alebowgm May 9th, 2012, 10:08 AM Ok. So I want to run an Apple Hardware Test because I want to use the diagnostic tool to check my battery. I was going to follow the instructions from Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509) However, does running this test put me out? I heard it links up with Apple. macintosh doctor May 9th, 2012, 10:25 AM explain put you out? it boots in a firmware mode.. so it is not connected to the internet.. not sure if that help... but please explain what you mean ? John Clay May 9th, 2012, 11:08 AM explain put you out? it boots in a firmware mode.. so it is not connected to the internet.. not sure if that help... but please explain what you mean ? Firmware now supports networking, which is how you can use the AHT over the internet with Lion. macintosh doctor May 9th, 2012, 04:16 PM In the old versions it didn't, but that said just don't connect to the net and your fine alebowgm May 9th, 2012, 06:21 PM When you run the test does it send information to Apple? jamesB May 9th, 2012, 06:34 PM However, does running this test put me out? I heard it links up with Apple. Only after running it 3 times. (3 strikes and you're out) alebowgm May 9th, 2012, 06:47 PM So what your saying is I shouldn't just run it for the sake of running it? macintosh doctor May 9th, 2012, 08:47 PM So what your saying is I shouldn't just run it for the sake of running it? JUST DO IT! - whats is the worst that can happen? you find out your machine is pooched or not.. I not sure what heck are you trying to hide? is it stolen? | |
