I just took it off and maybe it's slower. I tried the workaround using the terminal debug command but it didn't seem to really help. I know there are known issues with iMac 2011's but I have a brand new MBP 2014 that's just a few months old.
I decided to go back to Windows 7 (for other reasons as well) fresh to see if the issues were maybe around Windows 8.1 but they were not (Side note. Then after 7 came out and Yosemite I thought all would be well.
After the upgrade to Yosemite (I had beta) I've had issues but understandably. Originally I had Windows 8.1 on there and back in Mavericks and VMFusion 6 it worked flawlessly.
I have had this issue a while and had hoped the 7.1 update would address these issues but they have not. I’m not sure if I am doing some wrong or if since this is a demo version of the software that I am unable to have certain features. Shared folders can be accessed via the VMware Shared Folders shortcut on the Windows desktop or the mapped network drive Z. In Fusion 3.x, select the Share folders on your Mac option.ħ Browse to the folder on the Mac that will be shared with the virtual machine and click Add. In Fusion 6.x, 5.x and 4.x, turn ON the Shared folders option. To configure a shared folder in a Windows virtual machine:ĥ In Fusion 7.x, select Enable Shared Folders. I have followed the below instructions a few times and have not been successful in making it work:
I am also unable to share local folders with the Mac OS system.
Even though the Win 7 Pro system is on our company’s domain, it is unable to see other computers (besides itself) on the network. Try it and then decide if you want to buy it.I am evaluating VM Fusion Pro 7 on Mac OS Yosemite running a virtual Windows 7 Professional machine.
Once you install VMware Fusion, you can easily create an OS X virtual machine from "New" and then "Install OS X from the recovery partition." You can download a trial version of VMware that is good for 30 days. I think you want to buy VMware Fusion, not ESXi. You can take a "Snapshot" of your OS X virtual machine, run a test, and then restore the Snapshot, so that your OS X virtual machine is back to the way it was before the test. VMware Fusion is a powerful program that lets you do many things. You can create as many OS X virtual machines as you want. VMware says a lot about Windows in its advertising because so many customers want to run Windows on their Macs, but you can ignore the advertisements and run only OS X in your virtual machines. You can run "OS X on top of OS X" just as you wish, and never look at Windows. You decide which operating systems you want to install. You can run almost any operating system in VMware Fusion, including Windows, OS X, Linux, BSD, DOS, and many obscure operating systems. In the menu that appears on the right side, choose "Install OS X from the recovery partition". In VMware Fusion, choose File->New to create a new virtual machine. VMware Fusion can use the built-in Recovery Partition to create a new OS X virtual machine on your Mac. To boot into the Recovery Partition, hold down Command-R when you boot your Mac. When you install the OS X operating system on a Mac, it also installs a hidden "Recovery Partition." The Recovery Partition can be used to fix problems, all the way up to re-installing OS X on your Mac. If you install ESXi on a regular PC that is not a Mac, then you cannot run OS X in virtual machines on it.Ģ. If you install ESXi on a Mac, then you can create and run OS X virtual machines on it. After that, you run virtual machines on it. You install ESXi like an operating system on your computer, such as a Mac or PC computer, then boot ESXi. You can run OS X virtual machines from inside VMware Fusion.ĮSXi: This is like an operating system that runs virtual machines. You boot your Mac in OS X, then launch VMware Fusion like any other application (e.g., Safari). VMware Fusion: VMware Fusion is an application that runs in OS X. VMware ESXi does support OS X virtual machines, but you must be running ESXi on a real Apple Mac in order to run OS X virtual machines on it. I don't want any windows at all in my mac, no windows os relation on my mac. Document says " VMware Fusion enables you to run your Windows applications and PC-only devices on your Intel-based Mac.". Could you tell me, what does mean " create an OS X VM from the recovery partition" ?ģ. Does "VMware ESXi" not supported to virtualize Mac OS X? how VMware Fusion different from VMware ESXi?Ģ. I have few questions here, please clarify,ġ.
