Error on install, CDROM not booting Kernel, unable to mount CDRM, what now?

Please help. I am new to this, so as many options as possible would be a help.
So far here are the steps I've taken to install Solaris 8 (Intel):
1. Checked HCL - I have two CD ROM's I've tried, both are on the list. (Mitsumi FX140S and Sony DVD DDU220E)
2. Set BIOS to boot CDROM - Boot failure..., I have set and changed jumpers back and forth from Master to Slave. I have moved CDROM drive from primary Slave to secondary Master and secondary Slave.
3. I have downloaded and used the Device Config Assistant boot floppy. It boots and checks devices. It also recognizes the CDROMs I have (both CDROMs are not have installed at the same time).
4. I have selected whichever CDROM I have installed as the default boot device (*) using F4_Boot Tasks. I have also adjusted timeouts from 0,1,2 and 3 seconds and have had autoboot ON/OFF.
5. I have entered F2 to continue and I receive this error:
Unable to mount a Solaris root file system from the device:
CD : (*) Target 1, MITSUMI CD-ROM FX140S !B e12 on Bus Mastering IDE controller on Board PCI bus 0, at Dev 4, Func 1
Error message from mount:
/pci@0,0/pci-ide@4,1/ide@0/sd@1,0:a: can't open - no hsfs VTOC
Press Enter to Continue.
I have inserted all 3 CD I have created with the same results from each. The CDs have the .iso extention and were created using Easy CD Creator.
Please, Please, Please, ANY suggestions!!

First off you don't need to set your CDROM as the default boot device to install Solaris, that's why we have the Solaris DCA boot diskette. And also only the Solaris Installation CD and Software 1 of 2 are bootable CDs, the software 2 of 2 is NOT.
Once you finish downloading the images from Sun's website you need to not only add the .iso extension to the ending of each image file but use the option "Burn using CD image" under the File menu in Easy CD creator.
If you try and view the burned CD under Windows you will only see a small number of the actual files that are on the CD. And NO you will not see the .vtoc file and will not be able make one yourself.
My suggestion would be to try and burn a new CD with the above instructions and boot with the Solaris DCA and continue pressing F2 until you get to the point where it asks you select where you want to boot the kernel from. At that point put with ther Installation CD or Software 1 of 2 in your drive and attempt to boot from it.
Keep us updated on your progress.

It is usually given as a communication error between Apple, iTunes (your computer), iPhone. Somewhere they are not communicating, so the iOS you are trying to install cannot be approved by Apple. Trouble shooting steps include, making sure you have Current iTunes installed, make sure your Hosts file of computer is not blocking Apple. Try restoring on another computer.

I have a fairly new mac book pro with retina display- I have not tried installing anything other OS on it. In spite of that yesterday when I turned it on, I got the error: no bootable device insert boot disk and press any key. what is the reason for this?

I swithced it on by clicking on options when I start up and then clicked on Macintosh HD. the other option was a question mark and network drive.
Is there a way to ensure it never happens again, what is the cause for this problem, if I need to uninstall some application, i am happy to do it as long as I know what is causing this conflict.
many thanks!

Something is not making sense here.
You claim this is a brand new machine and you have not tried to install Windows or Boot Camp.
Then why would you ever even go into System Preferences > Startup Disk and choose Macintosh HD? It should have automatically booted into Macintosh HD.
You're probably going to have to reinstall Mac OS X.

Error in installing applications-Not able to install any applications

Hello,
I bought Blackberry Z3 on just 3 days back,
I am not able to install any Applications. (Example: Wikipedia, News, WhatsApp.. etc)
After download complete it is always showing " Error in installing application"
If i Check inside Myworld -? Active downloads,it is showing " utf8' codec can't decode bytes.
Please let me know how to resolve this problem.
Thanks,
Yogesh S

I had the same problem what you had.
It would throw errors like, "Unable to decode...." or "Error installing the application"
I was neither able to download any applications from Blackberyy World nor sideload any android apps.
I use AirTel network.
Try removing the SIM card and install the application using Wi-Fi.
It worked for me smoothly when I did the above.

I just started receiving this error: "This accesory is not optimized for this I-Phone." What does this mean? I don't have any accessories attached. Should I be concerned?

A small amount of coffee spilled on my phone this morning. I dried it immediately, but my phone has started giving me the following error: "This accessory is not optimized for this I-Phone - You may experience noise caused by celullar interference and a decrease in cellular strength." Since then I have not been able to manually adjust my ringer volume & I can't use I-Tunes w/o my ear buds. Why is this happening & what can I do to fix this?

Clean the dock connector with a soft dry brush.

Mozilla was slow and i have reset it! Now, all my bookmarks are gone and when I try to recover it, it says not possible to process the file! WHAT NOW?

Today my Mozilla was slow and as the solution i was offered below is reset to its default settings and Mozilla would like to keep all the old data! Of course, that I did that and for a minute an unpleasant surprise!
No bookmarks, no history nor can add Bookmarks in the toolbar or the back button works (works with backspaceom) nor offers page while typing in adressbar.
I find a bunch of online tutorials recovery but nothing! Firefox is saved on the desktop folder "Firefox old data" but when I go importat says "file can not be prosecuted."
What now?
Bookmarksi are very important to me and I am now as one eye!
Now Mozilla is not remembering browsing history neither!
OS is W7 Pro 64
Comp is HP8710w
Thank you!

Hello,
Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.
#Use one of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
#*Click the ''[[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar|Firefox button]]'' to open the menu and click on ''Bookmarks''.
#*Click the ''Bookmarks'' menu and click on ''Show All Bookmarks''.
# At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
# Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
# In the new window that appears, click OK.
# Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.
For more information, see the [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] article. For other solutions, see the [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]] article.

This is how we resolved it. Used a 32GB Flash Drive formatted the drive HFS+ and then copied the PKG folder and files and then brought them to the target Mac and copied the files over and ran the PKG and Exceptions install. Everything seems to be installing fine now.

Recovery Disk Install will not boot ends with \Boot|BCD error

Hi
I have a Compaq Presario CQ56-219WM with Win7 64bit
The OS needed to be reloaded but the F11 recovery option was not working so I purchased the Factory Recovery DVD's from HP.
When I go through the install procedure with the factory DVD's the sytem is disk is reformatted and programs loaded but the system refuses to boot... it always ends with an error message say that it can not read \BOOT\BCD
I found a genuine Win7 pro DVD from another system and tried to run the repair options but that did not change the error
It seems that the factory recovery disk really don't work in all cases. Can anyone help with this?
Thank you

Error in upgrade will not boot up

Clicked to install updates. Went through the process, then window popped up saying there was an error and to restart. Ever since cannot boot the computer up. Using command-R takes me to "choose", but my wifi is not there and when I input it and the password, circle just spins and spins and never does anything else.

Hi MelonieM,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your MacBook Air does not start up to Mac OS X, I recommend first resetting the NVRAM / PRAM by following these instructions:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
You can find these steps and more information here:
About NVRAM and PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
If your computer still does not start up, try booting to safe mode next:
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Start your Mac, then immediately hold the Shift key. This performs a Safe Boot.
Advanced tip: If you want to see the status of a Safe Boot as it progresses, you can hold Shift-Command-V during start up (instead of just Shift).
Note: A Safe Boot takes longer than a typical start up because it includes a disk check and other operations.
If your Mac starts up as expected, immediately try restarting.
More information about safe boot can be found here:

Windows 7 install disk not booting

Im trying to instal Windows 7 on my Mac Pro dual core 2.66. Model MacPro1,1. Mac os is 10.6.8. Boot Camp 3.0.4
After running BCA, I click to start the install, the computer reboots, and 1 of 3 screens shows up.
I eather get a gray screen and after about a minute the disk ejects.
or
I get a black screen that says,
     "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key" and again the disk ejects
or
I get a black screen that says,
          1.
          2.
     Select CD-ROM Boot Type : _
Any ideas?
and yes it is a lagit copy of Windows 7, I just bought it from Best Buy and cost me $200 for the full version.

I suggest you take your computer to a repair shop for some hardware diagnostics. It impossible to tell you exactly what failed. It could be a component on the motherboard; it could be a failure in the system memory; there are just too many
possibilities to speculate what happened.
