Can't boot Solaris 11.1 from burned DVD in a Mac

Hello,
The goal is to install Solaris 11.1 in a Sun Sparc T5120.
Downloaded the Solaris for Sparc 11.1 Text install iso image and then burned it to a DVD-R in a Mac using the Disk Utility. The DVD mounts OK in the Mac but when trying to boot from it I in the Sparc system I get this:
{0} ok show-disks

Any ideas? Should I try burning the DVD again in a different system?

Tried with a CD and another DVD burned in a windows laptop, same result...

  • Can't boot my Powerbook G4 from a DVD

    I am going to give my Powerbook G4 to a friend, so I thought I would wipe the drive and reinstall to OS. I was running 10.39. I started zeroing the drive and it locked. It finally quit booting from the DVD, so I connected it to my MacPro Intel with firewire and initialized the hard drive.
    I reset the Pram several times and have tried to boot from the 3.9 DVD with C and option keys, neither will boot up from the DVD. The option key gives me 2 folders, 3/4 circle arrow and straight arrow. Clicking them doesn't get me anywhere.
    I tried to load the OS from my MacPro but it won't let me, since I have 10.5 loaded on it.
    Any ideas?

    MaplegroveBob,
    The flashing question mark folder means that the computer can not find a valid system folder to boot to.
    What does it say "exactly" on the cd or dvd that you are trying to boot to? It should have an OS version # and say if it is a cd or dvd disk. Is this the original install disk for the PowerBook or a full retail install disk for 10.3.x Panther?
    What happens when you reboot holding the "x" key down (without the disk you are trying to use in the drive)? edit: Strike that, as you said you wiped the drive so there won't be a system to bootup to. If the disks are the correct original install or a full retail install disk for 10.3 and it does not boot then either the drive is damaged or the disk your using is damaged I would imagine.

  • How can I migrate an Aperture library from an external HDD with Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) format?

    How can I migrate an Aperture library from an external HDD with Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) format?
    I used to store my pictures on an external hard drive using the latest version of Aperture. Now I tried migrating my Aperture library to Photos. However, after a short moment an error message popped up telling me that "Photos was unable to make a copy of your library before preparing it. Photos does not have the necessary permissions...".
    My external HDD doesn't need any permission repairs nor is the system prohibited to read from or write to it.
    Thanks for any advice in advance!

    My guess is that the encryption is the problem for the new app.

  • Can anyone help me sync calendars from my iPhone to my Mac and help me figure out how to edit or delete lists in Reminders?

    Can anyone help me sync calendars from my iPhone to my Mac and help me figure out how to edit or delete lists in Reminders?  I thought upgrading to Mountain Lion would work, but I'm having the same problem as before under Snow Leopard.  So, here's my situation. 
    I'm running 10.8.2 on a Macbook Pro.  I have a 3GS iPhone running 6.0.1.  I can make entries on my Mac Calendar and they will show up on my iPhone, but if I make an entry on my iPhone, it never makes it to my Mac.  Also, I notice that when I log in to my iCloud account on my Mac, it has a "me.com" email address as my apple i.d., but it is not my primary account i.d. and I can't figure out how to delete it.  Also, my Reminders application won't allow me to delete lists I created.  Contacts, on the other hand, work instantaneously regardless of where the change is initiated.

    On you iPhone check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the calendars section).  Here be sure you have selected the Calendar listed under your iCloud account ID as your default.  If you haven't, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.
    You should be able to delete you reminders list by, from the Lists view, tapping Edit at the top, then tapping next to the list you want to delete and tapping Delete.

    Your Mac would need to be running OS X Maveriks (10.9) and you would have to have iPhoto '11 (9.4) or Aperture 3.4 in order to see shared videos.

    How can I move my photo albums from mini ipad to Apple Mac.  I don't want photo roll

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    iPhoto for IOS and for the Mac share only a name at this time - not a data structure - unfortunately you can not currently do what you want even though it makes a lot of sense
