Hi All!
Would any wonderful bod please help? Im tearing my hair out
I've been trying to restore the Apple Hardware Test diagnostics tool on my 11" MacBook Air (2012 A1465) - based on various posts Ive read which say this achievable.
Ive mounted the Github download “AHTEFour” folder to Disk Utility and typed (in Terminal)
cp -R /Volumes/AHTEFour/System/Library/CoreServices/.diagnostics \ /Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/CoreServices/
I get this back:
usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvXc] source_file target_file
cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvXc] source_file ... target_directory
I don't know what any of this means, but I don't see the folder appear in the destination.
What am I doing wrong please? I can send the link I am using as guidance, if thats ok with the forum rules.
I am using Catalina 10.15.7 and think perhaps doing a clean install is what has wiped the original diagnostics folder. When i try to use the D key on start up, it starts internet recovery, makes me connect to my WiFI, and then says cannot load EFI/Drivers/TestSupport.Efi so possibly I am way off base with what I am doing. A Gal’s gotta give it go 💩
