You say " I don't consider it neither environmentally friendly nor economical to always use sleep"īut you should consider that sleep is the way the systems are 'made' to work. There are some small 'utility' programs that can help with that.Īlso a couple of those utility programs give you access to a hidden setting that will mute the chime. You will need to find a way to remember to and to run the scripts during the times you have the computer powered up. Note that if you shut off your computer every day instead of letting it sleep it will not be able to run the nightly maintainance scripts that keep the system runniing smoothly.
#STARTNINJA MAC WINDOWS#
I am seriously considering switching back to Windows right now, because while I really like Mac, fearing that the sound will go off inhibits my usage of my computer and makes me feel a bit fooled that I spent $1500 (actually a bit more because I wanted a faster processor) on a computer that doesn't mute properly (I understand that this might not be a big deal for everyone but it is for me).Īs an aside. + Plugging in a headphone chord - does not work.Ī common problem is that a program supposed to mute the start-up sound only mutes it when the headphones are not plugged in, even though the start-up chime always come from the internal speakers. + Startup.prefpane - Does not work at all. + Startninja - Works often, but has turned off at occasions without me knowing it. + I furthermore do not want to mute the sound every time I shutdown, as I will forget to do this.
#STARTNINJA MAC MAC#
(Besides, if I happen to mute the sound before turning shutting down, I won't hear the chime either, so I will have to plan when my mac is going to crash either way.) + I know that the start-up sound has the use of indicating errors, but I do not think that this is prioritized over a silent start-up (The sound is very embarrassing in class etc). I am not going to be forced to use sleep by an annoying start-up chime either)

+ I do Not want to use sleep (my MBA starts fast enough, and I don't consider it neither environmentally friendly nor economical to always use sleep. As stated in the title: How do I permanently mute the start-up sound?
