The classic Macintosh startup sequence includes hardware tests which may trigger the startup chime, Happy Mac, Sad Mac, and Chimes of Death. On Macs running macOS Big Sur the startup sound is enabled by default, but can be disabled by the user within system preferences.^[1]

Startup chime[edit]

The Macintosh project began in 1979 when Jef Raskin, an Apple employee, envisioned an easy-to-use, low-cost computer for the average consumer.He wanted to name the computer after his favorite type of apple, the McIntosh, but the spelling was changed to 'Macintosh' for legal reasons as the original was the same spelling as that used by McIntosh Laboratory, Inc., an audio equipment. Because Noisy Typer runs in the background so you’ll have to quit it by typing “qaz123” or by finding it in Activity Monitor and killing the process. Just in case the app isn’t enough for you, there’s always the ridiculous full-on USB typewriter iMac conversion kit for the dedicated. Death Stranding Mac OS X is set in the open-world and follows the story of a courier. He must deliver supplies for the survivors of a cataclysmic event. Also, he tries to connect the colonies through a wireless network in order to become easier to fight the enemies. This document is a Mac OS X manual page. Manual pages are a command-line technology for providing documentation. You can view these manual pages locally using the man(1) command. These manual pages come from many different sources, and thus, have a variety of writing styles. Here is a funny video where Steve Jobs gives a eulogy and lays to rest Mac OS 9 at its funeral.Sorry for the audio not being synced up.

The Macintosh startup chime is played on power-up, before trying to boot an operating system. The sound indicates that diagnostic tests run immediately at startup have found no hardware or fundamental software problems.^[2] The specific sound differs depending on the ROM, which greatly varies depending on Macintosh model. The first sound version in the first three Macintosh models is a simple square-wave 'beep', and all subsequent sounds are various chords.

Mark Lentczner created the software that plays the arpeggiated chord in the Macintosh II. Variations of this sound were deployed until Jim Reekes created the startup chime in the Quadra 700 through the Quadra 800.^[3] Reekes said, 'The startup sound was done in my home studio on a Korg Wavestation EX. It's a C major chord, played with both hands stretched out as wide as possible (with 3rd at the top, if I recall).' He created the sound as he was annoyed with the tri-tone startup chimes because they were too associated with the death chimes and the computer crashes. He recalls that Apple did not give him permission to change the sound but that he secretly snuck the sound into the computers with the help of engineers who were in charge of the ROM chips. When Apple discovered this, he refused to change it, using various claims in order to keep the new sound intact.^[4] He is also the creator of the iconic (or 'earconic', as he calls it) 'bong' startup chime in most Macintoshes since the Quadra 840AV. A slightly lower-pitched version of this chime is in all PCI-based Power Macs until the iMac G3. The Macintosh LC, LC II, and Macintosh Classic II do not use the Reekes chime, instead using an F major chord that just produces a 'ding' sound. The first generation of Power Macintosh computers also do not use the Reekes chime, instead using a chord strummed on a Yamaha12-string acoustic guitar by jazz guitarist Stanley Jordan. Further, the Power Macintosh 5200–6300 computers (excluding the 5400 and 5500, which have the 'bong' chime like the one in the PCI-based Power Macs) use a unique chime, which is also in the television commercials for the Power Macintosh and PowerBook series from 1995 until 1998, and the 20th Anniversary Macintosh uses another unique sound.

For models built prior to the introduction of the Power Macintosh in 1994, the failure of initial self-diagnostic tests results in a Sad Mac icon, an error code, and distinctive Chimes of Death sounds.

The chime for all Mac computers from 1998 to 2016 is the same chime used first in the iMac G3. The chord is a F-sharp major chord, and was produced by pitch-shifting the 840AV's sound. The Mac startup chime is now a registered trademark in the United States,^[5] and is featured in the 2008 Pixar film WALL-E when the titular robot character is fully recharged by solar panels as well as in the 2007 Brad Paisley song 'Online'.^[6]

Starting with the 2016 MacBook Pro, all new Macs were shipped without a startup chime, with the Macs silently booting when powered on.^[7] In 2020, the startup chime would be added to these models with the release of macOS Big Sur, which allows it to be enabled or disabled in System Preferences.^[8] On the macOS Big Sur 11.0.1 beta, it was discovered that the new lower pitched chime was brought to all older supported Macs. In a firmware update included in the macOS Catalina 2020-001 Security Update, and the macOS Mojave 2020-007 Security Update, the new startup chime in Big Sur is brought to all Catalina and Mojave supported Macs except 2012 models.

Happy Mac[edit]

A Happy Mac is the normal bootup (startup) icon of an Apple Macintosh computer running older versions of the Mac operating system. It was designed by Susan Kare in the 1980s, drawing inspiration from the design of the Compact Macintosh series and from the Batman character Two-Face.^[9] The icon remained unchanged until the introduction of New World ROM Macs, when it was updated to 8-bit color. The Happy Mac indicates that booting has successfully begun, whereas a Sad Mac (along with the 'Chimes of Death' melody or one or more beeps) indicates a hardware problem.

When a Macintosh boots into the classic Mac OS (Mac OS 9 or lower), the system will play its startup chime, the screen will turn gray, and the Happy Mac icon will appear, followed by the Mac OS splash screen (or the small 'Welcome to Macintosh' screen in System 7.5 and earlier), which underwent several stylistic changes. Mac OS versions 8.6 and later also includes the version number in this splash screen (for example, 'Welcome to Mac OS 8.6').

On early Macs that had no internal hard drive, the computer boots up to a point where it needs to load the operating system from a floppy disk. Until the user inserts the correct disk, the Mac displays a floppy icon with a blinking question mark. In later Macs, a folder icon with a question mark that repeatedly changes to the Finder icon is shown if a System Folder or boot loader file cannot be found on the startup disk.

With the introduction of Mac OS X, in addition to the blinking system folder icon, a prohibition icon was added to show an incorrect OS version is found. The bomb screen in the classic Mac OS was replaced with a kernel panic, which was originally colored white but was changed to black in version 10.3. With Mac OS X 10.1, a new Happy Mac was included. This is also the last version that had a Happy Mac icon; in version 10.2, the Happy Mac symbol was replaced with the Apple logo. In OS X Lion 10.7, the Apple logo was slightly shrunk and modified. In OS X Yosemite 10.10, the white screen with a gray Apple logo was replaced with a black screen with a white Apple logo and the spinning wheel was replaced with a loading bar. However, this only applies to Macs from 2013 and later, including the 2012 Retina MacBook Pros, and requires a firmware update to be applied. All earlier Macs still use the old screen. The shadow on the Apple logo was removed in OS X El Capitan 10.11. In 2016+ Macs, the Apple logo appears immediately when the screen turns on.The Face ID logo for the iPhone X was based on the Happy Mac.

Sad Mac[edit]

A Sad Mac is a symbol in older-generation Apple Macintosh computers (hardware using the Old World ROM and not Open Firmware, which are those predating onboard USB), starting with the original 128K Macintosh and ending with the last NuBus-based Power Macintosh models (including the first-generation 6100, 7100, 8100, as well as the PowerBook 5300 and 1400),^[10] to indicate a severe hardware or software problem that prevented startup from occurring successfully. The Sad Mac icon is displayed, along with a set of hexadecimal codes that indicate the type of problem at startup. Different codes are for different errors. This is in place of the normal Happy Mac icon, which indicates that the startup-time hardware tests were successful. In 68k models made after the Macintosh II, the Chimes of Death are played.

Models prior to the Macintosh II crash silently and display the Sad Mac, without playing any tone. PowerPC Macs play a sound effect of a car crash, and computers equipped with the PowerPC upgrade card use the three note brass fanfare death chime (A, E-natural, and E-flat), followed by the sound of a drum, same as the Macintosh Performa 6200 and Macintosh Performa 6300.

A Sad Mac may be deliberately generated at startup by pressing the interrupt switch on Macintosh computers that had one installed, or by pressing Command and Power keys shortly after the startup chime. On some Macintoshes such as PowerBook 540c, if the user presses the command and power keys before the boot screen displays, it will play the 'chimes of death'. The chimes are a fraction of normal speed and there is no Sad Mac displayed.

Old World ROM Power Macintosh and PowerBook models based on the PCI architecture do not use a Sad Mac icon and will instead only play the error/car-crash sound on a hardware failure (such as missing or bad memory, unusable CPU, or similar).

Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar and later instead use the Universal 'no' symbol to denote a hardware or software error that renders the computer non-bootable.^[11][12]

Sad iPod[edit]

On the iPod, if damage or an error occurs in the hardware or the firmware, for example, if its files are deleted, a Sad iPod appears. This is similar to the Sad Mac, but instead of a Macintosh, there is an iPod, and there are no chimes of death. The icon also lacks a nose, and the frown is flipped horizontally. It also does not show hexadecimal codes indicating what problem occurred in the iPod. This error screen will not show up when a problem occurs in the newer iPods.

Chimes of Death[edit]

The Chimes of Death are the Macintosh equivalent of a beep code on IBM PC compatibles. On all Macintosh models predating the adoption of PCI and Open Firmware, the Chimes of Death are often accompanied by a Sad Mac icon in the middle of the screen.

Different Macintosh series have different death chimes. The Macintosh II is the first to use the death chimes, a loud and eerie upward major arpeggio, with different chimes on many models. The Macintosh Quadra, Centris, Performa, LC, and the Macintosh Classic II play a generally softer and lower pitched version of the upward major arpeggio, followed by three or four notes, with slight variation depending on the model of the Macintosh. The PowerBook 5300, 190, and 1400 use the second half of the 8-note arpeggio as found on the Quadra and Centris models, or the entire death chime if the error occurs before the screen lights up. The Macintosh Quadra 660AV and Centris 660AV use a sound of a single pass of Roland D-50's 'Digital Native Dance' sample loop, and the NuBus based Power Macintosh models (including 6100,^[13] 7100, and 8100) series use a car crash sound. The Power Macintosh and Performa 6200 and 6300 series, along with the Power Macintosh upgrade card, use an eerily dramatic 3-note brass fanfare with a rhythm of drums and cymbals. The pre-G3 PCI Power Macs, the beige G3 Power Macs, the G3 All-In-One, and the PowerBook 2400, 3400, and G3 all use a sound of glass shattering; these models do not display a Sad Mac icon. Since the introduction of the iMac in 1998, the Chimes of Death are no longer used in favor of a series of tones to indicate hardware errors.

Fonts in Mac OS X: Font Formats

Given the complexities involved, Apple did a great job of implementing fonts in Mac OS X. For the casual user of Mac OS X, working with fonts included in Mac OS X is as simple as selecting a font and using it. The user will also be able to switch to different languages with greater ease than in Mac OS 9. But for users who want to add and delete their own fonts, who have problems getting certain fonts to work, or who have troubleshooting symptoms that may be font-related, this section provides essential background.

More than one type of font can be used on a Macintosh. As font formats are not a Mac OS X-specific issue, I will not go into great detail on font formats for this Mac OS X book. But especially for those who are new to the subject, following is a brief overview.

TrueType fonts

TrueType fonts are Apple's preferred type of font for Mac OS X. Most or all of the fonts that ship with Mac OS X are TrueType fonts. With TrueType, the font displays and prints smoothly (with no irregular jagged edges), no matter what size (such as 10 point vs. 13 point) or style (such as plain text vs. bold) you select.

For this feature to work, you need only a single font file for a given TrueType font. However, there will often be separate style variations within a font file (such as Times Italic and Times Bold). Without these variations present, you will not be able to select different styles for a given font in most Mac OS X applications.

Windows PCs can also use TrueType fonts, but a Windows TrueType font file has a somewhat different format from a Mac TrueType font. Fortunately, Mac OS X recognizes the following Windows versions of TrueType fonts: TrueType fonts (with the extension .ttf) and TrueType collections (with the extension .ttc). Note: Mac OS X believes that any font with a .ttf extension is a Windows TrueType font, so don't use this extension for Mac TrueType fonts.

PostScript fonts

These font files contain the PostScript instructions needed to print to PostScript-supported printers. If you don't have a printer that includes PostScript support, you are better off avoiding PostScript fonts and sticking with TrueType ones, if possible. No PostScript fonts ship with Mac OS X, but you may have some in your Mac OS 9 System Folder or may have added PostScript fonts to your Mac OS X System folder.

In Mac OS 9, you could not display PostScript fonts on the screen. PostScript fonts are printer font files that contain instructions only for printing the text to a PostScript printer. A matching screen font version (either a bitmap or TrueType version) was needed for display. This screen/printer font pairing did not always work well. Often, what you saw on the screen was different from what was printed. This situation improved significantly with the release of Adobe Type Manager (ATM). This utility uses the PostScript printer's font instructions to display the fonts on the screen.

ATM does not work in Mac OS X, but it is not really needed. Whereas Mac OS 9 used a technology called QuickDraw to display fonts, Mac OS X uses Quartz. Quartz can display PostScript printer font information with no additional software (such as ATM) required. Note: ATM still works in Classic for displaying text in Classic applications.

You may still need at least one matching TrueType or bitmap font to get some PostScript fonts (with a type of LWFN, as displayed by a utility such as XRay) to be listed in Fonts menus. PostScript fonts of the SFNT type should work without any separate matching version needed.

PostScript Multiple Master fonts (font files that end with MM) are not yet supported in Mac OS X.

OpenType fonts

This font format is relatively new, designed jointly by Microsoft and Adobe. A touted advantage of OpenType is that the same font file works on both the Mac and Windows platforms. At this writing, most Mac users still use TrueType instead of OpenType. OpenType fonts typically have the extension .otf. Microsoft started OpenType as an attempt to free itself from its dependence on Apple's TrueType. In a sense, the two formats are competitors.

Bitmap fonts

These fonts are the oldest type of fonts and are rarely used anymore. These fonts require a separate file for each size of the font (Times 10, Times 12, Times 14, and so on). If you select a size that does not have a separate file, the font will be jagged.

Although you may get these fonts to work in Mac OS X, especially when you're working in Classic, they are not supported, so you should avoid them. Especially avoid older bitmapped versions of Chinese/Japanese/Korean/ Vietnamese language fonts; these fonts will not work in Mac OS X. Also, older bitmapped fonts of the type FONT are not supported. Fonts of the type NFNT are supported for Classic/QuickDraw applications but ignored by applications based on Cocoa (such as TextEdit).

TAKE NOTE

True Type fonts, in Chapter 3, for more information on type and creator codes.

Figure 4.13 The FileXaminer utility, showing the type, creator, and extension data for two TrueType fonts: (left) a dfont file in the System folder Library and (right) a OS9-type file in the User's Home directory Library.

TAKE NOTE

Font Suitcases

In Mac OS 9, a font could exist as an individual file or as one of several font files in a font suitcase. Mac OS X does not make this distinction as clearly. In particular, a font suitcase file in Mac OS X typically appears in the Finder exactly as a single font file does. In describing fonts in Mac OS X, Apple often uses the term suitcase to refer to virtually all font files.

Similarly, in Mac OS 9, if you wanted to remove a font file from a font suitcase, you could double-click the suitcase icon to open a window displaying its contents. Then you could drag a font file from the suitcase to remove it. You cannot do this in Mac OS X.

Thus, to remove a font from a suitcase file, the simplest approach is to reboot in Mac OS 9 and modify the font suitcase as desired via the Finder. Otherwise, you may find utilities that let you do this from Mac OS X (either in Mac OS X itself or via Classic), but I have not found any good ones so far.

A suitcase can contain unrelated fonts (such as Times and Helvetica). As a result, I prefer not to include mixed suitcases in Mac OS X, as the name of the font will likely give no clue about the variety of fonts within. In general, restrict suitcase files to the Mac OS 9 Classic System Folder, assuming that you need to use them at all.

More generally, it's wise to avoid as many Mac OS 9 Fonts as possible. These older fonts remain a too-common source of problems.

Figure 4.15 (Left) TrueType font file icon and font suitcase icon as viewed when booted in Mac OS 9; (right) the icons for the same files after rebooting in Mac OS X.

TAKE NOTE

Opening Font Files in the Finder

In the Mac OS 9 Finder, if you double-clicked an individual font file, a window displayed what the characters in that font looked like. If you double-clicked a font suitcase, it opened to list all the fonts in that suitcase.

In Mac OS X, this method no longer works. Typically, double-clicking most types of font files in Mac OS X leads to an error message, stating,'There is no application available to open document {name of font}.' If you happen to have the ancient Font/DA Mover utility on your drive, fonts may launch that utility in Classic; but don't expect it to work very well.

If you want to duplicate the Mac OS 9 Finder feature for fonts, the best solution I have found is a freeware utility called X Font Info. If you drag any font file or font suitcase to this application's icon, a window shows the name and kind (such as TrueType) of the font, as well as the alphabet in the characters of the font itself. In addition, two pop-up menus allow you to see this display in different styles (bold or italic, for example) and sizes. If the file you opened is a font suitcase that contains multiple fonts, the Font pop-up menu allows you to choose among the fonts in the suitcase.

You can go one better, however. When you double-click a font file, it can launch X Font Info, coming close to duplicating the Mac OS 9 Finder effect. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Select almost any TrueType font in the Mac OS X /Library or /System/Library folder.

2. Press Command-I to open the Show Info window for the font.

3. Choose Open with Application from the pop-up menu in the Show Info window. The default application listed will likely be Finder, nothing, or (amazingly!) the old pre-Mac OS 9 Font/DA Mover 4.1.

4. Click the box next to the application name and choose Other from the pop-up menu.

5. From the pop-up menu list, choose X Font Info as the new application. If X Font Info is not in the list, select the 'Other...' item to locate it.

6. Click the Change All button so that all font files of the same type also open with this application.

Now, any similar font files that you double-click should launch X Font Info and display the font. If you selected an Mac OS 9-style TrueType font initially, this technique probably will not affect TrueType .dfont files. If so, simply repeat the procedure after selecting a .dfont file.

Overall, this method has worked well for me. There is a chance, however, that some font files may not display their Finder icon after you do this. And I have heard one report that this conversion prevented some fonts from being displayed in Microsoft Word and perhaps other applications. But this problem has never happened for me.
