Is the mac mini g4 spost to come with the hardware test disks?

Hi,
Is the mac mini g4 spost to come with the hardware test disks?
If so how do I get them?
I did not get it when I got my mac mini?
Thanks.

I know that booting up while holding the D key with the Install disc in the drive will boot to the Apple Hardware Test on a Macintel, and although I haven't tried that key on my G4 yet, I believe that the proper way to select AHT as the startup volume from the Install disc is to do so from the Startup Manager (which is accessed by holding the Option key during startup) ...

    I don't really know how well Logic Express 7 performs on the Mac Mini because I have not yet had the chance to experience the two together. Don't let that put you off the idea though! From my understanding of the system requirements printed on the Logic Express homepage, it states that a G4 or faster system is required, however Apple personally recommend a Dual G4 or G5 is recommended alongside a minimum of 512MB of Ram. This Does mean that Logic Express will run on the Mac Mini but you will most probably find it lags when moving samples in real time and rendering them onto your hard drive. If you really want to enjoy making "serious" music on the Mac then you really need to be looking at the iMac G5 or the iMac Core Duo (Intel) purely for your tempers sake. As for an Intel Mac Mini, there is no indication as to when we will be seeing one on the market and therefore you may find yourself on the fence between keeping your fixed budget and holding on a little or jumping in and getting on the right road to a digital musical life - mac style.
    Maybe this will inspire your decision:

    how to run the Hardware test on a Mac mini 2015 ?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    New Macs come with Apple Diagnostics instead of Apple Hardware Test, but their purpose is the same: check that your Mac's hardware is working properly. See -> https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18765?locale=en_US
    To run it, you only have to hold down the D key while your Mac is starting up, and follow the steps.

    Please help.

    Sounds like you may have a hardware problem since it won't read from DVD, and it is only a year and a half old.  Hopefully all it is, is bad RAM*:

    Just purchased a new mac mini 3GHz Intel Core i7, with 16GB ram version 10.10.1. With it i purchased a new wireless keyboard. All of a sudden I was not able to use the #1 key. I thought I had a defected newly purchased keyboard. I pulled out my older wireless keyboard, and the same thing happened. It must not be the keyboard if it happened to two different keyboards. I have a habit of restarting my computer, when things don't work, I find it helps, and sure enough, everything works. Today, it happened again. Does anyone know what is causing this to happen?

  • Will logic pro x run on my mac mini dual core intel i5 with 4gb of ram and mountain lion ?

    hi there guys,
    will logic pro x run on my mac mini dual core intel i5 with 4gb of ram and mountain lion ?
    I'm not sure if my machine is 64 bit - it is the current model base mac mini.
    Many thanks for any help you can offer !

    SkiJumptoes is right. 4GB is not enough to comfortably run Logic X.
    Your Mac Mini will need DDR3 SODIMM RAM. That website seems incredibly steep though. I guess that's the price of finding it for you. You're better off going to any below:

  • Can I run the hardware test when I have four different accounts on my mac 10.8.4, can I run the hardware test when I have four different accounts on my mac 10.8.4

    Hi  Noticed that the top of my mac is nearly too hot to touch.  Did a search online and found out about the hardware test.  Looked up online user manual for my mac (Processor  3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 10.8.4) and noted how to perform the test.  However, when I keep my finger on the D button through start up it just brings me right to the screen where I have to sign in to my desktop account (there are four accounts on the desktop as it is a family mac).  Am I doing something wrong.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First, you should know that it's normal that your iMac is hot at the top. Here are the fans, so it's normal that it's hotter than other parts. Before going further, download Temperature Monitor and tell us which temperatures it indicates > http://www.bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
    If it gives dangerous temperatures, then you should run Apple Hardware Test. Looking at the processor the Mac has got, your Mac came with DVDs. Apple Hardware Test is in Mac OS X Install Disc, so insert it and hold the D key while your Mac is starting to start in Apple Hardware Test

    I can't figure out how to get this to work. Is it possible?

    No. There is no "USB Target Disk Mode".
    Just so we're clear, when you start your Mac mini in FireWire Target Disk Mode (TDM - holding T on startup), do you see a FireWire icon on the Mac mini's display? IIRC, it's not required that the Mac mini be connected to a display for TDM, but it would help diagnose whether or not the mini is actually starting in this mode.

  • Mac Mini won't boot - can't select start-up disk!

    Hi all -
    mid way through an important project, my Mac mini 2.1 hung and I restarted using the power button. When it came back on I just get the grey screen with flashing folder & ?.
    I have tried booting from the install cd & it does this successfully, but when I access disk utility, all the options for repair etc. are greyed out. I can't even reinstall OSX because the startup disk isn't available as an option to write to.
    I've tried running the hardware test by booting and holding d. This came back with no errors.
    I've tried zapping the PRAM and done the SMC thing. No joy.
    Any ideas on how to make the mini see the startup disk?
    Thankyou so much!

    Cheers. Am trying it now, have partitioned a fresh drive and specified it to be bootable thru GUID, then I selected the Leopard dvd as the source and the partition as the destination in the RESTORE function of Disk Utility. Is this correct?
    Will look into Diskwarrior too. Many thanks.

    I would opt for one 8 GB stick so you would have 10 GB. total. This says really no practical advantage in dual channel memory

  • Moving a drive with OSX to another computer? take it out of my Mac pro laptop and into my mac mini. can it be done with no OS/Hardware issues?

    moving a drive with OSX to another computer? take it out of my Mac pro laptop and into my mac mini. can it be done with no OS/Hardware issues?

    When I work with a drive to boot many computers, I use the newest model computer I will be booting, and set the system up on that, run all the Apple updates. Normally I will have no issue booting any older computer with the same drive. Unless of course those older computers do not support the operating system on that drive.
    If you want to test if the drive will boot the mac mini. Put your MacBook Pro into target mode. Connect the two computers together. And on the Mac Mini, go into system preferences and then under start up disk and see if the target disk mode computer's drive shows up there. Seelct that drive and restart. See if it boots ok. A bit easier then taking the drives out and moving things around.

  • I can't remember my mac mini password and can only log in under test, please help

    I can't remeber my Mac mini password and can only log in under Test.  Please help me as I would like to access my photos and personal information.  Thanks

    Forgot Your Account Password
    For Snow Leopard and earlier
         Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
    For Lion/Mountain Lion
        Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
         Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
         instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
         Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
         OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    If you cannot do the above then try this:
      1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
      2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each command line:
         /sbin/fsck -yf
         If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command until
         you do.  If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message,
         then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
         mount -uw /
         cd /private/var/db/netinfo
         mv local.nidb local.old
         rm ../.AppleSetupDone
         shutdown -r now
    The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
    This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
    How to reset the OS X password without a startup CD:
    Reboot into Single-user Mode. Enter the following and press RETURN after each command line
       1. Type fsck -fy
       2. Type mount -uw /
       3. Type passwd <username>
    I have never tried this method myself.
