Solaris Installed but wont boot

Compaq Deskpro 266
This is a straigt forward machine, no whacky install or hardware.
3 Gig HD
Whole harddrive has been allocted for sun.
The installation goes like a charm, I reboot the machine and pull the cd.
It autoboots to the correct partition (I selected nothing and let is select). Then it seems to hang after that (blank screen with a blinking cursor in the top left).

Is there an option in the BIOS to disable "USB interrupts"?
Even if you have no USB peripherals connected, make sure
to enable such an option (USB IRQ: Enabled) in the BIOS.
Upto MU3 this setting didn't matter, but the latest
USB patch - which is part of the MU4 update (Solaris 8
4/2001) - hangs if the kernel sees the USB hardware but
the hardware's IRQ is not working.

OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.

I reinstalled osx 10.8.2 from recovery disk, now verify disk says my hard drive is there but wont boot into it regardless which partition i select to boot into , everytime it boots me into the recovery, i need help!

Mb pro running like garbage with 10.8.2 tried a reinstall of osx from recovery utility now the utility says my hard drive is ok but wont boot into it keeps booting me back into recovery tried restart option to select disk tried using the select startup disk from recovery, gives a message asking if i really want to boot to it and in that message is the only rime it shows a question mark on the drive dont know what to do cant find similar issue

Your rushing and not making much sense.
Your machine was running like garbage, so you tried to reinstall 10.8---did you do this or not?
Disk Utility says your drive is ok, that's good.
But when you boot it keeps booting Recovery HD, so perhaps the firmware has made a mistake, it can forget.
You held the option key down to boot into Startup Manager, why didn't you select OS X for the boot volume?
When you get into OS X you change the Startup Disk in System Preferences, that should take care of the Flashing Question mark issue.
attemtping to ireinstall osx from recovery partition bar is full on install screen, but im now at -6hours remaining
So now your reinstalling OS X like you set out to do before, it does take some time as it has to download from Apple's servers.
If your Internet connection is slow and/or Wifi is slow then it will take awhile.
So you should have the Flashing Question Mark and Reinstall Only OS X covered.
You should be able to boot the machine, but your performance issues may be something else and still remain.
Why is my computer slow?

If the reset doesn't work, force the iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

Try to boot in Safe mode, see if you are able: Hold down shift and then power on. For wireless keyboards, hold down shift after the chime.

Have installed but wont work, any ideas?

Have Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 9, the 32 bit version. Have installed Flash Player, uninstall, restarted my laptop and installed again but can't get it to work. It shows up as being installed but when ever I try to view anything that uses Flash Player I'm prompted to install it.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest flash player about four times, checked all the solutions I could find and set up IE as indicated on this thread, have been informed by adobe that flash player is installed and whenever I go to a website that would use it, it doesn't work. I am usually informed I should install it.
The check regarding the spinning red symbol did not give me the required picture (not sure what I should have seen but nothing was spinning)
The files in the suggested macromed file are:
Flash10u.ocx
FlashInstall
FlashUtil10u.activeX.dll
FlashUtil10u.activeX
Install
Any other suggestions?

Tiger 4.6 won't install - keeps restarting but wont boot from the dvd

hello,
I purchased a brand new Tiger 4.6 retail directly from apple.com to install on my second computer, which is an imac that meets the system requirements. I am having exactly the same issue - i load the dvd, and the window opens and i double click on the installer. This prompts me to restart by clicking the button in the window, which I did. Then the computer restarts but the installer does not run. When i click on the installer it gives me the same restart window. I have tried holding the C button during reboot, and i have tried changing the boot drive through system preferences as well, but this does not work either.
Can someone PLEASE offer information that will help me to install this OS?
thanks
[email protected]

I went back to look because I wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy and was clear on what I saw before, and why it was unclear and ambiguous.This is the page with the complete sys requirements(the photos wont display here, but there is a photo of my model of imac, under the "imac" category):

Make sure your hardware can run Mac OS X Version 10.4 Tiger
Mac OS X Version 10.4 requires a Macintosh with:
* PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
* Built-in FireWire
* At least 256MB of physical RAM
* A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
* At least 3.0 GB of available space on your hard drive; 4GB of disk space if you install XCode 2 developer tools
* DVD drive for installation (get CD media for $9.95)
Note: Mac OS X does not support processor upgrade cards. The amount of disk space required depends on your computer and the way you are installing Mac OS X. (this would have been the place to include the text about not supporting the imac 350)
Verify your hardware is supported from the list below.

Hard Disk verifies OK but wont boot. Can't re-install or erase.

I have a problem with my Powerbook (Tibook) G4 667.
It won’t boot. After the initial grey screen, it gets as far as a completely blue screen and eventually resorts to the Darwin console (?).
I'm running OS X 10.4.? (sorry - can’t remember when I last updated this machine). The 40 Gb internal drive is partitioned: HDA (start-up disk) 35 GB; HDB 2.5 Gb; HDC 2.5Gb.
This is the ‘family’ computer and is shared by five users for internet and general use.
I don’t use this machine often as I also have a 17” G4 1.5 (Alubook) running 10.4.7.
When I was told that it was behaving oddly I managed to save the ‘Users’ folder onto an external FW drive.
I can access the drive from my Alubook connected to the sick Tibook in FW target mode, although the Tibook HDA (the start-up partition) takes ages to show up on the Alubook desktop.
I have run Disk Utility from both the Tiger installation DVD and via FW from the Alubook and each time all partitions verify OK. I’ve run repair as well and this also gives an OK verdict.
As I now have copies of the data on the drive I have tried reinstalling the system from the Tiger DVD but the drive does not appear as a destination for installation (it doesn’t appaear at all, just the DVD and Network options are visible). I have tried to erase the drive but I get an ‘I/O error’ message when attempting to erase from the DVD disk utility and a ‘Can’t unmount disk’ error when attempting via FW from the Alubook.
I’ve tried everything along the lines of ‘fsck’ etc. as advised by Apple at the link below
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Everything checks out ‘OK’ though I did get a line mentioning I/O error on one ‘fsck’ cycle but it still reported everything as being OK.
It may well be that the drive is dead, but all the tests keep telling me it is alive.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks very much.
Phil

Hi Phil,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It sounds like while booted from the Tiger install disc, DU can see the HD to run Repair Disk (which returns an "ok" message), but the installer cannot see the HD to do an installation? As arnie has said, it could be the HD, but could also be other hardware such as the logic board, RAM, or a cable.
Any chance the external FW HD you mention is a 2.5"/portable? If so, I would install it in the PB, boot from the Tiger install disc, and see if the installer will recognize it as an installation destination (make sure you don't go beyond that step or you will be installing the OS over the data you have saved on the HD). If it is recognized, looks like time to purchase a new HD. If not, time to start looking at other components.

Solaris 8 installs but wont boot

I am trying to install Solaris 8 on a Compaq Proliant DL360 i am using software cd 1 to do the install, downloaded the raid array drivers for Solaris and the install seems to go fine with no errors. The problem is when it reboots it goes the the screen where you choose which partition to boot from. the choices are:
1 diagnostics(compaq utilities)
2 x86boot active
3 Solaris
when you choose "2" it just boots to the setup screen like i was booting from the CD. If you choose "3" it switches to a screen that says 'booting selected partition' and it says at the bottom of the screen, "BAD PBR SIG" What am i doing wrong?

Hmm, you're using the raid array driver diskettes from compaq.
At the end of the installation (copying stuff from the
software 1 of 2 cdrom), did it copy the compaq
array drivers from the diskette to the fresh solaris
installation; before it rebooted?
Otherwise, your system seems to crash with a kernel
panic. The strange thing is that the install kernel booted
from the software 1 of 2 cd together with the raid drivers
from the compaq itu diskette had no problems installing
the OS to the scsi raid array.
Can you post more details about the crash / kernel panic?
If the system automatically reboots before you can take
some notes about the kernel panic, try to give the
command "b kadb -v" at the "(b) boot or (i) interpreter ..."
prompt.
What's the size of the raid array?
What happens it you boot from the DCA floppy, add the scsi
raid drivers from the compaq itu floppy and boot from the
software 1 of 2 cdrom. After the GUI starts, try to
open a shelltool/commandtool window (right click on the
desktop background). From the commandtool window you
can try to fsck / mount the scsi raid array. Does that
work?

Power Mac Boots to old hard drive but wont boot to install cd, Kernal

Just bought a power mac g5. The machien will start up to the install of 10.5 that the orginal owner has but will not boot into the install cd of 10.4, or 10.5. I tried reseating the ram and removing some with no help. I also tried booting from firewire and usb but the machine will not recogonize either of these when i hold down "option".....when i go to try and boot from the cd it will pop up with the string of Kernal information and tell me to reboot. but then if i take the cd out it will boot into the orginal OSX just fine...

Hello,
What are the 2z691-****-A numbers on the 10.4 & 10.5 Discs?
Are they gray machine specific discs, or the Retail versions?

10.5.5 Installed but not boot camp utility found

Hey Everyone,
So I am a college student, also a MBP owner, who works at my school's "Help Desk." I had someone come in the other day with a MacBook Pro 2.16 Ghz Core Duo processor, so it must have come with 10.4 I think (Correct me if I'm wrong, please), but the machine had 10.5. She was looking to have boot camp set up except when I went to run the utility it certainly was not on there.
From there I tried running updates to see if that might update it or something and still nothing.
So basically, I am just wondering how I might go about putting boot camp on there. Would 10.5 have to be reinstalled entirely? Or is there an independent installer that could be an option?
I'd appreciate any help that I get.
Thank you,
Smerky

Perform a custom install from the Mac OS X 10.5 disks and install only that component if possible; if not, use Pacifist to install it. In either case, rerun the combo updater for your Mac OS X version afterwards.

CS3 programs installed but wont open.

Most of my cs3 programs wont open. I am running Windows Vista and have the Adobe CS3 master collection.
It appears as though Bridge is the only one that will open. Photoshop for example, will open the grey background with "file" "tools" etc. but will not go any further.
I have a new HP Pavilion dv5 with 2Ghz core duo, and 2GB ram.
Any help will be appreciated.

Help me too!!! I'm having exactly the same problem!!!
I had CS3 installed on my old computer running XP and everything worked fine. Then the motherboard (or something) on that computer fried so I bought a new one that has Vista Home Premium.
I've tried everything I can think of. I loaded it, the repaired it, then uninstalled it and reinstalled it in the "Program Files" directory (before it had been loaded in the "Program Files (x86)" directory) and repaired it in that directory.
I've tried opening every one of the programs, all except Photoshop end up doing nothing. When I look under Task Manager, there is nothing going on the "Applications" tab. But under the "Processes" tab, I see the exe file is loaded and going.
The main program I'm trying to use is AfterEffects - I tried to open it earlier so right now in "Processes" the pogram "AfterFX.exe *32" is loading and running but it's not working!!
It's driving me NUTS! I really have ton of work to do and I'm wayyy behind as it is with the stupid computer croaking. Now I can't even try to catch up because I can't open the program!
