• Failed to open session in Windows 7 'could not load user profile.', in VMware Fusion 7.0 after upgrade to Yosemite

  I upgraded my Mac Pro in OS X Yosemite 10.10. Before the upgrade, I did a normal shutdown of Windows and VMware Fusion 7.0.0. I also checked first for updates from VMware and was up to date.  After completing the upgrade, I restarted VMware and subsequently started to Windows. Shortly after entering the password to logon to Windows, I received the following error message "the service user profile Service has no logon. The user profile cannot be loaded. "My only option is to click OK, then it seems to re-start Windows, but I'm stuck with this result every time. I restarted the Mac with no variation in the result. Before the upgrade to Yosemite, I have not had any problems. Any help is appreciated.  Thank you.

  I found my answer for someone who is interested.  This isn't a Yosemite or VMware problem.  That's all just a fault which occurred during logon more likely an anti-virus on Windows running in the background.  There is a fairly simple solution be found on the Microsoft support site, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215

• VMWare Fusion, unity, OSX Lion, Windows 7 and no toolbar

  Hello

  I have recently updated to os x Lion. I directed a 2009 MacBook Pro with 4 GB of RAM.

  I tend to run Windows 7 64 bit in Unity mode, after logging in to Windows. Windows 7 is run from a Boot Camp partition.

  Position the toolbar of Windows on the right side of the screen. When I was with Snow Leopard, the toolbar always released Windows it when using the unit. Now, the lion, the Windows toolbar is nowhere more.

  I can still use the unit by clicking on the Boot Camp icon on the toolbar of OSX, but access to the Windows toolbar would make life easier.

  All the world has noticed this problem?

• Upgrade to Mountain Lion, but CS6 questions about Auto-Save need answers...

  Hello

  I am the Mountain Lion to all my "non-critical work, but I am still under the last Snow Leopard on my main desktop computer, running CS6 Design & Web Premium. I avoided the switch primarily because of the automatic backup feature that Apple placed in ML. I have not found a satisfactory answer anywhere on the web to this fundamental question... is auto-save a problem, like Apple, implements with CS6 and work on images?

  In particular: 1. I regularly work on very large files, 4 GB + size, and I don't wan't the peformance hits associated with constant economy, 2. I make changes to the images, numbers, cropping, color correction, etc., so that I can prove to jpg for clients or myself. More images 'intermediate' and not planned to be saved. I don't want to downsample an image, flatten it in order to create a jpg for evidence and have it replaced the original image in layers, the high resolution by mistake. This happens with photoshop or Adobe don't avoid the auto-save that Apple uses?

  I have all the latest gadgets to iOS and it becomes heavy enough to manage multiple sets of iCloud info, etc without being on ML. I want to make the transition, but at the cost of loss of work, etc. Anyone with experience on ML & CS6 can give me any input on the matter? And this also applies to all other Adobe applications in CS6? I'm constantly doing minor changes and the changes that I usually have "undo" of and want not saved.

  Thank you.

• VMware Fusion 5 and upgrade to Windows 8-

  Hello

  I am trying to install a partition from Windows 7 to Windows 8 bootcamp. The installer is at 30% and dies. The error message is "Windows 8 installation doesn't have." The process stops and returns me to Windows 7.

  I ran the process a few times with the same results. I ran the upgrade wizard. He tells me about a secure boot is only not available and maybe I need to install an application to play DVDs on Windows 8.

  Someone at - it advice? Bit a noob to Windows stuff so apologies if I'm missing out some crucial information. I have had a look through the forum and could not see anyone have reported a similar problem.

• Updated to mountain lion VMWare Fusion3 does not

  OK, before anyone says that stupid, it was to be upgraded without checking compatibility please Don ' t bother. On the other hand, never knew a piece of software that does not allow you to upgrade even if such.

  Then spend useless wisdom, I'm stuck and would appreciate some advice.

  I upgraded to mountain lion, thinking that I can spend my VM directly afterwards. To my surprise, the VM Fusion icon has a no entry he sign with no option to upgrade. I need three of my virtual machines back to life, running VMware Fusion 3.1.

  I made a backup using my time machine, I don't like if I have to revert to my version of snow leopard OS just to the virtual machine working again or purchase an upgrade to Fusion 5. I don't know if one can bring back those VM.

  Please help, all my work is in those virtual machines.

  Thank you.

  > I have 3 VM created in Fusion 3.1, Ive upgraded my MAC to mountain lion (10.8.1), the upgrade of vmware will allow me to access my vm?

  The answer is Yes, but make sure you stop the virtual machine properly. (Do not force stop) As woody said, you can back up the virtual machine and give it a try on the trail of 30 days.

  > I updated to Fusion 5 because that's the only option I see available or what I need to improve some how to 4.1.3?

  Upgrade to Fusion 5 is preferred. With 49.99 to Profression 5 Fusion Fusion 3 standard is a good deal. If you switch to Fusion 4, you pay once to upgrade in the future. Why not use the latest version of the software directly with the same amount of money?

• Updated to Lion - VMware Fusion will not load VM

  I updated today to Lion and neglected if this would affect VMware Fusion. After the installation of Lion I was invited, at the start of VMware Fusion 2.x, that it was not compatible and must restart the OSX in 32-bit mode.

  Instead, I upgraded my version 2.x VMW 3.1.3 (416484)... While VMW 3.1.3 starts now I get the following error message:

  Cannot open the disk/users... Instant Boot Camp partition.vmarevm/Boot Camp partition.vmdk or one of the disks it depends on the reason: the specified file is not a virtual disk

  Please advise... have spent a few hours trying to solve this problem and I'm still looking at a brick wall...

  Thank you

  Someone else will have to offer advice on the question of whether 2.0.8 Fusion will work with Lion.

  Note: Alsoft ships DW on a bootable DVD that will boot Mac running Snow Leopard or earlier. He cannot start Mac that came with Lion or later preinstalled, however, DW will work on these models.

  Suggestions for OS X maintenance

  OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are supposed to take place on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Maintenance scripts that are run at the beginning AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep). If this isn't the case, then a great solution is to download and install a shareware like Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacronor Anacron utility that will automate the maintenance regardless of whether activity if the computer is off or asleep.  Dependence on third-party utilities to run periodic maintenance scripts has been significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have little or no functionality with Snow Leopard or later version, and must not be installed.

  OS X automatically defrags files smaller than 20 MB in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files it little need to defragment the hard drive.

  Under no circumstances should you install operating MacPaw or ZeoBit software (CleanMyMac/CleanMyDrive or Mac Keeper, respectively.) You don't need special software to keep your computer.

  Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click the Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If it stops your problem, then re-enable one by one until the problem returns. Now remove this extension as it is the origin of the problem.

  The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.

  Difficulty a few pop ups browser that supported Safari

  Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

  Quit Safari

  Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

  Relaunch Safari

  If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

  It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.

  An excellent link to read is Tom Reed Mac Guide of malicious programs.

  Also, visit the FAQ XLab and read of detection and avoid malicious software and spyware.

  If you need antivirus protection Thomas Reed recommends to use ClamXAV. (Thanks to Thomas Reed to this recommendation.)

  The user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:

  The facts are:

  1. There is no anti-malware software can detect 100% of malware out there.

  2. There is no anti-malware that can detect all targeting the Mac.

  3. the best way to prevent breaches the most is for you as the user is aware that

  the most successful malware attacks rely on sophisticated social engineering

  techniques preying on human greed, * and fear.

  4 Internet pop-up windows telling the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on

  your computer is designed to trick you into installing their malware thinking it's a

  protection against malware.

  5. some of the anti-malware market products are worse than malware

  go where they are supposed to protect you.

  6. be careful where you go on the internet.

  7. don't download anything from sites, you know are safe.

  8 avoid links that you receive in email, always be wary, even if you get something

  you think a friend is, but that you did not expect.

  9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume that it is malware.

  Troubleshooting Applications

  I recommend that you download a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaneror hiding a Cocktail that you can use to delete the former newspapers and archives, cleaning, etc. Corrupted cache, logs or temporary files can slow down the application or OS X crashes and panics of the kernel.

  If you have leopard snow or leopard, then for similar repairs install Applejackfreeware utility.  If you do not start in OS X, you can boot into single-user mode , where you can run Applejack to make a set of routines for repair and maintenance of the command line.  Note that it takes 1.5 AppleJack for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. Applejack does not work with Lion and later versions.

  Basic backup

  For some people, Time Machine will be more than enough. Time Machine is part of Mac OS X. There are two components:

  1. a panel of Time Machine preferences as part of the system of preferences;

  2. a request for Time Machine, located in the Applications folder. It's

  used to manage backups and restore backups. Time Machine

  requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the

  drive being backed up.

  You can also get an external drive at least equal to the size hard disk internal and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the disk utility's restore option. You can also create and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (the order is not significant):

  1 Carbon Copy clone

  2. get backup

  3 already seen

  4 superDuper!

  5. Synk Pro

  6. Tri-Backup

  Visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the backup and restore.  Also read How to back up and restore your files. For using Time Machine, visit FAQ Time Machine of Pondini for help with all this time Machine.

  Referenced software can be found at MacUpdate .

  Additional tips

  Make sure you have a sufficient amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run simultaneously. Make sure to leave a minimum of 10% of the capacity of the hard disk as free space.

  Add more RAM. If your computer less than 2 GB of RAM and you use OS X Leopard or later, then you can do it with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion works much better with 4 GB of RAM that is their system. Most concurrent applications, that you tend to use the more RAM you should have.

  Always have at least 15 GB, or 10% of the capacity of your hard disk as free space, the largest. OS X frequently accesses your hard disk, so offering enough free space will keep things slow down.

  Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:

  Before Mavericks

  Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select all processes in the drop process .  Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order.  If find you a process that uses a large amount of time processor (> = 70,) then select the process, and then click the quit icon in the toolbar.  Click the force quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.

  Mavericks and later versions

  Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select all processes in the menu display .  Click the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order.  If find you a process that uses a large amount of time processor (> = 70,) then select the process, and then click the quit icon in the toolbar.  Click the force quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.

  This problem occurs often because of a corrupted cache or the preferences file or an attempt to write in a corrupted log file.

  Even more annoyingly VMware fusion offer upgrades to the new version for those who use the version 6 or later.

  Hello

  Welcome to the VMware communities forum.

  There is no problem with the Fusion 8 recognizing of your virtual machines to Fusion 5 (or more), it will go just pick up where you left off.

  There are a few borderline cases, as it officially you should have your virtual machines closed and not suspended and preferably without clichés before upgrading to a newer version of the merger. However, in practice I saw real topics with that either.

  Note that it is recommended to backup your virtual machines before going any further. Do this by copying them to an external drive (not dependent on time machine for backups of virtual machines) and then disconnect the drive.

  You can start using on Fusion 8 for 30 days trial period, simply download it from here:

  Try VMware Fusion or Fusion Pro. Run Windows on a Mac without rebooting.

  Once it works as you want, simply assign the license to the merger to change it in the full licensed version.

  Hope this helps,

• problem of graphics screen in OSX Mountain Lion - VMWare Player on Windows

  WIndows 7 or Windows XP, when you use VMWare Player with Mac OS X Lion mountains or the Mavericks, there is a problem of graphical layout.

  I noticed this twice already:

  1. in the system preferences when you try to change the personal image for users and groups. You can see your own image, but trying to change the image of the drop-down list page shows only a blank page. Nevertheless, he is content. When you tic on the blank page, you can change the image, but without visual reference.
  2. I tried iWeb Design in Mac OSX Mavericks. The same situation. By choosing a layout you see a blank page, but it is contained. Try adding that an image or a text always results in a blank page on the screen.

  No idea how to solve this problem?

  VMware does not support the operation of Mac OS X in VMware Player/workstation!  Also, legally virtualisables versions of OS X running in a Virtual Machine cannot be done when done in the Apple brand hardware but when done while running under OS X and for that you have VMware Fusion of VMware Player/Workstation or you violate Apple's SLA for this product.  So any help can you provided for OS X in this use of the scenarios that it would violate the community VMware operating conditions to do.

• Full-screen Fusion VM and Mountain Lion

  After the update to Lion mountains (running Fusion 4.1.3), I was unable to run my Windows 7 VM in full screen mode and use the two forms.

  What seems to happen is that Fusion moves to the main screen to a second space, but the background on the secondary display is the canvas on the second screen.

  I uninstalled and reinstalled VMware tools and tried sharing my primary/secondary displays on Mac OS.

  If I look into the mission control, the secondary display is placed on 1 desktop instead of space that creates the merger.

  

  We are aware of a problem with Mountain Lion full-screen windows on the wrong space and are working on a solution.

• 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.
