How do you start the hardware test on an imac with bluetooth keyboard

How do you start the apple hardware test on an imac with a bluetooth keyboard as the instructions is to press the D key whilst restarting? And of course the imac cant see the keyboard whilst booting up as the bluetooth connection has yet to be established

Have you tried following the directions for running it from the DVD? The instructions are on the Hardware Test link.If you are correct and it cannot due to the wireless keyboard not making a connection you will need to borrow a wired USB keyboard.

    how can you start the tag config editor from a vi or when labview starts?

    Hi,
    There is a VI called "dsc_TagEditorLauncher.vi" under "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\project\lvdsc" folder that can be used to launch the TCE programmatically. I hope this helps.

  • HT5248 How do you start the dictate feature?

    After the update iWork still looks the same and search Help did not bring anything up. So how to you start the dictate feature to have your speech to text?

    Once you upgrade to ML, you go to System Preferences and enable it. Then you select your shortcut for turning it on and off. The default is a double-tap on the fn key.

  • How do you alter the bookmarks bar on an iMac?

    How do you alter the bookmarks bar on an iMac?

    Safari bookmark bar is viewed by clicking on the book icon on the far left side of the bar, and selecting the Bookmarks Bar Collection.
    Drag bookmarks and folders into the Bookmarks bar Collection or directly into the bookmarks Bar if you want them to appear there.   You can edit them right on the spot by clicking on them once.
    If you mean the Dock, the translucent bar that starts at the bottom of the screen (which you can put on the side of the screen), just drag items to the left side of the Dock's divider that are applications you wish to keep a shortcut to.  Folders to the right side.   When you minimize a window with the yellow control, it minimizes to the same side of the divider as the folders and documents you might drag to the Dock.   Note, the Dock is only a shortcut.  Many mistake it for a folder.  It is not.     If you want your application to be dragged out of a DMG you just double clicked, drag it to your Hard drive -> Applications folder.  Dragging it to the Dock will only make it inaccessible when you dismount the image.  And when you trash the image, the application is gone.  Only if you store it in your Hard drive -> Applications folder is it safe.
    If you mean the Finder window left sidebar just drag items into it between the icons already there. Your Finder menu's Preferences allows you to select default folders and devices to show there.

    Wow!
    I'm not going to be of much use regarding answers but I sure am going to watching this post like a hawk for any replies. My package is a slightly diluted version of this and I do find the BBtalk and data limits hard to make the most of as well.
    If nothing else this totally highlights how complicated BT have managed to make their packages.
    A cynic would assume that they are trying to catch us out at every step and for us to either be overspending or not really getting the moneys worth.

  • Trouble running hardware test on 07 iMac with noisy fan

    Hello
    I have an 07 iMac with a noisy fan- I've tried vacuuming out dust from the back but want to avoid taking it apart if possible...
    I read online I should run the hardware test, but since I am running Mavericks the Apple support advice is to run the original OS X install disc and restart (holding down D or Option+D)...
    Long story short I got a replacement disc from Apple (I'd lost the original) but the iMac ejects it when I restart following the process above... could it be my bluetooth keyboard? Hopefully not since I no longer have the original hardwired one... or does anyone have any other ideas for either how to get to the hardware test... or fix the fan (without a third party app just stopping it)
    Thanks!

    Try holding down the Option key to get the one time boot manager screen then select the AHT. Not sure as Apple moved it around on different install discs but it might be on the Applications discs and not the OS X discs.

  • How do you get iPhone 5 to connect to iMac through bluetooth?

    How do you get iPhone 5 to connect to iMac through bluetooth?
    I know the basic steps, but all I get is pairing unsuccessful. I'm using an older bluetooth, would that make a difference? I got connected once with a Motorola bluetooth, but can't reconnect. TIA!

    Try the Bluetooth Troubleshooting steps here:

    Note that you need to have Personal Hotspot set up with your carrier and on your iPhone before you can connect the computer.

  • How do you start the lightroom app on an ipad offline

    I have a Mac with Lightroom 5.6 and a new iPad mini 3 with the current lightroom app. I have synced three test catalogues and enabled offline editing for one so I can review photos and share them on the iPad offline. However the Lightroom app wants me to log in before it starts which I cannot do offline. I have scoured the web. Am I missing something obvious here? How do I start the app offline?

    One odd thing is that you say you have synced 3 catalogues. You can only sync one. Do you mean collections?
    As for signing in, initially you will have to be online, either through a SIM card or on a network, because you have to point the app to your account and let it sync photos. After then, when you're offline you don't need to sign in start using the app. You're not signing out, are you?

  • How do you run a hardware test?

    Seems like ppl are running hardware tests...how do you do this?

    I already know how to do the Hardware test. I am talking about the Apple Care CD that comes when you buy Apple Care. This CD is supposed to boot the machine and run Techtools. It does not, I was wondering if anyone has been able to boot the Apple Care CD. I did find another thread where this is a problem. It sounded to me like he said he could boot from his Apple Care CD I wanted to know how he did it. Some people have complained about the issue here

  • HT201257 How can I run the hardware test when my USB ports and bluetooth doesn't work?

    The USB ports and the Bluetooth suddenly will not work on my Mac Mini (2008). There is very little I can do except using Remote Desktop. To run the Hardware Test, the D key has to be pressed during startup. I got no key to press. Is there any other way to do this?

    Sorry, focused on bluetooth issue. If USB and bluetooth are knackered, try an SMC reset:
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • How do I access the hardware test, How do I access the hardware test

    08 MacBook with newest Lion. Is there a startup that allows me to access the Hardware test? Don't have disks with me.kk

    Command D will do nothing. Option d will load the Internet version of AHT but that will not work on a 2008 MacBook.
    Booting while holding the d key is not likely to work either, since Lion tended to erase AHT on the boot volume.
    AHT must be run from your Mac's original Applications Install DVD. It can also be reinstalled on the boot volume, if desired.

  • I can not perform hardware test on 2011 imac with mavericks

    I unplug all devices from my iMac and held the d key and still can not get to the hardware test. The Mac store was able to perform it with a wired mouse even after I added more ram therefore I know it can be performed. Am I leaving something out?

    Read the instructions in Using Apple Hardware Test.
    If your iMac shipped with discs, you must run AHT while holding the d key while starting the Mac with its grey Applications Install DVD inserted in the optical drive.
    To force the Internet version of AHT to load: with two fingers hold option d while starting your iMac with a third finger.

  • How do you start the Brochure "getting started" piece?

    I'm sure it's obvious to the folks that use this software how to use this download, but can't see anything that indicates how.
    Yes, I downloaded the files and they went into my download folder on my MacPro, I then decided to move them to another more convenient to find folder.  This is what the unzipped  contents of the folder look like:
    The contents of the "read me" file look like this:
    Opening the folder in Finder does nothing more than display the contents as shown as above.
    There are no other clues, that I can find, on how to start the Getting started tutorial.
    Ken

    Hello Ken,
    To get started, just start watching the first video in the series on the same page you grabbed the file download from.  As you progress through the content, the presenter will let you know when you need to bring in the various sample files you downloaded.
    Please let me know if I did not understand your question correctly.
    Thank you,
