• Help, VMWare Fusion does not start

  Hello world

  The night last VMWare fusion stop Windows XP on it is.  I use Mac OS X.  Now, the screen is black. I can not shut down or restart the virtual machine. It only allows me to suspend.  I have already stopped my mac once and restarted. When I restarted VMWare the screen remains black.  I found the following on the support page suggesting. I can understand how everythign except 'launch of Fusion parameters.  I'm afraid to try this to spoil things. I have attached a few newspapers. I was looking on the forum and it seems that a few people have asked this problem, but I didn't know what to do by reading the discussions.  Any thoughts? Fixed certain log files.

  Thank you very much!

  3. Click the Pack Windows of the virtual machine and choose Show Package Contents.

• Delete suspends .vmss and .vmem of the directory of the virtual machine files.

• Remove the lock files or records (.lck or . WriteLock) from the directory of the virtual machine.

• Open the .vmx file using a text editor.

To be on the right side read a bit about where to find things of A Beginner's Guide to VMware Fusion

Once you find your current VM (this is what I meant by VM topic), then you can either copy & paste as you suggest, or drag another hard drive (if you have several available) and it will copy.  From my experience, it takes about 1 GB / minute to copy between 2 Firewire 400 external drives, then the copy may take some time depending on the size of the virtual machine is.

It's probably a good sign that Shut Down Guest is active, then force power off can back you on track.

By chance, you had just upgraded merger, or have you tried to upgrade VMware Tools when this started to happen?  At the end of the log, it seemed that tools attempted an update, and I wonder if you are stuck in some kind of loop when trying to manage this.

Backup and try the power first, I hope that you will get underway again.

• Update Mac OS, now VMWare Fusion does not start

  I upgraded to Mac OS 10.4.11 on Intel MacBook Pro and now VMWare Fusion does not start.  I've since installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled to Fusion 2.0.2.  That did not help

  I have attached the logs from VMWare. Any suggestions?

  John

  Hi John,.

  I checked your logs - thank you for them!  That you use in an accident in one of the Apple libraries (OpenSSL, to be precise), which uses VMware Fusion.

  I see a number of Mac OS X 10.4.11 users complain about the accident even in iTunes:

  http://discussions.Apple.com/thread.jspa?MessageID=8254606

  http://forums.Macworld.com/thread/105826

  They claim that the installation of the latest Apple security updates (they specifically mention 2008-007) solves the problem.

  Can you try to install the latest security updates, and let us know if this fixes the bug Apple?

  Thank you!

• VMware Fusion cannot connect to the Virtual Machine

  Then the Setup program tries to update to VMware Fusion 2.0.2 to 2.0.4 to a standstill during the process, and now I can't start Fuison, I get the messge seen below. I have an installed registration number and the software is registered.

  Running 10.5.6 on a MacPro double 2.8 quad. XP Pro under Fusion.

  Do you mean the serial number?  In any case restart the Mac and if this does not make a difference then uninstall/reinstall VMware Fusion and restart the Mac later.  Note: VMware Fusion of uninstalling/reinstalling does not remove your Virtual Machines.

• Could not open the virtual machine

  I used the customer convertor to create this virtual machine from one which works well on ESxi.  When I try to open on Win7-64 machines running vmplayer 3.1.4 I get the following error:

  Could not open the virtual machine: file "D:\Data\VM Machines\WW S2008_32\WW S2008_32.vmx 10_1 10_1" line 1: syntax error.

  Any ideas?

  "" "WW 10_1 S2008_32.vmx.zip" attached file contains the "WW 10_1 S2008_32.vmx" file created under VMware Player 3.1.4 and was then modified to reflect the values of parameter that you might want to stay the same as uuid etc.  Start VMware Player and then check the settings before running the virtual machine.

• Getting error: could not open the Virtual Machine: failed to query the Source for more information

  When I have a virtual machine to export to the FVO on an ESXi 4.0 and then try again to import the FVO on VMware Player or Workstation 7.1, I get the following message:

  «Could not open the Virtual Machine: failed to query the Source for more information.» I can successfully re-import this file OVF in an ESXi server without any problems. Anyone know why this is happening and what can be done to remedy this?

  Thank you

  Christopher

  Hello.

  Try to use ovftool to convert a VMX of the FVO.

  Good luck!

• Need help: the Portfolio does not open in my browsers

  I discovered a portfolio that opens in Internet Explorer (v.10.0) but the same portfolio does not open in Chrome (v.42.0) or Firefox (v.37.0.1) - rather only the cover sheet appears. I have Adobe Reader 11.0 and XI of Acrobat Pro installed. Are there special browser settings that I need to put? Thank you.

  Hi Steve, thank you very much for your answer. I have Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Technical Communication Suite 5 installed.

• After the Fusion 3 / Windows Installer, 2 XP VM Fusion does not open

  I've been running Fusion 2.0.6 with a Windows XP virtual machine. I installed a trial version of Fusion 3.0.1 on which I installed a Windows 7 (64 bit) VM, leaving the old disk (Windows XP) virtual intact. I tried a clean install of Fusion 3.0.1 / Windows 7, to clean up the application install and add the XP disc so I could migrate data files.

  Now, I have the worst of all worlds - not only the VM 7 Win looks like an old version of 2 months of the XP virtual machine, but I can no longer start the XP virtual machine, which returns this error when I try:

  Cannot open disk ' / users/Lehrman/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized / Windows Professional.vmwarevm XP / Windows XP Professional - 000007.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

  Reason: The virtual disk parent has been changed since the child was created

  Did you add the XP VM Fusion 3 / Win 7 VM change so it cannot be opened? I assumed that the Fusion 3 assessment would not replace version 2 but the VMWare Fusion.app in my Applications folder is dated September 22, 2009 and shows version 3.0.1 under properties. It is ony a Fusion version 2?

  In this thread, I said to make sure that you have removed your snapshot files in the Snapshot Manager, so the latest changes to XP VM were in the base VMDK file.  Implicit, but didn't get your XP disk to a different computer virtual while having shots according to the XP disc may invalidate these shots (and the changes they contain).  Choose the VMDK (without all - 000001.vmdk suffix) base on another virtual machine, without first deleting snapshots would be a bad idea.

  If you have a backup of virtual XP disk of origin who depend on snapshot files, you can restore this drive and the XP machine working again.  If this isn't the case, you may have to write off snapshots or frustrate the modification timestamp check.

  The migration is successful with the drive you chose?

• Internet on vmware fusion does not

  Internet on vmware fusion worked perfectly until yesterday, then suddenly it stopped working even if it still works on my mac. I have the new mac book pro (without the snow leopard)

  Thank you for your help.

  and btw im really stupid in theise things so if you could just tell me step by step what I need to do... Thank you

  Before you start giving more attitude, realize that most people here do on their free time.  Not everyone is online every day.  If possible the person who has an answer for you, may not be online for several days.

  In addition, you are asking in the wrong forum.  You will get more answers in the Fusion forum.  This is the sustained community forum Hardwware/software for the hardware not supported, which is not the merger.  At the top of the forum page, there is an information box "before the announcement of this community please read On the CSHWSW.

  Then take a look at HOWTO: ask (and answer) Questions for some suggestions on info provide in the future so that it will be easier for others to help you.  As it is, you havne't say much more that "he doesn't."  You don't say what troubleshooting have you tried in addition to the screenshot.  "I have the new Macbook Pro, but without the snow leopard.  Well, the new MBP would have Snow Leopard.  But as indicated in the document related, different versions may have different problems if the version or build number is often useful.  (e.g.: OSX 10.5.1 is different than OSX 10.5.7 but both are OSX Leopard.)

  Now, as to your question.  Let your virtual machine to NAT.  It will use your Mac a internet connection.  I'm assuming that your Mac has internet connectivity. (for example: you can launch Safari.)  Did you reboot the virtual machine and your Mac?  (Do not sleep or suspend, but a full power off the coast and then restart.)  I rarely reboot my Mac so I know it's easy to forget.

• VMWare Fusion does not charge: '... /.» Trash/Windows XP Home Edition.vmwarevm' does not exist.

  Hello

  Friday, I emptied my Mac desktop trash to get rid of the old emails, etc..  I have never knowingly put anything VMware in the trash.  But now, when I try to load install VMWare Fusion to get to my old Windows XP, I get this error message.  I tried many restorations of Time Machine, without success. Is it possible to get the functionality back to Fusion without losing my old data in it?

  Is it possible to get the functionality back to Fusion without losing my old data in it?

  In case the explanations of Woody is not clear: a .vmwarevm bundle contains all * data related to a virtual machine. If it was in the trash and you drained, you have already lost your data. There is nothing to recover. Sorry to have to be the Messenger of bad news.

• VMWare fusion does not work on iMac 7.1

  Hello

  I have a copy of Snow Leopard Server and VMWARE fusion. I got this combo with success work on my Macbook Pro with no problems, but when I try this combination even on my iMac I get a double kernel panic, as evidenced by this screenshot:

  

  I checked all the specs and my iMac is compatible, anyone have any suggestions?

  Thank you guys

  Wow, I don't know what I was thinking... must have been late in my shift!

  Indeed, 10.x is Snow Leopard, and 9.x is leopard.

  In the same way, if the virtual machine is 10.6 but is configured to 10.5 because it shows the screenshot, I could see kernel panic.

  beeblebrox42, if you change the type of OS 10.6, it works?  What about the 64 bit 32 vs?

• Could not open the Virtual Machine: get Windows XP line 1: syntax error

  The VMware Fusion team:

  I impatiently force them to leave my MacBook Pro as my virtual machine was frozen... as a result, whenever I try and open my VM, I get this error: http://img.Skitch.com/20100316-bdpjryuqdskw8831i8j56iyqs1.jpg .

  I restart and no improvement.

  Tips, thoughts, suggestions? Thanks a lot for your help.

  I do not have the fainest idea why you're engaging again the truncated .vmx file of origin that you posted first however back a review what I said.  The line at the bottom is the .vmx file that I have attached to my last answer should be used to replace your computer in the Virtual Machine "s as package but the Virtual Machine must be stopped, not suspended and merger closed when you replace the truncated by a good I have attached.»  I can't do it, is more obvious or simple then I already have!
