Test Dummy Mac OS

Posted on  by

If you think your Mac might have a hardware issue, you can use Apple Diagnostics to help determine which hardware component might be at fault. Apple Diagnostics also suggests solutions and helps you contact Apple Support for assistance.

Prepare your Mac

  1. Shut down your Mac.
  2. Disconnect all external devices except keyboard, mouse, display, Ethernet connection (if applicable), and connection to AC power.
  3. Make sure that your Mac is on a hard, flat, stable surface with good ventilation.

The test package can be run as a script to drive Python’s regression test suite, thanks to the -m option: python -m test. Under the hood, it uses test.regrtest; the call python -m test.regrtest used in previous Python versions still works.

Determine whether you're using a Mac with Apple silicon, then follow the appropriate steps:

Apple silicon

  1. Turn on your Mac and continue to press and hold the power button as your Mac starts up.
  2. Release when you see the startup options window, which includes a gear icon labeled Options.
  3. Press Command (⌘)-D on your keyboard.

Intel processor

  1. Turn on your Mac, then immediately press and hold the D key on your keyboard as your Mac starts up.
  2. Release when you see a progress bar or you're asked to choose a language.

View the test results

Apple Diagnostics shows a progress bar while it's checking your Mac:

When testing is complete, Apple Diagnostics shows the results, including one or more reference codes. Learn about Apple Diagnostics reference codes.

To repeat the test, click “Run the test again” or press Command-R.

To restart your Mac, click Restart or press R.

To shut down, click Shut Down or press S.

To get information about your service and support options, make sure that your Mac is connected to the internet, then click ”Get started” or press Command-G. Your Mac will restart to a webpage with more information. When you're done, choose Restart or Shut Down from the Apple menu.

For Beginners

Mac OS X doesn't ship with its own copy of MySQL, nor does Sequel Pro. You will have to install a copy on your local machine, or connect to the MySQL server on a machine somewhere on the Internet.

Most webservers and website packages will include a MySQL installation as part of the services they provide, and usually provide external connection details to allow you to connect to them in an external program like Sequel Pro. (See Web Hosting Providers for a list of hosting options).

There are several different ways to install MySQL on Mac OS X. We have provided links to the most common installation methods for Mac OS X.

Using the official .pkg installer

This is the fastest method for installing MySQL on your Mac, but only available for Intel processors. MySQL.com offers a standard MacOS installer package that installs the MySQL Server and several command line utilities. The download also includes a system preference pane for starting/stopping the server. You can optionally install a startup item that starts the MySQL server when your computer starts. The download weighs about 70MB.

MAMP / XAMPP on Mac OS X

MAMP and XAMPP are complete web development packages. They are designed to give developers an easy way to serve up PHP pages using Apache and MySQL right on their Mac. The two packages differ in the selection of utilities they include, but both of them include their own version of Apache, MySQL, and PHP.

These packages are installed by copying the MAMP/XAMPP folder to your applications folder. There are no hidden files and both packages are trivial to uninstall — just drag the MAMP/XAMPP folder to the trash.

MAMP includes a GUI utility for starting and stopping the servers. The utility also allows basic configuration of the servers, including the port MySQL runs on (default is 8889). There is a commercial utility (named MAMP PRO) available for more advanced options. MAMP includes PHP 4 and 5.2, and MySQL 5.1. The download is about 160MB.

XAMPP provides only a utility for starting/stopping the servers. Configuration is performed using command line utilities. XAMPP includes PHP 5.3, MySQL 5.1, and several extras like Perl and an FTP Server. XAMPP weighs in at about 90MB.

If you use one of these packages, see Connecting to MAMP or XAMPP for further instructions.

Install from Source

Test Dummy Mac OS

Installing a copy of MySQL from source is recommended for advanced users only. There are many advantages to compiling your own copy of MySQL — including speed improvements and system specific customisations (eg. for machines with little RAM). Installation from source also gives you access to cutting edge features and bugfixes before a .pkg installer is available.

You must have the Xcode Developer Tools installed. Compiling takes a very long time compared to installing binaries, but you'll only have to download about 20MB of source code.

Using MacPorts

If you want to install from source, but spare yourself the hassle of configuring the install, you can use Macports to automatically compile and install MySQL. This method works only if you have MacPorts and the XCode Developer Tools installed. The MySQL download is aproximately 20MB plus dependencies.

With MacPorts you can install the MySQL Server by typing the following command in Terminal:

Afterwards, you must run:

Stop MySQL:

Mac OS X Server comes with MySQL pre-installed. For instructions on how to enable MySQL, see Setup on Mac OS X Server.
