4HDD/11/40000004: SATA (0,0) - Apple Extended Hardware Test

Hi!
My mid-2009 13-inch Macbook Pro's performance deteriorated last month. It become super super slow.
So, out of curiosity, I performed an Apple Extended Hardware Test. And here is the error code: 4HDD/11/40000004: SATA (0,0)
I didn't expect that problem to arise so I don't have any back-up of my essential files. I tried to copy my files to an external drive but copying a 600MB folder required me to wait for more than 30 min before receiving the error code which said somthing like "files cannot be copied"
Then, I bought a new 60GB Kingston SSDnow V+ and 4GB Trascend 1066Mhz RAM. I successfully installed Snow Leopard on my new SSD and installed the new 4GB memory. Things went well. I even booted my mac so fast using my new SSD via USB enclosure.
But the problem came when I installed my new drive internally. Flashing question mark appears when starting my Mac. Internal drive is also not recognized by Disk utility when booting my Mac from OS X Installation Disk. Installed my old drive and no success.
I don't know if the problem is the compatibility of my SSD or the SATA cable. For now, I'm booting my Mac on my new SSD via a USB External Enclosure. My old drive is installed internally but it is not recognized. And I find it too inconvenient to use my Mac booting externally (even though the performance is ultra fast) since I'm a college student.
My problems:
a. What to do so that my SSD will be recognized when connected on my Mac internally via SATA?
b. What to do so that I can have a back-up of my very essential files saved on my old drive? (I remember booting from my old drive connected via USB Enclosure took me more than 1 hour, then logging in to enter my password took me to watch that spinning rainbow wheel forever)
P.S. Sorry if you find grammatically incorrect sentences.
I also leave here in the Philippines. And there is no Apple Store here. Apple Authorized Service Centers don't sell the SATA cable. Purchasing the cable via internet is not feasible due to the following reasons: a. My location. b. I'm still a student and I don't have a credit card to pay an online purchase.
Your generous help will be much appreciated.
Here's additional info on my Mac:

Well, usually DW (Disk Warrior) may be able to fix that; see this discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/424787?start=0&tstart=0
You need to use DW from either an external boot disk or the DW CD since repairs cannot be made on a volume that you are booted up from.

Extended Hardware Test Results

Hi All
I have been having a lot of trouble lately (G5 1.8GhZ, 1GB RAM (2 x 512) 10.3.9) with kernel panics and freezes. I have fully reinstalled OS X but the problem remained. Eventually I ran the Extended Hardware Test (which took 45 mins) and I got the below error:
2MEM/5/4:DIMM1/J4001
I took this to mean that one of my RAM modules is the problem, but, this is only a guess.
Can anybody shed light on what this error is and maybe how to resolve it?
Many Thanks
BB

Just to load the fodder, that is exactly what was happening on my 4 month old PowerBook Pro; (including all the same software/system troubleshooting) and I got a 4MEM/1/40000000 error code. (it was also causing my Win setup on Boot Camp to wig out -- even worse)
What I was looking for here (somewhere) is a quick online reference to the code breakdown to tell me which module/slot is bad (one is from Apple the other from 3rd party -- both should be covered)
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2x2Ghz, 2GB, 100GB/7200rpm

Error 4hdd/11/4000000:sata ssd - using Apple diagnostics on a MacBook PRO 15" with 512GB SSD. My trackpad goes berserk.

I have a MacBook PRO early 2013 15" (10,1). 16 GB RAM, 512GB SSD. Running Mac OS X 10.10.
A couple of weeks ago my trackpad started being unresponsive and within a couple of days was not usable. Searched for solutions and have tried them all, (control option shift L power); (Option cmd R P power) (checked for dirt around the trackpad) (Cleaned the trackpad in case there was oil on it from my skin) (shut the screen and leave for a few minutes and try again).
I ran apple diagnostics (twice) and got the error 4hdd/11/4000000:sata ssd.
I have noticed that the computer recently will also randomly reboot.
When I connect the bluetooth mouse it sometimes has problems connecting; i.e. won't pair, but once paired works fine.
Anyone had similar issues. This is my 5th MacBook and the first time I've had a problem.

Ah, here we go. The alert can be safely ignored. Your drive is fine:
Symptoms
When you test your Mac notebook using an SSD or Flash storage drive with Apple Hardware Test (AHT) diagnostics, you may encounter the following message if the test is looped multiple times:
4HDD/11/40000000:SATA
Resolution
The alert is erroneous and generally takes multiple loops of Apple Hardware Test to induce.
Before starting Apple Hardware Test, looping can be enabled or disabled by pressing the L key on the keyboard. If the message appears and there are also other issues with the computer that appear to be related to the solid state drive (SSD) or Flash storage drive, schedule an appointment at an Apple Retail Store or contact an Apple Service Provider.

Extended Hardware Test - can this miss a dead hard drive?

Hello,
I am having all kinds of problems with my computer since installing a recommended update last week. I cannot fully restart it, cannot make repairs with disk utility, and cannot reinstall OS X to the harddrive volume because it doesn't list any available volumes. My hardware profile, as listed in the Hardware Test utitily, is as follows:
Product: MacBook
Mac Model: MacBook 2, 1
CPU type: Intel Core 2 Duo
Number of cores: 2
CPU Speed: 2 GHz
L2 CPU Cache (shared): 4mb
Boot Rom version: MB21.882.00A5.B07.0706270922
System Serial #: xxxxxxxxxxx
SMC version: 1.1780
Memory:
Overview: 1024 MB
(details about RAM)
I ran the hardware test, choosing to perform extended testing (took ~40 minutes), and the result was "No trouble found." I noticed there is no mention of hard drive space - should there be? This information doesn't show up anywhere in the disc utility diagnostics/profile - leading me to the thing the harddrive is busted - but the hardware test found no problems. Is it possible for the hard drive to be busted but the hardware test to not recognize this? Any suggestions? [I posted a more detailed, general inquiry over here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7873412&tstart=0 without much luck.]
Thank you!

Ok so I haven't received any helpful information on the question of whether or not Apple Hardware Test can fail to recognize a dead hard drive... can anyone recommend a replacement hard drive? I believe I need a 2.5" internal SATA, can anyone confirm this for me? Thank you!!!

Extended hardware test question

i am running a hardware test on my macbookpro and the test says that "Estimated time to complete: 1 hour or longer , depending on the amount of memory installed." it says "Test" in the bar with no more progress bar shown and under "Test Results" it says "no trouble found" and "Pass Number: 3, Total Time Testing 2 hours 22 mins 16 secs".
the fan started blowing loud and hard when i started the test (unlike the mac pro test) and i am just wondering if this sounds right.
the fan blew loud and hard through the whole test. loud and hard enough to be concerned about it.
is this all normal? normal for a certain MBP model, all MBP's?
thanks

If there is an update to your particular graphics firmware, Software Update will let you know; if there is nothing showing there, it means there is no update available for your configuration. Do not simply download from the Apple website and install something that could cause havoc on your machine.
I'm not sure what the problem might be, but it could be graphics card and/or logic board related. Since you've already done the SMC and PRAM resets, unless someone else has another idea, I'd suggest booking an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar for a free evaluation and diagnosis. If the problem is intermittent, take screen shots or video of it so you can show it to them.

My imac8,1 has an error code of 4HDD/11/40000004:SATA(0,0) what does this mean and where or how can i get this fixed?

I need my computer although it is old i bought it in 2008, i just can not afford a new computer. Could someone possibly tell me the meaning of my error code?

The error shows a problem with the hard drive, and as it says SATA, it may be related to the SATA connector of the hard drive or the logic board. I recommend you to take it to an Apple Store or reseller to get it diagnosed, so you will know what the problem is and they will provide you a solution. If the problem is in the logic board, this may be an expensive repair

Is it normal for the laptop to run warm if doing an extended hardware test?

My question pretty much... because it feels warm.

Hi greyskiesblack
Agree w/ ds store: he's on point!
I use a Belkin laptop cooler that I picked up at WallyMart (WalMart). has small 11/2 fan also use one for 2TB Time Capsule w/ TC upside down on it to cool. Belkin has USB and works well as TC has a USB port also.
BTW new iPhone 4S(64GB) runs way too hot w/ AC charger but fine w/ USB as a charger. Battery life, of course is significantly reduced by heat.

Apple Hardware Test (Perform Extended Testing)

Hit the 'E' key to select Perform Extended Testing if you are unable to select it with a mouse.
I've been working on my wife's new iMac (I7 27") that she purchased a few months ago. Because it is so new, I wouldn't even waste my time on it and just sent it back to Apple to have them look at it (currently suffering slow startup times), however we recently moved overseas to Kyiv, Ukraine. During the troubleshooting, I found the following site:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
which informs users how to use Apple's Hardware test. Unfortunately, the app only recognized the wireless keyboard and not the wireless mouse. I didn't know who to contact to have the webpage updated because there is a way you can enable the extended hardware test from the keyboard (by hitting the 'E' key). Unfortunately, I had to figure this out on my own after exhaustive searching on the internet and websites. Hopefully, someone can pass this information along. I wish the app was more keyboard friendly.
I see some other posts that I haven't tried yet, so hopefully they might resolve me issue.
If I can't fix the problem, I'm going to have to see if there may be a rep in this country who to replace/fix the unit.
Kevin

Yesterday I ran the Apple Hardware test ( Version 3A181 - Perform Extended Testing ) from my MacBook OS Install DVD and Everything passed 100% ( entire test took 57 minutes and 15 seconds )
Forgot to mention after the Apple Hardware test was finished No Problems Were Found...
This isn't making any sense to me - Any Suggestions to what the cause of these Safe Boots may be ?

My mid 2012 Macbook Pro get a 4HDD/11/40000000: Sata(0,0).I just upgraded to a samsung 850 evo 500 gb ssd and i used super duper to clone it?

I had no problems with my computer until someone told me to check apple's hardware test and now this code has me worried. Should I contact samsung about this and get a replacement drive or is it just apple doing it because its not from apple. One minor problem i had is when i shut the cover and then plug it in it sometimes crashes and gives me a kernel panic when i turn it back on. I just repaired my drive in disk utility and it hasn't helped now it crashes more!
HELP!!!!

I read it and i have been documenting the past two times it has had a panic attack and i saved the logs it gave me

I think it is the norton i got from comcast for free so i am going to uninstall all the files that are associated with it and see how that goes

After an apple hardware test on my iMac I got an error code ?

So I did an extended hardware test on my apple imac and after an hour of testing i got this error code: 4MOT1/140000003: HDD-1363. The next day I did another hardware test on my apple imac but this time iI did a quick hardware test and after about five minutes of testing this time I got the same result except this time the 4-digit code or number after the 'HDD-' changed to a different one, like... 1476. So what does this mean, I mean my computer is working perfectly fine without any problems (except for that one time when my brother punched my iMac's screen really hard a couple of times and a couple of hard punches on the hard drive however it was working fine but he did it again and it froze the time he did it again and i had to restart it but everything was STILL working fine after I restarted it !) but when I do the Hard ware test I get those errors so what does this mean ? Is it possible to fix ? Would apple fix it for free as my warranty has expired ?
All help appreciated
Thanks
Yaseen

don't know why, but try using Disk Utility to repair the drive:
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.

Apple Hardware Test - no faith

I just don't think, actually I know it's not accurate. My 12" PowerBooks hard drive was clearly failing and it said everything was "okay" right up until it would no longer boot. My PowerBook was showing severe issues for two weeks before it failed major. Now I boot it off an external drive (I plan on eventually getting it fixed).
Well my 2nd gen MacBook Pro has seemingly turned off while asleep but it was still on (e.g., would not wake, was still on, and yet the sleep light off) at least 4 times know in 3 months. I now this for a fact as I never turn it off, and when I went to wake it on these occasions it was warm, the sleep light was off, and it would not wake. It would not power up simply by hitting the power button, but instead, I had to hold the power button in for like 5 seconds for it to reboot.
I ran the "The Extended Hardware Test" on numerous occasions fearing the worst and everything come up fine. Obviously something is wrong and yet nothing comes up yet AGAIN, just like with my PowerBook.
Does anyone else think the "Hardware Test" is a bunch of poop?

If you haven’t already done so, “Repairing Permissions” and/or Resetting the Power Management Unit (PMU) is known to resolve certain anomalies or conditions, and may help with your symptom. Neither process will not compromise or harm anything with your Mac so it’s worth a shot.
Repair Permissions:
Go to: Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
Select: your Hard Drive
Select: the First Aid tab
Select: Repair Permissions
Resetting the Power Management Unit (PMU)
If the computer is on, turn it off.
Disconnect the AC Adapter and remove the computer's battery.
Press and hold down the power button for 5 seconds and then release the button.
Reconnect the battery and AC Adapter.
Press the Power button to restart the computer.

Apple Hardware Test error 4MOT/4/40000003:HDD-1211

Did extended hardware test......got this error 4MOT/4/4oooooo3:HDD-1211

Apple does not publish their error codes, however the HDD indicates it's a hard disk related error. It could be the drive, a fan sensor, a HD fan, etc... Before you do ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING backup and then take the machine in for service immediately.

4HDD/11/40000000: SATA(0,0) error on AHT, but not on extended AHT.

I have the mid 2010 15" i7 MBP (no hardware upgrades except a replaced logic board in 2014) and I ran the AHT which gave me the 4HDD/11/40000000: SATA(0,0) error. After this I ran the extended test but no errors were found. I ran standard AHT again and then got the same error.
Is this error something I can ignore or should I take my computer in for a diagnosis at the Apple Store? Thanks.

We don't have charts to tell us what all the error codes mean. However, 4HDD is a hard disk drive error. If your drive appears to be working then I would take this time to make a bootable backup on an external drive just in case.
Clone Yosemite, Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

I've encountered 4HDD/11/40000000 SATA(0,0). AFTER SOME RESEARCH IN APPLE COMMUNITY, I LEARNT THAT IT'S A HARDWARE ISSUE. SO I WILL BE TAKING MY MACBOOK PRO TO NEAREST APPLE STORE. MY QUE IS, WILL IT BE FIXED IF I UPGRADE FROM OSX 10.8.5 TO MAVERICKS?

Of course not. It's a hardware problem, so it can't be fixed by upgrading software. The only option you have got is to take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller.
That error indicates a problem with the hard drive. What you have to do is to make a backup of your files and take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller, so they can confirm that the problem is the hard drive and not the SATA connector, which could be worse.
If it's a hard drive issue, it's not expensive (about $100-200, depending on the hard drive). If it's a SATA connector issue, the whole logic board may have to be replaced.
Note that you can replace the hard drive yourself if you want, but the cost between doing it yourself and taking the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller is similar

4HDD/11/40000000 SATA (0,0)

I recently got this error message when doing a disc utility check on my white macbook - 4HDD/11/40000000 SATA (0,0).
Now everything I read has told me that this means my hard drive is failing. After this happened my computer took forever to start, and when it did nothing would mount, including the dvd drive and anything plugged into the usb port, or any type of program like vlc. Eventually the computer wouldn't even start. So I decided before I declare it dead, I would try to reinstall mac osx 10.5.6 (the disc that came with this computer, which is by the way the mid 2009 white macbook 2.13 ghz). So, when i inserted the disc, and tried to reinstall mac os 10.5, it worked. Not only that, but when I ran the apple hardware test, no errors were found even when I ran the extended test. Also, the computer starts up as fast as it did when I first got it, all the drives mount, and it basically is working as good as new (so far). I was wondering, is it possible that the problem I was having is now fixed? Should I trust that this computer is worth buying a new battery for (which it needs) and perhaps buying a new/cheap hard drive in case it fails again? To me it's odd that not only is my computer working again, but it seems to be as efficient as it ever was. If anyone could give me any answers or suggestions, i'd appreciate the help.

Well I agree in a sense that I will be backing up important things pretty much everyday. But I do think that i'm going to buy one of the cheap replacement batteries and a new hard drive that i'll keep to the side when this one does go. I'm hoping to get about six months out of this machine, and I generally use it as a glorified netbook. Does that sound reasonable?
