vmware fusion

Looking for advice on setting up a VM as a secure browsing environment on a new MBA M2. VM env would be configured to be completely erased on exit. It's for personal use only and so prefer a free player: VMware Fusion, VirtualBox, other? I've used VirtualBox previously but saw that Fusion now...

I have been using Parallels Desktop on Apple Silicon and Intel. But I ran into a chip-related USB serial port issue on Apple Silicon. Other USB-C devices work well on it. In the past, I have used VMware Fusion and it is now out in Universal format as v 13.0.1. Updates appear to arrive slowly. I...

I'm running Mojave on an iMac 2017. For some apps with no update available for Mojave I need to have Big Sur installed. Would VMWare be faster running Big Sur (if it is possible to install it there) or a thunderbolt external SSD disk with Big Sur?

Hi, How are you? I have a MacBook Pro 2019 - 16 - i9 CPU with Radeon Pro M5500 8Gb & 64Gb RAM, 2Tb SSD I am upgrading the MacBook Pro with eGPU Sonnet 750ex with the Radeon RX 6900 XT this week... Which is best to run a VM with Windows 11 Pro? VMware Fusion Pro 12 or Parallels Desktop 17 Pro...

I’d like to run High Sierra on a new 2020 iMac so I can run MacOS Server 5.7.1. How about Parallels? Is this possible?

The VMware Product Manager is confident that they can deliver a Tech Preview BY THE END OF THIS YEAR! You read correctly, Parallels Desktop is shipping as a release and VMware will be diligently working for many more months. Will they make up for it by delivering the hoped for X86 emulation...

Hello, I installed OpenCore on a 2010 Mac pro and I can't run any virtualisation apps like vmware fusion and virtualbox. I remove and reinstall apps, but no change. In the preferences of confidentiality I have no request also of authorization. I don't know if it's Opencore or Big Sur, to tell...

I'm attempting to get VMware Fusion working on a cMP 5,1. I have version 11.5.3 installed. When I launch it, I get this error: From VMware's website, they say my machine isn't supported. However, I read another post from people trying to run VMware Fusion 12. One person suggested downgrading to...

Parallels wants me to upgrade to version 16 for Big Sur support. Meanwhile, VMWare is offering Fusion 12 which supports Big Sur for free to Home users and students. https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/evalcenter?p=fusion-player-personal Any Parallels users try Fusion recently? Will you be...

I have a copy of my Snow Leopard install DVD on ISO (I used PowerISO under Windows 10 in BootCamp to rip it). When I try to launch it in VMware Fusion 11, Fusion says that it doesn't recognize the OS as Mac OS X Server. I have looked this up, and I still have no idea why it would say this, other...

I had some disk issues and ended up replacing my BootCamp installation by backing it up with Winclone, installing a new disk and restoring. I just used Disk Utility to create a GUID exFAT disk making sure I had a hybrid MBR, since my Mac Pro 5,1 runs best with BIOS boot. After I got Windows 10...

Mac specs are in my signature. So when trying to play an old game from 2003 on Origin in windows my osx gpu history is showing the graph as maxed out ! I don't even get near max doing daily regular things in osx. The settings for vmware are 1gb out of 3gb shared graphics memory with 3d on, 4...

Just trying to install Win 10 Pro on Mac Pro 2019 via VMware Fusion 11.5.1. After connect of an external USB drive (SATA SSD with SATA-USB-C adapter) via USB/TB back connector the MacPro 2019 shuts down. Fans at max after restart. After SMC ok again. But another shutdown after 2nd trial to...

Testing both configurations now. Also has Dark Mode! Release notes here: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Fusion/11.5.0/rn/VMware-Fusion-1150-Release-Notes.html Upgrading a Catalina Guest Beta creates panic. Work around here: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/74672 BootCamp needs special...

I was able to load BootCamp installations on VMware Fusion under Mojave and earlier versions of Catalina by giving VMware Fusion full disk access. That does not seem to be working any longer. VMware can unmount but not access the disk. Has anybody seen this and found a work around?

My MacBook Air came with macOS Sierra, and I know that I can't install an older macOS on that (reference: How to install OS X 10.9 on a new Mac mini loaded with OS X 10.11), but I don't know why I can't even install it on VMware Fusion as VMware Fusion does show up OS X 10.9 as one of its Guest...

Has anybody managed to install a Mojave Guest on the VMware Fusion Tech Preview 2018? It is supposed to support it from a fresh install, but the installer refuses for an unsupported video card on a MacBook Pro 2018 natively running Mojave.

While I used Macbook and iOS devices for quite a while, I just moved as my main machine from a 6 core i7 Windows to iMac Pro (10 core, 64 GB RAM). I couldn't be happier with the switch with the power of the machine and how quiet it is. However I have instances where I still need some Windows...

I need to be able to restore a Time Machine backup of 10.12.x and 10.11.x so I can review the entire drive's data. I'd prefer to be able to do this using VMware Fusion 10 Pro to make things easier than having to do this to a hard disk or SSD drive. Current setup: 10.13.2 (High Sierra) on a...
