Copy VM

Reading the other posts it seems that I can easily "backup" a virtual machine by simply copying the whole folder. In my case, I have the following text in the folder:

caches [Directory]

* VM Machine x64.nvram

* VM Machine x64.vmdk

* VM Machine x64.vmsd

* VM Machine x64.vmx

* VM Machine x64.vmxf

WMware.log

VMware - 0.log

VMware - 1.log

vprintproxy.log

My questions are:

(1) is sufficient to copy the ones I marked with * or should I also the files in Directory / log caches?

(2) when I 'restore' the virtual machine then I on another drive, drive letter is different?

(3) when I 'restore' the virtual machine then I in another directory?

Is there anything else I should be aware of? Please note that I have two main objectives for this backup

(a) quickly to return to the original configuration after I did some tests (and messed up the system).

(b) use the copy on my laptop when I'm on the road and on my desk at home, i.e. the underlying HW will be different.

Yes, the files that you do not mark are not required to restore the virtual computer on a different drive or directory. Start the virtual machine to another location you will be asked if you copied or moved the virtual computer. In case you want to keep the MAC address of the virtual machine, answer "I moved it.

When you use the virtual machine on another system you must make sure that you use the same version of VMware Workstation or configure the virtual machine in a way that is supported by the different versions (for example, the virtual hardware version). Depending on how the material is different on the systems, you can run in the reactivation of the needs with Windows.

  • Big problem in the finder then the copy of the file trought different drivers

    For my work, I download and archive about 100 GB of photos every time.

    After upgrading to Mac OS sierra I meet big difficult.

    1 copy a lot of files require a lot of time more instead of last osx (about 4-5 times more)

    2 - from multiple instances of copy beginning with a lot of delay (approximately 5-6 minutes after the control drag & drop or copy/paste)

    3 - once the completed instance disappear and always with "0 file to the end" for a long time (about half the time of the copy) and in any case until all istances have been terminated

  • Automate the copy of several cells of different lines based on a non-single cell

    Hello

    I would like to automate the process for copy information in the columns of 'product', 'ref' and 'quantity' to another table in the sheet 'order' based on the text in the column "nr." I know it can be done with the help of the filter and the copy paste, but I would like to know if this can be automated, because there are many more tables in my actual document. The numbers ranging from 16/01/00 to a minimum of 16/200 then make an index for each column seems an unlikely solution?

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Kind regards

    Kim

    HI Kim,

    I see screenshots of two seemingly identical pictures. Its position, I could infer that 16/01/00 is the name of this table.

    I don't see a column named "nr."

    Please repost, with images of the two tables.

  • The behavior of copy (.png files) screen when using TextEdit and printing

    I have long used the method to copy and paste texts and/or pictures to TextEdit and print files .rtf or .rtfd below:

    I use the command-control-shift-4 and the cursor to select things and paste into TextEdit.

    That stopped working in the Sierra.  I tried several methods (PDF format conversion, fall in Pages and Numbers, for example), but nothing worked: the Canon PIXMA MX922 printed on a white sheet and left the box of small characters with text "filter impossible."

    There is no new printer driver on the Canon site; However, there is a new driver IJ Scan Utility and I downloaded it already after that installation of Sierra and the scanner works fine, as also directly print something (e.g. on the Web).

    Now, after several days of testing and I was wondering, I tried this yesterday:

    Instead of the above command, I used (which I do when I want to save it to the desktop) command + shift + 4.  I copied the file .png from office, dropped in the TextEdit, printed, and... IT WORKED.

    Copy and leaving fall directly in the TextEdit and printing, is so not working, but let fall the same screenshot on the desktop and copy and paste into TextEdit and it print shops.

    I noticed several other annoying problems to Sierra, some I've reported here (communities), some didn't.  Business-as-usual: first version of an upgrade is full of bugs, which 'disappear' in future versions, until a new update is made available, the loop continues, continues, and...

  • Copy and paste text messages

    Before the 10th of IOS, I could tap twice on my message text to copy it.  Now, a double tap brings up a window of options.  How can I copy text in 10 IOS?  Thank you.

    Hello mr1213,

    Thank you for your question on how to copy text in the posts here in the Apple Support communities. Yes, with iOS 10, this option has changed a bit. The double tap brings up the new options you described. If you press and hold the message you want to copy, you will get the new options menu and the option to copy or more. Here is the users iOS 10 for reference guide: iPhone iOS 10 User Guide.

    Thanks again. Have a great rest of your day.

  • A copy of the Sierra of MacOS and travel on the same volume

    I installed a new copy of the Sierra of MacOS, and most things seem to be well-oiled. However, I noticed that when I copy a file and paste it on the same volume, a copy of it remains in the original location. So, by example, if I download a file in the Downloads folder and then copy this file in Documents, a copy of the file remains in the folder downloads. On previous versions of Mac OS x, the default action might have to move the file of Di-ownloads of Documents. Is it possible to recover this feature?

    Another totally independent question is I see also that Terminal does not save orders, after its closure. So if I entered a command then close Terminal, after the reopening, I have to type the same command again. On older versions of Mac OS x, we could simply use the arrow keys to navigate through previous orders. Is it possible to recover this feature?

    Try the press / hold down the command key while you click and drag a file from one folder to another. Like El Capitan, this should move the file.

    About Terminal, the up/down arrows always work for me to remind the right Terminal commands like they did with El Capitan.

  • Copy music and more from iPhone to mac, rather than the reverse?

    Using a PC, I finally have my iPhone music and everything set up exactly like I want. I was hoping synchronization and backup, and everything with my Macbook instead of the PC, but I can't seem to do without erasing my iPhone. My Mac iTunes library is virtually empty, so I was wondering if there was some sort of implement for phone orders is copied on it, and not vice versa.

    A mobile device is designed to allow only limited copying of media from the device to a computer (only iTunes Store purchases).  You need to transfer your library to the Mac, or else he will always want to erase from your phone.

    Page 6 of Apple, exhaustively meticulous instructions step by step: how to move your iTunes library to a new computer - https://support.apple.com/HT204318 it is convenient if you think that all your materials are not in the standard location.

    My resume in a sentence if you use preferences by default iTunes settings: copy the folder integer iTunes (and to ensure that all of its subfolders and files) intact at the other disk, hold down the option/alt key (shift on Windows) keys to start iTunes and on request to select a library select iTunes Library.itl file in the copied folder (open a different iTunes library file or create a new one - https://support.apple.com/HT201596).

    When it comes to a new car/computer put the iTunes folder copied to the default location of Macintosh HD > users > * user name * > music (or home > music) so you don't even have to start with the down option, iTunes will automatically look it there.  (Make sure that it is no anything already in the iTunes folder it that you want to keep because you will replace it with the one you are moving).  Don't forget to authorize computer in iTunes to your Apple ID if you use it to synchronize with Apple devices or play multimedia DRM protected (e.g., movies).

    Some elements used in iTunes related activities are not stored in the iTunes library folder, but in special folders.  If you move a library to another computer, you can copy these too:

  • No PIP or copy / paste in the Sierra

    Hey,.

    I have a Mac Pro 5.1 with a Geforce GTX 970 and just the sierra have improved. But most of the new features do not work. I don't see a pip icon anywhere and can not copy and paste anything throughout my devices despite the fact that my mac is faster than 90% of all recent Macs out there.

    All solutions?

    see you soon

    PIP only works with Safari and iTunes for now. Only some sites will display the PIP icon. I think that CNN and ESPN do, YouTube is not.

    With regard to the universal Clipboard, mobile devices must be running iOS 10, you must be logged on all devices with the same Apple ID. Bluetooth and Wi - Fi must be.

  • Songs don't copy on iPhone after iOS 10

    Hello-

    Hello. I seem to have two problems with my iTunes now past.

    (1) because I have installed iOS 10, iTunes won't actually add songs to my iPhone. I can copy in the playlist, but then they "cling" grayed out, without actually copying on the phone, like this...

    "The gray ring" never turns and really puts the song on my phone. Some tips?

    (2.) I was not able to update iTunes itself for some time now. I don't know why, while I lived and screen captured the error looking for help. Perhaps it would help to the first question, too, although nothing to update iTunes regularly got really bad until iOS 10 came a few weeks ago...

    I have download to update...

    Here goes...

    And then it's the case...

    Tips on how to solve this problem? Or do I just reinstall the program completely? I'm worried that might spoil playlists and my sync with my phone, however, want to NOT lose everything that he and I am worry that anything that prevents the update prevents a 'cold' in installation and not really fix the problem.

    Thank you very much.

    I also experience question (1). The only solution I've found so far is to delete the files greyed out iPhone, unplug it from my machine and start the process again. However I also add this problem with a previous version of iTunes and iOS with my old iPhone 4s, but he seems to be even worse with iOS 12.5.1 iTunes 10 and my iPhone 6.

  • Why can't copy files to my iPod from iTunes

    I have not the slightest idea of what is happening.

    I used an iPod Touch for years (I now have a 5th generation Touch running IOS 9.3.5).)  But this week when I tried to copy a file (mp3, unprotected file, a record of a sermon) from iTunes on my iTouch, I got this message: "Some of the files have been copied not in the iPod"IPod touch guys"because iCloud music library is activated on the iPod."

    Then I tried to copy other files to my iTouch - some of them I bought music from the iTunes sotre files - and I got the same message.  Apparently, I can't move my app on my iTouch iTunes files.

    The only different thing I do now is I'm trying the Apple music, but I have not changed the settings on my iTouch.  How can I solve this problem?

    Hello

    You cannot manually manage your music when you use the music library of music to Apple /iCloud. When you subscribe to apple music, iTunes you library is analyzed to determine what can be matched or must be downloaded. This will make you the music available on your iOS devices to listen to or download.

    This MP3 has been downloaded?

  • copy/paste crash Word and other applications

    Since the upgrade, I am not able to copy a large amount of text from Word to any application - it blocks of Word and the target application. Small pieces works well. Copy and paste different applications often translates into collage nothing.

    I disabled handoff, restarted - nothing helped.

    What version of Word are you running?

    I 15.15 Word and PowerPoint 15.13.4 15.13.4 Excel installed. and not noticed problems with these versions of the Sierra.  If your version is older, try if will help update.
