iMac 11,1 hardware test has different version than MacTracker

simX opened this issue 6 years ago · comments

I don’t know if this is an actual issue per se. I have an iMac 11,1 and the only AHT link you have is the third-party bundle hosted on macforum.ro.

That one successfully boots up my iMac, but the version number is 3A178. MacTracker says the version should be 3A202. My applications DVD says the version should be 3A190.

Does this matter? Do you know why there are version number discrepancies? Would you like to add the official AHT from the applications DVD to the repository here?

Hi simX,

I'm having the same problem with my iMac 11,1-F2268DAE.

I was wondering if you can help me out with this issue, since it seems you have the same iMac.
I'm going crazy looking for this and no luck.

I'm not a tech-savvy and I want to create the AHT for this iMac. Can you help me out?

Thanks in advance.

Hi RadSon78 -- As I mentioned, the AHT link for the iMac 11,1 seems to work for me, even though it's not the original AHT that came with my iMac. So I don't think there's really a problem here, you can simply install that version on a bootable USB stick as per the instructions.
