How to Disable Verbose Mode Startup on a Mac Mini


Open 'Applications > Utilities > Terminal.' The Terminal application allows the user to give text-based commands directly to the operating system.
Type the command “sudo nvram boot-args=” into the Terminal window and press enter. The command must be exactly as written and should not include the quotation marks.
Quit Terminal and restart the computer to verify that verbose mode startup has been disabled on your Mac Mini.

How to Reset MacBook Firmware


Power on the MacBook and wait for a warning message that reads 'To continue booting, type 'mac-boot' and press return' to appear on the screen. The firmware on your MacBook must only be reset in the event that this message appears.
Enter 'reset-nvram' in the prompt following the warning message. This resets the non-volatile memory on the computer. This type of memory does not lose information when the computer is reset.
Press the 'Return' key.
Type 'reset-all' at the next command line prompt, and press 'Return' to reset the firmware on your MacBook. This also forces the computer to restart.
Wait for the MacBook to reboot. By the time the laptop restarts and boots into Mac OS X, the firmware is successfully reset.
