Turning off verbose mode on Mac running High Sierra

Awhile back I did something that boots the Mac in verbose mode where it displays all the Unix boot messages


I want to turn that off but I forget what I did to turn it on


I tried searching Apple support and found the command


Susie nvram -boot=args=“


But that didn’t seem to work

The command is:


sudo nvram boot-args=""


Alternatively, restart with the Option, Command, P, and R keys held down, and release them after the second chime.

If the command given above does not work.


This will make macOS boot as normal – this is the default boot behavior of every Mac


from the terminal copy and paste:

sudo nvram boot-args=


please note your psswd will not echo.


you can reboot the machine:

reboot
