OS X :: Apple Hardware Diagnostic Test - I / O Board Failing
Mar 24, 2010
Is it possible that a failing I/O board would not show up as a problem in Apple's hardware diagnostic test? (from disc 1 of those included with the computer). I'm specifically referring to the Left I/O board, which handles the left ports, the a/c adapter, and part of the wireless connection. My battery just fried and now my airport card isn't working, and after trying everything, I think I may have found the issue.

My son's 17" imac PPC G5 was not booting up. After a trying a couple of things I got it to boot using Disk Warrior and reparing the file directory. At that time I also ran DW's hardware test which said the drive was fine. My son hard restarted it shortly after I fixed it and it wouldn't start up again. Just a gray screen, no apple logo. When I tried to use DW again it told me there were problems with the hard drive and it couldn't fix the problem. I tried to fix the hard drive in target disk mode using Disk Utiltiy and Drive Genius. No luck. So I pulled a working drive out of my Mac Pro and reformatted it and swapped the internal drive of the iMac with it. There were no DIP switches to set. Started up the imac with a Leopard retail disk thinking I would just install a fresh system onto the replaced internal drive of the iMac. Disk Utility on the leopard disk didn't see the hard drive. Now I'm beginning to think it's a logic board problem but I can't find the original disks to do a Hardware test with. Is there some other way to test a logic board? Or some other idea that I'm not thinking of that could be wrong with the machine?

So I took my MBP into the apple store today and explained that my original hard drive was showing as failing after my two momentus xt drives were apparently failing as well. He said it was really strange and hooked up the drive to their external interface and low and behold there was no errors on the drive. He said it's most likely being caused by IO errors due to a bad SATA cable or possibly logic board. We had my MBP sent in for testing. So basically if you see SMART failing status it may not be the drive after all.

After 3 days of contact with Apple support they have determined that even though they sold units with defective logic boards and the serial number of our unit falls in the range of units with the problem, Apple is not going to honor the replacement or prorate repair since the program expired in August...I thought only software houses used customers to beta test their products

I have a 17" unibody MBP (early 2009, specs below). It was running hotter than usual the other day, so I F2 booted into AHT to run a diagnostic. The status box within AHT showed 1 second into the 1st pass, and never got beyond that. Several seconds after that status message was displayed, the cursor froze. The time counter never advanced after that, and although I waited a long time, nothing happened. The test froze.
I've tried it several times more. It once worked, but every other time has frozen. Checking the "extended test" box, or trying to run in loop mode has made no difference - still freezes at "1 second".
I've had this machine for 3 years, OS's Leopard through Lion, and this has never happened before. I last ran a test, successfully, in January. I've not changed any components or suffered any damage since then. Memtest (ver 4.22) says my RAM is fine. (I ran this because the first portion of the AHT is the RAM component.) Aside from the aforementioned overheating episode, which disappeared, my machine's been fine.

I just moved over to Lion and was using the latest version of Mail (5.2) to compose a message. When I first used the photobrowser, it took a while to find my iPhoto collection and showed the message "no media was found". OK this may seem very petty, but this is dreadful English, 'Media' being a plural. Surely Apple would want to know about this and to fix this ("no media found" being the best alternative in my opinion).

I have a busted DVD drive, and I need to run the AHT utility. I heard it was in the /system/Library/CoreServices/ folder. It's not for me. And so, pressing "d" or "f2" on a reboot doesn't work. Anything I can do to run AHT without getting my DVD drive repaired first?

I'm running an extended Apple Hardware Test on my 4Gb MacBook Pro. It's been running 50 minutes and isn't even 25% completed going by the progress bar. It's been on the same step (memory pass number 2) for pretty much this entire time. Is this a sign that something is wrong with my MacBook Pro? It was purchased new in June of this year.

I am receiving a G5 Power Mac and I will need to run the Apple Hardware Test to check it. It has no install disks. Does anyone know where I can obtain the Hardware Test to check the computer? I do have a Mac Mini install disk for my Intel Mac Mini, will that Hardware test work with the G5?

I purchased my Macbook Pro (Early 2011) 2ghz i7 edition, about 4 months ago now,
Earlier today my MacBook Pro ran a grey bar update during start up started up & ran a little slower until I restarted afterwards. I was concerened until the restart, however I am no longer concerned. My main issue is that now I can't seem to correctly follow the instructions to successfully start an apple hardware test. I have previously owned a Mac mini, Powermac G5 Dual 1.8ghz and Powermac Quad G5 and I have always been able to successfully run apple hardware tests on them.
I held down the "D" key during startup prior to the grey screen and I tried plugging in a ethernet cable, the powercable and a USB keyboard all to no avail.

I've been having issues with my 2011 MacBook Pro, I just keep getting a weird error popup but it always flashes up and goes away before I can read it. My Mac has also even running a bit slower lately and I know that I can do the Apple Hardware Test to check out that all the hardware is functioning properly. But will my Mac continue to run normally after I do the AHT? Like, will I be able to use it as I was before?

After a lot of erratic behavior with my dual 2ghz g5, I ran the apple hardware test. When testing RAM it gives me the following error message each time I run the extended test:
2MEM/1/4:DIMMI/J11
I'm wondering how to interpret this exactly which RAM is bad (more specifically where is it?) I'm wondering if there is a diagram out there so I can relate this an exact location on my computer.

The next security and maintenance release for Apple's Leopard operating system could arrive sooner than later if the company maintains its current cadence, which has seen two successive pre-release builds land in the hands of developers in just five days. On the heels of the first external test build labeled Mac OS X 10.5.3 build 9D10 and released privately late last week, the Mac maker on Tuesday followed up with build 9D11, which adds nearly 20 more fixes and code corrections, bringing the new total expected with software's release to nearly 100. Among the most recent improvements, according to people familiar with the ongoing testing process, are fixes to AirPort connection issues and problems with the MacBook Air's sleep functionality. Other fresh fixes target Time Machine, Spaces layering and preferences, graphics corruption, display issues within Mail.app, Back to My Mac communication issues, and Automator quirks when interacting with Mail.app.
As was the case with Friday's pre-release distribution, Apple reportedly asked that its developer community focus their ongoing testing efforts on two dozen core system components. These include, but are not limited to, AirPort, AppleScript, Audio, Dashboard, Directory Services, Dock, DVD Player, Finder, Graphics, Installer, Printing, and VoiceOver. Mac OS X 10.5.3 Update, which currently weighs in at a hefty 410+ MB in Delta form and 530+ MB in Combo form, will mark the third update to Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard since the software made its official debut in late October. While those people familiar with the ongoing testing process have been unable to provide a target release date, it's presume the update is being groomed for distribution sometime in April or May.

I'm wondering if anyone has any information on the network boot Apple hardware test done in the stores - how it might compare to the OS9-looking hardware test that comes with the machines, or would have been used over USB if an Apple tech were working on it. The network version looks radically different from either the CD that shipped with my machine, or the ASD CD.

I have a MacBook Pro (17-inch, Late 2011) using OSX 10.7.5
Trying to run Apple hardware test as my computer keeps crashing, or shutting down 30min in. I restart while holding down "D" and nothing comes up. takes a while to startup, but then goes straight to desktop. What am I doing wrong? I'm ethernet connected to internet. When I bought the computer I installed an SSD HD. I remember when needing to install new software on the new drive it was a nuisance since the computer didn't actually ship with any software CDs. Had to do it over the internet somehow. The computer didn't have any problems before so never had to use AHT until now.
secondary question. I also reset SMC, by pressing left side shift+control+option+power key after shut down, but didn't get much response out of that either. no sound, or signal that what I did actually reset SMC. How would I know it reset or not?

Apple on Tuesday afternoon pushed out another private beta of Mac OS X 10.6.3, asking its developer community to test font compatibility and stability alongside a handful of other components that have been in need of evaluation for the past several weeks.
Those other components include iCal, QuickTime and graphics drivers, according to people familiar with the beta software. The last private beta, distributed March 5th and labeled build 10D567, also listed those components as focus areas, in addition to Rosetta and third party printer drivers.
When it's released later this month, Mac OS X 10.6.3 will bundle an update to QuickTime X that improves security and compatibility while also enhancing overall reliability of the media software.
The Snow Leopard update will also include tweaks that enhance the performance of Apple's 64-bit Logic pro audio suite and deliver better compatibility with third-party printers and OpenGL-grounded applications.
Other fixes baked into the release target issues with mail messages displaying the incorrect background color and problems copying files to a shared Windows volume.
The latest beta carries build number 10D571 and weighs in around 700MB.[ View this article at AppleInsider.com ]

Using Photoshop CS or CS2 (or PS 7)
1.) Download Image from [URL]
2.) Save it to computer and then open it up in Photoshop
3.) From there please apply a 'radial blur' with the settings at:
Amount = 100
Blur Method = Spin
Quality = Best
Using a stop watch / ps timer see how long it takes to apply this filter. I just want to see what mac systems can do, be it a powermac dual 2.7 or an older dual 1.8 or even an ibook. Please list your mac system, cpu details, amount of ram and the time it took for the test, just so we can get an idea of how different mac machines handle this task.

My wifes new macbook has had a few weird things happen, including 2 kernel panics right out of the box. She puts in the restore discs, reboots holding D and gets to the AHT screen. Selects the language then gets the that message, "apple hardware test does not support this machine"

is it possible to use the Apple Hardware Test if I have a firmware password?
I know firmware password stops you from using the "c" or "d" during the boot, and I haven't seen any alternate way to start the Hardware Test (I managed to use the Disk Utility by booting to the DVD, but there wasn't an option for the hardware test that I found there).

I'm running one on my mid-2009 15" MacBook Pro with 4Gb RAM. It appears to be taking forever as it tests memory. It's been on Pass Number 2 for around 30 minutes now. The progress bar is either completely stalled or moving VERY slowly. Is this normal for the extended AHT? This is the first time I've run the extended test. I ran the quick test just prior to this one and it returned no errors.

I cant start my MacMini 2,1. I get some kind of panic error when I start and it constantly tells me to restart. I have managed to perform the Apple Hardware Test. Each time a new error is detected.

I just bought my 27" iMac. It did not come with any install disks. I have tried everything to reach the Apple Hardware Test. Is it even possible to boot to it with a wireless keyboard? I hate to have to buy a new keyboard just to run one test. I can reach the Recovery HD, but the hardware test isn't there. (I know the computer is brand new, I just want to have the info when I will need it someday.)
