Is there a terminal command to disable the "Boing' sound ?

Hello, Everyone
I was wondering if any one knows if there is a terminal command that can
be used to disable the "boing" sound that folders and files make (in Tiger)
as they are being moved about the desktop and or into finder windows.
A couple of people have looked in the System preferences,usual areas but
can not locate the file for this "Boing" sound. If any one knows I would love
the answer. TIA for reading this & any help.; )
Regards , Eme

Mine doesn't make a sound when I do this.
I presume you have unchecked the "Play user interfacesound effects" > in System Preferences> Sound. The other OP wants to disable only the infamous boing. I found both the files you wrote of. Thank you very much !
I just needed to summarize this & then undoing if so desired.
Bill, please what would the command be for undoing this action ?
Launch Terminal and type this: sudo gzip
enter ~~
password prompt,
then this : /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ScreenReader.framework/Versions/A/Resources/S ounds/SpringForward.aiff
Is this correct ?
Thanks so very, very much for your expertise, patience and sharing it with me.~ Eme

Is there a terminal command that shows the size of the VM swapfile?

Something like the "uptime" command?

Something like the "uptime" command?
How about
ls -l /var/vm/swap*
? Works for me.

Terminal Command to disable/enable Safari Sound?

Does anyone know of a command (or even a 3rd party utility) which would allow for sound control/mute for Safari only?
I do not like to be disturbed by the sound of animated gifs/popups etc. when I am listening to my iTunes while browsing the internet.
Thank You!

You could hijack Safari's sound with Audio Hijack Pro.

If you are just going to mute the sound, you can use it without buying a license key.

Is there a Terminal command that will pick up DNS numbers?

Hello all,
Is there a Terminal command that will pick up the DNS numbers utilized by a router?
The router options don't show any, though the router is set to use PPPoA to pick them up.
I kindly TIA,
Eme '~[ )♥♪

Hi, Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
What do you mean by "pick up"?
I mean to show what the DNS numbers are that the router is using.
They are not entered in the DNS server field in Networks, TCP/IP tab.
If you mean refresh the client settings, the DNS settings are obtained as part of the DHCP lease (or PPP connection in the case of PPP).
The user/ OP is actually using PPPoA, when i googled PPPoA.. seems he is using Cisco perhaps.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-PointProtocol_overATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)
"PPPOA or PPPoA, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) over ATM, is a network protocol for encapsulating PPP frames in ATM AAL5. It is used mainly with cable modem, DSL and ADSL services.
It offers standard PPP features such as authentication, encryption, and compression. If it is used as the connection encapsulation method on an ATM based network it can reduce overhead slightly (around 0.58%) in comparison to PPPoE".
Essentially the original poster removed the OpenDNS #s from his DNS server field in the TCP/IP tab (b/c they seem to make Adobe.com inaccessible to him)
removing them & allowing his router to "pick them up from the ISP" seems to solved his problem.
However he can not, find what the numbers are that are being utilized,
b/c they are not entered as usual in the Network, & part of the DHCP lease,
or in Airport admin Utility.
I/ we wondered, if there was a Terminal command that will show what the
numbers are that are being used .
Does that help clarify what I mean? Sorry to be so long winded.

Terminal command to disable "You have forced ****to quit"?

It happens often enough to be a pain. I have gone to Console prefs and selected "Automatically send diagnostic and usage data to Apple"
I still get the dialog box with the choice to Ignore or Report.
Is there a terminal command that would rid me of having to make that choice, as I always choose "Ignore"?

I did change My Settings. Thanks. Something I didn't think of. The force quits are from Mail, Aperture, and Safari. They're not frequent, and a force quit fixes the problem, but I'd like to avoid the dialog.
For example, here is an Aperture freeze from Console:

Hi. Is there a Terminal command or an App for OS X (Snow Leopard which I'm using now as a backup OS X from an external USB drive) that can slipstream the 10.5.8 combo update to 10.5 retail installer (I 10.5.8 for an experiment) to be burned to either DVD and other media like with this Windows 8 app:

Ya, I'd love to have the computers connected to the Xserver, unfortunately against my heeding, I was ordered to take them off of the Xserver, so they only have a local account that automatically logs in on startup, and even though I have Parental Controls set, I can not stop them from going to Safari, selecting an inappropriate image and setting it as the background, so now I’ve been ordered to fix all of the backgrounds that people are messing with.
My Xserver is running OS X 10.4.11 Server Edition. Yes, I would love a new server, but that’s not happening due to budget cuts.
So what I am hoping for is a command that I can put into Apple Remote Desktop v3.5.3 and push out to all of the computers via its Unix commands and reset all the desktops to their default image.

Is there a Terminal command to eject disk?

My MBP wont start up and I used my friends install disk to try and reboot it, bnut it would not work and I cannot eject the disk.
Is there a Terminal command that will eject the disk.
MY MBP won't boot so it os booting from teh Install disks.

In researching this I discovered that you can put a permanent eject button on the top menu bar as follows:
go to System->Library->Core Services->Menu Extras
There you will find a veritable treasure-trove of extras, one of which is the eject.menu.
Double-click on the item to install it on the top menu bar.
Extra bonus:
There are many other items in the Menu Extras folder that you can install on the menu bar the same way.
To remove a menu bar item, hold down the Command key and drag the menu item onto the desktop. You will get a "poof" as it disappears. Only the link is "poofed" not the actual item.

Is there a way to temporarily disable the iPod in the iPhone. I am trying to stream from an app and it gets overridden by the iPod initializing

Is there a way to temporarily disable the iPod within my iPhone. I am trying to stream music using an app and a dock on my Sony AIR and the stream is over ridden by the iPod starting up.

First of all, an idle threat is one that a person has no intention of carrying out. In the past 16 months that I have had this phone I have become less and less satisfied and found that it is like much of today's technology....over rated and under performing. The one thing that I have never been accused of is not wanting, or not giving help but when a company makes itself unavailable to resolve issues and leaves it to forums run by users helping users, it speaks more about the company than anything else they could do. As I said, I do not make idle threats and I did not threaten you in any way. Guess I'll call this topic done with as it is not and was not the intent to get a war started

Is there anyway to suppress or disable the save as jpeg options dialog box on individiual images/pic

Is there anyway to suppress or disable the save as jpeg options dialog box on individiual images/pictures?

UI dialogs are an application setting, not a file property. Selectively suppressing them on a per-file basis is not possible, but you can of course create an action and suppress the dialogs...

V570 - Is there a shortcut key to disable the Touchpad?

V570 - Is there a shortcut key to disable the Touchpad? Not a solid typist and i continually hit the pad which messes up my typing. Would like to shut it off but be able to turn back on quickly. Thanks!!

I had this same problem and the F6 function key did not work. I also could not manually disable the touchpad via Device Manager. I reinstalled the touchpad driver and am now able to use F6 to disable, though I still cannot via Device Manager. I installed the Synaptics PS/2 driver for Lenovo V570c onto my V570 and it works.

How do I disable the startup sound on macbook pro 7,1?

I need to disable the startup sound on the macbook pro 7,1 running 10.6.8. If anyone can give me info I would appreciate it.

Look for Startup Sound on Macupdate.com
You really shouldn't turn it off, as if there is a error you won't be able to hear the beep codes.
However you can lower the volume.

Is there a terminal command to disable the "Boing' sound ?
