Apple Hardware Test launches Open Firmware window

At work, I have a 2.3 GHz Dual-Core G5. When I run Apple Hardware Test [Extended], it generates an Open Firmware window in the lower-left corner at 11 minutes.
Has anyone else seen this?

I DID read the link - you should re-read my post. I have a G5 [the article refers to G4's] and a later version of AHT [which the article recommends updating to]. As soon as I removed the questionable RAM, the problem went away.

  • I can"t open the apple hardware test from the applecare support website

    i received the applecare training program for my birthday and while exploring the applecare service source website i found a image file of the apple hardware test (AHT) for each model along with a pdf of the service manual and a pdf of the AHT service codes. The problem i'm having is, i cant open the image of the AHT.

    After downloading that image, open it and it will show up mounted in your desktop. Then, open Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities), right-click your Apple Hardware Test image in the sidebar and burn it to a DVD. Finally, start your computer from the disc, holding the C key, so Apple Hardware Test should start, always that you have the correct version for your computer.
    You have Apple Hardware Test in the Applications disc that came with the computer. In that case, hold the D key while your computer is starting

  • How to launch Apple Hardware Test from a USB optical drive?

    Hi all!
    First off, and before you guys starting proposing solutions I can't implement, I don't, repeat DON'T have a Firewire optical drive, nor am I going to buy one: I recently had to buy a USB LG optical drive to compensate for my SuperDrive going AWOL on me. I used said drive to reinstall OSX about a month ago, so this LG drive works just fine, thank you.
    The thing is, I'd like to conduct an Apple Hardware Test, and I know you have to boot from OSX CD n°1 (in my case) to do that. Alas, since I can't boot from the CD in my SuperDrive by keeping the D key down, all I have is this LG thingy, and I wonder how I can conduct my hardware test with a USB optical drive.
    I'll sum it up for you:
    1) My SuperDrive isn't working, stopped working about the same time I installed this EFIng (guffaw, guffaw) Security Update 2009-001;
    2) I don't have a Firewire optical drive;
    3) All I have is a USB optical drive and MacOS X CDs.
    4) Booting with the OSX CD in my USB optical drive and keeping D, C or alt keys didn't help.
    I read in another forum that you could somehow copy the content of the OSX CD on a flash drive, then boot from the flash drive and conduct an AHT, but I'm not sure how it can be done.

    Hi!
    Looks like we posted at exactly the same time, Glynn! LOL
    Anyway, I did just what you said, drag'n'drop and all. The problem is, when I boot from the USB hard drive, it's exactly as if I were booting from the CD: first I'm asked to choose a language, then the install screen appears, and I can either reinstall on my startup disk from the USB hard drive (that's kinda cool, but I don't think I leave in on my USB hard drive, which can only content 40Gb, because I've almost 25Gb worth of data to retransfer soon...
    So, in a nutshell, I couldn't find Apple Hardware Test anywhere. I even explored the CD content, but there are so many files...
    What's my best option now? Could AppleJack help me here? Can I install AHT on my startup disk and boot on it using a special set of keys?
    Almost time to go to work. A 5 minute walk, though...

  • Files/Folders Sticking to Mouse Pointer - Not Releasing (Reset PRAM & Apple Hardware Test Fail to Run)

    I've been having two issues with my Late 2008 MacBook Pro 15-inch - Running OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion).  Unable to Reset the PRAM and Run Apple Hardware Test (AHT).
    On a random basis - File/Folder icons are Sticking to the Mouse Pointer - Not Releasing.  I've done everything from trashing finder preferences, making sure Universal Access preferences are off, Restoring Defaults in the Energy Saver System Preferences, Resetting the System SMC.  Another post mentioned that this is being caused by the Graphics Driver not working correctly - and mentioned to put the MBP to sleep, then wake it up, and the files/folders are no longer sticking to the mouse pointer.  This works for me and released the sticking items in the Finder.
    OK, Good this is a simple fix, BUT, what is really causing this issue, and how may it be fixed or repaired?
    I also tried to Reset the PRAM and Run the Apple Hardware test (AHT), and these both fail to run on my MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.5.
    1) Resetting the PRAM:
    Shut down the MBP, press the power button, and hold down at the same time <option><command>-P-R.  The Reset PRAM process never starts up, but rather I receive the Padlock/Password Login which logs me into the Restore System Utilities.  I'm unable to Reset the PRAM.
    2) Apple Hardware Test (AHT):
    Shut down the MBP, press the power button, and hold down the "D" key, the system boots up as normal and does not enter the AHT.
    The File/Folder Finder sticking to the mouse pointer issue is very annoying.  Does anyone have a solution to resolve this issue?
    - Cheers

    HI Barbara,
    It sounds like the hard drive is failing or has failed. Boot from your Mac install disc and if you can run Disk Utility in case the startup disk needs repairs.
    Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    *(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
    If you cannot boot from your install disc, try booting in Safe Mode
    What is Safe Mode

  • 2008 Imac apple hardware test

    I have a 2008 24" Imac running 10.7.5, my boot rom version is IM91.008D.B08, and my SMC version is 1.37f3.  I'm trying to run the Apple Hardware Test but I'm not having any success;  I depress the d key but it just restarts normally, same with  option d.  I checked out the firmware version and Apple says it's up to date. Maybe it's not possible?  Thanks, mj.

    Unless disc 2, "Applications Install DVD," states to use the D key on start up to launch AHT, you can't and need to use the disc. If the disc says to use the D key, then you need to restore the .diagnostics folder that Lion apparently blew away.
    To do that, mount disc 2, launch the Terminal app in /Utilities, copy & paste this command into the window that pops up, and hit the return key:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1
    OPTION-click & hold the Finder's Dock icon and select RELAUNCH. That unhides all hidden files/folders.
    Drill down to /"Applications Install Disc"/System/Library/CoreServices/ and drag the .diagnostics folder into your SL boot volume's /System/Library/CoreServices/ folder.
    Run this command to hide the normally hidden files/folders and RELAUNCH the Finder again.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0
    Restart the machine and you should be able to boot into AHT when restarting and holding down the D key.

  • G4 that will not boot from any disc EXCEPT the Apple Hardware Test CD

    We have a DP 1ghz Quicksilver PowerMac G4 that will not boot from any disc EXCEPT the Apple Hardware Test CD that came with the machine.
    We were in the process of installing 10.4 Tiger before placing it for sale.
    The Mac was originally OSX Server 10.1 that we later converted to a worksation running 10.3 Panther.
    It has 1 GB of memory, 80GB hardrive, 250MB Zip Drive and a Radeon 7500 video card.
    Since this machine only has a CD-R drive and not a DVD-R, we installed Tiger using another Mac via Target Disk Mode. The installation process went well, but when I tried to reboot I got a Kernel Panic right after startup screen with the grey Apple logo.
    On some reboots we get to the blue startup screen, others it stops at the grey Apple logo, others a black box like the a Kernel Panic - but with no text. Twice it went directly into Open Firmware.
    We have done the following during our troubleshooting:
    - Reseat RAM, Video Card, Hard Drive, Zip & CD-R connections
    - Remove RAM 1 stick at a time and reboot
    - Replace RAM with RAM from another working Quicksilver
    - Replace Video Card with one from another working Quicksilver
    - Zap PRAM
    - Reset CUDA switch
    - Unplug the MAC and remove everything (RAM, Battery, etc) for 30 minutes and try to reboot
    - Tried booting from the Macintosh Server G4 Software Restore CD
    - Tried booting from Mac OS X Server CD
    - Tried booting from AppleCare Protection Plan CD with TechTool
    - Tried booting from Diskwarrior CD
    - Tried booting from an external FireWire drive with a disk image of Tiger OS Install
    - Tried booting with the hard drive disconnected
    The Mac WILL boot from the Apple Hardware Test CD and will pass ALL of the extended tests.

    Conventional wisdom says that any Mac that will not boot up from a System/Install CD OS 9 or an Install CD Mac OS X, has a Hardware problem.
    The diagnostic CD is a red herring because it uses a very primitive method of reading the CD, and so does not properly represent the machines general ability to read CDs.
    I would look at the CD drive cables, etc, and see if another drive gives different results.
    You have not mentioned using the Startup Manager (option key at Startup) to do any checking:

  • How do I run Apple Hardware Test on a 2012 MacBook Air with 10.8.4?

    Hello everyone,
    I am trying to run Apple Hardware Test on a mid-2012 MacBook Air with 10.8.4 installed. Whenever I restart and hold the letter D my computer goes into internet recovery mode and asks me to connect to Wifi... Please help, thanks!

    Using Apple Hardware Test on computers with OS X 10.7 or later
    Mac NoteBook and Desktop computers shipping with OS X 10.7 or later have a partition on the hard drive or flash storage that contains AHT. To start AHT on these computers please follow these instructions:
    Press the power button to turn on your computer.
    Press and hold the D key before the gray startup screen appears.
    It takes a minute or so for AHT to start up and inspect your hardware configuration. While this is taking place, an icon appears on the screen:
    When the process is complete, select your language and click the right arrow. If you aren't using a mouse, you can use the up and down arrows to select a language and then press the Return key.
    The AHT console appears. You can choose which sort of test or tests to perform:
    To perform all of the basic tests, click the Test button or press the "T" key or the Return key.
    To perform a more thorough diagnostic test, select the "Perform extended testing" checkbox under the Test button before you click the Test button.
    Note: Your test results will appear in the window in the bottom-right of the console.To exit AHT, click Restart or Shut Down at the bottom of the window.
    Some Macintosh computers that shipped with OS X Lion and later support the use of Apple Hardware Test over the Internet. These computers will start up to an Internet-based version of AHT if the hard drive does not contain AHT.  An Internet-enabled connection via Ethernet or Wi-Fi is required to use this feature. Internet-based AHT functions the same as AHT on the hard drive or flash storage outlined above.
    The Mac NoteBook and Desktop computers listed in Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery will require a firmware in order to support the Internet version of AHT. Without this update you may see the behavior discussed in this article.

  • HT4904 Apple Hardware Test or not?

    Tried to open Apple Hardware Test on my MBP Pro 13", but pressing the D-key while starting the MBP did not work.
    Turned to "Computers that can be upgraded to use Lion Internet Recovery" where the latest MBP 13" is early 2011.*
    My MBP 13" is late 2011 (recently upgraded to OSX 10.8.1).
    What can I do to use the test?
    *Download and install an updated EFI Firmware ROM for these computers to use the OS X Internet Recovery feature:

    Ok, I tried it but the disc is damaged and can not be read.
    (Strange because the disc have never been used. I called Apple about this and they
    said that they do not produce CD/DVDs anymore with AHT.)
    Which number did you call?
    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource:  International Support Phone #s.

  • Imac 24 aluminum - apple hardware test using wireless keyboard

    The manual that came with my imac describes the steps to run the apple hardware test as follows:
    1. disconnect all external devices, except keyboard and mouse
    2. restart mac holding the 'd' key
    The apple hardware chooser should appear next.
    When I do these steps it goes right to my desktop every time. I am running a mac wireless keyboard and mac mighty mouse.
    Anyone have an idea how I can get the Apple Hardware Test up?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    It can take a few minutes for the AHT to appear after booting, D key, etc:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
    Try shutting down your iMac, reboot and THEN do the AHT.
    Are you able to boot from the restore disk?
    To check the hard disk:
    Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
    Insert your Mac OS X Install disc in your computer’s optical drive or an optical drive connected to your computer, and then restart your computer. When you hear the startup tone, hold down the C key until you see the progress indicator, which looks like a spinning gear.
    Follow the onscreen instructions until the Menu Bar appears with the Utilities menu in it, choose Utilities > Disk Utility, click First Aid, and then click the Verify button. If DU reports errors, click Repair. When it's finished, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Disk. In the Startup Disk window select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.

  • Apple Hardware Test

    I just upgraded the ram in my new 2011 iMac and I want to run Apple Hardware Test. Since Apple no longer supplied a DVD with this bootable app I was wondering how I can launch the App. I tried apple's online doc and held the "d" key down to try to boot it from the internet but eventually the OS just launches instead. I then read that you are suppose to pess Command + D, same thing its a gray screen for a while but then eventually launches OSX. I even tried a bootable DVD of Snow Lepard and its not compatable. Please help. Id like to be able to run the hardware test.

    Hello
    Instructions tu use AHT from help menu
    try use an ethernet cable , turn off airport ,restart your computer while holding down both the Option and “D” keys
    Use Apple Hardware Test
    Open the Help Viewer’s Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear) and choose Print to print these instructions.
    Disconnect all external devices except the keyboard, mouse, display, and speakers. If you have an Ethernet cable or external DVD drive, disconnect them.
    Restart your computer, holding down the “D” key while the computer restarts.After your computer restarts, you should see the Apple Hardware Test chooser screen. If you don’t, Apple Hardware Test may not be available on your computer. You may be able to start Apple Hardware Test from the Internet. Reconnect your computer to the network, and then restart your computer while holding down both the Option and “D” keys.
    When the Apple Hardware Test chooser screen appears, select the language you want to use, and then press the Return key or click the right arrow button.
    When the Apple Hardware Test main screen appears (after about 45 seconds), follow the onscreen instructions.

  • Apple Hardware Test DISABLED by update?

    Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions. Is there a way to get this feature working again?
    MacBook (Late 2007) has a cool undocumented feature... hold the D key at startup, and Apple Hardware Test (AHT) launches--WITHOUT THE DVD. Yes, it's built-in.
    Sadly, this feature seems to have been disabled by a recent update... possibly the Keyboard Firmware Update
    Sigh. Now I have to drag out my clunky old DISC just to quick check TBOT
    see other posts here regarding 4SNS/1/40000001:TBOT error in AHT

    Try starting the AHT with the OPTION + D keys.
    You should be able to use the #2 install disk.  It has the AHT instructions on it.
    Ciao.

  • Cant run apple hardware test

    I have a G5 20" iMac, intel based. I've been trying to perform a Apple Hardware test but am unable to get it started.
    Any help?

    Thanks. Yes, I have a late 2007 20" imac. The model I have is a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, with 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM of Memory. I have a 320 GB Hard drive. The disks that came with the computer when I bought it in 2009 from Apple (3 of them) say iMac G5. I have 2 G5 Mac OS X install disks and a G5 Add'l Software and Apple Hardware Test Disk.
    My problem started a couple of weeks ago when I would be getting the spining rainbow beach ball. I've opened Utility Disk and have Repaired Disk Permissions.
    When I tuen on my computer I follow the instructions to the letter (from the link you gave me, I already had that and have tried it a few times) and it still will not start the test.
    Each time I try it, I get the grey progress bar underneath the Apple Logo and spinning grey gear. The progress bar goes about a third of the way and ends then, the blue screen appears and my login window appears.
    I have tried to run the Hardware Test by booting from the Install Disk, and from the Hardware Test Disk as well and the same this happens.
    No matter what I do I can't seem to get the test to start, nor, start my computer without this Grey Progress bar underneath the Apple Logo and spinning gear.
    I susspect I need additional Ram installed, but do not know how to check my computer to find out.
    Lastly, the computer will only work for about 5 - 15 minutes normally after logging on. After this time the rainbow beach ball comes back and even the simplest of task can't be performed with a wait for the beach ball to stop and go away...
    I'm stuck and don't know how to proceed...
    I have $0 money left to invest in a certified Apple technician to come to the house to fix the problem...
    Help....
    Thanks,
    Brian

  • MacMini 2010 4,1 how to run Apple Hardware Test from  /System/Library/CoreServices/.diagnostics folder

    I have a 2010 Mac Mini4,1 with SnowLeapard and plan to upgrade to Mavericks, but can't run Apple Hardware Test from my applications disk 2 that came with the machine.  For some reason the Mac can read it and kicks it our after about a minute.  Seems to be able to reado other disks, so this one may be corrupted. I found info on this community that says that the AHT is on the hard disk and I found it here /System/Library/CoreServices/.diagnostics using terminal.  When open that folder using terminal it open a window with that folders contents.  My problem is I can execute the only unix executable in that  folder.  It responds with "No application knows how to open /System/Library/CoreServices/.diagnostics/diags.efi"
    Can someone help me out here or if there is downloadable somewhere on line that I can get?

    My 2010 4,1 Mac Mini still has the HW Test on the Internal HD after updating it to Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks.
    see > Using Apple Hardware Test
    Additionally if your using a wireless keyboard and it is not invoking the Hardware Test using the D key immediately after the chine, then you may need to use a USB keyboard. Adding that any Apple, PC or generic Logitech USB keyboard should work for invoking the startup commands. 

  • Kernel Panics, Sudden Logout and Apple Hardware Test

    Hello,
    I have been experiencing Kernel Panics and Sudden logouts twice a week. I thought it was strange, because my boss just bought me the MacMini with 8gb RAM preinstalled.
    I want to solve the problem, but I don't want to send my machine to support in vain.(because the MacMini is actually owned by the institution I work in, and those things take time).
    So I ran some diagnoses I heard about on the internet, but I don't know what they mean, or what I should do with it.
    I made two kind of diagnoses:
    I tried to run Quick Apple Hardware Test.
    I tried to run Mac version of memtest in single-user mode.
    I made both diagnoses with each memory separatedly, in every slot combination possible, and both memories together.
    Everytime I tested both memories together, AHT froze while testing memory, and memtest resulted in failures.
    Everytime I tested a memory module separatedly, memtest and AHT gave no errors.
    Is there any explanation for my Mac Mini not like my both memory modules together?
    I updated OS X to 10.7.3 with combo update, and FileVault(don't know it makes any difference).
    I made all tests with no peripherals other than a DVI monitor on HDMI out, a Magic Mouse, and a Apple (wired) Keyboard.
    What should I do?
    Should I send it to support and spend my next month without a machine?

    If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
    If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
