Impossible to copy the old Mac VM (Fusion 2.0.6 running leopard) again Mac (SL running Fusion 3.1.2)

Just got a new MBP with SL, I upgraded to Fusion 3 and tried to migrate my Windows xp VM on my old MBP at this news.

Here's what I did:

(1) stop the virtual machine from windows.

(2) copy the package of VMware, IE. all under the/Document/Virtual Machines / to the same location of the new MBP

(3) launching the Fusion 3 on the new MBP

(4) choose "open an existing virtual machine.

(5) windows XP VM will appear in the Menu.

(6) it starts to 'load' but then he says "the virtual machine appears to be in use", and there a yellow warning icon.

I don't know what is the cause. I already have stop my VM before I copied this on. That is to say. He is not in a paused state.

I suspect that there may be some impure lock sitting somewhere in those files, tagging, wrongly, that it is used...

Any help is appreciated. Right now, it seems that I have to continue to use the old MBP/Vmware

Try looking at the beam (right click on-> show the contents of the package) for folders .lck. If present try to delete.

If present try to also delete the file .vmss .

  • Copy the old Time Machine files to the new disk TM

    Sorry people, I have to ask two (related) questions:

    (1) I have a WD My Passport for Mac drive connected to an Airport Extreme and 2 Macs use for backup via Time Machine. Now, the disk is full. I bought a WD My Book for Mac drive with a capacity of 4 TB and am ready to go.

    Question: can I copy the old files of Time Machine on my new book?

    (2) until now 2 different Macs used the My Passport as a Time Machine drive with no problems.

    Question: Should I partition the new drive (My Book) and every Mac uses its own partition as Time Machine or can proceed us as is?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Question: can I copy the old files of Time Machine on my new book?

    Yes you can, but there is a lot of work, a little complicated, time consuming and not worth the effort for most users.  The main reasons for this are...

    (1) the older backups will take a good amount of space on the new drive, limiting the space on the disk again.

    (2) Time Machine backups for the old files will continue... it will make a new copy of every Mac and then go forward again with incremental backups.

    A better plan would be to keep the old drive on hand for a few months, in which case you need to go back and look for a file. After a few months, you will have a beautiful story from backup to the new hard drive and no need of older backups so you can remove the old disk and keep around as a spare part or use it for other purposes.

    Question: Should I partition the new drive (My Book) and every Mac uses its own partition as Time Machine or can proceed us as is?

    While you can partition the drive and save each Mac to a separate partition if you wish, there is really no need to do this since Time Machine will automatically create separate for each Mac backup files.

    Final Cut Pro 5.1 [Yes, I know it's old, but I needed to match what they had at the public access station]

    Lately my Final Cut has agitated fonctionnee.  It doesn't matter if I restart.  To this end, I dropped a bunch of things on the hard drive, so it might work better.  Now, I have 65 GB available and used a 168 on hard drive.  Always the same problem, with no improvement whatsoever.

    I also get the 'Spinning Wheel of Death' almost any time, I try to do anything about the program.  Render times are incredibly long and do chromakey or luma key with other special effects is almost impossible because of the slow times.  Also the same program will not play certain things, but just towers [the spinning wheel of death], and then jumps ahead--possibly after a minute or two.

    Until recently, it was a great machine and I was able to do many things with it, including editing of a feature film.

    If you have thoughts or ideas for me, would be great!

    While 1 GB RAM meets the minimum requirement, I am sure that more RAM would be useful.

  • I copied the old file of passwords in the new profile, but do not see.

    Got a new laptop. Copied the content from the old profile to new profile. Most of the old information are there (bookmarks), but I do not see the passwords. I repeated copying the two files key3db and logins.json specifically, but even the passwords saved on my old profile are not there...

    Could you try again in a new profile and copy only the files logins.json and key3db?

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

  • Retrocopatibility between the latest Mac OS and the old Mac Mini

    Hello

    I m trying to buy a Mac Mini used for my son but I want a machine that can use the latest Mac OS today and at least the next operating system.

    I know that older machines cannot use the operating system more recent (I had this problem with a MacBookPro). Where can I get information on this to avoid buying too much a machine old and limited in this respect?

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Best.

  • "Impossible to copy the name of the file: access is denied." Make sure that the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use. »

    I move the data because a Trojan horse snuck in.  I killed the Trojan horse by setting the drive as external and scanning.  However, I could no longer connect to the formerly infected drive. It hangs at the Welcome screen.  So I load XP Pro on another drive and set the old drive as external. I now see data, but get the "Access denied" message that will let me copy the data.

    Or I have to be able to release the data to the new drive or access the old disk by booting to XP.  Now I can't do either.

    I tried to get XP on the old drive, but the Trojan horse seems to have changed the password admin. I then tried to erase the password using a Linux boot disk and it showed the account unlocked, but I always block to the Welcome screen.

    Ideas appreciated.  I can't move forward until I can get the data off. THX K.

    Thank you

    Of course, you can install the CS 6 version which is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    All what you need to do is to download and install Adobe Application Manager, sign in with your Adobe ID and install Photoshop CS 6.

  • It is possible to find the old MAC address?

    I have a serious problem with an application because of licensing depends on the virtual machine's MAC address. This MAC address changed when the transferd vm to another host.

    Do you know if there is a way to find old MAC?

    Thank you

    NR

    While previous answers are basically good, I want to add that you need to search your vmware*.log files or all occurrences ethernetX.generatedAddress to find the older Macs used by the virtual machine.

  • Copy the old system to ESXi?

    Hello I have a slight problem with ESXi...

    I want to copy old vmx (Windows Server 2008 + System.vmx team) file to a new system of ESXi.

    After some googling, I found on ovfTool. And that I would need to convertfiles.

    Now, I have a slight problem. The ovfTool does not work. So I can't try this conversion.

    Is someone can please tell me that either have been finding a decent job. (I have read http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35/vi3_35_25_quickstart.pdf) on the old VMwareStasions of loading.

    Or how can I do this? Since I kinda need it...

    Thank you

    Kind regards

    Robin

    OK, I'm going to assume you are currently on a system of ESXi and want to go to another system of ESXi.

    Since you'd already be ESXi on a host, so if you have the storage space, you can use the browser data store to download config as vm and all of its files, store locally and then download them on your new host ESX via the browser to store data again.  No other tool would be necessary, but you must have the storage to contain what you need to transfer.

    Each of us has started early, don't worry.

    (1) analyze the errors:

    ORA-01081: cannot start already running ORACLE - he stop first

    your database are open? Check it with--> sqlplus > select status from v$ instance;

    (2) following error:

    ORA-00202: control file: ' D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\TEST\TEST_CONTROL01. CTL'

    ORA-27038: created file already exists

    OSD-04010: option specified, file already exists

    Explain to: https://forums.oracle.com/message/9629124

    (3) to create controlfile your database should be in status "Nomount". So:

    SQL > shutdown immediate;

    SQL > startup nomount;

    4) more info on: CREATE CONTROLFILE
