In my Quadra 610. when I reboot I usually go check up on my Powerbook 520 in my room and thrift off and forget I am rebooting, then My mom comes storming in " Jeremy shut off your pink ****" So I am here to ask is there anyway to disable a cd from starting up after reboot? This is very annoying and I want it to stop!Jeremy "I'll see you on the Dark Side Of The Moon" - Pink Floyd Covert Ops 68k 68k Hacks General Macs Liberated:16 |

i always keep a set of headphones or a headphone adapter around to cut off ALL sounds including the bootup sounds by plugging it into the jack. that's the best way to avoid **** when you want to boot in the midle of the night.jt ™

I'm not sure what OS or version of Quicktime you're running, but since QT3.0 (at least) you can switch off CD Autoplay in the QuickTime™ Settings CP.CC Current score: 1 Apple //e 1 PB 520c 1 Quadra 700 1 Quadra 800 (recently resurrected!) 2 Powermac 6100s 1 Wallstreet Edited by - bigsadhu on 28 Mar 2002 00:53:03 |

But QuickTime is what is controllling the sound system.Go to the QuickTime Settings control panel, find the part that szays "AutoPlay" and make sure they are turned off. ~Marchie ~Chaplain Marchie Holder of the Compact Mac - -Stick of Justice, with Explodeing CRT head -Wand of Power with Shocking Flyback Transformer Tip ~~"We are all Mad here"~~ |

Ahh...memories of cranking up the volume to a ridiculous level and forgetting to eject "Punk-o-Rama [volume 5, I think...]" the night before in my iMac, then booting it up one early Saturday morning...-------------------- keeper of the website and beholder of the Quadra/Centris Stick of Justice™ -------------------- |

One time I was at choir practice (back a couple of years ago...Da Good Olde Days), and i booted up an iMac 350 to mark the roll. Someone had left a copy of the school CD in the CD ROM, and as soon as the Finder opened, i and a few others got blasted away by the School Song blasting away through those Harman/Kardons!  I know this doesn't help much, but yeah, i say you should either disable AutoPlay, or every time you start up, press the eject button on your CD ROM, in case there's an audio CD in there. -------------------------- Pizzabox LCs RULE!!!!!!!
