Apple's Diagnostic Icon Identifications

Mac, iPod and iPhone diagnostic icons are very pretty and look very stylish but I have been unable to locate anyplace that will tell me what they are and what they represent. I even called Apple and tried to pay for an answer and got nothing. Can anyone direct me to a dictionary of these icons or is it just some guessing game for them to know and us to find out?

Is this a good question?

+1 for a really difficult question to find the answer to. Ralph

I was hoping someone would know because I can't find anything. So Apple uses diagnostic icons and won't tell people what they mean. That kind of rubs me the wrong way.

regarding iPod diagnostics, are you talking about these icons? (also look at the link at the very bottom of that page)

Here is a link to some info on the Mac icons

Intel-based Mac: Startup sequence and error codes, symbols

I'll see what else I can dig up later.
