Can't find vmdk, even if the path is right?

I wanted to rename a VMDK, so I renamed it manually. However, it is a VMDK split and I renamed it manually each piece. I am sure that each piece is aptly named. However, now merging won't let me add the VMDK to a virtual machine, so I decided to edit the vmx file a vm to force a path that him. When you start this virtual machine, I get an error saying "Unable to open path/to/vmdk/hdd.vmdk." The system cannot find the specified file. "Of course, the path is right and the file exists. Fusion just doesn't use the file.

This is obviously because of something I did with the name change. How would I go about fixing this?

I tried earlier to rename all the pieces back to their original name and merger was able to reuse the file. So I guess now the question is how you rename a VMDK?

I thought that the vmware-vdiskmanager GUI wrapper covered this case, but apparently not.  With the power off virtual machine, you can use vmware-vdiskmanager on the command line in the Terminal to rename the drive:

"/ Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmware-vdiskmanager '-n sourceName.vmdk destinationName.vmdk

Where sourceName.vmdk OS x is usually Users/your_username/Documents/Virtual Machines/.vmwarevm/vmname.vmdk

The parent of a split disk VMDK covers rename all the parts, also make sure that you do not rename the basic disk if a snapshot is SEO.  For snapshots, you can delete snapshots, and then rename the convergent base image or rename the snapshot that let first movement to the top of the chain of snapshot for the basic disk.

  • where can I find an email for the Apple Store? Carl

    Hello

    Where can I find an email for the Apple Store?

    Update was not available with this Apple ID either because it was bought by another user or the item has been refunded or cancelled. There was an error in the [[Store. I don't want to lose my money, which is more than 100 euros.

    Help, please.

    Carl

    Please test after each of the steps that you have not already tried it. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Remember, no one here is Apple or can help in problems of service the customer.

    Step 1

    If you have recently changed something in your Apple ID account (for example, the password), log out of the App Store and reconnect.

    Step 2

    A purchased app can only be updated by logging into the App Store with the same identifier Apple which was originally used to buy it. There is no way around this restriction, which applies also to the free applications. If you can not connect to help ID the buyer, remove the app and reinstall it. You will have to pay for it, once again, as appropriate.

    Step 3

    If you receive the alert when you try to update a grouped iLife application, select the shopping page in the App Store and find the application in your purchase history. If there is a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click on it.

    If you have a used Mac, bundled apps related to Apple ID of the original owner and may apply to you. Reportedly, customer service has published codes redemption to some owners of second who asked, but it is not guaranteed.

    Step 4

    If you try to update the iLife or iWork applications that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac purchased directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. If necessary, you will be asked for the part number of the DVD.

    Step 5

    In the App Store menu bar, select

    Store ▹ view my account

    Enter your Apple ID to the command prompt. In the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the reset button. Close the window.
