When I went to turn the desktop on, the start up sound came on. Then the screen was white with an icon flashing. The icon is a file folder with a question mark on it. I cannot get it to fully turn on. HELP

Silence the start up sound?

I often find myself in the library wanting to use my macbook but i always know the last time i had it on i had the volume turned up and so when i press the power button that beautiful start up sound will come blaring out of the speakers which is really quite embarassing when everyone else is in silence!
is there a way to stop the start up sound playing without having muted the volume the previous time i used it?
(i don't want to turn the start up sound off completely just when i'm in a quiet place!)

hmm... people don't really seem to be understanding
the question...

MacBook will not power on and no start up sounds

My MacBook will not power on despite having a fully charged battery and the power cord has a green light. I used all of the support suggestions online and spoke with an apple care rep. I was told that it seemed as though it was a power flow issue- the power button is not responding properly. I was also told that it doesn't seem like it is affecting my hard drive since there are also no start up sounds.
My question is, is this problem fixable if I choose to sell the MacBook? And how costly is the solution?

Sorry about Necroing a 1 year old thread but I am having the same issue with the same Model. Laptop went dead overnight, no led indicator of power. Opened the laptop and tested the AC adapter. I get 19.5V exit on the cable. Tested the power connector on the motherboard and getting the same voltage. Capacitator to not seem damaged. Any suggestion on how to troubleshoot this further? I love that laptop

MMacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) switches on but internal display remains off/black .There is no start-up sound and the fan starts off normal but after about Five minutes begins to run even faster

Hi ,
My MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) switches on but internal display remains off/black .There is no start-up sound and the fan starts off normal but after about Five minutes begins to run even faster as if the machine is running a heavy load.It displayed a question mark some time back then a friend borrwed it ,he flashed the system and put windows 7.Then a few days pasted and now it wont display as stated.I have tried to Reset SMC and the Command + P + R + Power but still no response.Please assist?

I think your "friend" caused a problem (or two).
I do not know what "flashed the system" means......
Based on what was done, I would probably erase the HD and restore the system from a backup before the software changes were made.

Start Navigation sound in Windows 7 64 bit dissappeared

? [size="">I have been scratching my head over this one.
[size="">After doing a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on a new build this week, and installing a new X-Fi PCIe Titanium Fatality Pro, I found the start navigation windows sound was no longer there - I am talking about the brief sound you hear, that sounds like a click, when you click a link, double click a folder to open , etc. I could find the sound in windows sounds, but when I pressed test I could not hear it.
[size="">
[size="">After much trial and error, I discovered that I had to disable sound blaster enhancements, in the properties tab for speakers in the sound card settings. I now have that windows sound back.
[size="">When I enable sound blaster enhancements, it goes away, when I disable them, it is back to normal.
[size="">
[size="">Is this normal or unique to me?

Wow, that fixed? my problem also by disabling soundblaster enhancements. How were you able to figure that one out? I was trying to figure it'sout also many months ago when I first got windows 7 beta and couldn't do it. Anyway,
Seems like most people don't like this start navigation sound, but I do.
I don't like the fact of having to disable soundblaster enhancements also.
Have you noticed that if you change the windows theme to something else it will actually work?

My iMac won't boot, get a black screen with alarm sound, then gray screen with start up sound, then repeats

this problem started last fall after upgrading to Mavericks. If I shut down my computer (or restart) I have problems getting it going again. This is getting progressively worse. I hadn't shut down in over a month, forgot about this issue and shut down (which I used to do daily), so now I can't get my computer to boot. When I hit the power button I hear it starting, then a loud alarm sounds, then a long pause then start up sound with a gray screen with a progress bar. Once the progress bar fills, the screen goes black again for a bit. This whole process will repeat until I get frustrated and force - shut down by holding the power button. I have tried reseting the pram, starting up in safe mode, starting up with the command - R, starting up with my original install disc... none of it works. I'm at a loss! I do have an external hard drive that I have been using for Time Machine, but it's not recent because the disc needs repairs and I hadn't gotten around to buying a new HD to back up to first. Has anyone else had this problem? I really can't afford a big repair/replacement bill.

A long, steady, load tone followed by a progress bar can indicate it is trying to install a Firmware Update. Any other Tones would be multiple beeps and show an error code.

You can also see a progress bar similar to booting into Safe Mode. However, the firmware update bar is thinner vertically than the Safe Mode bar.

Either way, I would say something is wrong and it would be better evaluated at an Apple Store as Kappy points out.

Hello I got a iPad mini in January and the speakers have starting to sound like they are not working propyl can you help thank you

Hi antony136,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are not able to hear clearly through your iPad mini speakers, start with the troubleshooting steps in this article:
iOS: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1630
Note that some steps refer to troubleshooting on an iPhone, but the steps can help with an iPad mini as well.

Is there a way to shut off the start-up sound?

how do I turn off the start-up sound that plays when I turn on my macbook?

Try downloading Psst from www.macupdate.com. There is also another, called something like startupchime.prefpane or something like that. Look around macupdate using words like chime and startup chime, and you'll find a way.

Read post #3 again... the part about 100%
Also... lots of tutorial links
As well as the links below - another way to learn (including anyone else's bad habits) is to find a page you like, and then tell your web browser to show you the code view for the page and/or do a "Save As" and save the page to your computer to then copy & paste code segments into your file (in IE click View at the top, select Source from the options)

Video started to sound awful when i've updated to iOS6, how can this be fix?

Hi,
Ever sine i've updated to iOS6 this October, the sound of my videos on my iPad started to sound awful. I'm using the default video player for iPad. It sounds like there's an echo, bass sounds has totally low quality and etc.
I tried removing the videos(music video) on my iPad then resync it but it still sounds different from before. I've tested the sounds in my mp3 (same song) still sounds as expected. So my sound setting and my headset are not defective.
Please teach me how can i fix this issue.
Thanks

What app are you using?
Do you get sound from the YourTube app
From other website?
I suspect a problem with the specific site you are using, not an iPod problem. Can you post a link to that site?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!

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

My imac turns on with start up sound then nothing else just the timer going round

Try restarting holding down the SHIFT key. That will do a directory check in Safe mode. It will take longer to start so continue to be patient.
If it starts in Safe mode, then restart normally and see how that goes.
