• How to install an instance of Yosemite on VMWare Fusion 7?

  Just got a Mac Mini with preinstalled Yosemite. I want to install an instance of Yosemite on my virtual machine running Fusion 7. How do I do that? Yosemite download on the App store? This will create problems?

  I'm learning the terminal, and I feel much better in futzing with it in a sandbox.

  I'm learning the terminal, and I feel much better in futzing with it in a sandbox.

  I think that the people above are missing the point. Trixie (?) got a Mac with already installed Yosemite, but wants a second copy in a virtual machine for Trixie can practice some terminal commands without fear of ruining its production equipment. The question is how to get a copy of Yosemite Trixie allowing it to install on a virtual machine.

  None of my Macs come with Yosemite, so I easily could get it from the App Store. It's free from Apple. Even if your Mac came with Yosemite, I guess you can get your own copy of the installer from the App Store. Based on this assumption, here's what I suggest:

  GETTING TO YOSEMITE

  * First of all, try to get a copy of Yosemite from the App Store yourself, even if you are already running Yosemite. Search in the App Store, "os x yosemite." The icon is a white circle with a big X in "utilities". Go ahead and 'Get' or 'Buy' or 'download '. It will be downloaded in your Applications folder. The file is called "install OS X Yosemite.app. (NOTE: you can't see the part ".app" to the name of the file.)

  * If it does not, ask a friend with an old Mac to get a copy of Yosemite with their Mavericks or older Mac. Remind them NOT to launch "Installer OS X Yosemite.app" in their Applications folder! They should copy out of their Applications folder and put it on a flash drive or DVD ROM or the hard drive for you. (IMPORTANT: even if your friend wants to install Yosemite, they must first make a separate copy of the installer.) As soon as it is installed, Yosemite deletes its own Installer automatically from the Applications folder only, but not the copies that have been made elsewhere.

  INSTALLATION of YOSEMITE IN a VMware VIRTUAL MACHINE

  * Move the file "install OS X Yosemite.app' of Applications to another folder. If it's on a flash drive, you can leave it there.

  * Launch VMware Fusion.

  Create a new machine virtual (menu file-> New, library Virtual Machine 'Add-> New', or command-N).

  * Choose Install from disk or an image. Click on continue.

  * Click on using another drive or disc image..., then browse to the file "install OS X Yosemite.app. Click the Open button in the dialog box, then click on continue.

  (Note: there is no need to open the 'package' to find the file "installESD.dmg".) Simply select the file "Install OS X Yosemite.app" and VMware Fusion does the rest for you.)

  * If you want to customize the settings (change the RAM, disk space, etc), do it now. Otherwise, click Finish. The setup of OS X Yosemite will start and run. It will say "creating installation support...". This may take a few minutes. "On my computer, it took more than a" few"minutes. :-)

  * Choose the appropriate language (probably English, if you're reading this!). Click on "Install Mac OS X", then continue.

  * Continue to install OS X as usual.

  * Don't forget to update to OS X (software update) and also to install VMware Tools.

• Please help - installation of CentOS on VMware Fusion (Mac)

  Hi all

  Could someone please explain to me how to install CentOS as a virtual machine using VMware Fusion?

  I tried to download the 64-bit CentOS operating system and load as an iso, but it gets to a point where the installation tries to access the files on the CD (which I suppose that there are the drivers installed so that it can access it on the Mac?).

  I would appreciate your step-by-step guides, you can provide to install CentOS as a virtual machine.

  Thanks in advance

  Sean

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  Have you downloaded the ISOs?  It seems that the installer is application disc 2 and find do not.  You must connect the ISO next to continue the installation.

  Good luck!

• SQL Server 2005 Express Installation on Windows XP VMware Fusion (Mac)

  Hello

  I tried to install SQL Server 2005 Express edition on Windows XP VMWare, the installation of the system-error, restart and get a bluescreen with a system error and it does this in a loop without end I tried twice (both with the installations of Windows XP) and both times he wandered outside with a blue system error screen.

  I have no idea why it error. I chose the default configuration for the installation of vmware windows xp, 512 MB RAM and 40 GB of space. And my network setup is NAT.

  If anyone has an idea about this, please give me some ideas.

  Thank you

  I have just downloaded Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and had no problem installing Windows XP and I really don't see this as a matter of VMware Fusion although even if it was I'd go about troubleshooting it as if it were a physical Machine and would start by re-download SQL Server 2005 Express after compensation to any browser cache to make sure that the download was good.  Of course, on a clean at least build, to also have Windows Installer 3.1 and .NET Framework 2 installed first.

  This is the name and the size with a MD5 checksum unofficial of the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition I downloaded from the Download Details: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.

• VMWare Fusion 6 crashes on 10.8.5 during installation

  Any suggestions for successful installation of 6 of VMWare Fusion on a Mac Pro running OS X 10.8.5 (beta 7) or on an iMac running 10.9 (beta 7).  Blocks both machines.  Not a wise way of software for the new OS version when they do not work on the BONE in circulation.

  Hi mrfearless47,

  You meet with the accident described in the other thread?  Fusion 6 Professional hangs at startup

  If this isn't what you see there, could you please attach one of crash reports to an answer here in the forums?  Launch Applications > utilities > Console and find the diagnostic report VMware Fusion.  Attach the file by selecting "Use the Advanced Editor" in the upper right corner, then choosing the below Browse... button; Please do not copy - paste!

• VMWare Fusion 6 extremely slow on iMac i5 / Yosemite

  Hello

  I can't with VMWare Fusion 6 running on my iMac i5.

  I recently did a complete reinstallation of the operating system, and it works now a soft Yosemite with VMWare Fusion 6.0.5.

  When you run a freshly installed Windows 8.1 image (basically doing nothing, with no extra apps running) I

  see the following topics:

  * vmware-vmx process is constantly around 100% (top)

  * Computer becomes very slow, there is a considerable delay even to type the text in TextEdit.

  * When I turn off VMWare Fusion, the computer returns to normal.

  (This problem is not new to Yosemite. I had the same problem on the Mavericks and Mountain Lion, and I had

  in light of all the comments up on VMWare running on the computer, but I had hoped that a complete reinstall might help things)

  Computer data:

  Mid-2011 iMac, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5

  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 (1 GB set to the virtual machine, as suggested by VMWare)

  Drive of fusion (256 ssd + 2 TB)

  Is that what I can do to study?

  Hello ahochan,

  Welcome to the VMware community forum.

  Please take a look at the advice of Darius here: Re: Yosemite and Fusion 7 - very very slow

• VMware Fusion has encountered an error and has stopped Windows.

  Summary:

  I started experiencing this problem in November and was beaten on that since including using the VMware support and Apple support.

  Full of the message in the virtual machine window:

  = VMware Fusion has encountered an error and has stopped

  = bottom of Windows.

  ====

  = Click on restart Windows to start Windows again.  Click report for

  = collect and request the support of VMware.

  ====

  = < ignore > < report... > < Windows restart >

  By clicking < report... > generates the report

  Clicking on < reboot Windows > hangs the system.

  Various VMware Fusion, Virtual Machine commands do nothing.

  Again, only way I found to get there is to Apple, Force Quit of VMware Fusion.

  Two systems in question, iMac and MacBook.

  Familiar to anyone else?

  Details: =.

  The two systems were very well work well on several years.

  Status of starting point was.

  -iMac and MacBook running VMware without any problems for several years.

  -This includes several updates to Mac OS and VMware Fusion.

  -OS X 10.9.5 on both systems with the latest upgrades.

  -VMware Fusion 6 on all systems with the latest upgrades.

  -Virtual Machines on two almost identical systems - Windows 7, all derivatives of a VM database.

  
  

  Problem started only on iMac.

  
  

  In weeks, with the encouragement of support VMware and Apple have updated to Yosemite, installed VMware Fusion 7 and built Windows 8.1 scratch machines.

  
  

  Problem now happening on both systems with MacBook, stay alive for about 15 minutes and iMac may be several hours.

  Any ideas appreciated.

  Thank you.

• PC VMware fusion migration agent: can I migrate to an external drive

  I'm evaluating merger 7 and try to migrate existing PC. Is there a way I can create a vmware file which I can move in a HARD drive rather than perform the migration on the network?

  Thank you

  Ravi

  ravi123201110141 wrote: he talks about the installation and use of "Vmware fusion migration Agent" to perform the migration. Is this different from "VMWare VCenter converter"

  While the two results in a P2V and share some code/software between then, however, they are different products.  The Agent of Migration of VMware Fusion is a limited subset of what VMware vCenter Converter Standalone is able to do.  You said in your OP ""is there a way I can create a vmware file that I can move in a HARD drive rather than perform the migration on the network?". VMware vCenter Converter Standalone is the way to go if that's what you want to do.  Personally I would never, under any circumstances use the Agent of Migration of VMware Fusion and instead use other disk imaging software then manually create a Virtual Machine VMware vCenter Converter Standalone is the way to go otherwise.

• Don't know password for the new installation of Windows 7 Ultimate on VmWare Fusion

  I bought Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and installed on my MAC OS X machine in VmWare Fusion of an image file provided by the seller of Windows 7.  However, when I start the merger, there is a 'user' set up account, and it asks for a password. Typing in anything doesn't work, or 'guest', 'user' or 'password '.  So I can't past the login screen.

  What can I do?

  That was my mistake, and I 'found' the password trying my MAC password.  This was extracted automatically, or if I entered during installation without remembering, I don't know.  In all cases, it is resolved.

  I can't mark my own reply as 'Reply', nor can I delete this question :-(

• VMware Fusion 5 and Yosemite

  Hello

  Does VMware Fusion 5 support Yosemite Mac OS X 10.10.4?

  I just upgraded from Mountain Lion, but when I tried to run a virtual machine that was working on the Mountain Lion, I get "could not open/dev/vmmon: no such file or directory."

  Thank you.

  Hello Yu Chun-Pong,

  The answer is 'No', and follows the answer a little longer...

  I'm sorry to inform you that Fusion 5.x does not work under OS X Yosemite.

  5.x end merger of general support was on 23/08/2014, before the release of Yosemite.

  You can watch the Matrix of Life Cycle of the products for the exact dates.

  It is highly unlikely that VMware publishes an update to a product that has been withdrawn.

  You can roll back to Yosemite to the Mavericks if you wish to continue using the Fusion 5.x or upgrade to a newer version supported.

  If you want to test the latest version to see if it is worth your expenses, you can install and run a fully functional version of 30 days before actually committing to spending anything.

  After 30 days, you purchase a license to modify the merger installed in an unlimited version.

  For the assessment of the merger's direct download link

  In addition, you can also choose to run the Tech Preview, but don't realize that--although normally very stable – there is no guarantees with preview/test software.

  The Tech Preview is here: VMware Fusion Technology Preview 2015 [ARCHIVE]

• VMWare Fusion pro 7.1.1 - blocking running yosemite as a guest problem

  Hi all

  I have a Yosemite pro running (mid-2014, 16 GB of ram video card w / discrete) MacBook. When I run a guest of yosemite, the video is very lag, and the virtual machine is generally not very handy.

  The guest has 4 cores, 4 GB ram, 256 MB of video memory (using the discrete card for 3D applications only) and implements the latest vmware tools 'material' and vmware. I disabled the sound and bluetooth.

  Is that what I can do to improve performance?

  Thank you!

  Yes.  Please check this blog for the manual workaround and a program called "BeamOff" that will provide relief without manual effort.  https://derflounder.WordPress.com/2014/12/13/improving-Yosemite-VM-performance-in-VMware-Fusion/

  I am not the author, and cannot vouch for the port version, however.  I downloaded the source, reviewed and updated on mine, just to be sure.  But it will fix the problem that you are experiencing.  (You need to run the application in the prompt, if it isn't obvious!)

• Selection of the method of Installation of VMWare Fusion 7

  So I take an edx online course: Introduction to computer CS50x. I am following the installation of VMware Fusion instructions found at the following link: https://manual.cs50.net/appliance/2014/fusion/

  I followed the instructions in step #4: I double click the icon of VMware Fusion. I clicked on 'Open' when prompted. I typed my administrative password. I accepted the license agreement. I inserted the license key. I am now in the window "select the installation method. But herein is the problem. I do not know what installation method to choose, and there are no instructions on it. My options are: (1) import of disk or image; (2) import existing PC; (3) install OS X from the recovery partition; (4) import a virtual machine existing; (5) installation of Boot Camp. and (6) create a custom virtual machine.  There are no instructions or advice to navigate through these options.

  Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  From what you have posted, it seems to me that the merger has been successfully installed. The dialog box "Select installation method" you see is Fusion trying to be helpful and you guide in the creation of your first virtual machine.

  At this stage of VMware Fusion and eject the mounted disk installation image (so that you do not open the installation program when you must open the copy installed on your disk). Continue to step 5 to download your virtual appliance of the format .ova.

• Failed to open session in Windows 7 'could not load user profile.', in VMware Fusion 7.0 after upgrade to Yosemite

  I upgraded my Mac Pro in OS X Yosemite 10.10. Before the upgrade, I did a normal shutdown of Windows and VMware Fusion 7.0.0. I also checked first for updates from VMware and was up to date.  After completing the upgrade, I restarted VMware and subsequently started to Windows. Shortly after entering the password to logon to Windows, I received the following error message "the service user profile Service has no logon. The user profile cannot be loaded. "My only option is to click OK, then it seems to re-start Windows, but I'm stuck with this result every time. I restarted the Mac with no variation in the result. Before the upgrade to Yosemite, I have not had any problems. Any help is appreciated.  Thank you.

  I found my answer for someone who is interested.  This isn't a Yosemite or VMware problem.  That's all just a fault which occurred during logon more likely an anti-virus on Windows running in the background.  There is a fairly simple solution be found on the Microsoft support site, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215

  I am once again running without any problem.

• How can I stop the VMware Fusion installation virtual vmware mouse driver?

  Most of the time after I get windows 8 using vmware fusion, I uninstall the usb vmware mouse driver. Even after that I installed it, the guest operating system still works, but it installs it again when I suspend and resume the virtual machine.

  Delete the file vmusbmouse.sys from the folder C:\Windows\System32\drivers and then find the folder C:\Windows\inf, hidden by default, the oemN.file file, where N on oemN is a number containing vmusbmouse.inf and remove it and the file oemN.PNF corresponding in the C:\Windows\inf folder.

  Also delete the folder C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\vmusbmouse.inf_*.

  This should prevent Windows to automatically install the driver for the vmusbmouse.
