Cannot move files between Mac and Windows

I'm Fusion 8.1.1 and OS X 10.11.5. I can no longer move files back and forth between Mac and Windows (7 x 32 or 7 x 34) while in a single window. In addition, the unit is not available (grayed out). I did a Windows Update for virtual machines two days ago and also a recent update of OS X 10.11.4 to 10.11.5 so I don't know if that's the problem. Everything seems to work another Mac running Fusion 8.0.2 OS x 10.11.5. Do not remember if I've recently updated Windows because the dates are meaningless to me.

Advice as to why it happens? In the meantime, I'll try to recover a backup of virtual machine before my recent Windows upgrade.

The fixed! I reinstalled VMware Tools on the W7x32 and W7x64 VMs and found unity and two-way drag and drop. I do not uninstall, just ran Virtual Machine > install VMware Tools in the menu bar. There was no option to reinstall VMware Tools, so I guess that the corrupted Windows VMware Tools update that was there before the update of Windows.

    Otherwise, at least upgrade your VMware Workstation to version 7.0.1

  • Strategy for sharing media between Mac and Windows Premiere Pro

    I hope that I write in the right forum, it's here or in the hardware forum.

    I'll take the plunge and get a pretty high-end PC to increase my aging Mac Pro for Premiere Pro CS 5.5 (and probably 6 CS as soon as the kinks are developed). Right now my online media resides on several trendy readers fast eSATA RAID 5, on my Mac Pro through some eSATA PCI cards. It works well and I have pretty good bandwidth of 200MBS to 250MBS using this method, I think enough speed for the type of media that I use in my changes, a combination of XDCAM EX, AVCHD, H.264 Canon with maybe 4-5 rivers both in Multicam edits.

    Adding from my PC to the combination will complicate things. I want to be able to access the media on my eSATA drives, which are currently formatted for Mac, using filesystem HFS +. I heard that the Mac drive can make Windows well read this file system.

    The issue is sharing this media on drives fast enough for both systems be able to modify / access simultaneously. I do not have Gigabit ethernet, but I don't think it would be pretty quickly, I think that practically it tops on about 70 MB/second. I probably need more speed.

    Also the Mac can share than the SMB protocol, but does not seem to the current Mac OS 10.7 sharing SMB very well but I test it with Windows. I know for my various boxes of media player, it does not work very well, or at any time to access my Mac 10.7 system via SMB. In addition, SMB seems to be a very slow network protocol. I can share via AFP or NFS, and I think that NFS is the speed you need, do not know if Windows out of the box can cope with this Protocol.

    I know there is such a thing as "fiber channel" and other mainly tech to create a fast network, the Mac can also network via Firewire, but I don't think it will be enough or fast. I guess I could see if it was faster than Gigabit ethernet protocol using Cat 6 or what is the last type of ethernet cable. I am doing a shortcut here and see if the large number of people did and what they think works best.

    Thanks for all the tips here.

    Kind regards

    -Keith

    I guess there are a lot of variables, but change us on a network using the SMB and Gigabit Ethernet and working with fairly similar media (XDCAM HD 422, XDCAM EX, AVCHD or H264) and it works fine. We have two servers sharing between 3 and 4 editing suites. I think that if you are just sharing between two machines, it should be sufficient.

  • Can I move files between Vista and XP

    Hello

    My pc has XP and my new laptop Toshiba Vista.
    In the future I'll have to use work files from my pc to the Toshiba...
    This will cause problems if I move between the 2 OS?

    Thank you

    Why not. If you have installed the right software that is able to manage and to open these files on Vista and XP OS, then it should be possible to use the files of the work on the two operating systems.

    I really serious reasons of t see why it shouldn't have been possible to manage these files using Vista and XP.

  • move a VM between Mac and Windows

    > What would be the advantage to export as an OVF instead of just copying the file to the virtual machine

    There is no benefit, except if you're paid by the hour - export via ovf does 3 steps - copy the entire directory or package is only one step

    through FVO:
    1. export to the FVO
    2. copy new host via a network or a portable drive
    3. import of the FVO

    without the FVO
    1. copy new host via a network or a portable drive

    before starting the first virtual machine - vmx - open with notepad and adjust the MAC-typical of Windows style paths

  • Muse different between Mac and Windows versions

    Me and a friend wanted to test Adobe Muse and we have installed the trial version for 30 days. I did it on my Mac. My friend on his Windows PC. I tried Muse, and when I wanted to show what I have done to my friend, I went to him with the .muse on a USB key file. Us, where he is very surprised that the Muse on the Windows PC could not open the file I did on my Mac due to versioning problems. We compared versions of Muse and... they are different (on Mac: 2014.2.0.569, 787027 CL; Windows: 7.4 V build 30, CL 784238). It is a problem because we wanted to develop as well on the same site, of course not at the same time, but by the way the .muse one to another file.

    Is it normal that versions between platforms is not synchronized?

    Thanks for responding!

    Marc Verschueren.

    Hi Marc,.

    The version of Muse in the machine of windows of your friend is not the latest version, this could be because of the previous installation or windows machine technical specifications are not met.

    Please check the system requirements for windows for output CC 2014:

    Hello
    is it possible to edit a FH file that was created on a Mac on a Windows machine?
    Of course, the two computers have the same version of Freehand.
    Thanks in advance

    FreeHand files are cross-platform, which means that the same files can be

  • Microsoft Word between Mac and Windows 10?

    Hello

    I am owner of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel (as well as the rest of the Microsoft office package?), and I was wondering if it was possible to use it in Windows 10? I can't find it anywhere...

    think about all software companies make you pay for their software on every platform

    may be outside the steam

    with ms office then maybe if you pay their subscription of 356 office rental you can get their software on all platforms, you can try to check.

  • You can open the same indesign file on mac and PC?

    Watch creative installation cloud on a mac and PC (at work) but need to read old and new indesign files created. Thank you

    1. The INDD format back on Mac and Windows.
    2. If you have the same version or a version more recent that the file was created with you can open it without problem.
    3. If you want to open a file in an earlier version, you should ask an IDML file from the initiator. But expect undesirable changes in the file.
    4. Inside the creative cloud you can open cs6 up any latest file if you have an internet connection, but expect changes too.
    5. Problems between Mac and Windows are often policies. The Mac can read only fonts Windows, but Windows can not read only Mac fonts. If you are using OTF fonts only you have no problem.
    6. New OS have problems with T1 (Postscript fonts), my recommendation is to avoid.
    7. Using PSE often of problems appear, specific with the new operating system and postscript fonts are embedded in the EPS, do not use it, use PDF/X-4.
