I really need help with the Apple Hardware Test!

I have been having problems with the computer freezing. The other night the only way I was able to start it up was to boot off the install disk. My brother being fairly savy with Macs helped me with this. Long story short, I uninstalled and reinstalled all of my non Mac programs. This happened three days ago. Everything seemed fine. Then tonight, same thing. My screen froze, and I shut it down. I couldn't access anything. I zapped the pram, and my user screen came on. When I tried to log in it froze again. Then it started just shutting off on it's own. Everytime I turn on the computer it shuts off. So then I tried holding down the shift key, then by accident, I held down the D key. I thought I remembered my brother doing this. Then the Apple Hardware Test screen came on, so I did the test. It said: A harware error is detected 4HD?11?40000004:SATA(0,0)
What does this mean and what do I do?

SATA would very likely mean your hard drive is failing or has failed. Do you have AppleCare?

  • G5 Full Speed Fans/ The Apple Hardware Tests Error Code

    Since yesterday My DP1.8 G5's fans are max speed like jet engine. I tried PMU resets , Disk warrior. But nothing helps. The Apple Hardware Test gave me error code of "post/192/0" . Do you guys know what does this error code mean?
    Thank you.

    Hi-
    Welcome to Discussions!
    I think thast the error is related to the "Power On Self Test", or POST. When you start the machine, are there any beeps, or power button LED flashes? If there is a POST error at startup, the power LED would flash in cadence with the beeps..
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable
    Do you have any new RAM installed?

    Apps downloaded with an Apple ID are forever tied to that Apple ID and will always require it to update.
    The only way around this is to delete the apps that require the other Apple ID and download them again with yours.
    Or simply log out of iTunes & App stores then log in with updated AppleID.

  • Need help with the Magic Trackpad

    I really need help with my Magic Trackpad. I just got it in the mail yesterday and when I was trying to set it up, it's not responding to the "one click." In the TrackPad Settings, I managed to turn off the Secondary Click and just have the Single Click checkbox turned on. How I managed that was double clicking on the bottom right side of the trackpad, but that's if I'm lucky enough for that even to respond. I have also tried to turn off my Mac and turning it back on with the trackpad on hoping it would just turn on the default settings. This is really starting to get frustrated and I know the Magic Trackpad is really cool on fun to use because I used it plenty of times I the Apple Store. Now I do know that all the motion gestures work, the only problem I'm having is the clicking mechanism.

    The clicking mechanism is located in the lower left or right corner of the trackpad, for single-click select, or secondary (menu) select, respectively. You can also configure single finger tap to select or double-finger tap for the alternate menu selection. Watch the trackpad preference videos by clicking on each setting text.
    Here are my System Preference settings for the Magic Trackpad.
    Point & Click
    Everything checked but three finger drag.
    Secondary click configured to click or tap with two fingers.
    Scroll & Zoom
    Everything checked
    More Gestures
    Everything checked but App Exposé

  • Really need help with MSI R7970-2PMD3GD5/OC:(

    Greetings to all,
    I really need help with my brand new MSI R7970-2PMD3GD5/OC. I've purchased it two days ago and I didn't really have time to test the card until yesterday. The card is I think way to hot for my "liking". It idles at 56c-60c, at full load in Heaven benchmark 3.0 in 1920x1080, extreme tessellation and 8xAA card reaches 95c-97c. Stock cloacks are 1010Mhz/1375Mhz and stock voltage is 1,174v. Case is being cooled by two Noctua NF-P12 fans. Also I tried lowering the voltage and "underclocking" the card to a standard 925Mhz in small increments, but it doesn't help at all. Each and every time it results in BSOD and dx dll errors and complete system failures. Replacing the card wouldn't be a problem if I lived in a "normal" country that has access to a steady supply. Retailer that sold me a card told me that only 5 cards total have been imported from the launch day and told me that i bought the "last" card in my country. They could order a replacement but it would take them more then a month to do so.:( Ohhh and one more thing I don't overclock, everything in my case is at their default values.
    Recently, I read that "Amd released" a bios update for a standard reference boards that turns them into a "GHZ editions". Also lot of users report a lower voltage requirements and lower temps with that "boost bios". As I understand this card pcb is not Amd's reference board design, I could be wrong it's not that uncommon.. So I didn't want to risk warranty by flashing it to a position 1. Will MSI release the boost bios for this model of card? I am humbly asking MSI staff on how to proceed regarding this problem. I would be immensely grateful for any help you could provide.

    what PC case you use exactly?
    have you tried to open PC case side door and to retest?
    Hi,
    it's open case. If i close it the temps get even worse:(
    They get better for other components, but not for gpu. Two Noctua NF-P12's are cooling the case, first one is positioned above gpu, left side next to cpu. Other is right beneath the gpu, right side of case. Just under the hdd section of the case. I tested each and every component with my backup card nv 8500gt. They function within the specified parameters. I'm getting somewhat worried.

  • I need help with the Web Application Certificate

    Greets,
    The title says it all really. I need help with the Web Application Certificate.
    I've followed the instructions from here:
    https://www.novell.com/documentation....html#b13qz9rn
    I can get as far as item 3.c
    3. Getting Your Certificate Officially Signed
    C. Select the self-signed certificate, then click File > Certification Request > Import CA Reply.
    I can get the certificate in to the Filr appliance but from there I'm stuck.
    Any help much appreciated.

    ok when you have you self signed certificate and you requested an official certificate with the corresponding CSR then you just need to go back to the digital certificates console. To import the official certificate, select the self signed certificate, then click File > Certification Request > Import CA Reply. Then a new windows pops out to select the certificate from your trusted authority from your local hard disk. Find the file (.cer worked for me) and click ok. As soon as you do this in the digital certificates console the self signed certificate will change the information that now it is officially signed. Look at the second column and you should see the name of your trusted authority under "issue from"
    I personally had a lot of issues across all platforms. Especially Firefox and Chrome for android. Needed to pack all the root cert, intermediate cert and signed cert into one file and import as CA reply. Not even sure if this is correct now. But at least it works.

  • HT5312 i need help with the security questions is there some way to get you to remind me what they were from e-mail or other wise

    I need help with the security Questions is there some way to get you to remember them by e-mail of other wise

    Read the HT5312 page that you posted from, it has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Need help with the Vibrance adjustment in Photoshop CC 2014.

    Need help with the Vibrance adjustment in Photoshop CC 2014.
    Anytime I select Vibrance to adjust the color of an image. The whole image turns Pink in the highlights when the slider is moved from "0" to - or + in value.  Can the Vibrance tool be reset to prevent this from happening? When this happens I cn not make adjustments...just turns Pink.
    Thanks,
    GD

    Thank you for your reply. 
    Yes, that does reset to “0” and the Pink does disappear.
    But as soon as I move the slider +1 or -1 or higher the image turns Pink in all of the highlights again, rather than adjusting the overall color.

    Freezing, or crashing?
    ID on the Mac can produce reports that may (or may not) prove helpful in diagnosing the problem. I suspect this is something not directly related to InDesign, and maybe not to any of the Adobe apps directly since you seem to be having a problem in more than one. That often inidcates a problem at the system level.
    Nevertheless, it won't hurt to try to gather the reports. You'll find driections for how to generate them, and to post them on Pastebin.com (then put a link to them here) so we can see what's going on at Adobe Forums: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding
    Do you happen to run a font manager? If so, which one, and waht version?

  • Need help with the session state value items.

    I need help with the session state value items.
    Trigger is created (on After delete, insert action) on table A.
    When insert in table B at least one row, then trigger update value to 'Y'
    in table A.
    When delete all rows from a table B,, then trigger update value to 'N'
    in table A.
    In detail report changes are visible, but the trigger replacement value is not set in session value.
    How can I implement this?

    You'll have to create a process which runs after your database update process that does a query and loads the result into your page item.
    For example
    SELECT YN_COLUMN
    FROM My_TABLE
    INTO My_Page_Item
    WHERE Key_value = My_Page_Item_Holding_Key_ValueThe DML process will only return key values after updating, such as an ID primary key updated by a sequence in a trigger.
    If the value is showing in a report, make sure the report refreshes on reload of the page.

  • Need Help with the Clone Tool

    I need help with the clone tool, in that when I clone (let's say grass as example),  the new cloned area does NOT come out as sharp as the area selected.  It comes out much softer and somewhat blurred.  I have the opacity and flow both set at 100%.  This is very frustrating since I can not get a true clone.

    what "tip" do you have selected? where are you sampling from ( found in top option bar) ALSO make sure MODE is normal
