  I installed Windows XP in VMware Fusion 3 on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.2. Text is not as sharp as it would be on a Windows machine. This is particularly noticeable when I compare websites in Fire Fox in VMware to the same site on Fire Fox in OS X I have the same problem in Word, Excel and ACT!

  On a Windows computer simply press the print key (sometimes shown as Prnt Scrn) screen and this places a copy of the office to the Clipboard, and then you can paste it into Paint (start > run > mspaint) and save it as a .jpg file.

• How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

  How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

  I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.

  Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer

  I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.

  (1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?

  (2) what happens if I would have said yes?

  (3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.

  All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.

• Satellite M30X-129: recovery CD can be run from an external drive?

  My wifi seems to have packed - recognizes nearby wireless networks but does not connect to them - so I will try to use the recovery disk product in the hope that it will bring back wifi.

  However, the DVD Multi drive does not work - light flashes to indicate some sort of activity, but no drive appears in my computer. I think that if I buy the external drive, I can run the product recovery disc for this.
  Is the drive Toshiba external DVD SuperMulti (PA3454U-1DV2) compatible with the Satellite M30X - 129 P - M 735? Product recovery can be run from an external drive (bootable?)?

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  Hello

  According to this page of Toshiba, the drive is compatible with your device:
  e http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/options_and_accessories_search_by_model.jsp?servic = 1 = us & selSeries & selFamily = 2326 & SelCategorie = 2319 & family = 2326 & selP roduct = 98795

  The fact is that only the boot device options available: USB-drive floppy/disk HARD/ODD/LAN
  I know you can only boot from external CD/DVD drive if the device supports this option and the unit.
  In my opinion be100% sure you should ask ASP for advice.

  But know one other question: do you have you boot from the restore CD to recover the operating system?
  If you want to recover the operating system, you have to start on this CD and do not run it under Windows. Check it out

• IPhoto migration from an external drive: stuck with hard links to the external hard drive

  I got my IPhoto library on an external drive. To migrate to pictures, I dragged the IPhoto (on the external hard disk) file to the Photos icon.

  Migration went well, but instead of importing data to the external hard drive to my macbook, Photos stored links on the external drive. Now whenever I start the Photos, the system tells me it takes the external drive to view the contents of the library.

  To resolve this problem, I tried to copy my IPhoto library on my macbook and redo the import. It does not work: Photos, said the library has been upsized already (I noticed that the IPhoto library has been renamed 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary')

  Is it possible to reverse the migration or mark the IPhoto library as not yet migrated? Any other suggestions?

  Thanks for your help!

  Rename the copy of the iPhoto library on your internal drive to 'iPhoto Library.photolibrary '.  Then drag the library renamed on the Photos icon and pictures will create a new photo library on your internal drive.

• Win XP virtual machine can write to an NTFS external drive?

  Hello

  I bought VMware Fusion to play a WIN XP on my Mac.

  I am aware that a Mac can read but not write to an NTFS external drive.

  But can the virtual machine XP write without problem on a NTFS external drive or has the same limitation as the host machine?

  Thank you very much.

  Bar Tomás

  An external USB disk can be connected ("attached") to a virtual machine once that the host (OSX) has ejected ("freed from the control of ') same USB. This means that all partitions will be completely controlled ("read/write") by the virtual machine guest operating system.

• A program can be copied to an external drive, uninstalled and reinstalled using the file?

  It was my understanding that after you uninstall a program, it is not possible to recover the files 'installation' disappeared, and you must re-download it. However, I copied the program files (except Program Files (x 86)) of a game on an external hard drive and then uninstalled the game. All that remained was the shortcut. I then copy - paste the external hard drive program files in the Program Files (x 86) folder on my computer, double click on the shortcut and it worked fine.

  So if I had to wipe my hard drive after copying my WHOLE Program Files (x 86) folder, could I then put back on and all my programs would work? Help, please.

  Hello

  Lol that is only a few minor, mainly previous games in XP, etc, that you could do with.

  Normally, programs need to be reinstalled from the original media (CD, DVD, etc.)

  When you install a program, its files are not normally only put into the folder programs, but they are distributed in all the operating system, in the registry and in conjunction with other program files so that they can work together, if necessary.

  See you soon.

• VMware Fusion 5.02 - Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS - vfat external HD

  Host: VMware Fusion on Mac OS 5.02 X Lion 10.7.5.

  Comments Server Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on VMware Fusion 5.02

  I get a hd on linux vfat and share it on the local network.

  It works great but:

  When I have to suspend the prompt, the system only umount the drive properly.

  The system says that ther an error in the script suspends even if I apply this hack:

  http://communities.VMware.com/thread/417724

  I try to use aliases in rc.d and script in but if fails.

  Another big mistake is the following: after the resumption, the usb device (initially present in/dev/sdb) come on in/dev/sdc, and obviously samba and netatalk lose all links.

  Is it possible to use an external hard drive with vmware and share it on the local network with services like samba, netatalk, apache...?

  Thank you all!

  In my tests, I see two errors:

  (1) it was impossible to start virtualmachines headless and without host connection, if the .vmwarevm is stored on an external volume

  (2) if I connect to a host computer (for maintenance, for example) and after I disconnect from the host, the virtual machine closed in very bad way.

  I hope I'm more clear before and thank you very much for your suggestions, they are very helpful!

  I did hear that your op just had no time to address but want to raise the issue of Time Machine.

  FWIW in VMware Fusion although we can leave a virtual machine without head vmrun however I don't think that it is officially fully supported and certainly not the case when you run a Virtual Machine as a Service, so to speak, by starting it before or without logging in.  Having said that I'm not saying it's impossible, just that since the intention of VMware Fusion is a consumer product, it was not designed to be used in this way, although to a certain extent, it can.   So expect to have problems and still maintain good backups of VMS as it relatively easy to trash a VM running headless as a service or not.

  Your number 1 is logical because I don't think that not bootable external Volumes are normally mounted before the user login, even if never didn't have the need to test and see if they were or when during the process startup, they are mounted.   Have you tried a solution to mount a volume prior to the opening of session and before starting the virtual machine without head of script?  BTW so I haven't tried it and so cannot tell whether it is doable, but I would be surprised it wasn't.

  A time, I wrote running a VM headless (no GUI) and the command Shutdown / Suspend with Mac OS X Reboot/Shutdown but I have not updated to take account of all the debates in the thread if you need to read the full thread.  Using the information here I have tried to add code to mount the external volume before first starting the virtual machine without a head.

  As for number 2, time where I was using a VM without head began before connecting, I had no problem, if I need to connect to something else and then log out and have the VM without head still works well so I don't know what to say or what I can offer without being able to test under the exact usage scenario you are employing.  Unfortunately, I have other things I want to do then do test on this issue since I don't currently have a need to run headless or would do so (run headless) from an external source.  And I don't see a future need for me.

  That said, if you invent a solution I encourage you to share so if others have the same need, they can benefit from your efforts.

• HELP: VMware Fusion does not open a virtual machine

  Hi *.

  suddenly, I had a big problem with merging om Mac OS X 10.6. If I try to boot my virtual machine by opening the .vmx file, merger tells me that is is not possible to open, because it's a file "Steinberg VST mixer Stettings. Steinberg is installed and MAC OS brand all the file .vmx as 'Steinbergfiles '. But in fact the content of the .vmx file is my virtual machine configuration.

  Advice how to convince to use my config file and start my VM fusion are welcome. I already tried to change the type of file in this folder to a text file, but it did not help.

  Thank you

  RobiTobi

  the file extension has been hijacked by another application.  Right-click and choose open with, and then VMWare Fusion.    You can work around this problem by changing the name of the virtual machine at the end of .vmwarevm folder, and then double-click that instead of the vmx file (OSX only lets you have several apps to easily open the files automatically with the same extension)

• IE does not not in VMWare Fusion

  I can't get IE to work in VMWare Fusion. I can get Firefox to work properly. I can't get IE to connect. I'm in bridged mode. A couple of applications I need to run to job working only with IE. Any suggestions?

  If Firefox (or any other application) has internet connectivity, it certainly isn't a problem and instead merger, the cause is somewhere in the comments; You must troubleshoot the virtual machine as if it were a physical computer. One thing to check would be any settings of proxy who use IE that Firefox is not (or vice versa).

  Hello.

  I have an iMac 24 and run Vista. (latest updates)

  I've just updated to version 2.02 of VMware Fusion (147997).   On startup, I get the following message:

  File "/ Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/isoimages/antivirus.iso ' does not exist and therefore cannot be connected as a CD-Rom image.

  Device disconnected virtual ide1:0 will start.

  I select ok and 'everything' turns on and seems in good condition.

  If someone had this error, and if so what is different from the previous revision, which is the cause? In addition, this means?

  TIA

• How can I initialize with a previous osx of the external drive?

  About 4 years ago I installed Snow Leopard on an external drive while I was running Snow Leopard on the main drive. I wanted to load a lot of video on this player to be able to use the version of Snow Leopard of iMovie when I updated the main drive. However, when I upgraded to the Mavericks (recently in Yosemite), he would list is no longer the disc of Snow Leopard when I pressed down option. And when I went to preferences/Startup and chose to start with Snow Leopard, it would not be completed the boot process.

  If I use disk utility and create a partition to use for initializing with Snow Leopard, space-how much should I assign this partition? The external drive is 1 t and it is full of 50%.

  Also, I have a 500 GB internal drive I removed a Mac deceased and put in an envelope. There are also Snow Leopard. After the partition is created, can I exchange the two external drives to be used on the same partition? What I want to do with the box HD's boot up with it, then install Mountain Lion.

  I want to give to anyone who helps me the credit, but I have 3 questions under one heading. Is there a way to get triple credit?

  I'm starting to get lost with all these drives, partitions and 4 versions OSX.

  I wonder what happened to your old Snow Leopard.  You always use the same computer that you used with Snow Leopard? A Mac can start only in the operating system with which it is originally came or newer.  Your profile information from computer to the bottom of your post mentions a 2012 MacBook Pro which is not a Snow Leopard machine.

  How much space depends on how you'll use it and how you configure.  I would like to make at least 30 GB so there is a little space, wiggle but if you start to install the applications then 60 + GB.

  I know most recent disk utilities are supposed to be able to resize partitions without erasing but I'll make sure you have solid backups first.

  You can assign a 'resolved' and two "helpfuls".
