How to share a VM in an external drive between machines?

I want to save a VM (Ubuntu 14.04.1) in an external drive and use between iMac and MBP.

There will be a problem?

All of the recommendations, if any, on how to ensure that it can be used on both machines?

Using vmfusion 6.0.4.

If you are going to move the virtual machine between different computers, then always stop, not suspend, inside guest OS (just as if it were a physical machine) and then closing VMware Fusion before disassembly/ejection of the external drive.

Add the following option in the configuration .vmx so you are not prompted with the message moved/copied.

UUID.action = 'keep '.

Take a look at: changing the file .vmx for your VM of Fusion (1014782)

Note that 'keep' is as if you said "I moved it" vs. "I copied it" who would 'create '.

In addition, you should avoid moving between systems with snapshots as there can be problems, attempt to restore a created on a system while running on a different system so created.

    In fact, I don't think that smart insights do what you ask, although they could be a solution to a different problem. Smart insights are especially useful when the external drive is not connected (that has not been mentioned in the problem statement).

    In general, the workflow of moving pictures on an internal drive, changing them, and then remove the pictures back to the internal drive is unnecessary extra work that adds almost no advantage. There is such a difference in small speed based on the speed of drive when you load a photo into the development module that you may not notice, and it can be eclipsed by the time it takes to move the photo. Ian Lyons did a study and in most cases, the difference between editing photos on a hard drive internal and editing photos on an external drive was small fractions of a second.

    So my advice to you is just to let the pictures on the external hard drive, no moving pictures from here to there, not too much space on your internal drive with smart insights.

  • How do I backup files to an external drive then in safe mode on XP?

    My XP went into safe mode, I bought an external hard drive to back up files before trying system restore, but XP does not recognize the drive Ext. then in safe mode.  What to do next?

    First of all, good for you to realize the importance of backing up your data!

    What is the brand and model of your external hard drive? Did you try another (even a USB flash drive)?

    Have you tried Normal Mode? If you did, that's happened? Please be specific.
    In addition, specify what you mean by "System Restore" and explain why you think it's necessary. This term can mean two things:
    1. Windows XP system restore, which is best used in LIMITED situations and return to a previous configuration of the operating system and associated parameters
    2. a restore or recovery, which is a method from an OEM provides to actually reinstall the operating system. It may be non-destructive, which should keep data intact or destructive files, returning the PC to its original factory condition.
  • How to play MP3/MP4 player with external drive?

    Whenever I want to play an MP3 that is online, opens a new tab in Firefox and the MP3 plays inside Firefox. No matter what I do: I put in MP3 to play with Windows Media Player (or always ask) but Firefox ignore this parameter. Or with other mediaplayer, Firefox always keep to play it in the browser itself.
    I know it has something to with Quicktime cause when I uninstall that MP3 are open in the mediaplayer to my choice. But as soon when I installed Quicktime (or Quicktime Lite also), Firefox does not take account of my settings and only play it in the browser. I have Quicktime for my music and video editing software, otherwise I would not install it. With Quicktime Lite codec alone does the work, but also with the fact that Firefox doesn't play MP3 and MP4 files with my player of choice. It goes the same for MP4 files: no matter what I do, Firefox it plays in the browser itself, instead of the parameter in the Firefox Options to set my player of choice, I did.

    Hello meegja, enter about: config in the firefox address bar (confirm the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named media.windows - media - foundation.enabled.

    My hard drive was full, so I copied the file 'My lightroom photos' on an external drive.  Then I deleted the file from my hard drive.  Now I can not find the external drive in lightroom5.  All the files on the hard drive are grayed out with one? on them.  How can I find and access the external drive in lightroom, and then how to record all future imports this file?

    Thanks for your help.

    You will neeed to import again.

    Use Import > add

    Then navigate to the pictures folder.

    When you have new pictures put them in a new folder and navigate to this folder.

    You will need to keep the external hard drive connected when using LR5.
