. I'd recommend going through Ableton's support community channel which appears to be here -
    https://www.ableton.com/answers
    4.) Lastly, do you have any music software forums or community sites you frequent? I find those profession-specific forums are usually MUCH better for hardware discussion versus profession-specific discussions in a hardware forum.
    Good Luck!

  • How do i remove a macbook air case that i put on backwards?

    i put on a case that i ordered off of ebay and somehow managed to put the top of the case on backwards. I've tried a credit card and my fingernails and none them are working. so i don't know what to do now and I'm afraid I'm going to break my new macbook air.

    Without seeing it, I would not suggest anything. As a suggestion, why not take it in to an Apple store and see if they will help. They should know if removing it would stress the glass.

  • How do I stop the MacBook Air trackpad from sticking?

    I recently spiiled some syrup on the keyboard and trackpad of my MacBook Air. The keys seem to be sticking a little (they take make a different sound than before, and they take longer to pop back up when pressed), but the trackpad is completely stuck. I can still use it, but it doesn't make the same clicking sound, or pop back up when pressed. I can click something if I apply enough pressure, but I'd like to have it back to normal. Please help!

    it's pretty much only a matter of time before your gear shorts out since that much spilled
    it will be out of warranty work, but take it to apple or a repair shop you trust and have it repaired
    or, if you're handy, find an ifixit teardown guide and try to clean/repair yourself

  • Quick question.... How many megapixels is the MacBook Air's camera?

    I have one and I was just wondering It is the most recent 2012 version. Also, how many megapixels is the iPhone 4S?

    pHoly cow! On PhotoBooth and FaceTime, it looks like better quality than my 4G iPod! It isn't laggy like most webcams, and it will focus really well if you keep it still. Thanks!

  • How do you remove the sound from the video's in imovie 08

    hello
    just wandering how do you remove the original imported movie sound in imovie 08 ?
    so that i can play my own sound track, i know it could be done in 06 ,but i just can find it in 08
    any help would be great
    thanks
    yaddle2go

    Just wondering ... can you then add other background music ... and not use the audio recorded from the camera at all?
    Yes. You can add your own audio either to the background of several clips or "pin" it to a single clip.

  • For some reason, when my Macbook Pro starts up, all of the MS Office applications open.  This was not happening when I first purchased the laptop, and I never added these apps to the startup menu.  How do I remove these apps from startup?

    For some reason, when my Macbook Pro starts up now, all of the MS Office applications open.  This was not happening when I first purchased the laptop, and I never added these apps to the startup menu.  How do I remove these apps from startup?

    By default Mac apps do not close when you close the window you were working in. Unlike in Windows when you click the top right X icon in any program is closes the window and the program shuts down. On Mac OS X clicking the X in the top left hand corner only closes that windows and leave the program running in the background. If they are left open and you reboot they will restart with the system and load a window for them.

  • How can I remove the Demo Viewer from my MacBook?

    How can I remove the Demo Viewer from my MacBook?

    Drag it to the Trash.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller
      10. Spring Cleaning

    How can I unfreeze my Macbook Air? I have tried restarting but it simply opens on the frozen email page.
    I have tried a few multople key combinations.  I would be very grateful if someone could post one that might ensure that any applications quit before re-starting.

    Try Force Quit.
    Press   command + option + esc  keyboard keys together at the same time.
    Wait.
    When Force Quit window appears, select Mail if not already.
    Press Force Quit button at the bottom of the window.
    Wait.
    Mail will quit.

  • How can I remove the junk mail folder from appearing in my macbook mail program?

    Hi all
    Can someone please tell me how I can remove the "junk" mailbox from showing in my mail program on my macbook? It wasn't there before and I would like it removed. I've attached a screen shot to be clearer in my request.
    Thank you!

    Hey PrincessJasmine,
    I see that you wish to get rid of the Junk Mail folder from your sidebar in Mail on OS X. I have an article for you that will explain how to do this:
    Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Junk Mail. Make sure “Enable junk mail filtering” and “Mark as junk mail, but leave it in my Inbox” are selected.

    how can i purchase a macbook air in Nigeria? apple has no shop in the entire country and independent dealers charge ridiculously sometimes more than double the prices of mac products without guarantee of getting it with required specifications. its sad cos Nigeria has a very large apple market plus phones and most recently ipads especially. its been frustrating trying to get a macbook, even have to wait for when someone will travel out of the country, then you send the person(thats if you have the money at that time). Please somebody help inform apple maybe they can do something about this, its really disappointing.
