I opened the Terminal and it VoiceOver started reading a whole lot of unintelligible stuff that had my name in it somewhere and I decided to close it again as I thought I’d just have a simple edit box to paste the command into. But like everything in the computer world, nothing is easy.

Then type in term and it should bring terminal to the default Hit enter then I’d suggest just typing the command, It’s only a few words Or you should be able to go to that line in marks email and do a shift fn right arrow to highlight the entire line and then command c to cut etc. Hope that helps. *From:*[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> *On Behalf Of *Petrus Tuerlings *Sent:* Sunday, 23 February 2020 1:00 PM *To:* [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> *Subject:* Re: Bring back your Mac's startup chime with this simple terminal command, 9 to 5 Mac Hi all, Let me rephrase when I say dummy instructions. Where and what is the Terminal and how does one copy and paste that command into it? I No how to select an entire document or email by pressing command a to select all, but I’ve never worked out how to select word by word or letter by letter? And once I’ve selected it I don’t know where to go to paste it?

Read on for more details. Mark Bring back your Mac's startup chime with this simple terminal command By Michael Potuck Apple's Mac startup chime became an iconic signature of the company's computers over the years and then in late 2016, it was removed for all Macs going forward with the exception of the 2017 MacBook Air. In a fun development today, there's a short terminal command that's been discovered that will bring back your Mac's startup chime. Back in 2016, there was a similar terminal command discovered to keep the startup chime, but Apple killed it not too long after. Now it seems Apple has brought back the hidden option at some point with macOS Catalina. Today, Twitter user @chaysegr shared a video showing his MacBook Pro booting up with the iconic chime. He shared the terminal command that you can run to bring it back on your Mac: sudo nvram StartupMute=%00 Type or copy and paste that command in Terminal then press return (enter your password if required). We verified that the command does indeed work on a couple of our machines here at 9to5Mac. Shortly after, @tempaccountnull discovered that "sudo nvram StartupMute=%01" will turn it back to the default of no chime. For a fun look behind the scenes of the making and history of the Mac startup chime, check out this interview with the creator Jim Reekes. What do you think? Are you excited to have the Mac chime back? Share your thoughts in the comments below? Thanks, Dylan!
