Terminal to disable startup chime
I want to stop the startup chime and the normal terminal script, (sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume = 80%) "does not work because of a password problem.
After you enter the script Terminal asks for my password. I provide the password and terminal says "command not found". Naturally, I assume that the password is incorrect, but it is the same password that opens the permissions and is used for the administrator account ID.
In fact, I created a new master password for the computer through Permission > File Vault. (File Vault is turned off). However, Terminal always reports "command not found". !
A Unix guru can tell me how to get rid of this annoying chime, perhaps including a reset command Admin password?

No way to disable startup Vaio Care
Hello. I have a problem with my laptop Vaio - startup takes about 5 minutes until all programs properly loading. I would turn off start Vaio Care, so I looked up this community site. The decision proposed by many members is to disable via the Task Scheduler in Windows 7. The problem is that when I open the Task Scheduler, I do not see Vaio Care inside, so obviously that I can't turn it off. Right now I don't know about any other way of disabling Vaio Care, so I want to get help here.
Try to check under Services startup type.
1) click Start
(2) click on run
(3) type "Services.msc".
(4) press on enter
5) scroll down and look for performance of Vaio Care service
(6) on the general tab, you can check the status of the service if its started or stopped. You will have an option to stop the service on this tab.
7 in the drop-down list startup type. It will give you list drop-down option automatic, manual and disabled.

Ready NAS 4220 command terminal to disabled checkbox "allow instant access."
I have a temp 4220 readynas as a file server, joined an ad. 6.2.4 current firmware
There is also a file indexing on-site 24/7 running. It indexes action 4.
I have a junior administrator who will recover the files deleted using the "snapshot" function
The issue is the 'allow instant access' remains on by accident. This causes the indexing of file index all snapshots. This pushes the index to 60 + GB in size. It will grow if big, that it stops new classes of indexing files. If it not to index the snapshots, the database will be around 4 GB.
I would like a cron job to disable the 'allow the snapshot' nightly at 02:00.
I can't find an online resource that gives enough details on the function of snapshot except how to delete snapshots. I want to deactivate access according to a schedule and keep the snapshot running.

Thanks for looking into this for me.
I thought that it might be a terminal command to do this.

Windows Defender had a utility called "Software Explorer", with which you could disable some programs that start with Windows.
is there something similar that does the same work?
You can manage Windows startup items by following these steps:
1) click the Windows Start button
2) click on Run
(3) type msconfig in the field
4) click on the Startup tab
(5) uncheck the items you want to start with Windows.Note: You can also type msconfig in the search of Windows box.
I hope this helps.

Disabled startup programs...
When I run Vista, I receive a notice that two programs in the startup group were "blocked". By clicking on the display, one of the programs is QTTask.exe by Apple, and the other is EULALauncher.exe. The size of the file is 17920 bytes, and there is no signature or creater listed. Anyone know what it is? It should be deleted?

disable startup by car programs?
I get my boot drive warning messages. But before that I take him to the store for replacement, firstly can I disable all my old Adobe programs (CS 4, etc) on this machine?
I am running most of them on both computers, so I always have a safety net. These are programs such as first, after EFX, Photoshop, hearing, etc.
I am concerned by the replacement of a boot disk. If the repair shop allows you to clone the programs from the startup disk to a new disc of starting, is what it will look like to install these on a third computer?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
Hi Bill,
1 + for the suggestion of Jim.
You don't necessarily have to do for creative Cloud applications but for versions of Creative Suite (CS), you must do it.
Thank you

3 beeps after startup chime then nothing
Hello
My iMac intel (2011) was working fine earlier today. Then I came back to find it on the gray screen with the apple logo. I tried to restart it, and it became stuck on the gray screen with three loud beeps, after initial startup Gong.
I tried resetting the PRAM, re-sitting my RAM (it's the RAM of origin). It does not start in safe mode.
I used the built-in Apple hardware test and it has detected an error with the following message:
4MOT/4/40000003: DRIVE HARD-1268
I ran the test again and got the same message error but with 1283 rather than 1268. Is it a hard drive failure?
Any ideas how to proceed? Thank you.
The error is specifically for the hard drive fan motor, but as the fan is controlled by a circuit in the HDD it is more than likely a failure of the hard drive. I saw most of the errors 4mot have had a faulty hard drive.

Pavilion P7-1240: Impossible to disable startup secure in the Bios
I would like to disable Secure Boot, but do not have the ability to do this in my bios.
My BIOS is the JAS_710 ROM with v 7.10.
My menus look almost identical to those in this post:
http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03659945/
with the exception of having an element of Boot Configuration secure (from Figure 1 - Menu of security).
Anyone has any experience to turn it off without this configuration item?
BlairD, welcome to the forum.
I am not sure you have Secure Boot in the BIOS. I don't find reference to it in one of the guides. The computer came originally with Win 7.
Please click on the Thumbs up button '+' if I helped you and click on "Accept as Solution" If your problem is resolved.

How can I ACTIVATE previously DISABLED startup options in Windows 7?
All options in the sequence to start my computer Windows 7 are in square brackets and the handicapped. I probably caused this somehow during the upgrade of Windows 10. When I turn on the computer, the Dell login screen appears briefly and the screen goes black. Using F12 I can see the boot sequence, but may not know how to change any element from disabled to enabled. As the DVD option is disabled, I can't use system restore/repair disk. A previous response to my post to a MS support engineer explained how to change the boot sequence - which I get - but not how to activate the option to boot from the DVD. Deactivation is ez pz - enabling, not so much.
The Menu of Boot Sequence has nothing to do with Windows, so even if you were able to use your DVD drive, the Dell repair/restore DVD system would not help.
The F12 key opens just a temporary boot menu. What you need to do is to use the F2 key to access the real BIOS configuration utility.
At least this is my understanding of the functioning of some Dell BIOS. If the above does not help, I suggest ask you in a Dell forum and be sure to include the specific model of your Dell computer-->
