The Mountain Lion as a guest install fails - ml 10.8.2 host, Fusion 5.02

I tried to install a guest Cougar in Fusion 5.02 without great success.  Setup is starting to show the apple logo and icon driven for several minutes, then the screen doesn't tilt a grey 'none' sign (circle with a diagonal line) with animated icon and stay that way indefinitely.  I tried with 1 core, core 2 and core 4 and with everything from 2 to 8 GB of ram.

I also tried with and without graphic acceleration.

The host operating system is 10.8.2, running on a macbook pro w/retina / 2.6GHz i7 / 16 GB of RAM.

Someone has any advice on where to go from here?

Thank you

Jason

Hi Jason and welcome on VMware communities!

The symptoms you describe indicate that media that you install from are maybe faulty or poorly prepared.  What is the source media that you use?  Mount the media on the host, launch the Terminal host and run diskutil list.  The output of diskutil list should include something very similar to this one:

$ diskutil list Volumes/Mac\ OS\. Install\ ESD.
/ dev/disk3
#: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER
0: Apple_partition_scheme * disk3 4.8 GB
1: Apple_partition_map disk3s1 30.7 KB
2: Apple_HFS Mac OS X install ESD 4.8 GB disk3s2

$

See you soon,.

  • Director of HP with the Mountain Lion

    I recently bought a new MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, and although I have no problem using my MFP HP LaserJet Pro M1212n impression, I can not install HP Director, so can not scan, etc.. When I try to use the software disc to install and install the Director, he keeps returning an error message: I need the administrator privileges (which I have). Any advice to get the software installed on the Mountain Lion?

    Hi Don,

    Great to hear that the issue of AirPrint been resolved now!

    By your description, it seems more likely that only the printer has been installed and not the HP software.

    Try the following steps to install the Lion software and check if this may work:

    1. Go to System Preferences< print="" &="" scan="" and="" remove="" the="" current="">
    2. Go to System Preferences > security & privacy. Modify the security settings to allow to install all software (you may need to click the lock icon to allow changes).
    3. Download and install the software 10.7 below:

    4. After completing the installation I highly recommend allows you to change the default security settings...

    Now try to use the HP scanning application in the folder of Laserjet Application\HP.
    Although it was not tested and not for the OS, so it may work or may not be not and cannot be stable as expected, I personally have it stable software on ML with very satisfactory results...

    Kind regards

  • Can I put the Mountain Lion Snow Leopard?  Where can I download Mountain Lion?

    Can I put the Mountain Lion Snow Leopard?  Where can I download Mountain Lion?  I don't wan to upgrade all the way to El Capitan.  Some of my software may not be compatible.

    http://www.Apple.com/shop/product/D6377Z/A/OS-x-mountain-lion

    You should have a complete backup of your system before performing an upgrade. Given that, we risk minimum trying to El Capitan before adopting it. Instead of spending $20 on the Mountain Lion, when El Capitan is much higher.

    There are not many apps running in Cougar and El Capitan.

  • Update OS on my PowerMac of Cougar in the next update after the mountain lion. No El Capitan

    I'm looking to upgrade my Mac power Cougar 10.7.5 to the very next update OS after the mountain lion. I'll be able to update my PowerMac. It has been sitting on a year or some time so I used my mac pro, which is currently being updated to El Capitan. Ive updated to El capitan on my macbook pro since my programs I use don't work well. In the meantime, while I wait for my programs that I use to get to updates that are supported with El Capitan I use my PowerMac. In any case I'm looking to update the OS on my PowerMac.

  • AE CS6 updater crashing into the Mountain Lion

    Hello

    Have used CS6 AE 11.0.2.11 on Mountain Lion.

    Yesterday, I received a message telling me that an update was available, but when trying to install message was that she had not and that I should try again later.

    So I tried it again today and it has gotten insofar as a message telling me to close "Daemon crash Adobe" - which of course I can't find to close.

    So finally had to force quit the installer.

    I am able to continue to use 11.0.2.11, but I feel uncomfortable with these unresolved issues.

    Can someone get any light please?

    Thank you very much

    Restart your computer to make sure that all processes as the demon of the accident have stopped smoking. Don't start any application other than Adobe Bridge. In Adobe Bridge, choose Help > updates.

    You can also use the installation program manually, as Szalam mentioned. Follow the links here:

  • Version of Dreamweaver Cloud crashes at launch, the Mountain Lion 10.8.2.

    I recommend doing a clean uninstall, if you have not already, then re - install and update.

    By a 'clean' uninstall, I mean:

    1. Uninstall using the uninstaller (in/Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 / folder).
    2. After the uninstall is complete, check in / applications. If the folder Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 persists, drag it to the trash.
    3. Empty the trash, to make sure that nothing remains of Dreamweaver.

    Then open Adobe Application Manager (or go to creative.adobe.com/apps) to start the process of download/installation of Dreamweaver again.

    After installation, check if you can open the application.

    If you can, then go ahead and select help > updates (or just the section "Updates" of Adobe Application Manager) to install the latest updates.

    I upgraded my iMac to Mountain Lion overview of developers and Skype crashes. The audio parameters are constantly and errors in the display and I can't seem to let him use my headset USB most of the time. Generally, it crashes when making an outgoing call.

    I use Skype all day and had to set up another computer just so that I can make and receive calls. Very frustrating!

    Everyone has similar problems or have a fix?

  • How to install CS 2 the Mountain Lion?

    After the hard disk crash and I am reloading my CS versions on mac replacement. My original purchase total is CS2 CDs I have CS5 and 5.5 upgrades as well. Install Adobe CS2 disc now does not work because "power PC applications are no longer supported" any ideas on how to load CS2 so that I can add the CS5, 5.5 upgrades?

    No need to re - install your first full version. Each disc upgrade includes the complete program code. The serial number indicates the installer if it's a full version or an upgrade.

    Just install the CS5.5 upgrade, enter your CS5.5 upgrade serial number and then enter your serial number CS5 upgrade when you are prompted for the serial number of a longer early eligible version.

  • Bridge break with the Mountain Lion

    It's bad. I upgraded to Lion mountain and great, I'm very happy with it. No problem with Photoshop CS5 (cannot afford to upgrade immediately) and Illustrator CS4, everything works as expected. BUT... Bridge has completely refused to work and I'm panicing as I use almost every day.

    It will be open, but when you try to use it, it just hangs. All updates are installed as far as I know, and I'm desperate. Currently have sitting work and waiting to be done and I'm becalmed. All the necessary advice urgently.

    It seems that there is a compatibility problem running OS Lion mountain with Adobe Creative Suite Apps. Most crash on launch. Lightroom also seems to work and Photoshop and Bridge. Dreamweaver CS6 breaks down and I use this program all the time. I think I should go back to Lion. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Thank you all for the helpful answers. The problem was in fact a police problem. Apparently, the Library-Fonts folder contained bad fonts. I just took out them and CS6 now works perfectly.

  • The Lion Mountain Lion Server upgrade, then Mountain Lion Server

    Anyone successfully upgraded Lion Mountain Lion Server and then installed OS X Server in addition to this fusion 4.1.3?  I tried a few times (snap God for snapshots) to do over the weekend, but in vain. Mountain Lion seemed to install successfully more Lion Server, but when he tried to restart, restart failed with an error (just a generic error message was posted with no details on what the error was).  I even went so far as to turn off all server services and not allocate resources to Server services before installing Mountainn Lion, but that did not help all.

    I was able to upgrade properly Lion (not the version of the server) to Lion mountain with no problems, however.  Not sure why I can't installed on Server Lion Mountain Lion.

    Thank you.

    Hmmm... You can try to install the ML server first, and then run the migration wizard after it's done.
