Location of start up chime file

At work I have an HP Tablet. I want to change the start up tone to the Mac Chime. Where is this file located on my iMac? Or, if I can't get to it, is a file online anywhere.

Hi--
Check out MacTracker. It has startup chimes for various Mac models.
To get to the chimes, download the app. Right click on the application icon and choose "Show Package Contents" from the contextual menu. Burrow down through Contents/Resources/Chimes.
The only other way I can think of to get the sounds would be to hook your computer's audio output to another computer's input, then reboot and record the sound (that's probably how they got those sounds for MacTracker).

How to find name of report if I know name of instance and location of instance in Output File Store

Hello all,
can somebody help me to find name of the report if I know name of report instance and also location of instance in Output File Store. It should be done via Query Builder.
It is ...rpt file as output from Crystal Reports. I tried few commands in Query Builder but usually they finished with timeout error.
Could you help me and send specific command? Or way how to change timeout of Query Builder?
Thanks.
matus

Hello all,
We finally found solution.
We knew that file is located on path .../Output/a_145/009/002/133521/~ce10c.....9332.rtf
This file has more than 2 GB. We tried to find which report is related and provide necessary actions.
As I mentioned we still failed due to timeout error - There was an error retrieving data from the server: CMS operation timed out after 9 minutes.
So we tried to use our testing environment. We started there QueryBuilder and there we successfully tested that we found details about files from FileStore /like Name of the report in Launch Pad, CUID, ...
SELECT SI_NAME, SI_CUID, SI_FILES FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_FILES.SI_PATH = 'frs://Input/a_148/020/000/5268/'
or
SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_FILES.SI_PATH = 'frs://Input/ a_148/020/000/5268/'

Blank Screen after start-up chime, won't start

I'm rather perplexed as to what's happened to my PowerBook. I'll run throught it
PowerBook 12" 1.33 768
Background:
I've just updated it to 10.4.4, which caused it to get stuck at the Apple symbol and spinning wheel. I had to restart in single user mode and run applejack, restart again and it was fine.
Recently the PowerBook started to not wake from sleep, I'd have hold down the power button then restart it. I thought it had done teh same thing today, but this time it makes the start-up chime but gets no further than a blank (dark, black) screen.
I tried inserting the Mac OS X CD and start up holding down the C key, but still same blank screen (with the added benefit that I'm now unable to remove the CD)
I tried plugging it into an external monitor, but nothing.
I've tried resetting the Preference RAM and the PMU. With some limited success. On occasion after resetting the PRAM, turning it off then back on, it starts with something like a extra blow of air from the fan and white blank screen instead of a black one. It then won't turn off at all, the only way is to pull the power and the battery.
I've noticed that when the ac adapter is plugged in and i've the white screen it flashes very quickly, orange.
I tried starting in Tartget disc mode connected to an iMac, the disc doesn't appear.
I tried starting up with an external firewire drive attached, nothing.
I've tried starting holding the keys for open firmware mode, nothing.
I've removed the AirPort card, no change.
I removed the extra 512mb RAM with no change.
The screen is clearly working, has anyone any ideas how to get it started?
Any help would be appreciated, it's a second hand PowerBook and so has no AppleCare.
Cheers
Stuart

I had the EXACT same problem happen to me, Stuartea71. My PowerBook crashed on the on Feb. 4th and I still can't figure it out. I had just dowloaded the 10.4.4 update, bought iLife 06, and ordered a new battery.
I tried every single thing that you did above. I finally called customer support, and walked me through a few things which I had already tried, but she finally pin pointed something in disk utility that I missed. My disk would not mount. In red letters it said "failing." She told me that was a internal HD problem that needs to be fixed by a certified tech.
I did something I'd never done before. I put my HD to sleep to optimize battery performance. I work with podcasts and downloaded a large file. Unfortunately I forgot my battery setting. I chalk it up as a lesson learned, and just bit the bullet and ordered a MacBook Pro.
BTW... if you all customer service they basically read directly from the Apple Website. I paid $49 dollars for someone to tell me my mac was broken and send it in.

My iMac turns on the start up chime sounds, you see the apple icon on the screen and then it just shuts off. Any ideas?

Do these two resets:
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
PRAM RESET
Zap the PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

My iMac all of the sudden started going in and out of the dashboard, then started changing all files on the desktop to 2's. It also did this when having another window open. Do I have a virus?

There are no viruses that can affect Apple OS X.
What files do you keep on the Desktop? How many?
Performance tip: Keep the Desktop clutter-free (empty, if possible)
Mac OS X's Desktop is the de facto location for downloaded files, and for many users, in-progress works that will either be organized later or deleted altogether. The desktop can also be gluttonous, however, becoming a catch-all for files that linger indefinitely.
Unfortunately - aside from the effect of disarray it creates - keeping dozens or hundreds of files on the Desktop can significantly degrade performance. Not necessarily because the system is sluggish with regard to rendering the icons on the desktop and storing them in memory persistently (which may be true in some cases), but more likely because keeping an excessive number of items on the Desktop can cause the windowserver process to generate reams of logfiles, which obviously draws resources away from other system tasks. Each of your icons on your desktop is stored as a window in the window server, not as an alias. The more you have stored, the more strain it puts on the window server. Check your desktop for unnecessary icons and clear them out.
Keeping as few items as possible on the Desktop can prove a surprisingly effective performance boon. Even creating a single folder on your Desktop and placing all current and future clutter inside, then logging out and back in can provide an immediately noticeable speed boost, particularly for the Finder.
And it is why Apple invented 'Stacks' for Leopard.
Here is Apple's take on the subject:

Firefox chrashes when i open downloads or start downloading a file

when i start download a file or open downloads inside firefox, firefox freezez and chrashes that happens all the time now, tried reinnstalling it but didnt work.
any help?

Do you have a lot of downloads showing in the Downloads window? <br />
If so, clear that window using the '''Clear List''' button at the bottom of that window.
Firefox attempts to locate every downloaded file that would appear in that window every time it is opened. If the list is long, or files have been deleted or moved, that will increase the time it takes to open that window and display the contents.

Faint start up chime on G3

Recently when starting, my tangerine iMac G3 has a very faint startup chime. Otherwise, the sound works fine (I'm using it to stream iTunes from Airtunes). Is there any indication here that there may be problems on the way? The G3 is running OS 10.2.8. Thanks.

I wanted a faint start-up chime so I installed 'Startup Sound Pref Pane'.Did you and have forgotten?
If not perhaps install it and use it to correct the volume. As OS X has the start-up volume as a seperate preference it just looks like it's become corrupt(?).
Other things to try if settings are incorrect or corrupt is to reset the PRAM, or go in to the Library and trash related preference files. (i.e. com.apple.systemprefs.plist)

Start up Chime stopped

Recently noticed the start up chime stopped. I fixed permissions, dumped start up files and rebooted while depressing Control/option/r/p. It worked again! Then had reason to restart later and the chime was gone.
Is this something to be concerned about? If so, where do I go from here?
Thank you for any info.

In a situation like this reseting the pram usually brings the chime right back like normal like you said. But it seems to turn off if you mute the sound. The only way to bring it back is like you said reset the pram.

There is no sound on my IMac-also no start up chime sound

Suddenly, the sound is gone on my IMac. I don't get a start up chime sound, either. I recently installed software updates and don't know if this has anything to do with it. (OS X version 10.6.8). I will install Snow Leopard soon but want to resolve this first.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'vd done the obvious- checked to make sure the mute wasn't on, loooked at sound settings, etc.
Recently the fan was kicking on high. I don't know if this is a sign of an impending crash.

Is there something plugged into the iMac's audio output port? If so unplug it, restart the iMac and then plug it back in.
If not, reset the SMC > Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
3. Wait fifteen seconds.
4. Attach the computer's power cord.
5. Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.

Then re-check for sound output.

Accidentally, I wiped out the start up system files.. How can I start up my Mac HD?

Air.. How can I start up my Mac HD?

Reboot your computer. Hold down the option key when you hear the chime sound. Go to the recovery partition. Re-install the operating system. It's easy and doesn't take that long (15 to 30 minutes depending on your computer). By default it does an archive and install meaning that you won't lose your files, just read the screen carefully and you'll be fine. It's not a big deal.

In Mountain Lion, how do I find the location of an open Preview File? The file "properties" tab is no longer available.

I typically have several open Preview files at any one time and often forget where, sometimes if, I saved them. In Mountain Lion, how do I find the location of an open Preview File? Tried holding option + command in spotlight but I don't see a path name appear anywhere.

Yes, cmd-option on a file you choose in Spotlight and the path will appear at the bottom of the Preview window.
EDIT: Also, if it is bookmarked the path is in Bookmarks.

Photoshop CS 4 says to update my drivers. Then every time I try to start a new file, it crashes. I have updated my drivers, but it is still happening.

Photoshop CS4 is telling me I need to update my graphics drivers. When I try to start a new file, it crashes. I have updated my drivers, but it is still happening. Please help as I cannot use the software at all at this point and I desperately need it. I am using a HP desk top with Windows Vista Home Premium with a NVIDIA graphics card.

See if HP has a different update. It may be proprietary, specific to your machine.

Ctrl-c in bash kill openbox started from rc file as background job

Hi,
Ctrl-c in bash kill openbox started from rc file as background job.
strange, isn't it ?

I want to have openbox in the job list of a bash. as if my xinitrc was "exec xterm" and I manualy enter the "openbox &" commande in the xterm window. I suppose this is a common wish : telling bash to read from file then from keyboard, but that not exactly what bashrc do.
"ps j" for openbox started in bashrc

ps have PGID equal to the bash TPGID, so it is foreground. openbox from PROMPT_COMMAND have his own PGID, so it is background. openbox from bashrc share PGID wish bash ... so if bash do not consume Ctrl-c signal openbox receive it ? I assume it is some things like this, but why ? INVOCATION and JOB CONTROL sections in bash manpage do not seems describe this, so that's a strange behaviour.

How do I stop GoLive from changing the location of my CSScriptLib.js file?

How do I stop GoLive from changing the location of my CSScriptLib.js file?
I am making rollovers and want my CSScriptLib.js to be in the same folder as my HTML files.
Every time I edit the rollovers GoLIve recreates the path of the CSScriptLib.js to file:///Users/xxx/Library/Preferences/Adobe/GoLive/Settings8/JScripts/GlobalScripts/CSScr iptLib.js so it won't work when uploaded. I always need to edit my HTML before uploading. All I want it to say is src="CSScriptLib.js" as the default.

The site file is a database that keeps track of all your assets (and much more), including the scriptLib file. As soon as the page is saved (when you use the site file and it's open) the link will be change to the correct path that will work on the server.
If you're not using the site file you might as well use a text editor, since most of GL functionality is gone.
