Share a drive between the Mac desktop & VM

Hello

When I plug in an external USB disk on my Mac, I can choose to connect the Mac or virtual machine.

It's windows to format so it is only read when I chose the Mac.

Unfortunately, when I choose the virtual machine, the drive disappears from my Mac desktop computer.

Would it not be possible to maintain the drive accessible from 2 systems and also be able to write directly on it via the Mac Finder?

Thank you

No, a physical device can be attached to an operating system at the same time - if your host or a guest.

If you want to be able to read/write of these two at the same time operating systems, you will need to use the network file share.  Create a folder on the disk and inside the VM guest, attach to the network share you created.

    Is it possible to have the VMware fusion virtual disk appears as a hard drive on your mac desktop, so you can browse the files of the virtual disk of the Mac operating system?

    I connect to the shared Windows resources on both physical and virtual machines from my Mac and it is immaterial that the target physical or virtual as the same rules and or methods apply and as I said before it is covered in the two operating systems help files and this isn't really a matter of the merger itself.

  • 8.5.1 LabVIEW Student Edition - differences between the Mac and Windows versions?

    Hello

    I just bought the student of LabVIEW 8.5.1 version and I use Mac OS X 10.4.11. What are the biggest differences between the Mac and Windows versions, since the box came with a CD of installation of Mac and a Windows DVD Installer?

    See you soon

    Looks like you got the LabVIEW Student Edition Software Suite DVD.

    It comes with 6 boxes to tools, and the TME product, some (or all?) of those who are windows only (at least 8.5), for example:

    • Toolkit Digital Filter Design
    • Modulation Toolkit
    • SignalExpress
    • ...

    Since you have 8.5, you are missing also a few basic things that only recevied at the 8.6MAC support, like Mathscript, Control design and Simulation and native 3D graphics.

  • U2415, around the gap between the Windows desktop and the edge of the monitor (bezel)

    Hello

    I have a Dell Ultrasharp U2415. I've read all the FAQS and I know I have to perform the SUBMISSION, but before doing so, I just want to know if it is normal to have a gap between the Windows desktop and the edge of the screen. If the Windows desktop is not covering or fill the entire screen. There all around the smaller than a 1/4 "gap between the edge of the windows desktop on the edge of the bezel of the monitor, and this model has almost no bezel. The graphics settings in Windows 10 are set to use the native resolution of 1920 x 1200 monitor. I tried with different computers (all windows 10), and the drivers are up to date. The monitor is connected via HDMI since I don't have portable computers not with DP interfaces. Laptop computers have Intel and ATI video cards. I have check the put option to scale on the video card software and it is set to 100%. So, is this gap normal? Is the edge Office Windows 10 supposed to touch the physical edge of monitors?  If the gap is not normal, I will perform the integrated test.

    TIA!

    Based on the YouTube comments, which seems to be normal. "But you must run the APPLICATION to see if the"smaller than 1/4"gap" appears. If Yes, then we can say that it is normal. If this is not the case, then some settings of the operating system is the culprit.

  • 4.1.1 fusion erases files on the Mac desktop that are deleted in Fusion

    I have merge 4.1.1 installed on a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8.  If I download a file on the Mac desktop and then drag and drop it on the desktop of Windows XP which runs under Fusion, a box of "copy" just stating that the file is copied to the virtual machine.  If the file is 95MB, for example, copy the area shows the progress of the 95MB copy to the VM.  So far so good.  At the same time, a file is created on the Mac desktop which is a duplicate of the file slipped to the virtual operating system of Windows.  If I trash the file on the Mac desktop, it removes the file on the Windows desktop as well.  I-mode installation of VMware Fusion full screen and have a second monitor on the Mac, where I've been the VMware virtual machine.

    It's as if the file on the desktop Mac was in fact the only real file and one on the virtual machine has been a 'shortcut' or 'alias' in the file.  Not sure if I just something I have to change in the settings of merger to prevent this, or if this is normal behavior.

    It seems that you have enabled the functionality of records at the Office for this Virtual Machine VMware Fusion mirror.  Check the settings of records in reverse in the Virtual Machine settings and uncheck the box office under folders in reverse.

  • Pilot of sharing between the computer desktop (Win 7) and laptop (Win Vista)

    I want to share a driver containing data on my desktop (Win 7) files with a laptop (Win Vista Home Basic) through a router. I did as follows: click with the right button on the driver to share > share > sharing > advanced sharing > add "everyone" in the list name. A share icon appeared then on this driver (the driver is able to share with all the world connect to my desktop). But he denied when I tried to access this driver for my laptop. I have already disabled the protection password to the "network and sharing Center" on my desktop. Is it necessary to do more installation in office and cell phones?

    Hello

    An access denied error message may occur for one or more of the following reasons:

    • The folder property can be changed
    • You do not have the appropriate permissions
    • The file can be encrypted

    Problems to work on files and folders in Windows can be caused by permissions issues, or even corrupt corrupted user accounts. These problems often occur after the upgrade to another version of Windows, connection to other computers on a network or even simply plug an external hard drive to your computer.

    Perform the steps mentioned in the article and check the results. Make sure that you have taken ownership and read the sections 'number 1' as suggested in the article.

    "Access denied" or other errors in the access to or work with files and folders in Windows

  • You can use an external hard drive with the Mac Mini?

    I've seen videos that say that we cannot increase the ram on a min of Mac, but I'm curious if this works like an ordinary computer, if we can attach an external hard drive to store some of the memory to free up space. Sorry if this is something stupid just need to know what I can do with it.

    You can use an external hard drive to boot and run with any Mac. Its not going to improve or replace your ram. If you use a mechanical hard drive in any Mac then help and boot from an external drive, especially if it's a SSD will be significantly faster.

  • How to share a variable between the Mathscript Windows and a Mathscript node

    Hello

    I'm trying to share (just) a variable between the Mathscript Windows and a Mathscript node. I don't know why, but the use of the "global" Matlab function makes the mathscript node output formats change.

    I'm looking for a "Mathscript RT V9.0.1 module" as it may seem, there is. French technical support have some difficulty to find...

    Hi patrick33,.

    The code that you have attached should not report an error, so it seems that something has gone wrong with your installation of MathScript. My best guess is that it is the problem that is described in this knowledge base article. Your signature says that you use f3 patch, which is a good start. But the KB lists some other steps to take when you see errors about MathScript, impossible to compile. Can you try the procedure described in the article and let us know if that fixes the problem?

    Thank you

  • How to get to Lightroom to start the synchronization again of the Mac desktop application?

    Lightroom stopped syncing my iPhone and iPad two days ago. After you add about 15 photos to a folder sync they would still show the synchronization in the desktop application after more than two days (3 points under the arrow on the way into the upper right corner of the thumbnail). When I go to view on the Web that are not in the web view so I'm almost certain that the pictures do not out of office. If create a new synchronization would be the folder on the desktop, the file syncs on IOS devices, but none of the photos in the folder are synchronized.

    I tried but doesn't work:

    • Create new folders and synchronize them
    • Put "Link with Lighrtoom Mobile" / off voltage
    • Identify yourself or/preferences
    • Lightroom (which displays a message that phots are syncin) to exit and restart
    • Restart the Mac.
    • Remove and reinstall Lightroom

    I'm on OSX 10,9.3.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Guido,

    Last night after I posted my question, I found another thread where you said to delete sync.lrdata. I did and that fixed my problem.

    On Mac, it's to /Users/Library/Caches/Adobe/Lightroom/Sync Data / Sync.lrdata

    I spent a lot of time on this hunt. I would like to know as it's much more accessible from the main page of the help.

    Thank you
