After 26 months of TRYING to load Sun 10 = delete SUN? help please

reguards to, "sol-10-u3-ga-sparc-v1-iso.zip" (1 thru 5)
I downloaded the 5 files of "Sun 10", 26 months ago and so far, after many dozens of different try's, I have yet to get this OS working.
I've redownloaded in case it was a bad file. __NOT
Properly unzip't and I've burned well over a couple dozen ISO's disks & made sure that were in the proper file system, i QUANTUMed RECHECKed this, __NOT
I have at my disposal 3 PCs, 2 desktops 1 laptop all the same OS, Windows XP, NOT... BUT WAIT! It wants to load on the laptop, it starts, it gets to (i can only guess) 3/4 done & reboots. MAYBE this time, __NOT
OK, I downloaded a basic Linux OS. It installs NO PROBLEM. While I'm at it I'll retry loading "Sun 10" thinking the hard drive is formatted for non-Windows... __NOT (aww cheeeze)
Now what to try/look for... I downloaded other Sun software (see below) and burned to CD and DVD. __ NOT (YeeeGads)
I have 3 different HDD's. Laptop-Western Digital, desktops I have, 3 different Maxtors 40-120-320gb, and other desktop a WD 30gb.
My question: What is the reason for making software that JUST does not load?
I'm 99% convinced this is "unable to load" is the major reason Sun is not on more PC desktops.
Got any ideas? Is there any SPECIAL bootfloppy(s)?
FRUSTRATED to no end:
FM ([email protected])
My other recient attempts:
sol-10-u4-ga-x86-v1.iso
sol-10-u4-ga-x86-dvd.exe
sol-10-u4-ga-x86-dvd.iso

Here are the files I downloaded and tried to install.
sol-10-u3-ga-sparc-v1-iso.zip (1-5)
sol-10-u4-ga-x86-v1.exe (1-5)
sol-10-u4-ga-x86-dvd.exe
sol-10-u4-ga-x86-dvd.iso
sol-10-u6-ga1-x86-dvd.iso
sol-nv-b110-x86-dvd.iso
As you can see I did try both versions, SPARC & x86.
First, I'm not a PC guru, just your ordinary PC buyer/user who understands little about it's inner workings in reguards to software. Basicly my system really should not make a difference in reguards to "Bits & Bytes". In my view, as is the majority of the general public, the software should make adjustments to the PC's inner workings when loading.
Sun Hardware Compatibility List? With this in mind it's probably the greatest reason people want Windows. So far, as do I, Windows works Solaris won't. As far as I know all my PC's are generic desktops and laptop. Basicly if Windows can install, so should any other OS designed for desktops.
It's ludicris to think we, the general public, have to learn "Command Prompts" to load any OS. It's not the dark ages of pre-1984 anymore.
So anyways, I'm currently downloading "osol-0811.iso". From my past experiance I have little hopes it'll install... BUT try I will.
THANKS for the info:

    1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
    2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
    Is your iPad working?

    Open the folder containing your catalog. In that folder you will find another folder with the extension .lrdata, and you need to delete that folder. After you do that, Lightroom should start normally and will create a new preview cache.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    I have a similar problem. I am writing a program to read the class names from database and instantiate several classes which extends from ServiceThread (an abstract class extending from Thread).
    rs = pStmt.executeQuery();
    while(rs.next()) {
    String threadclassname = rs.getString("classname").trim();
    try{
    ServiceThread threadinstance = (ServiceThread)Class.forName(threadclassname).newInstance();
    }catch ...
    So far, only the first class is ever instantiated and runs fine. But subsequent classes do not even get pass the "... ... Class.forName(...).newInstance();" line.
    Funny thing is that there are also no exceptions. The JVM just seem to hang there.

  • Bluetooth connection to Audi A4 still drops after 2 months of trying everyt

    I have a 2007 Audi A4 and paired my iPhone to it. The Phonebook transfered over and it works for the most part. However 9 times out of 10 the Bluetooth connection drops about 5 minutes into driving. It then picks up the connection a minute or so later. I do have it connected to a charger (which reduced the problem a bit).
    I really don't want to buy a Bluetooth headset since I already have what is a perfectly working (and expensive) car system that paired fine with 2 other phones (Sony Ericsson T616, Motorola SLVR).
    I'm becoming increasing frustrated, especially after a near accident when I had to pick up the handset and lower the stereo during a recent dropped Bluetooth connection.
    The iPhone is brilliant, but this dangerous glitch is a deal breaker for me. I'm now seriously considering a Blackberry instead.
    I tried everything over the past 2+ months including:
    - Bought and used 2 different iPhone car adapters
    - Installed all iPhone updates
    - Turned off auto locking
    - Kept the iPhone on the Phone screens (Contacts, Recents, etc.)
    - Turned off WiFi
    - Disabled Bluetooth until just before pairing
    - Restarted my iPhone prior to pairing
    - Restored my iPhone prior to pairing
    - Factory reset prior to pairing
    Interestingly the pairing worked for the first day after each of the past 2 iPhone updates, but the problem came back on day 2. That's why I performed restores and resets (which didn't work).
    Any thoughts?

    I have a 2006 A8 and had similar problems until I loaded the last iPhone update; Bluetooth is now rock-solid. Check with your dealer and make sure your car has the latest Audi updates. On my car, Bluetooth settings have a delay setting. Make sure that is turned on.
