If you're not on Mavericks, this prefs pane supposedly works:

Likewise folks said Psst works as well:

Others like to use Start Ninja to turn off the chime:

That mutes sound, yes, but I don't think it mutes the power-on chime. There is a way to do that, but it is rather involved, and most people just leave it alone. I'm not telling the OP not to try it, but if I recall, it is quite a process.

Not the power key, the function key at the bottom left of the keyboard, along with F10 should mute your sound.

for example, I may need to mute or change the startup sound volume. I was told that holding the power button down while also holding the mute key down (correct me if I am wrong but I think it’s f10 would work) Well, maybe I am doing something wrong or missing a step, but it does not work on my machine.

It's safe, just don't do and possibly damaging commands. For instance, stay away from deletions, moving, password and permission changes, and so on until you have a better grasp on things. Aside from that, just google whatever it is you are trying to do and give it a shot. On Apr 29, 2014, at 9:59 AM, Jessica <jldai...@gmail.com <mailto:jldai...@gmail.com>> wrote:

Hi
I am curious whether or not the terminal application found on the mac is safe to use or whether entering the wrong command will damage the system? What is the best way for someone who has never used terminal before to learn how to use it without damaging the system.
