'Open the connection' VM on external drive does not always open when connecting

Hello community,

I have a MacBook Pro with 10.6.8.  For technical reasons, I can't upgrade to a newer version of Mac OS X.  I have a license for VMware Fusion 2.x and I'm using the latest version of VMware I am legally authorized to use, 2.0.8.  For technical reasons, I have to stay with what are free upgrades I have the right to use.

I have a guest to Solaris that resides on an external drive.  I want to make sure this guest operating system starts when I connect the MacBook Pro.

In the finder, I put VMware fusion as "open at Login".

In the library of VMware, I put the to Solaris comments for "Open when VMware Fusion begins.

Sometimes the comments of Solaris OS * fact * start automatically, sometimes it does not.  Can someone help me make sure it * still * starts?  I'm not yet able to determine why he still does not start.

Thank you

Ed

If Fusion launches before the external drive turns and rises in the finder, it will not see the virtual machine and does not start.  Launch of Fusion manually or power cycle external drive so there ' hot' before you start.

  • folder on the external drive does not open in a new window

    on iMac OS 10.10.5, when I open a folder (by double-clicking) on an external drive, the folder does not open in a new window, but in a window that replaces the window that was opened.  I looked for a system setting that controls this (in system PREF), but I couldn't find anything useful.

    If you control - click the folder there is an option to open in a new tab. I don't know of anyway to set up in system preferences.

  • Drive external DRIVE does not appear on my PC

    I have the old HDD on my PC that I put in an envelope so that I can get my old files and data of it.  It appears nowhere on my PC (and I tried all 6 USB port) but will show and work very well on my small 80 GB Dell Latitude D630.  The PC didn't it in Explorer, Device Management, disk management, or anywhere else that I can think to look for him.

    The scroll wheel is my printer.  Thing is it works perfectly if connected to my small Dell Latitude D630.  However, I can't use that to transfer files, because it is only 80 GB and less than 1 GB of available.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Just please don't forget when you give advice I'm 62 and computer illiterate!

    Just for that I'm sure I understand you, if you connect this drive to its external case to another computer, it is recognized and you can read/write in it.  Fix?

    The external enclosure has a power or it depends on the car on the USB port for power?

    When you connect or disconnect the drive, you can hear the Windows USB connect/disconnect sound?

    Disconnect all USB devices from your computer except a mouse and a keyboard.  Remove the CD from your CD player.

    Restart the computer.

    Connect the external hard drive.  Have you heard the sound of USB connection?  Any pop-up window appears?  If so, what was the message.

    Open Device Manager (click the start ORB, type "devmgmt.msc" (without the quotes) and press enter).

    1. Scroll through ALL the entries.  If there is NO entry showing a warning symbol, please provide the name of the device, and then double-click it and point out the text in the box under "device status".
    2. Expand the 'Readers' section by clicking on the arrow next to him.  Please list the entries in this section.
    3. Expand the 'USB Bus controllers' section.  Confirm that there is no element with warning icons (if the list there please say so.)  There is an entry named "USB Mass Storage Device"?
    4. Is there a category named 'unknown devices '?

    Click on the start ORB, then click "devices and printers".

    1. What items are in the top category (Smart Devices)?
    2. Are there subjects described as "unknown"?

    When you click on the link in the "Method 1" from Sondhi Ashishearlier post, you should see this:

    If you saw that and clicked the button 'Run now', you should have then seen this page:

    Assuming you've got until now, click on the link "Problems with devices and equipment" (or one of the problems with the devices and printers; I think that they do roughly the same thing).   Run the troubleshooter.

  • The previous computer's internal drive does not appear on the current computer
