Re: sound when iPhone is starting up from power off?

[Scott Granados]

That’s interesting, I’m with you though, Apple disabling this makes no sense.  
That chime is famous.  Independence Day (the first one) was another where the 
Apple chime was present.

This reminds me of the game of finding Bob in movies especially about 
computers.  Bob was on one of the screens in Jurassic Park for example.

Hey scott,

I know for a fact that a PRAM reset will also re enable the start up tones on 
your mac book or iMac.

I’ve got a colleague that mutes them all the time and I use it as a notifier to 
say the machine is powered on.

Thanks ET,

I'm interested to try that one,

 Or simply a PRAM reset does the audio reset as well.

RE: sound when iPhone is starting up from power off?

[Simon Fogarty]

Hell, I hadn't noticed that one.

 I'll have to give it a go with one at work.

I thought that was the key symbol of the apple mac computer line, basically 
it's been there since day one except for a couple of tone changes, it even made 
the movies when wali spread his solar panels to charge himself.

Hi,

Found this a couple of years ago, so some of you may already have had some fun 
with it.  Credit to OS X Daily for this.

Would you like your Mac to make a sound when the charge cable is connected, 
like your iOS device does?  Newer MacBooks already do this, but as long as you 
have 10.10.3 or higher and a Mac laptop, you can enable this feature.  I use it 
and like it a lot as I can know for sure that my cable has initiated the 
charging cycle audibly.  Instructions below:

To enable Playing a Power Chime Sound Effect on a MacBook Pro &
MacBook Air Disconnect the Mac from the MagSafe power source
Open the Terminal app, found in /Applications/Utilities/ Enter
the following command syntax, be sure there are no breaks as you’ll want to fit 
the entire sequence onto a single line (no it doesn’t matter if it wraps):
defaults write com.apple.PowerChime ChimeOnAllHardware -bool
true; open /System/Library/CoreServices/PowerChime.app &

Hit Return
Re-connect the MacBook power supply to hear the chime This will
enable the feature through the defaults command string and simultaneously 
launch the PowerChime application, the latter tiny app must be running in order 
for the power chime sound effect to trigger.

Now you just have to disconnect your MagSafe (or USB-C) power connector from 
the Mac, wait a second or two, then reconnect it. You’ll hear the familiar 
power connected / charging sound effect from your iPhone and iPad devices.

You can also trigger the sound effect manually, maybe you like the way it 
sounds or you’re just curious

To disable the Chime Sound Effect on Power Cable Connect in Mac OS X
You can also turn off the power chime sound effect when you connect a power 
cable to a Mac by issuing a different defaults command string within the OS X 
Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.PowerChime ChimeOnAllHardware -bool false;killall 
PowerChime

This will disable the sound effect when connecting a power cable on the MacBook 
Air, MacBook Pro, and yes, it will also disable the power chime sound effect on 
the MacBook line as well.

Many new MacBook owners have noticed this little feature, but the source of the 
audio was uncovered by @zwaldowski, who reports that some Macs will even have a 
vibrating trackpad with this feature enabled (a new Retina MacBook Pro does not 
offer that aspect).

Definitely disabled, not just on mine but all the new models we use at work.

You sure this chime has been disabled or is it just it has been muted on your

I think Aple might be moving away from power sounds, given that te
newest macbook pros don't make a sound when powering on anymore..

Who’s dumb idea was it to disable the chime anyway.  I mean that’s Apple’s 
thing, their trademark, I mean really they always had an interesting startup 
sound starting from the Apple 2 on up.  I’m going to try to figure this out now 
that I know a solution exists.

 Would you like your Mac to make a sound when the charge cable is 
 connected, like your iOS device does?  Newer MacBooks already do this, 
 but as long as you have 10.10.3 or higher and a Mac laptop, you can 
 enable this feature.  I use it and like it a lot as I can know for 
 sure that my cable has initiated the charging cycle audibly.  
 Instructions below:
 
 To enable Playing a Power Chime Sound Effect on a MacBook Pro & 
 MacBook Air
 Disconnect the Mac from the MagSafe power source
 Open the Terminal app, found in /Applications/Utilities/
 Enter the following command syntax, be sure there are no breaks as 
 you’ll want to fit the entire sequence onto a single line (no it 
 doesn’t matter if it wraps):
 defaults write com.apple.PowerChime ChimeOnAllHardware -bool true;

 Re-connect the MacBook power supply to hear the chime
 This will enable the feature through the defaults command string and 
 simultaneously launch the PowerChime application, the latter tiny app 
 must be running in order for the power chime sound effect to trigger.
 
 Now you just have to disconnect your MagSafe (or USB-C) power 
 connector from the Mac, wait a second or two, then reconnect it. 
 You’ll hear the familiar power connected / charging sound effect from 
 your iPhone and iPad devices.
 
 You can also trigger the sound effect manually, maybe you like the way 
 it sounds or you’re just curious what we’re talking about here. Use 
 the following command to play the power chime sound effect:

Re: sound when iPhone is starting up from power off?

[Scott Granados]

The Macs no longer have a chime on boot up, at least the new crop of laptops 
doesn’t.  You get the same beep the iPhone makes when you apply power but no 
more chime and frankly I miss the chime and wish it weren’t removed.

Re: sound when iPhone is starting up from power off?

[E.T.]

   The missing element here is, unlike the Mac, the iPhone does not 
emit a chime when its powered on. Its a lengthy wait until it boots and 
VO sounds off. A long wait to find out if it actually turned on.

Hi,

Found this a couple of years ago, so some of you may already have had some fun

Would you like your Mac to make a sound when the charge cable is connected, 
like your iOS device does?  Newer MacBooks already do this, but as long as you 
have 10.10.3 or higher and a Mac laptop, you can enable this feature.  I use it 
and like it a lot as I can know for sure that my cable has initiated the 
charging cycle audibly.  Instructions below:

To enable Playing a Power Chime Sound Effect on a MacBook Pro & MacBook Air
Disconnect the Mac from the MagSafe power source
Open the Terminal app, found in /Applications/Utilities/
Enter the following command syntax, be sure there are no breaks as you’ll want 
to fit the entire sequence onto a single line (no it doesn’t matter if it 
wraps):
defaults write com.apple.PowerChime ChimeOnAllHardware -bool true; open 
/System/Library/CoreServices/PowerChime.app &

Hit Return
Re-connect the MacBook power supply to hear the chime
This will enable the feature through the defaults command string and 
simultaneously launch the PowerChime application, the latter tiny app must be 
running in order for the power chime sound effect to trigger.

Now you just have to disconnect your MagSafe (or USB-C) power connector from 
the Mac, wait a second or two, then reconnect it. You’ll hear the familiar 
power connected / charging sound effect from your iPhone and iPad devices.

You can also trigger the sound effect manually, maybe you like the way it 
sounds or you’re just curious what we’re talking about here. Use the following 
command to play the power chime sound effect:

afplay 
/System/Library/CoreServices/PowerChime.app/Contents/Resources/connect_power.aif

To disable the Chime Sound Effect on Power Cable Connect in Mac OS X
You can also turn off the power chime sound effect when you connect a power 
cable to a Mac by issuing a different defaults command string within the OS X 
Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.PowerChime ChimeOnAllHardware -bool false;killall 
PowerChime

This will disable the sound effect when connecting a power cable on the MacBook 
Air, MacBook Pro, and yes, it will also disable the power chime sound effect on 
the MacBook line as well.

Many new MacBook owners have noticed this little feature, but the source of the 
audio was uncovered by @zwaldowski, who reports that some Macs will even have a 
vibrating trackpad with this feature enabled (a new Retina MacBook Pro does not 
offer that aspect).

It does, it beeps when VO activates, it  beeps when you’re attached to power 
and you boot and it says shutting down when you power down. That’s pretty good 
no?

I have always wished the very same. It's annoying that we have no
power up or down sound.
