• VMware Fusion Yosemite 7 comments stuck on 1024 x 768

  I am running VMware Fusion 7 in OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 with OS X Yosemite 10.10 as my guest operating system.  However, the only display resolution, I can get is 1024 x 768!  Someone know how I can get a better resolution?

  My Mac host is as follows:

  -iMac 27 inches from the end of 2009

  -2.8 GHz Quad - Core Intel Core i7

  -A SATA 2 to drive

  -16GB 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM

  -ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB (2560 x 1440)

  Thank you

  Did you manually install VMWare tools in the comments?

• Mavericks GUEST on VMWARE fusion 6 Mavericks operating system host

  I want to install the Mavericks as a guest under VMWare fusion test OS / X Server and guest will be a customer.

  Now, my problem is that even if the installation goes very well - when it comes to anything keypad entry works.  I can type, but no characters appear.  Outside of the machine virtual all works well.  The mouse works fine in the virtual machine.  I can even 'free' the mouse using control - so I know the keyboard does something, but I can't type in the virtual machine.  What can I do or check this?

  I don't want to cancel the installation from the beginning and I need the keyboard to the original user of the installation.

  Thank you

  I deleted and did the installation again and I used the keyboard for all navigation across (could whereI) and things seem to work fine now.  Quite strange.

• VMware Fusion 7 - OSx 10.9 comments iTunes hangs at each time after installing vmware tools

  Hello community,

  I'm having a problem with vmware tools.  Yesterday, I did the upgrade of Fusion 6 to 7 Pro.

  I have installed Mavericks like virtual machine.  My system (iMac Late2013) has installed Mavericks.

  With vmware tools iTunes crash whenever it is launched.

  Without vmware tools iTunes works well... but the yield is very low (I can't use shared folders, etc.)

  Before upgrading vmware fusion 7, I had fusion 6 and everything works fine (I mean iTunes with vmware tools)

  I use this machine with audio application and it is important for me to use iTunes inside the virtual machine.

  Is there the 'tricks' to solve this problem?

  Thank you

  It's finally a bug in iTunes that Apple should correct (so please click on "Send to Apple" in this window), but it is important to use to find out what triggers it.

  I suspect a significant change, we did for the graphics drivers of comments (within the VMware Tools for OS X) between Fusion 6 and 7 of the merger. To test this theory, please try the following experiences in your VM Mavericks:

  o experience 1

  In Terminal.app, run the following command:

  sudo nvram boot-args = 'vmw_gfx_caps = 0'

  Then restart the client Mavericks. Does make the problem disappear? If no, continue to experiment 2

  o experience 2

  In Terminal.app, run the following command:

  sudo rm - rf {/System,}/Library/Extensions/VMwareGfx.kext

  Then restart the client Mavericks. Does make the problem disappear?

• VMware Fusion 7 and VMware Tools - leak memory in Debian comments

  At some point during my updates from Mac OS X to Yosemite, VMware Fusion to 7.x and my Debian a guest to 8.0 "Jessie" on my 2012 Mackbook Pro, leaking memory of the Linux kernel is developed.  If I follow these steps, then I'd lose soon about 3 GB memory of the core area.

  1. Install Debian Jessie in a new machine virtual de VMware Fusion
  2. Install open-vm-tools or VMware Tools bundled.
  3. Perform an intensive IO as operation simply cat/dev/zero |-c 1000000000 head >/tmp/test.txt.
  4. Smem - wtk and see ~ 3 GB memory under the dynamics of the kernel memory, benefit.

  I opened the 15709682007 assistance request and the representative said that they will fix the problem in a future release. In the meantime, I have what seems to be a workaround for someone else that is affected.  Basically, pulling packages from backports jessie seems to have solved the problem.  This is based on the comments added to open-vm-tools.

  1. Add the Debian repository -backports jessie in /etc/apt/sources.list
  2. sudo apt - get update; sudo apt - get install t Jessie-backports open-vm-tools-dkms open-vm-Tools-Office
  3. sudo apt - get - t jessie-backports dist-upgrade (install kernel 4.1)
  4. Restart comments

  A few quick thoughts:

  1. If you have several virtual machines (or other programs) running on your computer host and VMware Fusion detects that there is memory pressure on your host computer, it uses the "balloon" (vmw_balloon for the latest distributions of Linux) Guest pilot to fly some memory of the guest OS.  This memory "stolen" would appear as memory Dynamics non-cache kernel inside the guest.  Running "sudo rmmod vmw_balloon" should release all memory climbed to the guest OS.  Note that using the balloon driver generally improves the performance of the guest and host, despite the appearance of fear "used memory" inside the guest-"used memory" is just a thing of accounting that we had to use in order to change the priority of the memory between the host and the guest.  It is not "used" in the conventional sense of the term.

  2. I believe that recent versions of virtual hardware non-cache dynamic kernel allocate the necessary memory for SVGA and 3D features (display RAM, texture RAM, etc.).  Disable graphic 3D acceleration or by reducing the amount of graphics shared memory if you are using a new version of virtual hardware (both in the VM > settings... > display) might help.  Decommissioning of a virtual equipment as early (in the VM > settings... > compatibility) can also help.

  See you soon,.

• 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!

• VMWare Fusion 6.0.2: Mavericks - Windows 7 Clipboard sharing does not work

  I'm running a MBP, OS X 10.9.2 (Mavericks), VMWare Fusion 6.0.2 with a Windows 7 VM. The elements copied to the Clipboard in one are not properly shared with the other. I went in every parameter I know to try to solve this problem, no dice.

  All known solutions?

  Brad

  Hi Brad,

  1. click on the menu Virtual Machine-> settings, then click on the button of isolation in the Panel settings, Pls, make sure that the two check box (enable D & D, caillet &) and checked.

  2. If the boxes are check, have you already tried to install VMware tools by clicking on the Virtual Machines menu-> reinstall VMware Tools? Can drag you a file from the Mavericks to the Windows 7 VM? No sharing of Clipboard does not work when Windows 7 has just started and no other application does?

• Load comments from Mac OS on VMware Fusion

  I have a licensed copy of VMware Fusion installed 2.05 on a Mac Book Pro.  Normally, I use it to run different virtual Windows OS macines. However, I also want to create a virtual machine using Mac OS.  VMware doesn't let me do that for any reason any.  Maybe it's an obvious problem, but I couldn't find any documentation or support messages telling why you cannot load the Mac OS on MVWare Fusion running on an Intel Mac.  Anyone know how I can do this job?  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  Hello

  Sorry, you cannot run an OS X desktop virtualized under Fusion version.

  This is not allowed by apple and VMware has added some checks to enforce this.

  There is no way known around him (at least not here on this forum) and asking us to help you to pirate software won't give you much, I'm afraid.

  FWIW, you pouvez run OSX Server as a virtualized OS and that is even authorized by apple (if you have a legal copy and apple hardware to run it)

  Sorry for the bad news.

• Known issues with VMWare Fusion 2.0.2 and FTP/SSL?

  Hello

  I have a virtual machine in VMWare Fusion 2.0.2 running Windows XP with SP3. I have the Windows Firewall and AVG Free running.

  I use FileZilla as my FTP client. I am able to connect to a server using the vanilla FTP protocol. No problems.

  However, when I try to use FTP/SSL to connect to a server, I get time-out errors as it gets stuck on "initializing TLS... ».

  I tried to disable the Firewall and AVG. Nothing helps.

  I tried other FTP clients (CuteFTP, for example). Same result.

  And, I am able to connect through FTP/SSL and FileZilla to my host (Mac OS 10.5.6) operating system and another computer in my house running Windows 7.

  So I narrowed down it to something in this specific virtual Windows machine installation, but I don't know what else to try.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you.

  How is the Machine to stop virtual network set up, NAT or bridged?  If NAT have you tried to use bridged?  Note: If you change from NAT to Bridged while the Virtual Machine is running, the IP address must be released or renewed.  If you are unsure how to do this then just restart the Virtual Machine.

• Buy VMware Fusion 7, but the v5 download and run the merger also?

  I looked on the website of VMware, but impossible to find the answer to this question:

  A customer can purchase VMware Fusion version 7 (the current version) but also to download and run an earlier version of VMware Fusion (for example, merger v5) for temporary use? Here's an example scenario:

  * A VMware customer has two Macs. One is an old Mac running Snow Leopard, and the other is a new Mac running Mavericks or Yosemite. The customer wants to use the new Mac, go ahead (and give the old Mac). The client runs even a few applications that are not supported on what it is later than Snow Leopard (for example PowerPC applications). The obvious solution is to run these applications in a guest of Snow Leopard Server in VMware Fusion on the new Mac.

  * The problem is that Snow Leopard Server does not install as a guest operating system on the recent Mac models of the client, but it can run an existing Snow Leopard Server prompt that was created on an older Mac.

  * The client has this old Snow Leopard Mac. Unfortunately, it won't run VMware Fusion 7. It will run in VMware Fusion version 5, however. The customer wants to run VMware Fusion 5 on the old Mac to create the Snow Leopard Server on old Mac prompt, then copy the comments for the new Mac where it can run under VMware Fusion 7.

  HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS:

  --> How can the customer buy VMware Fusion 7, but also to download a copy of VMware Fusion 5 for this operation 'create a Snow Leopard Server prompt' unique on the old Mac?

  -> Will VMware provide a Fusion 5 license when the trial period expires on the old Mac before the customer can get a Snow Leopard Server comments work?

  
  

  I sent you this link last night via Message private and also posted in your other thread on the subject.  You should be able to use as disk utility here: create a disk image of physical Mac OS X install media.

  If this process fails to create an image that starts on your newer Mac, please let us know, as this is a question we want to address.  I'm not aware of any circumstances which require a downgrade from Fusion 5 install Snow Leopard Server.

  Thank you

• VMWare Fusion 6 extremely slow on iMac i5 / Yosemite

  Hello

  I can't with VMWare Fusion 6 running on my iMac i5.

  I recently did a complete reinstallation of the operating system, and it works now a soft Yosemite with VMWare Fusion 6.0.5.

  When you run a freshly installed Windows 8.1 image (basically doing nothing, with no extra apps running) I

  see the following topics:

  * vmware-vmx process is constantly around 100% (top)

  * Computer becomes very slow, there is a considerable delay even to type the text in TextEdit.

  * When I turn off VMWare Fusion, the computer returns to normal.

  (This problem is not new to Yosemite. I had the same problem on the Mavericks and Mountain Lion, and I had

  in light of all the comments up on VMWare running on the computer, but I had hoped that a complete reinstall might help things)

  Computer data:

  Mid-2011 iMac, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5

  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 (1 GB set to the virtual machine, as suggested by VMWare)

  Drive of fusion (256 ssd + 2 TB)

  Is that what I can do to study?

  Hello ahochan,

  Welcome to the VMware community forum.

  Please take a look at the advice of Darius here: Re: Yosemite and Fusion 7 - very very slow

• Multi-monitor 7 VMWare Fusion is improved from 6?

  Hello VMWare,

  Currently if you google "VMware Fusion 7 multi-monitor Support" this thread is the best result:

  https://communities.VMware.com/thread/458878?start=0 & tstart = 0

  In this thread, the top answer is a VMWare employee is studying ways to improve multi-monitor support VMWare Fusion. It's been a year, and you have now unlocked a new major version, to what you ask me to pay to upgrade.  I guess that these issues have been addressed, but I see no reference to improvements in this regard on the VMWare Fusion 7 product pages.

  Can you please address the following two questions, which are massive trouble when using Fusion 6 (and I want to emphasize, nor issue seems to affect your competing product Parallels):

  1. If you have more than two monitors (three for example), can you use Fusion 7 full screen but use only 2 screens instead of the 3? In fusion 6, you can use one or ALL, I really hope that this behavior is changed.
  2. When you use a display fullscreen VM on several monitors with the new behavior of multiscreen fullscreen introduced in Mavericks, can you change the space of one of your monitors away from the virtual machine and then on another monitor always displays the virtual machine, interact with the virtual machine without the spaces on your other monitors to return to space the VM?

  If you can confirm that the issues have been addressed, I fortunately modernize today.  If not, you clearly that this support is a reason some not a priority for VMWare and I go to Parallels, after buying the latest 3 versions of VMWare and be a happy customer otherwise.

  Thank you for your answer!

  They do not react because the answer is that they did not have * nothing * to improve their software in this regard.

  You better buy Parallels, making these two things well.  Even if the product windows VMWare offers this kind of behavior of multi-monitor, they are apparently not interested in doing the same thing on their OS X product.  I'm not interested in waiting around for them to recognize it as a priority, so I switched to Parallels.

• 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.

• VMware Fusion 8.0

  I plan to put VMware Fusion 8.0 on my new Mac Mini, so I can run an older version of Quicken for Mac 2006 R7. I have more than 20 years, the Quicken data files and I need to be able to access these files years every so often for the purposes of investment. Didn't like not all of the new version of Quicken for Mac, or any other software of finance personal I tested (they all seem to be cloud online version now), so I went back to the old version of Quicken, which is very stable for me (I just don't let it backup on my internal HD more).

  All the old Quicken files and the program are on my Time Capsule and another hard drive backup external.

  My old Mac Mini still works, but given that the OSX can not be upgraded beyond v. 10.6.8 some programs and Firefox work just not so well, and I was starting to think I have some security issue too.

  I could get another monitor to the old Mini and not allow access to the internet, but it would still need to save every day at least to one of the external drives. Or, I could attach it to my current monitor along the coast the new Mini, using the D - SUB cable. I've never used the D - SUB connection, so not sure how good the view will be if two Minis share the same monitor. If I could afford to buy another monitor, I'd do it, but now, money is tight after the purchase of my new Mini and a new MBP for my daughter who is in College (his old MB was a 2008 model, no place to upgrade more, so it's very, very slow).

  I read here that some people had problems of compatibility with El Capitan and Fusion, so I am wary of load on the new Mini. Are these problems solved?

  When you read about the problems? If you're careful, you can try merge free simply go to their web site to access the free trial version. You can also use VirtualBox which is free. I don't think that you will have problems with the virtual machine.

  Where you might have problems to run older versions of Quicken rather that perhaps in Quicken for Windows in your virtual machine running Windows or just the new version of Quicken for Mac without running a virtual machine. But I don't know much about Quicken.

• Sierra and VMWare Fusion 6.0.6 macOS does not?

  I just updated my MacBook Pro (mid-2015) for macOS 10.12 "Sierra", and now when I try to start the Simulator BB10, it "just hangs" «forever» (at least as long as I'm patient enough to let stand at least 10 minutes, I'll try letting it sit UAB tonight) with the 'play' button displayed in the window of the program VMWare Fusion 6.0.6.  By clicking on the 'play' button does nothing.  When I try to quit VMWare Fusion, it again me, the Simulator is 'busy' and leaves me not even exit normally.  I managed to force it to leave it in the Apple system menu.

  Before that I pay to update my VMWare Fusion to the latest version, can anyone confirm if it (and the rest of the Momentics development system) will continue to operate under macOS 'Sierra '?

  Thank you

  Ed

  Well, good and less good news.

  Good news, I installed the trial version of VMWare Fusion 8.5.0 on my macOS Sierra system 10.12 and the BB10 Simulator (at least, the latest version 10.3.2.281) works and my application can run on it!

  Less good news, it runs * very * slow.

  No 1200% slow as the virtualiation equipment turned off, but still slower than it was before.

  Just in case someone comes in the future on this issue.
