• 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?

  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!

• StarCraft 2 (Mac) crashes to VMWare Fusion

  I used VMWare Fusion on my MacBook pro with no problems for about a year. Recently I bought Starcraft 2 and after playing, my VMWare Fusion client (running with BootCamp volume, not a virtual disk) crashes with this error: "a serious error has occurred within your computer's OpenGL graphics drivers.

  Then he mentions that 3D acceleration will be switched off in VMWare.

  There is a button, but no matter how many times you press it, error dialog box pops up again, effectively making me lose all my data on Windows applications.

  Should I file a bug report? Don't know where to do it.

  INFO:

  VMWare version: 3.1.0

  Hardware: MacBook Pro Unibody 15 "

  Mac OS 10.6.4

  Running on VMWare: Windows XP

  For now I'll disable 3D acceleration in VMWare.

  Hello

  I think you hit an OS x 10.6.4 problem.

  See also: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1024814

  Is not exactly the same ratio, but there many similarities and you don't seem to operate 10.6.4 already... so I think you need to wait that apple sets. I'm waiting on a fix for this before I go to 10.6.4 myself.

  Hope this helps,

• Can I use an ORDINARY from Mac account to load a Boot Camp Partition?

  I read the following Article on loading a Boot Camp Partition to use as a Virtual Machine in VMWare Fusion:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1014618

  I understand that I need administrator privileges to load a Boot Camp Partition in VMWare Fusion.

  But can I use a REGULAR account (Non Admin), raise my admin privileges by entering a username Admin and the password and then load my Boot Camp Partition in VMWare Fusion?

  The Article seems to imply no. because it refers only to enter an Admin password.  There is no mention to enter an Admin username.

  Can someone confirm please if I can use an ORDINARY Mac account and load a Boot Camp partition in VMWare Fusion after entering a username Admin and the password.

  Or am I have to use MAC Admin account in the first place?

  When a non-administrator user accesses an Admin-level feature in OS x, the user is presented with a combination of user name and password to authenticate.

  Then, indeed, as long as you can type the user and passes an admin user, you should be able to use BootCamp with Fusion.

• VMware fusion 6 - Mavericks comment issue

  When trying to install the Mavericks as a guest in VMware fusion 6, I get a message "VMware Fusion is to create an install image bootable for installing Mac OS X continues." when the drag and drop my Mavericks Mac download in VMware Fusion. Should I answer to save disc Image (in VMware Fusion)?

  Thank you.

  You have two choices, you can click on cancel or Save the Image disc... and the choice is your doing!

  BTW, at the present time, the Mavericks Installer.tool create which is a part of VMware Fusion 6 does not create a good disk Image install and they know and are working on a fix for it.  One of the questions is the Recovery HD is not created.  While I have not tried using FileVault in a Virtual Machine OS X 10.9 I think it's too broken as a result of incorrect setup created.

• Please help - my version of VMware fusion is to old to be upgraded. If I buy the new version can I transfer my existing set up?

  So I installed my Mac at El Captian & annoyingly my version of VMware fusion (5.0.3) is no longer supported and will not open.

  Even more annoyingly VMware fusion offer upgrades to the new version for those who use the version 6 or later.

  In any case, big question if I buy the new version is there a way I can still access my current setup?

  Would like if someone could let me know. I am self employed & I've got software out there that are vital for work :/

  Hello

  Welcome to the VMware communities forum.

  There is no problem with the Fusion 8 recognizing of your virtual machines to Fusion 5 (or more), it will go just pick up where you left off.

  There are a few borderline cases, as it officially you should have your virtual machines closed and not suspended and preferably without clichés before upgrading to a newer version of the merger. However, in practice I saw real topics with that either.

  Note that it is recommended to backup your virtual machines before going any further. Do this by copying them to an external drive (not dependent on time machine for backups of virtual machines) and then disconnect the drive.

  You can start using on Fusion 8 for 30 days trial period, simply download it from here:

  Try VMware Fusion or Fusion Pro. Run Windows on a Mac without rebooting.

  Once it works as you want, simply assign the license to the merger to change it in the full licensed version.

  Hope this helps,

• 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.

  In summary...

  This problem was initially detected on iMac and MacBook:

  Mavericks

  Fusion 6.x

  Windows 7

  The ultimate resolution iMac and MacBook:

  Yosemite

  Fusion 7.1.1

  Windows 8.1

• A product key from an old computer can be used for vmware fusion on a new mac?

  We used to own a Dell computer with windows XP Professional OS. Lately, we have switched all of our Mac computers and no longer use the old windows computer. I have the product key for this OS and I was hoping to use the CD of windows XP on VMware fusion and relocation (in order to play video games). So far, the installation was almost a success until it would not accept the old operating system product key. Is there a way to get a new product key?
  PS The only purpose is for the PC games we have.

  can I get another free product key? I still have the old computer

  you need to know if the old pc had an O E M version of windows, because

  windows OEM versions are locked to the motherboard of the PC they where first installed at.

  If the product key you have is from a version marketed Windows (non oem) you can install the version on another pc if you take away the first pc.

  in other words, a version on a pc at the same time.

  You should check with the microsoft Web site dealing with pirated software and product keys.

• Can I migrate existing Win7 Pro VM since the VCenter for MAC OSx 10 using the Migration Assistant from PC and VMWare Fusion 4.0 and

  I have a P2V to ESX virtual Center successful and is not passed to my MACBook Air with Lion 10 and using VMWARE Fusion 4.0?

  I keep getting errors of failure while trying to use the PC Migration Assistant within the virtual machine and the MAC is using the Migration Wizard in the Fusion 4.0 and MAC begins the process, it keeps saying that it is impossible to write the file to the folder I chose on the local Documents of the MAC hard drive.

  Please inform, all the firewall settings are disabled on both sides, and file sharing is enabled on the MAC, including Windows SMB for the profile folder / I am tempted to write to...

  Simply copy the vmx and vmdk of this virtual machine via scp or any equivalent to the mac

  you don't need the Migration Wizard

• VMware Fusion 7 and VMware Tools - leak memory in Debian comments

  At some point during my updates from Mac OS X to Yosemite, VMware Fusion to 7.x and my Debian a guest to 8.0 "Jessie" on my 2012 Mackbook Pro, leaking memory of the Linux kernel is developed.  If I follow these steps, then I'd lose soon about 3 GB memory of the core area.

  1. Install Debian Jessie in a new machine virtual de VMware Fusion
  2. Install open-vm-tools or VMware Tools bundled.
  3. Perform an intensive IO as operation simply cat/dev/zero |-c 1000000000 head >/tmp/test.txt.
  4. Smem - wtk and see ~ 3 GB memory under the dynamics of the kernel memory, benefit.

  I opened the 15709682007 assistance request and the representative said that they will fix the problem in a future release. In the meantime, I have what seems to be a workaround for someone else that is affected.  Basically, pulling packages from backports jessie seems to have solved the problem.  This is based on the comments added to open-vm-tools.

  1. Add the Debian repository -backports jessie in /etc/apt/sources.list
  2. sudo apt - get update; sudo apt - get install t Jessie-backports open-vm-tools-dkms open-vm-Tools-Office
  3. sudo apt - get - t jessie-backports dist-upgrade (install kernel 4.1)
  4. Restart comments

  A few quick thoughts:

  1. If you have several virtual machines (or other programs) running on your computer host and VMware Fusion detects that there is memory pressure on your host computer, it uses the "balloon" (vmw_balloon for the latest distributions of Linux) Guest pilot to fly some memory of the guest OS.  This memory "stolen" would appear as memory Dynamics non-cache kernel inside the guest.  Running "sudo rmmod vmw_balloon" should release all memory climbed to the guest OS.  Note that using the balloon driver generally improves the performance of the guest and host, despite the appearance of fear "used memory" inside the guest-"used memory" is just a thing of accounting that we had to use in order to change the priority of the memory between the host and the guest.  It is not "used" in the conventional sense of the term.

  2. I believe that recent versions of virtual hardware non-cache dynamic kernel allocate the necessary memory for SVGA and 3D features (display RAM, texture RAM, etc.).  Disable graphic 3D acceleration or by reducing the amount of graphics shared memory if you are using a new version of virtual hardware (both in the VM > settings... > display) might help.  Decommissioning of a virtual equipment as early (in the VM > settings... > compatibility) can also help.

  See you soon,.

• VMware Fusion Yosemite 7 comments stuck on 1024 x 768

  I am running VMware Fusion 7 in OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 with OS X Yosemite 10.10 as my guest operating system.  However, the only display resolution, I can get is 1024 x 768!  Someone know how I can get a better resolution?

  My Mac host is as follows:

  -iMac 27 inches from the end of 2009

  -2.8 GHz Quad - Core Intel Core i7

  -A SATA 2 to drive

  -16GB 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM

  -ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB (2560 x 1440)

  Thank you

  Did you manually install VMWare tools in the comments?

• 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.

• VMWare Fusion for Mac - how much space HARD drive is my virtual machine taking?

  So, I am running VMWare Fusion on my MacBook Air, and I'm under low HARD disk space.  My Mac storage utility tells me that I have a ton of capacity used in the 'Other' bucket.  According to me, this bucket is where live VMWare Fusion.  As I understand it, technically, my complete operating system of Windows (including all files) is contained in a single file on the Mac side.  Is this correct?  Is it possible to see what capacity takes up my whole Windows Operating System (Virtual Machine)?  I hope this makes sense.  Thanks in advance for your comments!

  No, it's not correct!  A Virtual Machine is composed of many files and folders according to how it configured and used.  On a Mac if created natively by VMware Fusion using values by default so all the files that make up a virtual machine are in all of the Virtual Machine that is structurally nothing more then a regular folder except the extension .vmwarevm, it is treated differently by the launch in OS X Services.  Take a look on: work with Virtual Machine packages

  The files that make up the Virtual Machines from Windows/Linux systems and other places my being in simple ordinary folders.

  Is it possible to see what capacity takes up my whole Windows Operating System (Virtual Machine)?

  You can also see statistics for a given Virtual Machine by selecting Virtual Machine in the library because it displays size information, as well as on the General form of a virtual machine; s parameters.  Or look in the Finder and see the release of Get Info for the packaging of the Virtual Machine or the folder that contains the files that make up the Virtual Machine.
