Stop start up sound

how do i stop the start up sound being so loud. i tried Ninja but that did not work. thanks

The solutions I've found.
Sometimes plugging something into the headphone jack will slience the speakers (except sometimes it doesn't; such as on my 27" iMac ).
Sometimes if you mute the sound before restart that will slience the speakers. Works on my Macbook/Macbook Por, but again not my 27" iMac.
What finally worked on my 27" iMac as Psst

You can run it in demo mode until you are happy enough to pay for it. I eventually did pay for it.

I have just started with apple tv. I rented and downloaded a movie from itunes on my macbook pro and tried to watch it. I got the movie up, but it only played a picture for about 3 seconds and then stopped, also no sound? What am I doing wrong?

Please help me play a rented itunes video on apple tv. Have a pictue and movie runs for about three seconds, and then stops. No sound? But I can play any music from my library with sound?

Is the movie still buffering? you may have a slow internet connection. Music files require far less bandwidth than movies.

Stop/Play All Sounds Too

Hi There,
The play / stop button I have works...but the sound files
continue playing.
This is the script I have:
button1.onPress = function() {
MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_root.direction == "stop"){
this.stop();
}else {
this.play();
_root.direction = "stop";
button2.onPress = function() {
_root.direction = "go";
//delete MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame;
is there any way to stop/play the sound files (in the current
frame) also?

Solution is simple and ok but you don't actually stop the
sound, just mute
it so it continue to play tho you just don't hear it.
You can toggle stop start using simple boolean
buttonName.onPress = function() {
(playing=!playing) ? sound1.stop() : sound1.start(0, 999);
Assuming the sound was attach using something like :
sound1 = new Sound(this);
sound1.attachSound("loopSound");
sound1.start(0, 999);

Has Mavericks stopped my Airplay sound?

I have recently purchased a new MacBook Pro, I was hoping the new addition would solve the problem I've been having with my Apple TV. Both my new MacBook and my iMac, which is only 4 months old, are both running Mavericks and both have stopped playing any sound through my Apple TV. Has anyone else been having this problem?

Hello jomon95,
I understand that AirPlay is an important feature of the Apple TV, and I would be concerned too if the audio was not working using AirPlay.
Because both your MacBook pro and your iMac are very new (congratulations!), I recommend first checking to see if your Apple TV has the latest updates:
To update your Apple TV to the current software version:
Select Settings > General > Update Software. Apple TV checks for an available update; if one is available, a download message should appear.
Click Download and Install to start the download process.
Do not disconnect your Apple TV during the update process. The Apple TV status light may flash slowly during the update and restart process. This is expected behavior.

If your Apple TV is up to date or the audio is still not working, I recommend following the steps in this article:

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

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

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

Macbook without start up sound

Good morning everyone.
I´ll tell you a little about my problem. I have a macbook 13" mid 2010 mod A1342. Last week, after cleaning with a cleaning foam for PC´s, I think i used so much foam into the keyboard, because i started up and wont start, i let pass time and tried to start up, it started but some keys was in dead short, and the laptop turns off, i cleaned again with fairly isopropyl alcohol in the entire surface and the back of the keyboard, i wait for it to dry for 2 days and the in tried again, the mac start and works fine without pushing any key, but some key was making dead short, i was using my iphone as a wireless keyboard the trackpad works fine.
Consulting with an apple tech center they pdiagnosed the keyboard probably was in dead short and but i have to left them to a entire diagnose.
I buy the piece(upper case) and i replaced by my self (i´m a desktop support techinician for mac and windows), the macbook works fine again with all the keys including mutimedia keys. but the start up sound was gone, now the sound is very low, the speakers works fine i probe it whit de audio midi config. app, i disconnect the speaker off the board, the spearkers of the keyboard works fine but with a very low sound, when i put a headphone or an external speakers the soud works very fine and with a hig volume.
Due to the constant reebots without turn off properly, the volume(image) of the mac was corrupt, i´ve tried to repair it with the Disc Utility app but the volume was very damaged, i tried to reinstall preserving my files but there´s no oprtion for that , the only option was a clean installation. i think a clean installation fix the trouble, but the sound was the same, after installing all the updates to this day, the result was the same. In the information menu displays onboard sound, in the prefs pane the output have onboard sound to play sounds, i configured into the audio and midi app the stereo option, bunt the sound is still low.
I don´t think the problem was the logic, beacuse it plays sound into headphones and the internal speaker and the keybooard speaker, the problem is only the startup sound gone and the level of the sound is very low (sound like a cell phone). i tried to reset the PRAM, in the faqs apple say that i have to hear 2 startups sounds and the i have to realease the pushed keys, but in my case there´s no sound, the laptop restart as they say, but without sound, i´m not sure if the PRAM was restored or not, i push the keys (cmd+op+p+r) turn the MB it try to start the a little bit reboot by it self, tyr to start, again reboot by it self, but without sound, if i keep pushing the keys the procees won´t stop, if i release the keys the macbook start fine(without sound), but i not sure if the PRAM was restored.
I hope anyone can help me.

i also got this kind of problem recently. i was connected to a speaker n the start up sound just didnt come out till i plugged out the speaker jack. this happen after i finished reinstalling my mac os x (snow leopard) including the updates. the condition worsen by having a delay when i started up my mbp for the 3rd or 4th times. the screen just black n i got a delay for 3 to 4 seconds till finally i heard the start up sound back n see the apple logo n the loading gear came out. i later restarted the mbp again to see whether the same problem occurs bt somehow it didnt. weird things happen to my mbp these days.. what should i do? any suggestion? :O

How can I turn off Start up Sound?

How can I turn off the start up sound, on both my 10.7.5 iMac 24" Late 2006 and my 10.8.3 iMac 27" Late 2009 Mountain Lion.
Plus my Superdrive has stopped working on both Computers. Please help asap.
With kind regards, and many thanks.

The best way to turn off the startup sound is to mute speakers before turning off your computer.
Also, apps that help you turn off the startup sound don't work with iMacs. There's a command that will allow you to turn it off without muting your speakers. See > http://osxdaily.com/2012/11/04/disable-mac-boot-chime/

Start up sound too loud

Hi there , how do you stop the blasting sound every time i start the mac most of my work at night it's too loud how do change that. i looked in system preferences i couldn't it find how to do it. can you help me thanks.

From my experience, the volume your speakers are set to, is the volume your startup sound is set at i.e. low volume - low startup sound; high volume - high startup sound. Also, I noticed that it differentiates the volume setting between your speakers and earphones/output plug. In System preference you'll notice there are two volume controls, one for alerts and the other for output devices so one of those have got to control the startup sound.
Please let me know if that sorts it out.

'Charger unplugged. Tap ok to stop this annoying sound'....

Last night I plugged my Q10 in and suddenly it starts wailing like a siren.... I look at the phone and see the message 'Charger unplugged/. Tap ok to stop this annoying sound'... Thing is, the charger was NOT unplugged and I have NO IDEA what is making this noise...
SAME thing happened again just now when I plugged it into my work computer...
Is this a virus?? is that even possible? I haven't downloaded any new apps or anything..
Quite confused.

That alert is alarming. I had it go off for a severe weather alert and the office started to clear out as it was same sound for the building alert to exit. Didn't know about it and took me a few seconds to tap it out and corral the office mates who were abandoning ship. I thought that alert for the charger was an app designed to alert you if someone tries to pinch your phone while it is on charger and then taken off without your knowledge. Sounds like your phone is malfunctioning for this alert. Dunno the fix other than tapping, maybe someone else will chime in.

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...
And when question has been answered,one need to consider

It's just the Google homepage tribute to Pacman turning 30 today. A playable game starts up automatically, use the arrow keys to move Pacman. It's fun!
You can get Ms Pacman to appear in that game by clicking the "insert coin" button twice and using the WASD keys to move :)
You can also just change your homepage to something other than google until tomorrow.

Thanks for your answer friend. My admin has successfully killed my session forcebully. And he doubted that i may not have enough rights to Stop/Start application and he provided me the required rights. After that also the error is repeating as below. we two are not getting where we went wrong.

HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync!

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?
