Downloading new AHT disc...

I recently bought a "cheaper" craigslist version of leopard for my G4. I am getting the error "waiting:we are hanging here...". I know that is a kernal panic error and some have said that it's probably due to the disc I bought being system specific/i got robbed/etc. I emailed the guy whom I had bought it from and ask him about the problem and he said to try a couple things but he said he thought the logic board may be going out? So in an attempt to clear that up I am trying to get a new AHT disc since I don't have the original that came with the computer.
He sent me the link to where to download it (I think) but the disc image i download only has a read-me. Disc utility won't let me burn this "Apple Hardware Test" disc on my desktop to an actual blank CD (I am trying to use disc utility since that is what Apple advised). I can't seem to get whatever I am downloading onto a CD. I burned one CD already and held down the "c" key while the computer started with no change or response in the start up what-so-ever. Just started up completely normal so i have no idea what I am doing wrong or what to do to run this hardware test to clear up all the odds and ends so i can just get my money back from this guy if need be. I have exhausted all I know to read of the Apple help stuff online.
I am lost at this point. Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated!

He sent me the link to where to download it (I think) but the disc image i download only has a read-me.
All the files besides the Read Me are hidden files. unmount that dmg in the Finder, Open Disk Utility and look for that dmg & Burn the DMG.

  • Downloading mountain lion damaged my hard disc. I took my Mac Pro to apple book store. They are unable to repair it and suggest I purchase a new hard disc for $160. It was a perfectly functioning Mac Pro that got damaged by downloading mountain lion.

    Software upgrades do not generally damage hardware; your drive's failure must be co-incidental. On most MBP's, a hard drive is very easily replaced by a user. You might want to check out this site for both hard drives as well as install videos (check which model you have so you can check the correct video):

    I just recently upgraded my MBP with an SSD; I purchased an kit with an external enclosure from OWC and cloned the current drive to the new one, installed the new drive and was done in no time.

  • My hard disc has failed how can I download data from my ipod to a new hard  disc?

    my hard disc has failed how do i transfer the data on my Ipod/Ipad to a new hard disc?

    In addition to the comments above, when you create a new library with the media that you recover this will be treated as "new" for the device and iTunes may want to wipe it and start over, losing any personal data and settings. The following approach ought to help.
    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to your iTunes installation
    Transfer your purchases into a library authorized to your account
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer (same as above)
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • Always crashing and rebooting when booting from my new win7-disc. Lenovo 3000 n200 0769-erg

    I have a fully working  Vista system on my n200, trying to boot from my new win7-disc, even tried to boot from usb but it's the same:
    "Loading windows files" followed by "Starting windows" with the new win7-logo.. After that comes a fat cursor(guess the resolution is lower, like in "Rescue and recovery").
    This cursor and a black screen is all I see for ~5 secs before it crashes. Same thing every time.
    It might be Rescue and recovery that starts there and crashes. If that's the case, how do I remove it/fix it in a safe way? Or can i try something else first?
    I am able to boot Linux from CD fyi..
    Thankful for any help.
    Regards

    hi perp,
    If you have tried installing Windows 7 in both AHCI/Compatible mode and the Windows 7 installer still crashes, can you try to run a diagnostic on the RAM/HDD (to make sure there's no hardware fault).
    To run the diagnostics:
    1. Download the the UBCD ISO
    2. Burn the ISO using imgburn
    3. Boot from the diagnostic cd and use MemTest86+ for the memory test and use Data Lifeguard (if you have a Western Digital HDD).
    To burn the diagnostic softwre on a flashdrive, follow this guide.
    If you get any errors, you will need to contact lenovo for service or you can DIY and replace the defective components.
    Hope this helps

  • I have bought an iMAC second hand but when updates to purchased (not by me) Apps I cannot download the updates as it is asking for the original owners password. How can I amend this or could I delete the Apps and download new ones in place under my email

    If the machine was upgraded to Lion 10.7.x by the original owner then you bought an illegal license of Lion and also of any other applications that the seller  said came pre-installed, this assumes the seller did not include original install media. In that case you need to contact the seller for the original install DVDs that came with the machine re-install up to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then purchase Mountain Lion ($20) and the applications you want or need. If the seller cannot come up with the original install discs then you can buy them from a nominal cost from AppleCare..

  • I have downloaded new version. Can't get any further than puttubg it in applications folder. What to do?

    I downloaded new version and can't get in dock.

    Which iBook do you have?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1772?viewlocale=en_US
    Which version of the OS is installed, and which version are you trying to install?
    You could try starting up with Startup Manager and see if it will allow you to select the OS X install disc as the startup disk. If so, maybe you can proceed from there. I would recommend repairing the hard drive first since you are evidently having a bit of a problem with it.

  • Can't update after installation CS5 to new hard disc, Help?

    I installed CS5 Design Premium to my new hard disc, installation was successful. However, the update failed. The feedback of failure: "There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later." When I press customer care of the feedback, it directs me to a web saying: "Error "This serical number is not for a qualifying product..." when installing an upgrade or upsell"
    So, I seek help from on-line chat and I was asked to seek help from Forum after got my serial number.
    Please help.

    "Error "This serical number is not for a qualifying product..." when installing an upgrade or upsell"
    Means what it says.
    You have entered an upgrade serial number for CS5 so the installer wants you to enter either a CS2 or CS3 or CS4 serial number to verify that you're eligible to use the CS5 upgrade serial number.
    Have you got a CS2 or CS3 or CS4 serial number?

    hi i have problem with my mac os x10.5.8 i cant't download new upload ?and the problem is that i can't found my app store on my mac .any help plz

    If you can... you need to Upgrade your OS X to 10.6.8
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Tech Specs  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
    Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

    You are confusing Free Disc Space with RAM.

  • After downloading a few discs into iTunes I am unable to sync these to my iPhone4.  Never had a problem before

    Downloaded new discs into iTunes.  Unable to sync these to my iPhone.  Calender, notes, etc are all syncing.

    I'm having same problem.   Plenty of open space on my iPhone4, and a bunch of music from itunes won't sync over.
    Very frustrating.
    I've asked this question a few times, and have yet to get an answer.

  • Need New Install Disc

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm a registered owner of a Macbook Pro and one of my adorable two-year old twins has used my install disc as a Barbie skate board (data side down!--although exactly which twin it was is still a mystery as they both deny it--I think I'm in for trouble!!). So my question is simple, where can I get or download a new install disc from?

  • I just had a new hard disc installed and now the LBP0000 canon printer does not work saying it can't connect to CCPD...connection refused! pls help!!?

    I just had a new hard disc installed and now the LBP0000 canon printer does not work saying it can't connect to CCPD...connection refused! pls help!!?

    You need to reinstall the printer driver, and set up the printer on the new hard drive.
    The Canon site should have the driver. Download it and install.
    Then go to Apple menu / System Preferences / Print & Fax and click the + (plus sign) and follow the directions.

  • New Hard Disc Drive installed but is not recognised on reboot.

    My Toshiba Satellite A200-1BW hard drive went (200gb, mk2035gss). I bought a new 500gb (mq01abd050) toshiba one and replaced it. After formatting it will not recognise the new drive. It goes through the formating process ok. on startup it says:-
    "media test failure" then later:- "Windows could not complete the installation, To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation."
    so far I have:- reinstalled/formatted many times. device manager in dos. disabled all network adapters and then restart. I do not have the option in BIOS to go from sata mode to compatability mode. Is this a Bios problem? mine is ISKAE BIOS VERSION V1.30 (26/32007). tried downloading new bios but appears not to work.
    I have 2048mb of ram in the machine. windows vista ultimate.
    I can boot up sometimes with the old drive which works for a while before freezing. I can attach the 500gb hdd externally via usb and it works fine. It has two partitions. 1.46gb WinRE and Vista. The old hdd 200gb has the same1.46gb and Vista. however when i use computer management the old hdd says the 1.46gb partition is healthy(EISA Configuration) and the new 500gb 1.46gb partition says healthy (primary partition), and the old hdd vista says healthy (system, Boot, Page file, Active, Crash dump, Primary partition). The new vista just says healthy (Active, Primary partition).
    Is this the problem or is this simple because it has not configured everything yet as it has never booted from the new drive? How do i get the new drive to say system, boot etc....... the old drives 1.46gb partion has no name and i cannot open it to see what's in there. the new one WinRE i can open. it has boot.sdi and a folder  "sources". in that folder is a file boot.wim The files installed on the new drive look the same as the old drive as far as I can see.
    in computer management i have made the new hdd default OS. If I reboot and go into system recovery options it lists the 2 drives. the old one says "microsoft windows vista"  the new drive says" windows vista (tm) ultimate (recovered)
    CD drive may need replacing so if I need to use the recovery disc again I will need help making a USB flash drive to boot up as the one i tried did nothing. what other info do you need?

    Hi! I'm not much help, but I seem to be the only one replying. I don't know Norton ghost 10. I use Macrium Reflect and I have always been able to restore my drive to just like the day I made the image. I have done it many times. Macriuum Reflect is my best friend. I just boot with the Linux based CD that you make on day one. I plug in my external USB. Macrium finds all my images and I just chose the date I want and in less than two hours I'm back up and running. I have never lost on bite of data and it has never let me down. I have no use for any thing Norton makes.
    Dokie!!
    PS The screen shot shows all three partitions of my HD. I can chose any one partition or all three if I'm restoring to a new drive. This is all I know. I can also mount any partition and see what is on it with Macrium.
    PS Here is all the files that are on my recovery partition.
    I Love my Satellite L775D-S7222 Laptop. Some days you're the windshield, Some days you're the bug. The Computer world is crazy. If you have answers to computer problems, pass them forward.
