How to change boot up music/sound?

Hi,
Does anyone know how i can change the music of my mac mini when i switch it on?
I'm getting tired of that sound and it keeps making me jump in my quiet room!
I've already tried going into system preference/Sounds to no avail.
thanks

Hi guys,
Strange thing is....
The boot up chime still comes from my mac (internal speaker) when the external speakers are plugged into the socket of the computer, yet when i play music they come from my external speakers..
This means i have no control over where the chime comes from, it will always come from the internal speakers of the mac.

  • How to change Boot device order to enable install of OS from CD/DVD?

    Yoga 3 Pro P1370
    I have an external USB CD/DVD drive.  I would like to from YOGA "OFF", boot to this drive. 
    From YOGA "OFF" tried the tiny button (pused with pencil point), choose boot menu, this is using "windows boot mgr.", it said to use the "UP & Down" arrows to, change then press <enter>
    The up & down arrows offered NO  other choices than what was already there.
    So from off how do i boot to the CD/DVD plugged into the USB port?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    First go to BIOS setup and turn off secure boot.  If that doesn't do it, switch the boot mode from UEFI to legacy.
    What's on the CD you're trying to boot?

  • How do change boot disk from single user mode?

    My G5 hangs when booting at the blue screen while "Loading printing services...". Attempting to boot into safe mode only hangs at the grey gear screen. It will, however, successfully boot into single user mode. I've run fsck but no change in bootability. I have another disk in the machine that has Tiger on it. How do I change the boot disk from the single user prompt?

    You can hold c and boot off the installer disk and select disk utility repair disk/permissions
    or you can hold option to boot off Mac OS X on another drive, like a clone and run Data Rescue to recvoer your files.
    It does sound bad, you can try going through these
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106464
    But I think you'll need a fresh install, hopefully you have been backing up/cloning to a external drive.

  • How to change duration of music on menu?

    Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0 - Windows Vista 64bit
    I'm getting there. (Thanks to your help!)
    I started from (almost) "scratch" so I'd have a nice "clean" video to burn to a DVD. I've reset all my chapter markers. Perfect, in Preview. I've chosen my menu and adjusted the motion scene selection buttons. Gorgeous, in Preview. I don't like the "default" music that comes with the menu I chose. I read some old threads here and found there is a 30 second limit, so I used Audacity to cut a WAV clip that's 16.23 seconds long to use as a loop. Here's the problem:
    I clicked "Browse" and selected the same music clip for the Main Menu and each of three successive Scene Selection pages. Works fine on the Scene Selection pages, but the Main Menu won't play past 13 seconds for some inexplicable reason. I tried manually adjusting the "duration" to 16.23, but it snaps back to 13 as soon as I hit Preview.
    I've closed the program, restarted my computer, made a new (identical) music clip (just in case the Main Menu didn't want to "share") but it still won't take it. It plays the first 13 seconds then abruptly loops back to the start, which is NOT a *smooth* transition - but it would be, IF it would play the whole 16.23 seconds like the other menu pages do without any problem.
    I'm open to suggestions, but I sure hope I don't have to start over again. Oh, BTW - I tried switching to a totally different Disc Menu, just out of curiosity, and that one played the whole music clip on the Main Menu page without a problem... but I don't like the look of that menu, I want the other one - the one that's giving me grief (of course). Don't understand why it would work on one and not the other.
    Please advise. Many thanks in advance. Cheers, Val
    To answer a question one of you (Bill?) asked on the previous thread about my source material --
    It was originally a PAL video cassette, converted to NTSC DVD. It's all on my computer now - four VOB files: three @ .99GB each, and one @ 691 MB. It's a one-hour Peter Allen TV Special broadcast in Australia. I am removing the advertising and making a menu that will allow selection of each song individually. I want more of a "concert" and less of a "TV show" as the finished product.

    Here are the results of my test of the Broadway Menu Set and the exact steps that I used. It starts a bit before the work with the Video and Audio, but this might be useful to someone creating a Menu Set for use with PrE.
    I got the Standard (4:3) PSD’s for the Broadway Menu Set, both the Main Menu (mm) and Scene Selection (ss), plus the MPG and the MP3 files. To get these Menus to display in PrE’s Create Menus selection area, I Opened the PSD’s in Photoshop, and created the PNG “thumbnails” for them, using the naming convention of the other PNG thumbnails as my guide. I first resized each PSD to 160 x 128 pixels, and then did a Save_As_PNG-8, using the correct naming convention, used elsewhere. These were placed into a new “(V) Broadway” folder with the PSD’s, the Motion Asset MPEG and the Audio MP3 file. All displayed fine in PrE 4.
    In a PrE Project, I took the original Broadway MPEG and used TimeStretch to increase its Duration to the 29;20, that I had used before (that would match my Audio file from earlier tests), and did a Share, choosing MPEG. This resulted in an m2v, but that worked fine.
    In PrE’s Create Menus Panel, I chose the new, stretched m2v, and the Duration changed to match the 29;20 Duration of the Motion Asset. Next, I linked to the previous SmartSound WAV, that was edited to have a Duration of exactly 29;20. The Duration for that Asset changed to 29;20 instantly.
    I previewed and the searchlights were now slower (as was to be expected) and the limo was also slower pulling in and out. The Menu’s Motion Background was smooth, but slower. The new Audio with Fade-in and Fade-out, played perfectly, and the Menu Looped very nicely. Actually the Looping was now better than with the original MPEG and MP3 Assets! This was a nice surprise, as there was a bit of a jolt, when the original Audio Looped. Not sure what could be done to eliminate that, but think that it would be easily accomplished in Audition, or Audacity. Maybe a test for another day.
    I burned a DVD RW and the Menu worked perfectly. I did not complete the test by altering the Scene Selection Menus (in my test Project, I needed three of these), but feel confident that they would function the same way.
    In conclusion, if one needs to use other Audio source files, this can be done, so long as one takes two things into consideration: the Video Motion Asset will determine the Looping/Duration, and the Duration must be < 30;00. I chose 29;20 to give myself a bit of headroom. Now, one needs to consider the visual effect of using TimeStretch to modify the Duration of a Background Video - here, it was fine. The Audio needs to match perfectly, or be ever so slightly shorter (I’m talking about a few Audio Units here - slight indeed), than the Video Asset.
    Now, one is still limited to the 30;00 Duration limit, in PrE, but up to that point, the chosen Audio can be just as long as the Video.
    I strongly recommend using a short Fade-in and Fade-out on the Audio, so that there is a lead-in/lead-out that will keep from having harsh jumps with the Loop.
    Hope that this helps someone in the future.

  • [W520] How to change boot splash / logo?

    Hi all,
    Is there a way to change the boot logo upon starting the W520?  Currently, the default is the Thinkpad logo.  I would like to change it to contain other information upon booting.

    You should read this:

    Please note that I have never done this as I have never been willing to risk turning a machine into a doorstop, so I cannot confirm that it works.

  • Email notification - how to change?

    I have a data only 8330 and can't figure out how to change the email notification sound.  Right now, all it does is vibrate.  I was hoping I could mess around with it a bit and get it to ping or something.  Also, is there a way to assign a different sound to different email accounts?  Thanks in advance!!

    welcme to the frums!
    I just wanted to add to what the guys above have already said. It is a fellow blackberrian wrote this on a post (Jsanders)
    1. Select the Profiles icon
    2. A box will appear where you can quick select between Loud, Vibrate, Quiet, Normal, Phone Only, and Off. If you wish to quick change the device profiles then select the one you want and exit out.
    3. If you want to edit the tones assigned to the device applications then select the last option, Advanced
    (some older models and OS 4.1 and below will not have the "Advanced" step--if Advanced is not present go directly to Step 4 below).
    4. Select the profile you wish to edit. (Loud, Vibrate, Quiet, Normal (default), Phone Only, Off)
    Note: on the 8100, 8800, and 8300 models: Do not click the trackball. Instead, click the menu key to the left of the trackball).
    Note: The profile that is in use will say: (Active)
    5. You will now see a list of all applications that can have a tone assigned (Browser, Calendar, Level 1 Messages, Messages ([email protected]), Messenger, MMS, Phone, SMS, Task ect..)
    6. Select the application you wish to edit the tone / notification for
    7. You can now edit Out of Holster and In Holster tones/ notifications.
    a) Select between: None, Tone, Vibrate, Vibrate+Tone
    b) Select the Tune you wish to use
    c) Select Volume (options are Mute, Low, Medium, High, Escalating)
    d) Select Number of Beeps (options are 1, 2, 3)
    e) Select Repeat Notification (options are None, LED Flashing)
    f) If set to Vibrate or Vibrate+Tone then select Number of Vibrations (options are 1, 2, 3)
    8. Repeat a-e for each of the desired applications listed in 5 above

  • Change SMS or Email sound/Alarm

    I just got my IPHONE 2 days ago and I haven't figure it out how to change SMS or EMAIL sound/alarm...HELP

    CEWEI,
    If you have iPhone update 1.1.1 installed you can go to Settings -> Sounds and change the sound for incoming text messages.
    There isn't a way to change it for incoming email. You may want to suggest that by going to:

  • How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my old iPhone.

    How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs without affecting my iPhone 5? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my current iPhone. iTunes won't let me change the device name for the 3gs. I just want to use the old iPhone like an touch.

    Hi littlemansa,
    If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are returning to an old iPhone that has been erased and you would like to set it up as a new device without restoring from a backup which would affect the name of your iPhone, as well as the contents therein. I have an article for you that can help you set up your iPhone as a new device, and that information can be found below:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
    Basically, it seems like you may be stuck on a screen that is asking if you would like to restore your device from the backup that is filed under the name of your new iPhone, or if you would like to set up the device as a new device. I would suggest that you set it up as a new device to achieve your desired results. 
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • How to change fn keys to pause music instead of refresh screen

    ive been trying for hours to find out how to change the value for the fn + fx keys.Ex. i want the fn + F5 key to pause/play music or movie instead of refreshing the web site. so far i had come to conlusion that i need to change somthing in the regedit, but i can't find the place to change it. please help me and thanks  P.S. i have a Lenovo z50-70

    I think the Rex has indicated that this is more or less what he gets by turning off Background Audio for slide 1. (Muted audio which then resumes playing at slide 2).
    This is actually a very good question.  I've never thought of trying to get the background audio to begin playing at anything other than slide 1.  I'm not aware of any advanced action variable that can be used to initialise the background audio at a given slide.  Is there such a beast?
    It would also be great to be able to control the volume of the background audio at runtime.  I find many elearning courses set the background audio volume too high and it competes with the voiceover, making it difficult to understand.  It would be very useful if learners could reduce the volume of the background audio independent of the voiceover audio.
    Actually, when it comes to triggering audio or sound files, Captivate could do with quite a bit more functionality.  Something to keep in mind for enhancement requests for Cp6.  I've added it to my IdeaScale list: http://captivate6ideas.ideascale.com/a/dtd/More-control-over-background-audio-start-end--- volume/98552-11786  for anyone that wants to vote on it.
