Looks like a French bong or is it made for Texans playing football?
I love the title.
No people, this thread is not about drugs.
That is exactly what I was expecting it to be about.
to be honest.. thats exactly what I was thinking
start up bong
Thanks guys.
A. I don't put ever put my macs to sleep. I had a sleep problem with the iMac 24 I got two years ago. I got 4 brand new Macs and they all crashed in sleep mode. So I avoid that mode religiously.
B. Thanks for the solution, that download program. However, I have a phobia about downloading anything not absolutely essential.
C. So, nothing that can be done in house, without downloading?
Thanks. I did not intend any double entendre with the bong terminology. Nice to know there are still some happening dudes out there.

That "bong" is set in the EFI firmware, not on the hard drive, so without some app to manipulate that, you won't do anything to it.
On a side note, my MBP has been asleep most of its life. Only time it gets shut down or rebooted is for critical system updates. Never a problem here.

Hi, yeah options seems to be the mute option, plugging in a loose headphone jack, or an app. I use 'Startup Sound' myself by I found this for you, if interested

If you are comfortable with a little terminal work, there are several methods to do it this here:

The methods listed here give you the same outcome as the apps, but you don't have to download an app to do it.

thats strange.. because my mbp doesnt ever seem like it wants to sleep. if i leave the screen up and idle it wont sleep for a while, but if i fold it the screen it does.. they just crashed outta no where??
A. Why don't you contact Apple for support? Seems to be a user problem. Macs are designed to sleep fine and wake up almost instantely.
sleep problem
Believe me, I did contact apple support.
I got 4 brand new 24 iMacs and all of them crashed on sleep mode. I finally resolved just to live without sleep mode.
Since then, I have seen much discussion problems on the sleep mode.
4 brand new, out the box. All crashed. Tech guys came and went.
Accept the things you cannot change. So, I don't do sleep mode on my 24.
