Turning off startup sound?

Is there a way to turn off the long tone that macs make when they turn on?

In addition to V.K's suggestion, you can put your MacBook to sleep by closing the lid, instead of shutting down. Waking from sleep makes no startup sound. The only time a MacBook needs to be shut down is to remove the battery.

  • How do I turn off startup sound?

    Every computer I ever had, the first thing I do is to turn off the startup sound because it is very annoying in a public place and sometimes in a quiet place. I have not been able to find out how to trun it off on my Air. I asked the guys at the stores and they just say you can't. That is really dumb. I turned off my speaker but that is not a practical way because I may not remember to turn it off when I shut down.
    The question is how do I turn it off permenantly.
    Love to know.
    Thanks.

  • Turn off startup sound and red led.

    Hey,
    i need to turn off my vado startup sound, how to i do that?
    Also, i dont want my red led to light up when i am filming. Help needed with that on also.
    Thanks.

    Turn "Instant Record" on in the setting by pressing the Play/Pause and Delete buttons at the same time. When it comes out of sleep mode it doesn't make a sound.
    Being able to turn off the display while recording would also be useful or at least be able to dim it. I've disturbed some people while recording a play in a dark theatre. And I know it bothers me when someone is playing with there cell phone or other device in a low light situation.

  • How to turn off startup sound on iMac desktop ?

    can anybody tell me how to turn off the annoying sound on startup with the Imac ?
    i cannot find it anywhere in the setup.
    thanks for yor feedback

    Hello:
    Mute your computer before you shut it down.
    Incidentally, that "annoying sound" is an audible notification that the Mac has successfully performed self-tests on startup.  If you get anything other than a single chime, you have trouble.

  • How to turn off startup sound

    The startup sound is not necessary; most applications do not have one
    Especially when my speakers are up higher than I realized, this can become a problem.
    It would be nice if it were just taken out of future versions of Skype (or disabled by default), but I'm hoping that for now there is at least an option/means to disable it?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Do you mean the sound it makes when you log into Skype? If you go into Skype preferences (just press "Cmd - ," if you can't find it) under "Notifications", and then under "Details", when the dropdown menu next to "Event:" says "When I sign in", you can uncheck the tickbox next to "Play sound". Hope it helps.

  • How can I turn off the sound from the original midi  or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

    How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
    I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

    Dan,
    It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
    Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
    This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
    One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
    Hope that helps

  • How to turn off camera sound???

    Every time i start a vid or take a screenshot or photo it makes the shutter sound and ive put it on mute and everything HOW DO I TURN IT OFF???? I WANT TO TAKE PICS OF PEOPLE PLAYING GAMES IN CLASS BUT I CANT BECAUSE OF THE SOUND!!!!!!!

    In the US, it is possible to turn off the sound, but not just by using the mute switch (I know, I tried that and it did not work for me).
    Golfnhi's solution did work for me.
    I need to have the camera silent because I mostly use it to scan portions of books at the library for research.  Yes, that is allowed.  I checked with the librarian.  However, I do not want to bother other patrons of the library with the constant shutter sound.  It is simply too annoying.  So, I'm glad there is a solution out there.

  • How to turn off camera sound on Nokia E5

    I cannot turn off camera sound on Nokia E5-00. Who can help me?

    @navbond007
    Hi navbond007,
    Digital camera's do have a sounds when a picture is being taken but this noise isn't artificial like in mobile phones it is the shutter mechanism. Some digital camera's shutter makes a low or no noise but they do have a beep to give an indication that a picture is being taken. In countries where this is compulsory by law it should give some indication that a picture is being taken.
    Also please take into account one device is a phone and the other a dedicated camera.

  • How to turn off camera sound lenovo s6000

    how to turn off camera sound lenovo s6000?
    thank you

    well , you're right, but the law argues that a digital camera looks like a digital camera so it's easier to spot by the person being photographed. also, a digital camera has no other function but to take pictures, so one can't assume it's being used for any othe purpose. on the othe hand, a phone can't be identified as a camera right away. so it's easier to take pictures of unwilling subjects.
    Fear not those who argue but those who dodge

  • I have read the thread about turning off dialpad sounds when calling a number. I used to always be able to do this on my 4S but not so since the latest software on the 5. Keyboard clicks are turned off and still have dialpad sound. I've NEVER had to mute.

    I have read the thread about turning off dialpad sounds when calling a number. I used to always be able to do this on my 4S but not so since the latest software on the 5. Keyboard clicks are turned off and still have dialpad sound. I've NEVER had to mute to dial before.

    I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
    Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.

  • How can I turn off the sounds of the firefox? I don't want to turn off my whole computer sounds, but just the sounds which comes from the internet. Is there any master button?

    All the websites doesn't allow you to turn off the sounds, but that is just the thing I need to do. So how can I turn off the web browsers sounds? This is so small thing, that I refuse to believe that this kind of button doesn't exits.

    In Vista you can set the volume and mute setting for each application separately in the volume mixer.
    You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
    You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window.<br />
    You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.

  • How do you reduce/turn off keypad sound when making a phone call

    How do you reduce/turn off keypad sound when making a phone call?

    If I understand the question correctly, it is not about turning off keyboard clicks, it's about silencing the beeps made when manually keying in a  phone number. With keyboard clicks turned off, the beeps still sound when keying in a phone number. If I'm reading the iPhone User Guide correctly, it explains how to turn off keyboard clicks but not how to silence the   beeps when keying in a phone number. The only way I have found to silence the beeps is to put the phone into silent mode.
