VM seems to be in use

I am running VMWare workstation on a Windows 7 host 8. 8 GB of ram. AMD Phenom x 4 965 BE cpu.

A Linux vm with 4 GB of ram allocated resulted in a complete block of the computer while watching a Youtube video (24 min), totally insensitive machine and required a restart of the computer.

A ran a test memory on reboot - no error reported - a reboot of my computer and attempt to restart my VM linux has resulted in the following error:


This virtual machine appears to be in use.

If this machine is already in use, press the button CANCEL to not damage the it.

If this virtual machine is not in use, press the button to 'Take Ownership' to take possession of it.

The configuration file: L: Linux Virtual Machines/Pinguy114/Pinguy114.vmx

Button by pressing 'Take Ownership' fails with the message:

The virtual machine is used by an application on your host computer.

The configuration file: L/xxxx/xxx/xxx.vmx

The problem is "how the hell we get a machine in this State." I would greatly appreciate any help that can be given so that I can recover some fairly important data of this virtual machine.

As it's the second catastrophic failure that I had recently it seems to me that the concept of the virtual machine is not intended for a "production" environment, a simple concept where processes or systems can be tested for validity, but the virtual machine can be used to treat the actual data, which essentially destroyed the usefulness of virtual machines.

Hello
These are not absurd conditions - you get this message when:
-the virtual machine opens and more a workstation or VMplayer - Forum
-l' use of the last left .lck directories or files in the virtual computers folder - just remove them

    OK, you can still be installed. Check the start (Windows) menu or LaunchPad (Mac). If this isn't the case, you will need to reinstall with the media and the original serial number.

  • Project seems OK to iMove, using the part of the video is damaged.

    I created a project in iMovie. 10.1.1. everything looks and plays OK.

    It contains only clips and transitions, video camcorder and original sounds.

    It plays OK in iMovie.

    Using the shared file... translates into a corrupted mp4 file.

    I tried various resolutions, always the same result.

    Here is a screenshot of part of the video, which does not play, some static, some jerky movements.

    Thank you.

    Hello Tokyo,

    Thanks for the screen shot showing the corruption of the shared iMovie project. It is encouraging that the project plays well in iMovie, but we need to isolate what can happen here.

    Before you begin, it is always good to have up-to-date backups.

    OS X El Capitan: of alternatives for the backup of your Mac

    You have tested with different resolutions.  It also happens with different Compression and quality settings?

    If it works, it can get you an export but we should always isolate why these exports did not work.

    This happens with other projects?  If this isn't the case, then there is a problem with this project specifically.

    If you do not currently have another project to test with you can create a new little project for the test.

    iMovie (2013): create a new movie

    You can use the construction in camera to create new content, fees for the test.

    If the problem is with just the initial project, you can duplicate to troubleshoot a copy.  Duplicate project by clicking on it in the Finder and choose duplicate.

    That your project contains only clips and transitions, first to see if it is a question of transition by removing the (or half of them) and to share to see if it works now.  If it works, one of the deleted transitions is the question and you can begin to add to that their return to isolate.

    If it is not yet implemented with no transition, then it can be a problem of clip. As with transitions, take half and test.

    iMovie (2013): organize your events and projects

    Continue to isolate to refine the offending clip.  Then re - import fresh clip and test.

    Note to check 'the other half' if necessary, it may be easier to delete this test project and to reproduce the original again to continue his tests.

    If the problem occurs with all projects and then see if there is a problem with your user account settings by testing with another user account.

    How to test a question in another account on your Mac - Apple Support

    Test with a new project and see if it works with this new account.  If so, then there is a problem with your user account, and we need to clean up.

    1 open the ~/Library folder in your user account

    2. move anything in the files Caches and preferences that starts with com.apple.imovie on the desktop

    including the iMovie user specific files:

    iMove 2013:

    ~/Library/containers/com. Apple.iMovie.app

    ~/Library/caches/iMovie/

    3. search for and move plugins QuickTime of third party on the desktop:

    / Library/QuickTime /.

    Here's the Apple Codecs that do not need to be removed:

    /Library/QuickTime/AppleIntermediateCodec.component

    /Library/QuickTime/AppleMPEG2Codec.component

    4 restart the computer and test. If it works, you can remove the files from.  If no change, you can put the removed preferences by replacing the newly created files.

    If the problem occurs with the new user iMovie itself may need to be reinstalled.

    This may seem long, but the goal is to isolate which raises the question so we can fix it.

  • MD3000i seems to be only using 1 controller

    We had some problems lately with the disk performance in our VMware cluster. Our facility is:

    • 3 of Dell R610 running ESXi 5.1
    • 2 Juniper with 3 gigabit switches VLAN (1 for management, 2 for iSCSI)
    • 1 double Dell MD3000i controller
    After troubleshooting for awhile, I found that I could use SMcli to monitor the performance of the SAN. After that, the results were a little surprising as it looks like one of our controllers seems to be totally inactive. I took a screenshot of the results: (ignore the name of the storage array. It was previously used in a configuration of XenServer)
    My question is, how do I get it to where the two controllers act as a pair for optimal performance. I think there must be a way to have VMware hosts to take the shortest path for each controller to get the disk, is there not?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated that it was me left speechless for awhile and internet research has not received me very far.

    How do you carve up your virtual disks? The MD3k series uses a single controller as the owner of a virtual disk and the other controller is only for this virtual disk failover. That is why several virtual disks running (that spread between 2 controllers) is a better choice on a virtual disk of size unique max.

    Also; the MD3000i is not validated for vSphere 5.x. It's probably not the cause, but it is important to keep in mind if you plan to use it for production (in general, I would recommend not not to run production on this combo (MD3200i upgrade) or down to vSphere 4.1).

    It is also important to use 2 subnets and port 0 on both controllers on a single subnet and port 1 of both controllers in the other subnet. Then, each server should have 1 NIC in each subnet.

  • all my email addresses seem to be in use on ePrintCenter

    I try to save, and it says that my email address is in use.  I try to do a reset of password and it provides a pop-up error message saying to use an email address associated with an account.  I try to use the e-mail addresses and I get the same question.  I try to use different browsers without effect.  I tried to use my FaceBook account and that did not work either because I'm not registered.

    I think that this service needs a little work.  If the record is a major obstacle to the first use, not many people will use the service.

    Facebook login is no longer supported.

    It is very probably that you somehow a Snapfish account.

    To fix:

    1. go in the connection box

    2. under the blue sign in button, there are several icons - click the far right a (Snapfish)

    3. in the box that appears, click on password forgotten - a new window opens.  Enter your e-mail address, and then click ok

    4. check your personal email - there will be a temporary password.  Click on the link to change your password of Snapfish (make sure you have at least 6 characters, with a GOLD number one special charater)

    5. Once you have done this, go to the center of the ePrint - click the icon of Snapfish and connect.

    Note: I think you need to use the connection of Snapfish to enter your ePrint centre now... but I'm not positive on that.

    It seems you want to use iCloud photo library as an archive of photos. It was not intended for this use.

    iCloud Photo library FAQ - Apple Support

    It is designed to allow you to have full access to your library without having to choose which photos and videos you store on which devices because it connects to your library using iCloud to all your devices, you registered this service. You can choose the option to Optimize Storage iPhone, which will automatically replace your photos in full resolution with optimized for your phone free storage.  Such use allows to my 64 GB iPhone store more 18 000 photos and 877 videos with fast access on my iPhone and elsewhere, while occupying only 4.8 GB on my physical device. The library full resolution resumes of more than 112 GB of storage which I can access in iCloud.com, on my computer, or by requesting the download of contents of high resolution on my iPhone with that I will make.

    Otherwise, if this does not work for you, you can use other services, such as Dropbox, archive your library, so you can completely remove the photos from your iPhone. If you deleted pictures from your iPhone now, they would delete the iCloud photo library so that he be kept in sync as your Contacts or Notes.

  • I want to disable firefox 19 pdf viewer and use foxit in the browser without downloading.

    I tried two methods that I have heard so far to disable the new firefox pdf 19 viewr:
    -in total: config pdfjs.disable set to true
    -options > Applications > set display pdf application

    The problem: when I'm on the Foxit pdf viewing application, firefox automatically downloads the pdf file to open it in the separate application. Until firefox 19, application of Foxit reader will open in the browser. How can Foxit not having an add-on firefox, I disable the pdf viewer 19 firefox and use Foxit Reader to open PDF files as a new tab in the browser?

    To display the content in a Firefox tab, it generally takes a plugin. If that's not come with the main installer, it seems that you can use one of them:
