MacBook Pro integrated with Apple Hardware Test?

I was over at the MacBook Air support page, when I came across this article on how to test your hardware for issues.
And was wondering if it also works on MacBook Pro's or if its only exclusive to MacBook Air?

Thanks,

It's supposed to:

Yes, but that tech article is misleading. The hardware test is available at boot time and is firmware based. You do not need to have the Install DVD in the drive to run it, just press D after the "bong".

  • Graphics card/logic board issues: Macbook Pro Freezing during Apple Hardware Test!

    I have a macbook pro that was working fine then the screen started acting funny. It would sometimes "tile" up where you would see the same issue repeated over and over on the screen and then computer would freeze. Sometimes the screen would start to have a strobing look and then freeze. I thought the computer was crashing but once the screen froze but the processor was still running. I knew the computer was still processing because I was streaming a video online and the audio from the video continued to download and play event though the screen was frozen.
    I went to the apple store and they said they think it sounds like failure of the hardrive, graphics card, display, logic board. A new hard drive was just put in the computer about 4-6 weeks ago, and if it is the other issues could be $500-$800+ to repair. I tried to use the Apple Hardware test (non-extended test) but it keeps freezes at 2 min 32 secs every time when it starts "testing the main logic board"....
    Has anyone seen anything like this and have another way to test what the problem could be? Thanks!

    I know you're in denial, but it really does sound like the motherboard or graphics board which is integrated with the motherboard.  Yes, fixing these things will cost almost as much as a new MacBook Pro.  Get a new one, take the HDD out of your old one, and start over again.

  • I want to connect my MacBook Pro (2009) with Apple TV

    I want to connect my MacBook Pro (2009) with Apple TV
    I updated my Mac to Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)
    I had tried connecting my Mac for many time but I could not.
    iTunse is connected with Apple TV

    Read this link.  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404
    2009 MBP is not supported for native AirPlay Mirroring.  Sorry.
    There are a couple of other pay-for apps that do this, but they're not as good... some people have had success.

  • New RAM and issues with apple hardware test

    I just upgraded to 4gb of Samsung memory in my Macbook Pro. I had several issues with the computer continuously rebooting. I went into Apple Hardware Test and tested the memory. One of the dimms failed immediately so I pulled it and tested the other. It seemed to just go to around 6-10 minutes and just not do anything after that. The cursor still moves but nothing else.
    I had them replaced with Samsung original even though the computer came with Nanya. My previous Macbook Pro had Samsung and I had good luck with it. This is a Santa Rosa platformed 2.4 Ghz version with the 7200 rpm 160 gb hard drive. I'm also running Leopard but that should be independent of the apple hardware test since the OS is not required to boot into it.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Evidently its not freezing. It just doesn't update often. Its at nearly two hours now. I wasn't giving it enough time to run.

  • Is my mid 2010 macbook pro compatible with apple tv?

    I just purchased apple tv and am having trouble with airplay are mirroring?  I need to know if my mid 2010 macbook pro and ipad 2 are compatiable?  Because so far the only thing i am able to get on my apple tv is my music.  I am unable to mirror any of my pics or applications.
    Help please!!

    It has a newer processor that is capable of video encoding.
    AirPlay Mirroring in OS X takes advantage of the hardware video encoding capabilities of 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core processors. Hardware video encoding allows AirPlay Mirroring to efficiently deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance.

  • Mac book pro wont run apple hardware test

    Hi,
    I have several problems with my Mac book Pro. Problems started so that I couldn't sign in to my account, three other account worked quite normally. I did run disk utility to fix problems that there was. That didn´t fix account problem. Then I tried to install SnowLeopard again, but it hangs after a while.
    Hardware test programs starts and immediatelly after that computer shuts power off.
    Here is the problem from installer.log (at least I think that here is the problem) But I can not say, what causes the problem

    I wonder if it a permission issue?
    Maybe chmod 777 the correct files would help
    Not sure which files but you did have an error which says it cant write due to being read on. Are you the admin of the laptop and are able to mod all the files?
    I could be wrong but just an idea.
    Have you also tried to re-download the OS you are trying to install in case it is corrupt?

  • Inputting audio/video into my macbook pro? with Apple DVI to Video Adapter?

    I work with video, and am trying to save my minidv cam's life. is there a more direct way to input directly from a vcr/television into my macbook pro? because right now i'm having to input from my vcr/television into my minidv then into my macbook through firewire.
    i was considering the Apple DVI to Video Adapter ( http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=724 17D66&fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/cables&nplm=M9267G/A#overview )
    but i'm fairly certain that this is output-only. does anyone know if there is a way to input through it as well, or anything that works similarly?

    I thought that cables and adapters worked the same going either direction. I believed that the only concern was the male or female end points on them. Not sure anymore though

  • Error 4hdd/11/4000000:sata ssd - using Apple diagnostics on a MacBook PRO 15" with 512GB SSD. My trackpad goes berserk.

    I have a MacBook PRO early 2013 15" (10,1). 16 GB RAM, 512GB SSD. Running Mac OS X 10.10.
    A couple of weeks ago my trackpad started being unresponsive and within a couple of days was not usable. Searched for solutions and have tried them all, (control option shift L power); (Option cmd R P power) (checked for dirt around the trackpad) (Cleaned the trackpad in case there was oil on it from my skin) (shut the screen and leave for a few minutes and try again).
    I ran apple diagnostics (twice) and got the error 4hdd/11/4000000:sata ssd.
    I have noticed that the computer recently will also randomly reboot.
    When I connect the bluetooth mouse it sometimes has problems connecting; i.e. won't pair, but once paired works fine.
    Anyone had similar issues. This is my 5th MacBook and the first time I've had a problem.

    Ah, here we go. The alert can be safely ignored. Your drive is fine:
    Symptoms
    When you test your Mac notebook using an SSD or Flash storage drive with Apple Hardware Test (AHT) diagnostics, you may encounter the following message if the test is looped multiple times:
    4HDD/11/40000000:SATA
    Resolution
    The alert is erroneous and generally takes multiple loops of Apple Hardware Test to induce.
    Before starting Apple Hardware Test, looping can be enabled or disabled by pressing the L key on the keyboard. If the message appears and there are also other issues with the computer that appear to be related to the solid state drive (SSD) or Flash storage drive, schedule an appointment at an Apple Retail Store or contact an Apple Service Provider.

  • What is the difference between Apple Diagnostic test and Apple hardware test?

    I've just been wondering if one is better than the other? My mac shipped with apple hardware test, and I'm curious if the newer Apple Diagnostics is better

    Apple Diagnostics is better, but no Mac model can use both it and the Apple Hardware Test.

  • Apple Hardware Test on Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo (early 2007) with no DVD?

    Hi,
    My Mac is keep on freezing and I would really like to know what is wrong with it. (I did PRAM NVRAM reset 100 times... didnt help.)
    I can't find my OSX Tiger DVD which was included when i bought my Macbook Pro in January 2007. So I've been reading through forums like crazy trying to find another way to run AHT (apple hardware test). So far I came up empty.
    So my question is: If I upgrade from Lion (which is my current osx on this machine) to Mountain Lion, will I be able to use online AHT (option + d)? Or more general: is there any way to run AHT on my machine or any other way to find the broken component. or should i just throw it away?
    Thank you.

    Take your machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and they will run free diagnostics. If there's a lot that needs to be done on your machine to get it back up and running, ask about Apple's flat-rate repair pricing. For less than $350, you could have a machine that is almost like new.

  • HT201257 Holding down "D" no longer starts Apple Hardware Test!  Any idea what's happened and how I fix it?  Or do I need to go to the Genius Bar?  MacBook Pro with Lion Preinstalled.

    I have a MacBook Pro with Lion Preinstalled, so AHT was present on the hard disc and worked when the product was new.  One of the first things I did from new was run AHT and it worked fine.  But now it doesn't start - instead the machine (eventually) boots into normal OS X.
    Holding down "D" no longer starts Apple Hardware Test!  Any idea what's happened and how I fix it?  Or do I need to go to the Genius Bar? 
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b), if it makes any difference.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks.  However, even with an internet connection that doesn't work for me - the machine just (after an extended delay) boots normally.  It doesn't download.
    Option-D works for an Internet-based AHT.  However that only works with an internet connection.  It doesn't seem to download it and install it - it needs internet every time.
    Any idea how my local copy of AHT disappeared?  I haven't repartitioned the drive or knowingly deleted anything.  And how do I reinstate it (because if you need AHT your hardware problems may preclude internet access!)?

  • Separate Apple Hardware Test DVD for MacBook Pro original??

    Hey Folks, I'm trying to verify whether or not the MacBook Pro came with the Apple Hardware Test as a separate DVD disk. The "MacBook Pro" Install disk references it but I can't seem to find the software on that DVD. Any guesses out there would be appreciated. I'm about to perform an upgrade for Tiger to Leopard and wnat to give my laptop the "hairy eyeball" before I begin.
    Many Thanks,
    Peter

    Insert the DVD and start up the computer with the D key held down. The Hardware Test is on a separate area of the DVD and isn't normally accessible.

  • MacBook won't boot after trying to repair with Disk Utility. Cannot boot in Safe Mode. Just powers down after about 5 minutes. Apple Hardware Test says error 4SNS/1/40000001:IG0C-0.265 But I cannot find anything on the net about it. MacBook 4,1 Intel.

    Hello Everyone,
    I am in dire need of assistance I am hoping someone could provide. I have a MacBook 4,1 with Intel Core 2 Duo processor 4GB Ram. It is taking over 10 minutes to boot up past the gray apple screen when I turn it on. First I cleared the PRam (?) then I checked the disk using Disk Utility Verify, and it said the disk needed repairs. So I ran the disk repair and it said it was unable to fix the errors on the HD.
    I did a little research and tried booting into the Single User mode, then running /sbin/fsck -fy. It said that it found errors but could not fix them. I ran it two more times as suggested and got the same result each time. I then tried rebooting and now instead of taking 10 minutes to boot up, it takes about 5 minutes on the gray apple screen and then just turns off. I started in Verbose mode to try to troubleshoot the error and it appears the last thing to come across the screen before power down is a message "Apple Yukon 2: RxRingSize <= 1024....etc".
    I decided next I would run the Apple Hardware Tester. The test came back with an error code "4SNS/1/40000001:IG0C-0.265". I am very good at searching the web but I could not find any errors that had the IG0C or IGOC or any combination at the end, but plenty of 4SNS/1/40000000(1) errors with different endings. From what I can tell people are saying anything with 4SNS/1/4000000 is a logic board failure, but this computer was literally just booting this morning until I did the /sbin/fsck -fy.
    Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
    Thank you for your time.

    You've a couple of issues .... when Disk Utility tells you it can't repair a drive, if the error is a soft error, like an invalid tree or node, Disk Warrior (or TechTool Pro) can handle it. However, if Disk Warrior (or TechTool Pro) can't handle it, you can erase and write zero's to the hard drive and restore to it, or you can buy a new hard drive. Sometimes running SMART Utility can provide additional insight into the health of the hard drive. 
    THe 4SNS error is a sensor error.  You could install iStat Pro to see if something is indeed getting too hot or remaining room temp or less.  You may need to take it into an Apple shop so they can use their thermal diagnostics to test and isolate it further.

    Does anyone know how can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3. Thanks.

    Sean and Andy -
    I have to agree with Andy here. I am having the same problem on a mid 2010 MBP (6,2). I have already read the AHT info provided by Sean's link, and they are less than helpful. I'm sure they will be helpful to those who find that they work, but they are confusing if this is not the case. For example, my MBP(6,2) came with ONE (not two) installation disks, so the instructions don't work for me. Another issue is the instructions confound the descriptions related to the MBP, the original (delivered) software (OS X version), and the current installed OS X upgrade software.
    So here's what does NOT work for me... 
         (A) I cannot install 'Disk 2', since I never received this with my original (new) purchase in mid 2010.
         (B) I have checked my firmware versions and they are all up to date, as per Apple's information.
         (C) As suggested in another thread, I looked for /Library/Core Services/.diagnostics and it was NOT present. I followed his instructions, downloaded the correct (I believe) dmg, and installed it. It is in the correct place, and I can see all the invisible files using Pathfinder.
         (D) When I re-start holding down the D key (immediately), it just goes through the normal boot routine; no evidence of AHT.
         (E.1) When I re-start holding down OPT-D, I get a spinning globe, and then it prompts me for a network (wi-fi) connection.
         (E.2) For some unknown reason, the prompt identifies between 2 and 5 of my --neighbors'--  routers, but does not show mine. (??!!)
         (E.3) The routers are listed alphabetically; however, my router SHOULD be at the top of the list by this criterion, but it is nowhere to be seen.
         (E.4) The 'internet recovery' process then allows me to enter a network name AND password. I do this, for my current wi-fi router, and the process rejects it as an incorrect login ID. It is NOT an incorrect login ID! 
    So, now asking Sean and Andy (or anyone else) for further suggestions... ???  As Andy suggested, many people ask questions here because they have -already- worked through the 'official' recommendations, and have found them to be inadequate.
    Any advice would be appreciated!  TIA.

  • 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.
