10.4.11, VMware Fusion and Windows XP (Home Edition) works just fine

OK, so I'm through the installation of VMware Fusion and Windows XP (Home Edition) and I have to say that it was pretty much point and click as advertised. All network services seem to be working and I'm running both OS side-by-side with out a hitch.
Haven't put the system through any rigorous test yet, like VPN, network printing or rending large graphic files, but the installation, setup and normal operation went smoothly taking about an hour in total.
Machine: MacBook Pro, 1.8Ghz with 1G of RAM memory and dual monitors.
Host OS: MacOS 10.4.11

I now have installed XP Pro into a Boot Camp Partition. Basically point and shoot. Then while booted in XP I used PC Mover to migrate my old PC to the Boot Camp partition. With the exception of one program and my virus and firewall programs all went well, almost point and shoot. Then I installed VMWares Fusion and used my Boot Camp partition as the source. If you follow instructions from VMWare things work relatively problem free.
After posting questions on VMwares site about processing video and compiling DVDs in Windows using Fusion I decided that such processor intensive requirements are best handled in the Boot Camp (native) mode.
The biggest problem I have encountered is that Microsoft Office constantly asks to be reactivated when switching between Boot Camp startup and Fusion. No solution I know of, except not to use Office in Boot Camp Mode. Secondly XP Pro required a re-authorization from Microsoft so I could run it in both Boot Camp and Fusion modes. Obtaining the authorization (activation code) from Microsoft was not a problem.

No. Something else is going on.
Your son may be hogging all the bandwidth but your wireless network should never simply disappear. Moreover, if your son isn't doing anything the available bandwidth for other devices should remain unaffected.
I suspect that something is miswired, and from what you describe I suspect that link is between the Extreme and the "other computer".
The way to accomplish what you propose is
Modem > Ethernet cable to Extreme's WAN port
Extreme's LAN ports > wired Ethernet devices.
There should be nothing but an Ethernet cable linking an Extreme LAN port and any other wired device. If you run out of available LAN ports on the Extreme, you need to by an "Ethernet switch" - they are not expensive, but don't call it a "splitter" or you will only confuse yourself. The switch would be connected to one of the Extreme's LAN ports, and you would connect additional devices to it. You can also use one of your Expresses for that purpose, assuming it is the current generation model with two Ethernet ports.

VMWare Fusion and Windows (any version)

Hey everyone, first of all I'm new to Macs so please don't flame me.
I recently bought VMWare Fusion 2.0 for my Macbook so that I can run my Windows XP Home Edition virtually from my BootCamp Partition without having to reboot in order to switch back and forth between the 2 operating systems.
However, I noticed that I cannot open files from Windows XP with Mac exclusive applications such as Garageband, iMovie, or even Preview without having to copy it to my Mac Partition and opening it from there. Is this feature available on VMWare Fusion? I know that for Parallels Desktop 4.0, which my brother uses, you can right-click on a file on the virtual Windows operating system, go to "Open with," and then there will be options to open the file for Mac exclusive applications in the list of recommended programs.
Thanks a lot for any help, feedback, or suggestions you guys can provide!

Itunes 7.1.1. and Windows Vista Home Edition

Hi there. I have a new PC from HP model T3765.it and I am NOT able to use my iPod nor to install iTunes for more than two months: my PC says "you have to repair iTunes to make it working with Windows Vista". I followed the instructions (Control Panel --> Programs --> iTunes --> repair) but no result. My PC has Windows Vista Home Edition. Does anyone know what to do? Is there a way to sort this out or do I have to wait for a new iTunes release?
Thanks, Giacomo

Can anyone help me with instructions to restore the Ipod to a back level? I have searched the discussions but haven't found a method. I have downloaded 1.2.1 but Itunes wants to check for an update and won't let me get past that point.

Problem with PC Suite and Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit

I installed PC Suite on my desktop with Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit installed. I was able to eventually run PC Suite (granted it needed to run in XP SP2 compatibility mode) and sync my calendar on my W518a cell phone with PC Suite via Bluetooth communications. After I turned off my computer and restarted it, I could no longer open up PC Suite...its icon appears in my system tray with a red X over it as if it can't find the program.
The SonyEricsson website indicates PC Suite can run with Windows 7.
What is causing the problem I am having? How do I get this corrected?

I have downloaded and reinstalled the PC Suite software. Although it is not working as well as it should, as long as I have my cell phone on with Bluetooth enabled prior to clicking on the icon to open the application, it seems to work OK. Otherwise, when it opens, it just hangs and the only way you can close the program is to get into Task Manager and force it closed when its status is showing as "Not Responding". I also have found that just "closing" the PC Suite window does not close the application...you have to click on the option to "Exit the Application" otherwise you continue to have it in your system tray with a red X over the icon.

Flash Builder 4.6 and SAP Netweaver Gateway plugin works just fine

Hi, i have just installed the new Flash Builder 4.6 and add the SAP NetWeaver Gateway plugin on it.
I you follow the documentation available (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashbuilder_sap/flashbuilder_sap_gettingstarted.p df) and then select the "DEMO_BANK" service instead of the "DEMO_FLIGHT" as writtent in the documentation and then bound the "selectZ_demo_bankCollection" to your datagrid, the demo works just fine.
My platform specification is:
- Windows 7 Integral running on VMware Fusion installed on my MacBook Air (just installed yesterday and full updated from Windows Update)
- Flash Builder 4.6 (fresh download from this morning)
- Internet Explorer 9 (last update at this time)
- Flash Player 11.1.102.55 (last update at this time)

FXL

note sure if I'm much help other than to CONFIRM it is working for me by using the sdk WITHOUT the compiler. Check out adobe's little note: "Note : Flex users will need to download the original AIR SDK without the new compiler."
I am using FB 4.7 with AIR 3.6 and seems to compile correctly for iOS.
Maybe try reinstalling flash builder?
I honestly don't know if the JRE has anything to do with it... I'm using 1.7 ....to see what JRE you're using, open the Java Control Panel (I right click my java orange icon and hit properties), select the Java tab, then hit "View..."

Windows xp home edition works program does not sync contacts with ipod

I recently purchased a new computer with the Windows XP Home edition and it had a new program called Works installed. It takes the place of excel, powerpoint, calender, outlook, etc. Started to add contacts and my iPod 30gb says it can't sync contacts without outlook. Is there a patch fix for this? My old computer is on it's way to my son's, several hours away.

I don't own an iPod touch. I own an older 30 gb with click wheel. I am new to this whole thing-iPods, forums, etc. Of everyone in my family (adults) I am the most literate when it comes to computers and the other person is too young to be included in online forums. I just need to know if there is a fix for the iPod to correct the only with Outlook sync for the address book part of it.

Help! Vmware Fusion and windows vista suck up memory fast.

Hi,
I'm running windows Vista x64 Edition through vmware fusion (v2.0) on my macbook (intel 2.4 ghz) and its sucking up memory really fast. I don't have any snapshots and for the moment the virtual machine takes up about 26 gb of my memory. Everytime I start windows with vmware I immediately lose about 1gb of free space on my macbook, which I then recover after closing down vmware, so I guess that's normal. However my memory keeps on decreasing constantly when using vista, without me doing anything else than using internet explorer (no gaming or downloads) and I never get that memory back. I can't seem to understand what causes this constant and rapid memory loss (it can go up to 2gb of memory loss in an hour). (I also get an error message when starting vmware stating :"serial0: Failed to connect to the Virtual Printer daemon after 25 attempts.", but I think its irrelevant).
Here are some specifics on how i set the settings for vmware:
* Processor: 1 virtual processor - RAM: 1084 MB -Autoprotect:disabled -Hard Disk: SCSI Bus type, 40GB disk size, pre-allocate disk space unchecked, Split into 2GB files checked.
I also tried entering the windows Vista x64 Edition in my virtual machine library by right-clicking and selecting "show package content". I noticed there were files named "Windows Vista x64 Edition-s0xx.vmdk", ranging from "Windows Vista x64 Edition-s001.vmdk" to "Windows Vista x64 Edition-s021.vmdk" and files named "Windows Vista x64 Edition-000001-s0xx.vmdk" ranging from "Windows Vista x64 Edition-000001-s001.vmdk" to "Windows Vista x64 Edition-000001-s021.vmdk". These files take up most of the 26GB of memory of my virtual machine.
I would be grateful for any suggestions as my vmware fusion is rendered useless by this problem (under 2,2GB of free space on your computer you can't even start the virtual machine so I've had to delete tons of stuff to keep it running) and I badly need vista for my studies.
Thank you for your help!

If I use Time Machine to back up my internal hard drive will it back up VMWare Fusion and Windows Xp?

Apple tells me I need to back up my Seagate 1Tb HD so they can replace it I have just spent several days getting stuff onto it and don't want to re-install XP if I don't have to. VMWare Fusion is running XP (NOT on boot camp). Does Time Machine back up the whole thing?

I am assuming when you refer to the Seagate 1tb drive, you are referring to an internal drive on your Mac?
Time Machine will automatically back up your virtual machine if it is running on your Mac hard drive, unless you have excluded it in Time Machine Preferences. However beware, it will back up an entire copy every time you do anything with your virtual machine, and will rapidly eat up your backup drive space (I lost 6 months of backups doing this) so it is usually better to backup from within Windows to a separate drive.
Presumably you just want to do a one-off backup of the Virtual machine so you can restore it after the drive is replaced. If so, go to the Time machine Preferences pane in System Preferences and click the Options button. If your virtual machine is not listed in the excluded files list it will be automatically backed up. If it is listed, remove it from the list and run a manual backup (it will probably take quite a long time and you will need to make sure you have enough disk space on your backup drive). Then check your backup disk to ensure it is there. Then if you don't want it to backup lots of copies of the VM, go back into preferences and exclude it again.

VMware Fusion and Windows Vista

I've installed fusion and vista for work purposes, but now it is restore state and the only way to turn it off is to hold power button down until entire computer shuts off. If I open fusion it automatically begins restoring the "frozen" vista. I have uninstalled Fusion but same issue. I cant figure out how to uninstall Vista because of the immediate open and freezing of the restore state.
ANy ideas?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
since Fusion is not an Apple product, you might wanna try the Fusion Support site

PCI 16 and Windows XP Home edit

I have a dual boot computer -- XP and the Linspire version of Debian Linux. The sound card works under Linux but does not work under XP.
The system would not recognize my CD-ROM dri've in XP because of a software problem which needed two changes to the Registry to fix. See MS Knowledge Base #34060.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;34060
I may have a similar software problem with my SoundBlaster 6 PCI because System Properties / Hardware says that the PCI 6 is working properly but "Control Panel" / "Sounds and Audio Devices Properties" / "Volume" tab says "No Audio Device" and the "Audio" tab says "No Playback Devices". The "Hardware" tab shows various codecs and drivers and the SB PCI WDM card as "working properly"
I tried your Knowledge Base #72 "clean sweep" but that did not fix it, perhaps because the installation CD-ROM with my card [copyright 2003. part number 320ML000043} did not have a file CTZAPXX.EXE so I could not kill the WDM drivers with it.
I also tried Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe but it said it could not find any "Creative" sound cards so it did not run.
XP System Information / Sound Devices says that the sound device is SB PCI (WDM) made by Creative Technology Ltd.
Oh mighty tech gurus, where in the hell is the problem?

Johnb662,
There may be a problem with the multimedia section of Windows XP. This typically means uninstalling and reinstalling the multimedia section of Windows XP. This is usually hidden in XP but if you follow some steps you will be able to make this section visible. These steps are described in the following article in the section labeled "How to install or uninstall Windows programs that are no listed in Add/Remove Programs Wizard".
http://us.creative.com/support/kb/ar...p?l=2&sid=5339
Make sure you have a Windows XP CD or the install files are on your HDD before continuing. Once this is done you can go to Add Remove Programs/Add Remove Windows Components and select the accessories and utilities section. Take the check mark out of Multimedia and hit apply. It will uninstall and you will need to reboot your system. After the reboot, go back to the same place and return the checkmark to Multimedia. Hit apply and reboot again. See if the sound card shows up after that.

My iMac desktop and McBook Air laptop run on Mavericks, but desktop has VMWare Fusion and runs Windows 7 too. Can I transfer this capability to my McBook Air?

My iMac desktop and McBook Air laptop run on Mavericks. The laptop also runs Windows 7 via VM Ware Fusion. Can I transfer this capability to my McBook Air, so I can run the same plus the Windows programs on my laptop?

Thanks Kappy, but I should add that my desktop runs VMWare Fusion and Windows 7. My laptop and desktop basic operating systems are Mavericks. When I travel, I take my laptop with me. My desktop runs a Windows investment program I like, and I'd like to be able to use this program in my laptop when I'm on the road. VM Ware said I could do this, but would have to make and then transfer a "file" of the programs in question. How would this be done, since it would involve 3 files: Fusion, Windows 7 and the investment program? Maybe Apple should do this at the genius bar? Appreciate any comments...Thanks again, Patrick
