2.5 stars for a software that works fine on a MacBook Pro (Early 2011), but does not work or have any effect on the startup sound on a MacBook Air (Mid 2011).

No updates since 2009 make this look rather dead.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD/INSTALL "STABLE" if you are Intel Lion. I did not read the comments and the stupid installer installed it then said it couldn't run it and NOW THE UNINSTALL CANT RUN since its for STUPID POWERPC.. What a terrible programmer to not check before the install!!!!

Now I CANT GET IT OFF MY COMPUTER.

Something that was going to take 1 min has now been an hour of hell while I am at work. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE.

It says "StartupSound.prefPane 1.0.3 (PPC stable release)". Why Load a PPC release if you are on an Intel Mac?

Bonsoir,
Est-il envisagé une mise à jour pour utilisation sous Lion ?
Merci pour votre réponse.
Cordialement.

I know... and it's driving me up the wall! Definitely one of the very few caveats I have about Apple design...

I love simple tools that just do one thing well. This and Caffeine are my favourites in this category. I can now turn on or restart my MacBook without embarrassment in a meeting.

Took me a little time to realize that this app is an add-in to the System Preferences - Other.

Great program and free too.

Just installed 1.1b3 version on iMac running
Snow Leopard 10.6.7. Works great, but as in Jediah's review had to restart once and put the slider on minimum and selected mute just to make sure.

Works great on 10.6.6 but you need to restart your mac after the installation.

This sounds like exactly what I'm looking for, so I downloaded and installed it. When I clicked on it in the Preferences pane, it showed me the following message:

'You can’t open Startup Sound preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac.'

Disappointing.

I commented too soon. I've now been to the developer's site, downloaded and installed the latest version, and it works.
