What’s new in version 7.1

Version 7.1:
  • A full recompilation has been made to be compatible with High Sierra, and as Universal Binary to keep being compatible with both old (PowerPC) Macs and recent (Intel) Macs.
  • The "How to intall it?" paragraph of the documentation has been updated to explain how to install and launch the Application in particular under Mac OS 10.13 High Sierra:
  • Under Mac OS 10.13 High Sierra, if you're launching the Application for the first time, maybe Mac OS X's GateKeeper (which you can configure in the "System Preferences") will refuse to launch it because you've not downloaded it from the Mac App Store (but from our website). In this case, instead of double-clicking on it, all you have to do is to right-click on the Application's icon, and then select the "Open" menu. A message will appear in which you'll be able to confirm that you want to launch the Application (even if it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store from an Identified Developer).

Old thieves never die; they just come back to rob you again. EVERY AplhaOmega product is poorly written, overpriced, and available elsewhere with more and better functionality and for free...often within the OS, itself. Buyer beware!

How to remove the startup chime for free: *MUTE* your Mac before restarting or shutting down. When your Mac reboots the next time, there will be NO startup chime. I said FREE! ;-) OR you could buy one of the recent MacBook Pros, which no longer have a startup chime, ever.

They're baaack; hold on to your wallet! AlphaOmega is a bunch of thieves who charge excessive prices for poor functionality that's usually available elsewhere...better and for less.

"The removal of the chime has been improved. " Whoopie-doo! Whatever that could possibly mean, I still don't want to pay $11-odd for the pleasure of it when it can be done for nix with, oh say, StartNinja.

To temporarily disable the startup sound, just press the “Mute” button on your keyboard (that’s the F10 key on a MacBook) before shutting down or restarting your Mac.

To permanently mute the startup sound, open the terminal and type "sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume=%80" (or sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume=%01, or sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume=%00 or sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume=" " depending on some models).

To restore the startup chime, type: "sudo nvram -d SystemAudioVolume"

There, I just saved you $11.
