• Cannot run VMWare Fusion on Mac 10.9.4 6.4

  I use Fusion for some time on my Mac (Mavericks 10.9.4). Recently, when I went to launch Fusion 6.4, I received this message:

  Cannot run VMWare Fusion

  VMware Fusion is damaged and cannot be repaired. Please move the VMWare Fusion application to the trash and reinstall VMWare Fusion

  So, I removed the merger application and downloaded again. When I installed it, I got the same message. Well, I thought that this must be one of these 'hidden' files, see you must be corrupt, so I used App Zapper to get rid of the merger and all files related; emptied the Recycle Bin, so merger was gone, gone, gone. Uploaded a new image, the same thing!  No matter what I do, I can't use Fusion. Suggestions?

  Do not use Zapper App - merger, running specific uninstall scripts.

  I've seen that occur when get-Gatekeeper confused about how something has been installed, when permissions are confused, or when a hard drive is running out.  If you have VMWare Fusion and have installed and it run under an administrator account (default in OS x unless you change it), then first use disk utility to first 'check disk' (if you want something better, look for smart voltains software utility), then repair permissions.  If this does not work, try to right click on the merger in the applications folder, and choose open.

• 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.

• Activate Wifi on Windows in VMWare Fusion on Mac

  I want to activate the Wifi in the operating system Windows 8 on Mac OS X 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion) in VMWare Fusion 5 to support the test and development of software, that I write that evaluates the available Windows Wifi access points.

  I know how to activate the Windows Zero Configuration Service (ZCS) via sc config or services.msc , but the Wifi is not a type of connection available.

  I tried to run VMWare Fusion with various 'Network Adapter Settings', including:

  • Share with my Mac
  • NAT
  • Bridged (automatic detection)
  • Bridged (Wifi)

  Windows 8, regardless of what I do, tells me that there is no wireless network adapters.

  How do I enable Wifi in Windows 8 in VMWare Fusion on a Mac so I can scan to card Wifi and connect/disconnect at will?

  Thank you!

  VMware is only a map of Ethernet network wired to the guest regardless of the type of network adapter in the host OS.  If needed/wanted a WiFi adapter in the comments then you will need to provide your own, like a USB WiFi network adapter.  Network adapter WiFi integrated host cannot / will not be seen in the comments.

• VMware Fusion is not supported on this type of Mac (6.03 / 10.9.2)

  Hello

  After update VMware Fusion last updated, I can't open application.

  You cannot open the application "VMware Fusion" is not possible on this type of Mac.

  VMware: 6.0.3

  OS X: 10.9.2

  How can I fix?

  Thank you

  I assumed that since things worked very well with VMware Fusion 6.0.2 that it was merge that you are prompted to update and you did it through merger strictly said, which is correct?  If Yes, I download the installer of VMware Fusion website of VMware 6.0.3, remove the "/ Applications/VMware Fusion" App and then install from the downloaded installer.

• 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.

• Mode of the unit still does not work in VMWare Fusion?

  Hi all:

  I'm under VMWare Fusion (Professional Version 7.1.0 (2314774)) on Yosemite (10.10.2) and whenever I try to move in Unity mode, get this helpful message:

  For optimal compatibility, stop the compatibility level of the virtual hardware, virtual machine to the latest version and ensure that VMware Tools are up to date.

  I did the first part, do not understand the second part and when I tried to repair the VMWare Tools and restart... which did not help either.

  Any ideas?  I really miss unity fashion...

  Thank you

  Hi mprogers,

  Your installation has 3 retina displays, could you pls try the solution on this poster 5 update VMWare Fusion 7 / 3 displays not supported? to see if that helps?

  If not, pls attach your Jeff/Users / / Library/Logs/VMware Fusion/vmware - vmfusion.log and vmware.log inside your virtual bundle machine. Thanks in advance.

  BTW, if your guest operating system is windows 10, the unit may not work as a known bug.

• Problem USB 3 VMWare Fusion with Windows 7

  I'm French, so, if you want an English version of this post, just tell me. Thank you.

  Hello

  I pour unwanted VMWare Fusion on Mac to run a VM Windows 7 64 bit.

  I have an external hard drive USB 3 in 1 I'd like to be able to connect on Windows this.

  Very soon a USB 32 GB USB 3 will also appear and will be connected on it.

  However, unable to connect to my HARD drive.

  So I tried to download this type driver, but impossible.

  I have a popup to launch the driver installation that tells me that I don't have the required configuration.

  I tried activate in the support of USB 3 VMWare Fusion settings, but nothing helped.

  You would possibly solutions? Or have I something homis chosen?

  Thank you for your.

  Geetix.

  NB: I have a Macbook Pro 13 "Retina mid-2014.

  In the virtual machine under USB & Bluetooth settings > advanced options USB > USB compatibility: set it to USB 2.0 and then if it connects properly workaround it connect it to a USB2.0 Port on the host computer or use a USB 2.0 Hub between it and the Mac.  Also, just using an extension USB cable 2.0 could stamp it down to also be used as a workaround.

• Port sharing ethernet physycal between the Mavericks and Ubuntu using VMware Fusion

  Hi all

  I use VMware Fusion on Mac OS Mavericks 6.0.2, and I need to connect a physical device to manage using a Ubuntu 12.04 VM. In addition, the host computer is connected to a public network, using a Wi - Fi connection.

  I put the ip of the physical device by USB configuration, but I was unable to get by using ethernet or the guest or the host computer. I tried to configure the NIC of the NAT guest, as well as the bridge too. Nothing seems to work. I don't know if the virtual machine is able to handle the physical Ethernet port.

  Ideas for the configuration of the network device (NAT, bridget, etc.) or the ip configuration?

  Thank you very much in advance.

  Sorry, I left an important step.  You must also configure the host's Ethernet card to use a manual IP address in the same subnet assigned to the Virtual Machine and the sensor.

  1. connect sensor card via USB and set the IP address and subnet mask, disconnect USB.

  2. connect the sensor to the host (Mac) Port Ethernet card.

  3. in the Apple menu > Preferences system... > network > Ethernet > configure IPv4: manually, then set the IP address: and the subnet mask: properly.

  4. from the Virtual Machine settings > network adapter > Bridged Networking > Ethernet

  5. in the guest OS virtual machine to set manually the appropriate IP address and subnet mask.

  Example:

  The IP address of the host on the Ethernet adapter: 192.168.3.1 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

  Guest OS Ethernet adapter IP address: 192.168.3.2, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

  Sensor onboard IP address of the Ethernet card: 192.168.3.3, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

  In this example, the sensor Council will be addressable by the host or the guest to 192.168.3.3.

  BTW I just tested it using my Thunderbolt Display Ethernet with a normal cable (straight not crossed) RJ45 connected directly to a device addressable IP, VMware Fusion and a virtual Windows machine.  Although the same works with an Ubuntu VM as I have in the past also.

  This should work without any problem but make sure that the firewall or other security software on the host and guest are not blocking communications!

• How to copy of VMware Workstation 6.5.2 VMS in VMware Fusion?

  Hello!

  Sorry if this is a FAQ, but after a search, I couldn't find an answer.

  I am to evaluate VMware Fusion on my MacBook Pro.

  I started a live Linux CD is inside VMware Fusion, to confirm that my installation of merger works perfectly.

  However, now I need to copy some VM I made on VMware Workstation 6.5.2, to VMware Fusion.

  What is the best way to do it?

  I copied the directories for the virtual machine.  In Fusion, I tried to open the *.vmdk files directly, but they are not accepted as a valid file type.

  The operating system of the host VMware Workstation's kernel version 2.6.29, 64-bit Linux.

  The operating system of the host VMware Fusion is Mac OS 10.5.6.

  The BONES of the guests are varied.  I have a Windows XP virtual machine, a Linux virtual 32-bit and a 64-bit virtual machine Linux.

  What is the best way to copy of VMware Workstation, VMware Fusion?

  VMware Converter seems to be the best route to follow, but it seems destined only to installations of Windows, and it is also oriented towards P2V, do not copy an existing VM.

  Thank you!

  Josh

  Stop the virtual machines and close the workstation.

  A copy of the entire folders to your Mac.

  Perform the merge.  Open an existing virtual machine... Navigate to the vmx file.  You may need to edit the file to change the names of specific OS devices and/or file/PropertyPath, syntax.

• 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?

  John

  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!
