MacBook Pro Retina, AHT Error: 4HDD/11/40000000: SATA(0,0)

I have written this post to note a strange occurrence with my MacBook Pro, with retina display.
When I had connected my classic iPod to iTunes, I had received an error message telling me that I was only using a USB 1.1 port.
I knew that this was impossible, so I had run an extended Apple Hardware Test to see if I had any issues.
Sure enough, I had received the above error.
After a restart and a quick back up to save my data, I had performed the extended Apple Hardware Test 3 more times with no errors whatsoever.
This message is not to solicit the "head down to your local Apple Store or AASP" advice.
I am curious if anyone else has experienced such an issue and what was their ultimate outcome.
For reference, I have a 15-inch, retina, 2.7 GHz, 16 GB RAM, 768 flash drive MacBook Pro notebook. I am running 10.8.2.
Thank you!

This is choice that is entirely within the OPs province.  I certainly agree with your position that intermittent issues are exceedingly difficult to diagnose and address.  Failure to recreate a problem does not mean that the issue does not exist.
The support article that you raise has a certain ambiguity contained within.  It states: "looping can be enabled or disabled by pressing the L key" .  Which is it?  That aside, this is the first I have encountered this feature since it is not mentioned in any of the AHT articles that I have come across.  The real question is, did the OP utilize this?
If I were in the OPs position and even considering the argument that you present, I still would make an appointment at the genius bar.  Call me Chicken Little if you will, but the warranty is there to erase any doubts whether the MBP has issues or not.  Apparently you would not, so I hope that we can agree to disagree on this issue.
Ciao.

  • I'm getting this: Error: 4hdd/11/40000000 SATA (0,0)

    I ran the Apple Start Up "D" test and it said Alert! Then is: 4hdd/11/40000000 SATA (0,0). Is there sometinhg really wrong????

    There are problems with your HDD.  Back up your data then open Disk Utility>First Aid and run verify and repair.  See if that solves the situation.

  • ITunes purchased movies do not run on macbook pro retina display - Error message: HDCP not supported.

    Hello community,
    If i try to play a iTunes purchased movie on may Macbook Pro 15 Retina, a Error message comes up "HDCP not supported". I try to run it on the notebook screen, I have not plugged in any external device (monitor, beamer..).
    Full Error message in german:
    Der gewählte Film kann auf dem angeschlossenen Bildschirm nicht wiedergegeben werden.
    Dieser Film kann nur auf Bildschirmen wiedergegeben werden, die HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) unterstützen.
    Any ideas?

    I had this same problem.  What worked for me- not sure which one did it, but I went to System Preferences-Displays, and I turned off "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" and I also changed my resolution from "Best for retina display" to scaled "More Space".  The other scaling options seemed to do similar.

  • Help: Macbook Pro Retina won't boot past Grey screen w/ Logo

    All,
    My computer died last night with each application not responding. I couldn't shut down normally so I held the power button to turn it off.
    Next morning, I tried to boot the MacBook Pro and the boot process stalled at the grey screen with the Apple Logo and spinning wheel. I let it go for an hour and there was no change on the screen. Based on Apple's help desk I ran Hardware diagnostics (extended with looping disabled) and got the following error
    4HDD/11/40000000: SATA (0,0)
    The screen shot is below
    I ran this again with standard testing (no looping) and standard with looping and all gave the same results.
    Any ideas? The compute will not boot.
    Thank you
    Phillip

    That's what I thought but was able to do CMD-R and verify/repair permissions the disk. My hard drive is actually a flash drive so I'm guessing the controller or motherboard.
    I do have it backed up with the last 24 hours ago.
    Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It looks like you ran Apple Hardware Test without plugging the MacBook to the charger. It's normal to see an error if you run Apple Hardware Test without your Mac plugged.
    Plug the MacBook Pro to its charger and run Apple Hardware Test again

  • 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.

  • I've encountered 4HDD/11/40000000 SATA(0,0). AFTER SOME RESEARCH IN APPLE COMMUNITY, I LEARNT THAT IT'S A HARDWARE ISSUE. SO I WILL BE TAKING MY MACBOOK PRO TO NEAREST APPLE STORE. MY QUE IS, WILL IT BE FIXED IF I UPGRADE FROM OSX 10.8.5 TO MAVERICKS?

    I've encountered 4HDD/11/40000000 SATA(0,0). AFTER SOME RESEARCH IN APPLE COMMUNITY, I LEARNT THAT IT'S A HARDWARE ISSUE. SO I WILL BE TAKING MY MACBOOK PRO TO NEAREST APPLE STORE. MY QUE IS, WILL IT BE FIXED IF I UPGRADE FROM OSX 10.8.5 TO MAVERICKS? What other options do I have? What can be an approximate cost for fixing this problem?

    Of course not. It's a hardware problem, so it can't be fixed by upgrading software. The only option you have got is to take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller.
    That error indicates a problem with the hard drive. What you have to do is to make a backup of your files and take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller, so they can confirm that the problem is the hard drive and not the SATA connector, which could be worse.
    If it's a hard drive issue, it's not expensive (about $100-200, depending on the hard drive). If it's a SATA connector issue, the whole logic board may have to be replaced.
    Note that you can replace the hard drive yourself if you want, but the cost between doing it yourself and taking the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller is similar

  • I have Windows 8.1 installed on my Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2013) and it keeps on crashing with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD error

    I have Windows 8.1 installed on my Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2013) and it keeps on crashing with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD error. Is this an issue with the bootcamp driver not compatible with Windows 8.1? or is there something I can do to fix this.
    I also keep getting WHEA-Logger Event-ID 19 warning events in the Windows Event Logs with the following details.
    A corrected hardware error has occurred.
    Reported by component: Processor Core
    Error Source: Corrected Machine Check
    Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error
    Processor APIC ID: 3
    The details view of this entry contains further information.

    likely win8.1 dont have official bootcamp support yet
    1/3 of my logins into win8.1 result in a fatal bluescreen
    was the same deal when I installed win8 before official support
    and when the drivers with official support was released the issue went away

  • Mavericks 10.9.1 error recovery HD (MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013)

    I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15 (late 2013)
    I want to reinstall mavericks on this computer but I cannot. Each time I log in recovery HD, a stop sign appear and then my computer shut down. Anybody can help how to get my recovery back? My computer is now 10.9.1 but I notice that my recovery HD is 10.9.0.
    Please help me! Any suggestion is appreciated.

    I've had the same issue. The solution given by Linc and many others don't work on MBP Retina models. Apparently, Apple did something so that these newer models would not proceed with bootdisks. The only way to reinstall Mavericks is to go through Internet Recovery. That's why Apply emphasizes it so much in their support page and the recovery screen.
    That's my theory through my trials and errors. Don't take my word for it. 

  • Macbook pro retina 13 late 2013 hdmi output error during wakeup

    hi
    i got a pretty annoying error while my macbook pro retina 13 late 2013 is connected to a 2nd screen (i set the 2nd screen as main screen).
    it all seems fine when i put the mac into sleep mode.
    when i wake it up, the mac screen shows the background picture and the 2nd screen (still main screen) which should show the login frame, just shows grey/black points.
    solution so far when you want to wake your mac:
    1.) wake it up
    2.) immediately put it back to sleep
    3.) then promptly wake it up again and get your login frame.
    does anybody know how to fix that bug?
    and btw, i got a second problem:
    im running osx mavericks, and id like to turn off the 2nd desktop while the mac is connected to a 2nd screen.
    unfortunately, this works only if you close your mac and it is connected to power supply.
    my momentary solution is to turn down the brightness to zero: problem, the 2nd desktop is still there and my mouse keeps getting lost on it!
    any solutions for that? like you can choose on windows "projector only"!

  • Macbook Pro Retina & Mediasonic ProRAID USB 3 issue - Error Code -50

    Hi everyone,
    I have a Mediasonic ProRAID 4-bay container (model HFR2-SU3S2) connected to my new Macbook Pro Retina via USB 3.0 (using the replacement pc board supplied by Mediasonic that provides true USB 3 speeds for supported apple devices). It is currently connected through a USB 3 hub but the same issue occurred when I had it directly connected to the laptop.
    I've noticed that when the laptop display goes to sleep (beyond the screen saver), when I return to do work and wake the display (a Dell 3011 30" connected using the apple dual link mini display adapter), the drive is mounted and I can browse the folder structure without a problem.
    However, whenever I do anything to write to the volume, like to create a folder, I get 'Error Code -50', preventing me from writing. Similarly, if I try to work on an image stored on this volume from within Adobe Lightroom, for example, I get Write error messages as well.
    I've found that the only short term fix is to unmount and powercycle the RAID box. Are there any other remedies that I can look into? I have my Macbook Pro configured to NOT spin down any hard drives nor does it go to sleep (other than the display) when connected to AC power.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Your still within your 14 day no question asked return period. 
    IMO, I'd return it for a refund and BTO the 15.4" MB Pro without retina.
    1.  High Resoulution Antiglare WS (1680X1050)
    2.  Upgraded 7200 RPM drive (upgrade to SSD later)
    I've read lots of post (here) about issues with the 1st Gen rMBP.
    I've also read lots of positive articles in favor of the rMBP.

  • 4HDD/11/40000000: SATA(0,0) error on AHT, but not on extended AHT.

    I have the mid 2010 15" i7 MBP (no hardware upgrades except a replaced logic board in 2014) and I ran the AHT which gave me the 4HDD/11/40000000: SATA(0,0) error. After this I ran the extended test but no errors were found. I ran standard AHT again and then got the same error.
    Is this error something I can ignore or should I take my computer in for a diagnosis at the Apple Store? Thanks.

    We don't have charts to tell us what all the error codes mean. However, 4HDD is a hard disk drive error. If your drive appears to be working then I would take this time to make a bootable backup on an external drive just in case.
    Clone Yosemite, Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    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.
         1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
             button.
         2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
         3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
         4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
             to the Destination entry field.
         5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
             the Source entry field.
         6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

  • Error and crash Macbook pro retina

    I'm using Macbook Pro retina approximately twice
    a day does not respond dramatically to manipulation of the mouse and then the screen goes white and then restored with a picture window and the power button is written in multiple languages ​​has been a mistake, press any button I press Poppy climbs the window is restored and that the maximum error due to the restored and what needs to send report to Apple. Started this idiocy about two weeks after purchase poppy. What is it and how to fix it? Thanks in advance. I think this is either due to battery or because the system (I think Leo is installed after you upgrade to the mountain lion is gone) or because of installed updates before they install it worked fine. I have moved the resolution to 1680x1050 on the Retina and everything works fine until I feel bad that the lion adapted to new hardware.

    I would return the unit to your local Apple Store or AASP. What you describe is not normal, no matter which version of OS X you are running. You're having crashes, kernel panics, screen problems, etc. It needs to be returned to be fixed or replaced.

  • New macbook pro retina ruined by kernel[0]: NVDA(OpenGL): Channel exception! exception type = 0x1f = Fifo: MMU Error

    hi everyone, i've been owning a macbook pro retina for 3 months. it never gave me any problem till 3 days ago, when i noticed it began to stuck randomly when the system performed an animation action (for example: click on the minus button on whatever app sometimes blocks my computer when the animation starts; opening an app from the dock; clicking on the "expand window" button of an app; dragging a usb device to the trash to eject it and more) this leads my computer to complete block, without possibility of recovery: only the cursor moves around, the screen freezes and after a while becomes dark, the combination cmd+alt+esc doesn't work, if i close the screen nothing changes and the apple on the back stays lit, the only thing i can do is forcing the shutdown through power button. now, after 3 days of searching in my console reports i've found this error:
    kernel[0]: NVDA(OpenGL): Channel exception! exception type = 0x1f = Fifo: MMU Error
    which i really think is the cause of my problem. however, searching on the internet for this error, i've learnt that a lot of people has had this kind of problem when changing their graphics cards with others, but obviously i haven't touched anything in my macbook pro! plus, i've performed onyx scripts, and also apple hardware test which initially (mac without electricity plug) gave me this error 4SNS/1/40000001 : IDOR-0.002 but then, when i performed the complete test (after plugging the electricity) disappeared. today i tried again the fast hardware test with electricity too and it didn't give me anything, so the first error may have depended on the fact that i was using batteries?
    is there a way to update graphics drivers on mac? can it be a solution?
    please help me decide if it's the case to bring it to the genius bar or if a solution exists for my macbook!
    thank you in advice,
    a desperate mac addicted

    NEVER EVER upgrade a version of OS X unless the computer is working perfectly to begin with, upgrading to attempt to solve a problem will only make your problem MUCH more difficult to troubleshoot.
    Good luck.

  • How to use my time capsule on my new macbook pro retina (time machine error)

    Hello all,
    I've been using my old mac for a while with my time capsule, but recently I bought the new macbook pro retina and I wanted to use the time capsule as the backup disk on the new one. However, whenever I try to run the backup, a message appears "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/XXX’s MacBook.sparsebundle” is already in use."
    I wanted to override the settings so that the new macbook will use the time capsule for its backup disk instead of the old one, as I will no longer be using it.
    I was wondering if anyone had this problem before and if anyone know how I can solve it?
    Thank you

    You could delete the old backup from your old laptop? If you need to keep it then you need to rename that folder so that your new macbook can creatie its own file in the same name.

    Ryan
