Sources for G3 Ibook Hardware test and Installation Disks

Greetings All!
Subject says it all. I bought my 14" 900mHz G3 iBook with insurance off eBay last Feb and it's been working just great (just know how to handle it like a baby!). Since it came without the Hardware test and installation CDs in case of emergency, what source options do I have?
Thanks!

You may want to try _calling Apple_ to see if they have the CD's available. If they do, they will send them to you (for a fee).

Hardware Test and Hard Disk error

I was happy with my iBook, it repairs when it freeze and never has a virus,etc... but the last week someone mail me a huevocartoon (a video) in a mail and when I discharge to my computer it began to make some "pi" sounds and froze it! then it tried to unfroze and then again that "pi" sounds, so I need to restart, but then again that "pi". Today, reading the manual, and after a virus scan, I tried the Hardware Test and I found an error: 2STF/8/3: ATA -100 ata -6-Master.
I suposse it's the hard disk, but I don't know what to do!!! Does my computer will die? (I mean, I need to backup all my data? and all the stuff?) Please help!!!

Open disk utility in the utilities folder, and check the SMART status of your hard drive. It should be say verified, if it does not your hard drive will fail soon.

Need 900mHz G3 iBook Hardware Test CD/Program

Greetings:
I'm coming up empty with my written requests to Apple and search on eBay for a 900mHz G3 iBook Hardware Test CD which didn't come with my eBay purchased iBook. Can anyone point me to any sources for one? I hope being a pre-owned Mac user doesn't make you any less an "legit" Mac user in Apple's eye. Be much appreciative!
James Greenidge

I would suggest that you _call Apple_ and ask for Legacy Hardware Support. Give them your serial number and ask if they have the system CD's that originally came with the iBook and, if so, how much they will charge to send them to you.
Good luck.

My Mac is doing strange things: delaying between users, mouse flickering and bouncing, gets stuck with rainbow wheel flickering. I ran the appel hardware test and it detected an error: 4MOT/4/40000003:HDD-1233 Does anybody know what that means? HELP!

My imac is doing strange things:
-delaying between users: when closing session it goes to blue, then takes a while to appear users signin box, and then wont recognize mouse command to enter until a couple of minutes later... then everything seems alright until....
-it gets stuck between things, the rainbow wheel appears and its just delays there forever....
-and every now and then the mouse starts flickering and bouncing wildly onscreen.

WZZZ answered about where to get iStat. And do check the SMART status. If it is an overheating problem due to a fan or logic board problem, your hard drive is possibly cooking itself to death. If so it isn't a faulty hard drive even though the hard drive might fail. So assuming it's a temperature problem, even if you are able to repair things on the disk with software, that is working on symptoms, not causes. I could be wrong however.
RE: AppleCare: Your iMac came with one year of AppleCare (Apple's warranty program), but within the first year you can buy 2 more years. You have to extend by the one year anniversary of purchase of the computer. Your 10,1 is too old to still be in the first year, and since you asked what it was, I'm sure you don't have it. Bottom line meaning is that whatever this problem turns out to be, you'll have to pay for it. Unless there is something like this. It is for 2011 iMacs with certain Seagate drives. You can put in your serial number for fun, but it looks like yours is too old. Lastly, some people have had Apple help them anyway if it is just out of warranty, but many have not. Your machine is one of these. Type in 10,1 in the search box. Is there an Apple Store near you? Just b/c it's out of warranty doesn't mean you shouldn't have it looked at by Apple. But no one here can say at all what Apple will or will not do.
Hope you get it taken care of!

Hi guys,
I have a similar problem, the numbers at the end of the error code change a bit, when i do the apple hardware test again ( I have an imac of early 2008, 2,66 GH). I have 2 GB Ram now, after one week ago one of the 2GB-Ram sticks "died") In fact, it was working quite much, then suddenly (i bought imac in june 2009) the ram stick was broken. The apple-support center told me its probably not a problem, but did not tell me what the error code means. I have apple-care for 3 years, its a luck i did it, so they will take it and check carefully, but just after i insisted on the error. It seems they do not want to tell u what that could be....
Do u guys think the ram-stick was broken because the imac was too hot???

Mac hardware test and what this means

My Imac started to freeze, I tried to reinstall tiger but the install just hung. So I decided to run the hardware test and this is the error message:
4MDT/1/40000003:HDD
Does anyone know what that means or what piece of hardware is being problematic?

Can you go in OS and run disk utility ? According from your encounter that Symptom is because due to HDD crash. you are require to send to service provider for HDD replacement. If can backup all your important data before send in.

I own an IMAC G5. It is running very slow. Did hardware test and it came up with error code 2STF/8/3:S-ATABUSO-Master. What do I need to do next? Thanks in Advance. Stuart

I own an Imac G5. It is running very slow. Did hardware test and got an error code 2STF/8/3:S-ATABUSO-Master. What is my next step?
Also how do i run disk first aid on the computer off of the install disks? Which disk do i do it from. Thanks in advance. Stuart

Sounds like your hard drive it about to die.
I would backup ASAP.
To run First Aid on your disk, you need to boot from the install DVD for your Mac.
After selecting the language, open Disk Utiltity and repair the disk.
If it reports errors that DU is unable to repair, report them here and we will provide additional help.

HT201257 I just bought an imac in september 2012. And i just find out that my microphone is not working. So i did an apple hardware test and with no problems found? I have sound but no one can hear me, not even the computer. Should i bring it back to

I just bought an imac in september 2012. And i just find out that my microphone is not working. So i did an apple hardware test and with no problems found? I have sound but no one can hear me, not even the computer. Should i bring it back to the store

Before you go through that trouble open About this Mac > More Info... > System Report > Audio and see if the system actually knows it has a microphone. Then you can look into Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup and see if the microphone is there, select it and make sure the sliders are set to full. Then in System Preferences look for Sound > Input and make sure it shows up there and the sliders are at least half way up. If none of that works do a
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.
then go through the process of looking for the microphone again as the reset may reenable the mic.

I run a hardware test and it gave me the error code 4mot/4/40000003:HDD-1500: does anyone know what it means?

Hello,
I have a problem of my iMac freezing up regularly for no obvious reason.
So I ran a hardware test and it returns me only with the code 4MOT/4/40000003:HDD-1500.
I need some help to know what that means and how to repair my iMac.
William

William, unfortunately it means your hard disk drive has or is failing and needs to be replaced. Hopefully you have a current backup or clone. You can have the drive replaced at an Apple Store or AASP or do it yourself if you're inclined by following the guide fir your specific iMac at http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Mac_Desktop

Got a Screen named hardware teste and a error msg

I was playing World of Warcraft,
i went to sleep, turned the MBP off,
when i woke up, i turned it on, a diffrent screen apeare named "Hardware Test"
and give me an error MSG:
4SNS/1/40000000:TGOD-86.500
what that means?
what should i do ?

Call applecare or take it into an apple store. I got the same error message once, but without the 86.500 part, and ended up having to get my logic board replaced. Only those at apple know exactly what the error codes stand for though, so best to get in contact with them, and I would back up any important data just in case.

Freezing in OSX and in hardware test and in windows...

I called Apple today, after waiting for half an hour a guy told me that there is no known trouble with the iMacs freezing. How can they deny this issue?
Anyway he made me run a hardware test and the computer is freezing while even doing that.
Additionally my Windows Vista partition is now freezing as well.
What to do?

I don't understand "Additionally my Windows Vista partition is now freezing as well."
Do you mean Windows Vista freezes as well, or you can no longer boot to Vista from Bootcamp?

I ran a hardware test and this was my error

I ran a hardware test and this was my error#4MEM/40/40000006:B:1 C:0 R:1 - what does it mean?

Sure, your Mac Pro's memory is installed on two cards that you can remove, and subsequently inspect or remove the RAM. Read here to determine where it is and what to do:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4433
If you're lucky, merely removing and reinstalling the memory modules may clear the fault. If not, it is possible one or more of the DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Modules) has failed or is no longer meeting the Mac Pro's requirements.
Memory is not difficult to install and is not terribly expensive. Most vendors have a lifetime guarantee.

Is there a download for the Apple Hardware test 3A126?

Is there a download for the Apple Hardware test 3A126? I get a gray screen for several minutes until start up, Tried holding down the "D" key but no test, there is a disc stuck in the superdrive so I can't use the install DVD.

You can only run the Apple Hardware Test from the correct Disc that came with your system. see > Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test
Have you tried the following > The ultimate guide to ejecting a stuck disc
or > Eject a stuck disk from your Mac DVD super drive to get the stuck disc out?

Master data datasource for the point of delivery and installation.

Hi,
Can any one help me with the Master data datasource for the point of delivery and installation.
Currently i am using ouc_instfacts for installation facts.
With Thanks& Regards,
Shakthi.

Hi Shakti,
I guess you are asking for assignment of installation to POD (table euiinstln)?
Then you should check 0UC_PODINST_ATTR.
Best regards
Harald
