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.

How do I Stop 'Start up Chime' on OSx 10.8.5

How do I Stop 'Start up Chime' on OSx 10.8.5

CHIME CRIME update
no luck as yet! Working at home office and early starts are awful with the Chime so loud!!!!
I tired the adding programme to Terminal...did not work.
Also 'Chime Stopper'- (yet to test) https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/13170/startup-chime-stopper
But...
I found last night the 'Startup Pref Pane' in System Prefs... this should stop the 'Chime Crime'
so i can only test this and see what happens
This could be the answer for OSX 10.8.5....
Will update you all if it works

Can not turn off, disable, mute, STOP the Apple boot start up chime on MacBook Pro using Yosemite 10.10.1

I understand why Apple forces the boot chime upon us for marketing and diagnostics, but I really want to disable the start up chime when booting my MacBook Pro laptop.
I have tried the sudo commands that worked in Mavericks.
nvram SystemAudioVolume=%80
and
nvram SystemAudioVolume=%00
They do not work with Yosemite.
I have also tried muting my laptop before shutting down and muting the sound entirely in System Preferences. This method does not work either.
Every time I boot the laptop I have to annoy every one in the library, or the cafe, or the airport, or the workplace.
Anyone have a solution for this?

I did that prior to posting, and the choices are very limited, or unreliable based on comments. There doesn't seem to be an app that can do this for 10.10.1 StartNinja was the only app that seems decent, but doesn't list Yosemite as a supported OSX version. I would like to avoid using an app to accomplish this anyway.
Then you are out of luck. Apple does not provide an on & off option or software regarding the start up chimes.

Start up chime

my macbook pro's chime stopped working everytime i turned it on. so i reseted the PRAM, which made the chime work again. now that its been reseted, the chime turns on even if i have muted the sound before shutting it down. how can i fix this?

Thanks Pennbank.
I tried resetting SMC then the PRAM and still have the loud chime when everything is set to mute. When you hold down the left, shift>option>control>power button, are you suppose to hold it down so it starts up and then let go of them and press power again? I held them all down for a few seconds and nothing happened so released them and pushed power. Not knowing what I'm doing, I didn't want to mess anything up.
I did get a message from someone and this is what they wrote. I got an Apple upgrade last week and this is when I noticed the change in the start up chime. Unfortunately I don't have the option of taking it too an Apple store unless I drive 6 hours.
Hey Pam,
I took it to the store and the person had to mute it themselves, instead of actually muting, he just lowered the sound. He said that he couldnt mute it completely but made it as quite as possible. He said that some people that got the last update ended up getting the one where the people who created the update forgot to add the option to adjust the chime. so basically, i got the update that screwed me over with the chime option. I now have the chime where i basically cant turn it off but its quite enough where it won't distract others in the library. Hope this helps

Turning Off Start-Up Chime

Hello:
How can I turn off the Start-Up Chime? I had it off when I was using SL, but dont remember where to go or how to turn it off.
Thanks.

Some systems allow you to "Mute" sound and that will stop the startup chime (such as Macbooks and Macbook Pros).
However, other systems insist on ringing the chime, such as iMacs.
For my iMac I use an app called Psst which silences the startup chime.
<http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/16780/psst>
There are other apps that will do the same thing.

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 ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop. The ipod touch starts charging then stops. This keeps continuing. Please help.

my ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop or itunes. Its not being shown on my computer and its not shown as 'unspecified' in the 'devices window'. The ipod touch starts charging then stops this keeps continuing like a ongoing circle. Please help.
I have tried on my family members laptop and its seems to be picking up. So the ipod or the usb wire is not the issue.
I have tried everything from reinstalling itunes and updating windows.
I have tried the diagnostics test and its still says the ipod cannot be found.

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

If I have manually set "Start Time" and "Stop Time" for songs, and my hard drive is backed up in Time Machine, when files/songs are transferred on new hard drive, will my "Start Time" "Stop Time" options be there?

My Macbook Pro will be going in for reimaging and my hard drive will be wiped, I want to know if all my iTunes preferences will be copied if I have backed them up on Time Machine. Specifically, if I have set certain "Start Time" and "Stop Time" for my songs, and I copy my iTunes library, will these "Start Time" and "Stop Time" options remain or will I have to manually set them one by one once again? I need a reply ASAP! Thanks so much!

As far as I'm aware the start & stop times are stored in the library database, not the media files. If you backup/restore/transfer the whole library then the settings are included. If you create a complete copy of your iTunes folder on another drive you can connect to that copy by holding down option/alt as you start iTunes so you can check that everything is working properly before you send the Macbook away.

"Accounting-Start" and "Accounting-Stop" with same "user name" and "session Id" recorded in different RADIUS servers.

Hi,
I have questions about "Accounting-Start" and "Accounting-Stop".
1.If a NAS configured to have a primary and a backup RADIUS server. To start with all the “Accounting-Start” records will be in the primary RADIUS server. Later on the primary server goes down (Primary server won’t tell the NAS?). When sessions stop, the NAS sends the “Accounting-Stop” to the secondary. I understand the “Start-Stop” record with the same “user name” and “session-id” ideally should be recorded in the same server. If this situation happens what should both the NAS and RADIUS server do?
2.A NAS configured to have a primary and backup RADIUS server. To start with all the “Accounting-Start” records will be in the primary RADIUS server. Later on the administrator decided to change the primary server (as there are problems with the previous primary). sessions stop, the NAS sends the “Accounting-Stop” to the new primary. This ends up the “Accounting-Start” and “Accounting-Stop” with the same “user name” and “session Id” in two RADIUS servers.
To summarize, how to avoid the ”start-stop” pair ends up in different servers ? If it does, is it an issue for RADIUS application ?
Cheers,

vignesh and BalusC,
following is the code in front controller's doFilter method. is this not thread safe?
        HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;
        HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse) response;
        HttpSession session = req.getSession();
        somepackage.User user;
        if(session.getAttribute("user") == null){
            user = new somepackage.User();
            session.setAttribute("user", user);
        }else{
            user = (somepackage.User) session.getAttribute("user");
        }user object maintains all information about a user. if it is in session scope, everything should work fine.
another observation is after some time of usage, both people in different systems are getting same session.getId()
in my logout page i am using
session.invalidate();
thanks,
moses

The visual Studio Test controller service on local computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs

Please guide me how to resolve this problem.
Thanks in Advance...

Hi Divakar,
What’s the version of your TFS?
How do you configure the test control?
Please make sure you are specify the team collection instead of team project.
On the other hand, you may enable test controller logs. (You could share the log file on the OneDrive)

Uploading newer ios on Ipad 2 - things were going well then got a picture of the apple logo and a line moving from start to end - stopped short of end and can't do anything now - HELP

Try a soft-reset and see if that gets it to boot up properly : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should reappear and it will hopefully boot up.
If it doesn't then try recovery mode and restore/resync your content : If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Analysis Services started and then stopped, Event ID: 0xC1210000

I just installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition and SP1 and SP2. I cannot start Analysis Services. The message box states: The SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER) service on Local Computer started and then stopped.     I looked in the log files located at: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\OLAP\Log and found these entries:
msmdsrv.log:

During installation I did get an unhandled exception (I don't know what component caused the exception). I have found this in the SQLDUMPER_ERRORLOG.log file:

06/14/07 17:39:38, ACTION,               msmdsrv.exe, Watson Invoke: No
Any ideas how to get this service started?

Does anyone have any idea on this problem? My installation of SQL Server Analysis Services worked fine. I now have the same error as Lucy. This happened after no upgrading of SQLSERVER. It must have issues with security patches on the OS, or maybe service packs for Visual Studio (2005). And no reinstallation of the patch is not the answer (or rebooting).
The service times out and tells me to check the logs. The msmdsrv.log file indicates any unhandled exception -
Message: The service cannot be started: Internal error: An unexpected exception occured. (Source: \\?\C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\OLAP\Log\msmdsrv.log, Type: 3, Category: 289, Event ID: 0xC1210000)

Message: (Source: \\?\C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\OLAP\Log\msmdsrv.log, Type: 3, Category: 256, Event ID: 0xC1000016)
I have tried reinstalling, changed users for the service, changes instance names. The logging tells me nothing, except there is a big problem.
I even installed the SQL Server SP2 hoping to fix whatever the problem was. Now I also have SSIS throwing an exception and wanting to attach a debugger to it on top of my original problem. After reading about all of the problems with SQL Server SP2, I think I created a bigger monster. Uninstalling leaves around all kind of files, registry entries, and program numbers.
Thanks for ANY hints to proceed.
