How do I run Extended Apple Hardware Test imac 21.5 mid-2010 mavericks

How do I run Extended Apple Hardware Test imac 21.5 mid-2010 mavericks?  I have tried to start my computer holding down the "D" key but my iMac simply just restarts as normal.
I have checked the list of iMacs that can be upgraded to do an internet Extended Apple Hardware Test and I do not have one of those computers.
I cannot find any solution as yet.
I do not have the start up disks or the usb disks.

You can't run the hardware test without the installation discs.
Runaway applications can shorten battery runtime, affect performance, and increase heat and fan activity

  • How do I run the Apple Hardware Test? Its not on my DVD and the Internet-connected version tells me my computer isn't supported!

    I have a mini - late 2010 2.4 ghz core 2 duo - that just started black-screen crashing and failing to wake from sleep. Up to a few dasy ago this was a really bulletproof machine! When trying to restart it afer a crash it sometimes emits three weak beeps (sometimes more).
    Apart from spontaneous motherboard failure (??) I can only guess that the RAM failed (an 8GB upgrade installed last fall). I pulled one 4GB RAM board and the mini booted again! But it still sometimes fails to wake from sleep, and sometimes give the three beeps. I've run REMBER (a memory test program) on one of the RAM boards and it passes the test. My next step is to test the second one -- but whether it passes or fails there seems to be something else going on.
    I'd love to try the Apple Hardware Test but:
    - pressing D on startup has no effect (even when starting up with the original install DVD)
    - pressing Option-D brings up an Internet-loading screen that brings up a Hardware Test screen then tells me my computer is not supported.
    Is the AHT simply unavailable for my model of Mac? And/or is there any way to test my hardware?

    The 2010 Mac Mini's came with a 2 DVD set, a Mac OS X Install DVD (22691-6657-A) and an Application DVD (22691-6658 -A). The Apple Hardware Test is on the Application DVD (22691-6658-A).

  • Apple Hardware Test Unavailable? Mac Pro 2008, Mavericks installed

    Restarting my early 2008 Mac Pro with Mavericks installed while holding down the "D" key and it's just booting up like normal. Tried holding it before it shuts down, holding it after the startup tone, and holding it after the grey screen appears (which the apple site says is wrong).
    Any suggestions?

    That will only work with the original discs that came with the computer.

  • Run the Apple Hardware Test (AHT) from a external drive possible?

    Hi my DVD drive is dead and i need to do a hardware test now but my macbook pro spits the dvds out., does anyone have experience with running AHT from external drive ?

    macjack wrote:
    What are you using AHT for specifically? Could you instead use a utility like Rember for checking RAM, which does a better job IMO than AHT?
    -mj
    i got it back from a authorized apple center that replaced the logic board and video card but now my dvd drive does not work and i can not test it with the original dvds, it was a recall on apples part for a faulty video card.
    i want to test the v card as well as anything else i can do to see if someone snatched the original dvd drive becuase this thing was working before i took it there

  • How can I do the apple hardware test on a powerbook g3 pismo?

    I have two disk, the os 9 software installation disk, and the software restore disk. Which disk do I use and what key do I press when starting up.

    Hi Jim!
    Antarctica? Really? What are you doing there?

  • What does the error from my Apple Hardware Test mean?

    I was doing some maintenance on my iMac G5 (Ambient Light Sensor) this past week and found that my Video RAM might be bad.
    My first clue was that when I used the 'option' key on boot, one of the resulting screens was covered with vertical lines of about 1/16 of an inch.
    My second clue was that after running the Apple Hardware Tests, iMac Version 2.5.1 (the one that came with my iMac's original 10.4 Tiger installation disks), I was told there was a Video RAM error, but am not sure if I copied it right because all the little vertical lines. Here is what the AHT reported:
    ** ERROR ** ** ERROR ** ** ERROR **
    2ATI/1/4 113-xxxxx-117
    ** ERROR ** ** ERROR ** ** ERROR **
    Does anyone know what all this means? When I run OS X my desktop doesn't appear to have any video problems, so I was taken be surprise.
    Thanks.

    Well I just wanted to chime in I know this is a little late, but I just picked up a iMac G5 for $50 that had this same problem, I would recommend you take the back cover off of the iMac and inspect the capacitors, I did and found a blown capacitor I took the logic board out took it to a local PC repair shop and for $35 he replaced the blown cap. They don't have to be completely blown to mess things up just domed or really anything other than flat. I came home put it back together and everything works great. just something to consider I mean for 30-50 bucks what could it hurt otherwise if no blown caps are visible then your video chip needs to be reseated and I don't know what to tell you on that.

  • 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

  • Apple hardware test - how long?

    I have tried to run the Apple hardware test with my iBook G4. The reason for this test is that my ethernet port has stopped working.
    I have tried all online tips I can find with no result. The only things I haven´t tried is the hardware test and a complete reinstall of the OS X
    (in case the ethernet problem is software related)
    The hardware test works great until the test of the logic board. 33 seconds after pushing the start button, the fan speeds up for a second or two
    and then slows down and stops. The progress bar stops and there are no sounds from the ibook.
    It looks like the test have frozen, although it could be working veeeery slowly.
    After 37 hours I was feed up so I pushed the stop button. No reaction.
    Other two - button combinations doesn´t work. The only thing that stops the test is holding down the power button.
    The iBook boots nicely from the hard disc and from the installation CD.
    So my question is:
    How long should the hardware test normally take?
    Any other ideas?
    Timmy

    The Apple Hardware Test does not actually check the Ethernet port directly. It will, however, check the logic board that the Ethernet port is build-in to. Usually the longest part of the test is RAM. If you're not even getting as far as the RAM tests, then there could be something wrong with your hardware that the AHT can't overcome. But, in any case, it should never take more than an about an hour to run.
    Perhaps it's time to consider getting an AirPort card for the iBook and using wireless Internet at home?

  • Problems running Apple Hardware Test

    I'm trying to run the Apple Hardware Test, but it never seems to start. I've tried holding down the C and option keys on restart, but all that happens is that the disk is ejected, and when I push it back in the computer restarts as normal. Is there anything else I can try?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the for the suggestion, but holding down D doesn't work either. As the computer starts up, the disk ejects (whether there's a disc in there or not), no matter what I'm holding down. And when I push it back in there's a lot of whirring, indicating the disk is spinning, but the computer starts up as normal; no hardware test. Any ideas what's wrong?
    Thanks

  • Apple hardware test won't run

    I'm positive my exhaust fan is on it's last leg.  I want to run a hardware test to confirm, but nothing works.  I've shut down and held D on starting, I've held Option + D, I've held Command + D, I've restarted, shut down and started up with all these.  Nothing works.  I have a wired USB keyboard, and I've tried with it directly plugged into the mac.  I'm at my wit's end here!

    Hi Amanda Marvin!
    Try running the Apple Hardware Test by using the steps listed in this article about AHT:
    Using Apple Hardware Test
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
    If necessary, you may need to also try resetting your SMC if you are having difficulty loading the hardware test:

  • 2010 17" MacBook Pro i5 Apple Hardware Test Error 4SNS/1/40000000'TmOP

    While presenting a keynote the other evening a spinning rainbow wheel was being displayed as I transitioned between several of the slides. That was embarrassing for me and was very concerning seeing as this is a new top of the line machine and is just barely a week old. I ended up deciding to run the Apple Hardware Test by holding the D key during startup. Unfortunately it gave me the following error during the extended test: 4SNS/1/40000000'TmOP
    I called Apple earlier today and spoke to a supervisor who told me that this was a normal occurrence in all MacBook Pros. Is this really true? Could someone diagnosis this error further for me as I certainly was not satisfied with the answer I received earlier. Should I exchange the computer within the 14 day return policy for another while I can? If this is just a normal occurrence then I'm okay with that, but something just doesn't seem right here. Please advise me as to how I should proceed, thank you.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    That's a Temperature Sensor error and if it appears in repeated Hardware tests it most certainly is not normal by any measure. Run the test again and if you get that same thing take it back to the store where you got it, be polite but firm and insist they exchange at no cost.

  • Apple Hardware Test problems

    Hi All. I have a very weird problem here, as I can't get the Apple Hardware Test to start on my late 2008, 2.66 MBP15 inch model# MC026LL/A (released early 2009 as a quiet upgrade from 2.53). Here's the story:
    I opened up my machine as usual one morning, and the optical drive made a very weird noise I never heard before. So I decided to run the Apple Hardware Test (AHT) to see if anything was amiss. Well, I inserted the second install disk, held down the "d" key, and restarted the machine. It began to boot into the hardware test, but just after the AHT screen appears the computer just shut down. This happens every time I try to run the AHT.
    I went to an Apple Store while I was on holiday in Brisbane (they don't have one here in Adelaide), and the genius said it was likely a bad optical drive. Well, I returned to Adelaide last week and had the local Apple Authorized store replace the optical drive. Tried to run AHT once again, and the same problem persists. So the original problem wasn't with the optical drive.
    I thought maybe I accidentally used the startup disks for my wife's late 2008 15inch, 2.4, MBP (the one actually released in late 2008). I've looked around for the other sets of disks and can't find them. So here's what I'm asking help for: can someone who owns a 15inch MBP 2.66 15-inch (released in early 2009, model# MC026LL/A ) please tell me what the part # is for their set of install disks? It is written on the plastic sleeves of the install disks. And, could this person please tell which version of AHT is written on the disk itself? The set I have (which I think might be my wife's) has AHT version 3A158.
    Might this be the problem, or should my computer still be able to run the hardware test using my wife's disks? I know they are both technically late-2008 15inch unibody MBPs, but I think my 2.66 (again, quietly updated and released in early 2009) might require a different AHT version, which would explain my inability to run the test. If not, what might be causing my computer to not run the AHT? I tried reinstalling OS X to no avail.
    Thanks for all of your help!

    I think I share your skepticism--if your Mac was shipped with the later version of the OS, you should not have been able to do a clean install with discs of an earlier version. It looks like some machines originally shipped with OS X v. 10.5.5 and others with OS X v. 10.5.6. I don't remember just when 10.5.6 came out.
    Your two machines are likely very similar in build, and maybe similar enough for the OS to install. It may be that the AHT is specifically designed for the hardware in each machine, and that would be a bit different.
    As someone else said in another thread, there ought to be a tutorial on how to keep track of the original install discs since they are always getting lost. Maybe a secure note in the keychain or something like that.
    Out of curiosity, does the AHT work on your wife's machine? If not, there could be a problem with the install disc itself, and if so, you might be able to get a free replacement under warranty.
    Good luck!

  • Apple Hardware Test on a late 2008 MBP new HDD

    Hey Community!
    I own a Mac Book Pro - Late 2008 shipped with OSX 10.5.5. Currently I a new 500GB HDD and a 265 SDD are running in my MBP. The Super Drive is in an external USB Housing. Current OS X is version 10.7.1.
    I need to run the Apple Hardware Test, because sometimes the system seems to freeze for at least 30 seconds.
    What I've already tried:
    *) Holding down "D" at the startup -> nothing happens, normal startup
    *) setting start volume to external fire wire optical drive, insert 10.5.5. Installation disc, restart, holding down "D" -> startup with installation wizard
    *) same with 10.6 Installation disc
    *) same with choosing the Backup Partition when holding down "Alt" at startup and then pressing "D"
    Always, I was connected via WIFI and Ethernet.
    Can someone give me an advise how to run the Apple Hardware Test, or how to reinstall it on the new SDD Harddrive, where my system is mounted?
    Thank u and greetings from Austria
    Claudio

    Try using your disk utility to read the drives. I'm not at my computer now but if you go into utilities->disk utility you might be able to solve it from there.
    Also try holding down the C key on boot or esc.
