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.

  • Apple Hardware Test software for late '07 Macbook?

    Where do I get the Apple Hardware Test software for a late '07 Macbook?  Original disk is long lost and it doesn't appear Apple has this up for download.
    The battery is not taking any charge, totally dead after 772 cycles.  But don't know if its the battery or the Macbook's internal battery charging hardware.

    Using How to identify MacBook models your Macbook is a Macbook 3,1. At this link https://github.com/upekkha/AppleHardwareTest click on Macbook3,1 link which will download the AHT software. Here is the direct link - MacBook3,1 Mac-F22788C8.

  • Apple Hardware Test won't start from original Apple DVD

    I'll make this one short and to the point, and here're what I did to try to start the Apple Hardware Test - and failed:
    1) Disconnected all connected network and hardware except the bare essentials (Apple USB keyboard and mouse).
    2) Insert DVD#1 of the original iMac media (then OS X v10.5.2)
    3) Shut off iMac. Start, holding 'D' key (with the iMac DVD#1 in the drive)
    4) Keep holding 'D' key, AHT didn't start, instead the DVD disc ejects, and the grey screen shows folder with question mark, nothing happens thereafter.
    5) Repeated 10x, no difference.
    Somebody knows what's wrong?

    Holding down C key does start the Mac OS X installer; in which I was able to "partially" diagnose that my HDD is toast by using the Disk Utility. It formats (erases), but as soon as I finished erasing, I tried to verify the disk, and it says it already has problems and cannot be repaired.
    I am thinking if during the loading of AHT (from DVD), it tries to cache some files onto the internal hard drive. Since my drive is no good - thus the reason for my using AHT, which is to find out if I get a 4HDD/11 type error - the AHT simply cannot load under my circumstances.

  • DVD For MacBook Pro

    Hello
    I buy a Macbook pro 15".
    I loose my DVD (osx).
    I can't install osx on my macbook pro because of i don't have the installation disc.
    I try to buy another disc on apple store on reunion island, but, the DVD is only for PPC mac, not for Intel mac.
    How can i do in order to buy OSX4 installation disc for macbook pro ?

    You'll probably need to call Apple tech support for your area. They can sell you a new set of installation disks. I'm not sure what area would handle Reunion Island, but you can find a list of Apple phone numbers here, and perhaps you can find one that would seem logical. Reunion Island being, unless I'm mistaken, a French territory, you might have to call the French Apple support number.
    Good luck.

  • Apple Hardware Test Unavailable? Mac Pro 2008, Mavericks installed

    Restarting my early 2008 Mac Pro with Mavericks installed while holding down the "D" key and it's just booting up like normal. Tried holding it before it shuts down, holding it after the startup tone, and holding it after the grey screen appears (which the apple site says is wrong).
    Any suggestions?

    That will only work with the original discs that came with the computer.

  • Hardware Test Error on Macbook Pro 09

    I did a hardware test on my 2009 Macbook Pro and received an error. The error code is 4mem/4/40000000:0xaa2fe298.   has anyone encountered this before? Does this mean my hard drive is going bad?

    Hi chantal.raw,
    After reviewing your post it sounds as though your Mac is constantly rebooting. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your Mac needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

  • Where i get the DVD for macbook pro md102 application and OSX

    Dear Sir,
    I purchased macbook pro MD102 LL/a in online, but the application and OSX DVD 's not recieved. Where i can get the DVD's
    I need the DVD for boot camp using windows 7
    Regards
    Robert

    The new Macbook Pros do not come with installation or operating system disks.
    If you are using Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows in Mountain Lion, read and follow the installation instructions. Downloading the Windows support software is one of the first options in the Boot Camp Assistant memu. There is no Mountain Lion disk containing the support software.

  • Apple care protection plan for macbook pro with retina display

    hi!!! i recently purchased macbook pro with retina display. Im curious about the apple care protection plan to extend the warranty of my macbook. I would just like to ask if the apple care protection plan includes battery replacement w/in  the next 2 yrs?

    it is like car insurance. You purchase it hoping to never need it. But thank your lucky stars for having it after the sheet metal goes CRUNCH!
    BTW, AC needs to be activated while the base warranty is in effect. This means you can wait till the last month or so and avoid having to plonk all the cash up front.

  • How to find a restore dvd for MacBook Pro A1278

    I will be helping my neice with a MacBook Pro,13-inch, Mid 2010, with a failed hard drive. (She tells me that the the system does not recognize the hard drive.) I have a SATA hard drive we can use, but she can not find the original restore dvd.  How can I find a replacement?      
    Any other suggestions on how to proceed?
    Thanks.

    Phone AppleCare and order replacements. You'll need the computer's serial number and a credit card number.

  • Apple Hardware Test dvd from Tiger - use in SL?

    My Macbook Pro2,2 - 2,33 GHz was shipped with Tiger 10.4.8.
    Since then I have installed Leopard, and last night I upgraded from 10.5.8 to SL 10.6 with the retail disk version.
    Alas, I no longer have the Leopard disc, but the original Tiger Install disk 1 have the following info printed on it:
    Mav OS version 10.4.8
    AHT version 3A118
    Disk version 1.0
    2Z691-5967-A
    Now I'm wondering if I can run the AHT from this disc, on the same machine, running SL 10.6 (Build 10A432)?
    I have not updatet SL after installation.

    Hi
    It won't matter what you've installed on the internal drive. Booting from the original disks that came with your hardware will always work as the system being loaded will be the one on the optical disk, not the one on the internal drive. Upgrading the OS does not upgrade the hardware in a way that stops the original OS that shipped with that hardware from working.
    The AHT Test is not an OS in the sense you're generally used to.
    HTH?

  • Need Apple Hardware Test Software For Sept 2006 iMac

    I am aware it came with the original installation from 4 years ago. But the original installation is not available. Is this available and be downloaded from somewhere else?

    No you cannot download the AHT however you can call Apple and they can replace the installation disc for a nominal fee. That way you will have both it and the AHT for future use. Getting a replacement disc is wise because sooner or later you may need it if you plan to sell the machine or need to re-install the OS.

  • Using 02/03 PowerBook as supplementary display for MacBook Pro (original)

    A friend recently mentioned that i might be able to use my old powerbook as a supplementary display for the newest addition to my Mac family.
    can anyone tell me if this is true and if so, how to do it?
    Also, i signed up to this site before i upgraded and i have tried changing my profile to reflect the upgrade, but when i post, i still have to change the model and OS fields under the message field... Why is this so?

    Wow! this is hectic! thanks for that. but i have a follow up question, i notice it has a limited life for free. how long will the free version last? i am prepareed to pay for it, but as i am a student, cant just yet, i probably need until about December and i'll be right, will it last that long?
    also, about the 'model' and 'OS' fields? can they be updated centrally, or do i have to keep changing it every time i ask/answer a question?

  • Apple Hardware Test: Basic and Extended versions?

    Does anyone know the difference between the Basic and Extended versions of the Apple Hardware Test? My MacBook Pro's logic board has been replaced, and now the Basic AHT reports no problems, but the Extended version crashes (stops, cursor freezes) when it gets to "Testing main logic board". I know the Extended test does a more thorough test of the memory, but apparently it does something different with the logic board as well. Anyone have any idea?

    Well, thanks, that I knew, but was wondering if anyone could tell me just what "more comprehensive" consists of. Anyway, I think I've figured out at least one clue: I noticed that by the time the Extended test got to the logic board the fans were running pretty high, indicating that the computer was hot; and when I ran the Basic test right after, it crashed also. Conclusion: there is some component of the logic board that passes when cold, fails when hot. So the MacBook Pro has gone back to the repair shop, in hopes they can figure this out.
