Can't run a 10.7.4 VMWare VM on MBP with Retina

I have an old 13" Aluminum Macbook and a purchased copy of Lion that I created a VMWare OSX 10.7.4 VM with that I could use for work.  I had it running fine on my 13" that runs 10.7.4.  I just got a new MBP writh Retina display.  It came with 10.7.4 pre-installed.  I loaded VMWare, moved my VM over and tried to start it up.  I got the login screen, but right after login, I get an error "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine."
I submitted a VMWare ticket and they said this is caused by a mismatch between the OSX10.7.4 builds on the two machines, and that the one on my old macbook is unaware of the ivy bridge architecture on the new Macbook.  They said this doesn't normally occur because Apple generally releases one build for all macbooks.  As a point of reference, the build on my Retina is 11E2620, while on my 13" it is 11E53.
VMWare said that it should be cleared up once 10.7.5 is released.  They had also heard from other clients that they had been successful in talking with Apple and getting a patch for the older Mac that would make it aware of ivy bridge.  So I believe I would apply the patch to both the host and guest on the 13" (although I didn't get into that level of detail with the resource). 
Anyway, I got Applecare with my retina so I submitted an Apple support ticket and talked to someone at Apple.  They checked with their supervisor and basically said they didn't know anything about a patch and if there was one, I would have to get it from VMWare.  They did agree that this should be clared up with 10.7.5 but again, pointed it back to VMWare. 
So now I have Apple and VMWare pointing fingers at each other, I still have a non-working VM for my new machine (I can still run it on my old machine thankfully) and too much time has been spent on that VM to completely recreate it on the new Macbook.  Anyway, not having the VM on my Retina really cuts down the amount I can use it.  So if anyone has any more details on how to get this supposed patch, OR if anyone has any detail on when 10.7.5 is likely to be released, please let me know.  Thanks,
-David

I can't answer the specific error message, but I can tell you a better way to do what you're asking.
on pathToScripts()
    tell application "Finder" to set parentFolder to (path to me) as text
    set scriptsFolder to parentFolder & "Contents:Resources:Scripts:"
    return scriptsFolder
end pathToScripts
There's no need to use the Finder here at all. 'path to me' is a standard command that doesn't require Finder input.
Secondly, if you're looking for a resource in the application's bundle then you should use 'path to resource' rather than 'path to me' + some hard-coded string.
As a result your first three lines of script could be reduced to:
set CloseBrowsersScriptPOSIXFile to path to resource "closeBrowsers.scpt" in directory "Scripts"
set theResult to run script file CloseBrowsersScriptPOSIXFile with parameters {"uninstaller"}

    Alternatively, partition your internal HD and dual-boot it. Do note that you have to reboot to switch back and forth. You can't do it by logging out and back in.

  • HT1222 I was trying to run ITunes 10.7 update on my Mac Pro with Retina display but the message appeared "An error has occurred" so I can proceed with the update. I dont' see any other messages. Any ideas what could go wrong?

    I was trying to run ITunes 10.7 update on my Mac Pro with Retina dispaly but "An error has occurred" and I was not able to proceed with the update. The message says "The operation was cancelled. (3072)." I have no other messages. Any ideas why I cannot install this update

    Scott's solution fixed the problem.  It would have been helpful if the update message in the App Store had reported that.  I had first tried B Noir's solution -- and received a helpful warning message that a guest user was still logged in to iTunes.  I switched over, logged the guest user out, switched back and the update within the App store worked perfectly.
    It seems to me that Apple should invest a little time and effort in making their error/warning messages easier to decipher.  I have to come to the forum every time something happens.  Why not simply have a dialogue window that opens up to explain the most likely issues?

  • Can I use two HP Pavillion 23bw monitors with my MBP with Retina Display?

    Can I use two HP Pavillion 23bw monitors with my MBP with Retina Display with good video quality? I just purchased them and am already reading about issues with non-Apple External Monitors being used with MBP with Retina.  Plus I just assumed it given the power of the video card, but I can turn off the display to my MBP and extend the two HP monitors correct? I do realize they won't have the picture quality of the retina display but I would hope they look reasonable with 1080p
    New to the Support Community so thanks in advance for any help.

    This is an update on the question about the use of the Dell P2415Q 4K monitor with MacBook Pro 13" and 15" w/ Nvidia graphics card installed. The monitor works very well with both systems and is automatically identified when connected. The 13" machine with Iris Graphics defaults to 2560 x 1440 at 60hz. This was very workable, matching the Apple Thunderbolt Display for resolution. I was not able to set the display for full 4K at 3840 x 2160, even at 30hz. Just not enough horsepower with the basic Intel CPU with Iris Graphics. But make no mistake, the setup works well and the screen looks great.
    The 15" with Iris Pro Graphics and the Nvidia GeForce GT 575M discrete graphics card also recognized the display and drove it at full 4K, 3840 x 2160, 60hz with no problems. Running in clamshell mode required a bit of fine tuning with the Apple display settings. But nothing major.
    Due to a relatively small workstation, I selected the 24" version of the Dell monitor. If you are looking for a relatively large monitor with near "retina" resolution, the P2415Q is a perfect pairing for the MacBook Pro - and a terrific bargain. I paid $530 on the Dell website.

    You should have no problem using the external optical drive. As for the external HD, you'll need to format it properly, depending on whether you want to use it with a Windows machine as well as your MacBook Pro.

  • Can I ask apple store to replace my MBP with Retina display? because I have the ghosting issue with it!

    I bought my MBP with Retina display less than two months ago and now I have this problem which the ghost of the application that was open, remains on the background.
    I took the device to apple store and they decide to change a harware of it!! now I just feel like it is no going to be repaired.
    just wanna know despite that 14 days of purchase date has passed, can I ask apple to replace the whole device and give me a new one or not!

    you can ask them, but they are not obligated to fulfill your request.  They are obligated to fix any issues related to defective craftsmanship as long as your mac is under warranty however.

  • Can I run logic pro 8 on a mac in conjunction with a PC?

    Im usig logic pro 8 on Mac but I want to use sounds from a synth that only runs on a PC.
    Any suggestions what I can use to sync the programs together on both Pc and Mac?
    I thought I had heard about a Steinberg program that could do that..
    Thanks
    Message was edited by: Thomas Colontonio

    Steinberg makes a program called VST-Stack that allows up to 16 VST instruments loaded into a rack, each addressed by a separate MIDI channel. It ships with FX racks, compressors/reverbs...etc. Similar to Cubase without the sequencer part.
    If you have a PC with a MIDI interface VST-Stack would work.
    Caveat: It doesn't have MIDI clock sync so don't expect to get delay sync or other synth time based effects/sample&hold to sync to your tempo. As far as a basic synth rack, it works great. Don't know if it runs on Vista, it does run on XP.
    There may be similar free programs but i don't know of any offhand.

  • Can I run OS 8.1 apps on OSX 10.3 with OS 9.22 installed / classic?

    We have some software we have been running on a powerbook 5300ce under os8.1 we now have an imac g3 400mhz dv se and we want to run the software on that. The G3 has OS 10.3 and os 9.2.2 installed.
    The software is on the 5300ce and floppies but I can't connect the 5300 to the imac, can I? So I copied the mac floppy discs to my pc using transmac (I told it not to translate the file extensions). Then I burned the files to a cd and copied to the G3 desktop but when I execute them I get the message "there is no default application specified to open the document "Io Programs Installer" choose an application..."
    If I do a getinfo on the the file it says it is a unix ececutable file size 1.2MB
    I had started the classic environment but that doesn't seem to do anything.
    Any help appreciated. I'm totally stuck and out of my depth.

    Hi Robert
    I think you are right about the forks problem.
    I also think you are right about transmac. My plan is to do exactly what you have suggested. (use transmac to write a floppy disk with an image of a floppy containing splitsville). Unfortunately I need someone to e-mail me the that image.
    "Perhaps, transmat will burn the entire floppy image to an .img file.If it did you could copy this file to the mac and double click on it. This should bring up a folder of your files."
    This is what I want to do.
    "Another option would be to bundle the files on the 5300ce. One program to do this is binhex.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BinHex
    scroll down to second entery
    http://www.pure-mac.com/compen.html"
    I can't use these programs as I have no way of getting them on to the 5300ce which is why I need someone to e-mail me a floppy image wit splitsvile on it.
    My first problem is getting splitsville from the pc to the mac. If I can do that I can use it to spread the image of the folder I need to transfer across 14-15 floppy discs, burn each of them to a cd on the pc with transmac, load them onto the mac and then reconstitute the image and convert it back to a folder.
    thanks for trying to help.

  • Can I run 2 separate versions of Firefox on my Mac with OS 10.6.8?

    For example, I'd like to run my current Firefox version 5.0.1 with the new version 6.0 so that I can easily switch to the older version if something doesn't work with the new version. I run the 1Password extension with Firefox and I got a message the current 1Password 3.7.1 doesn't run on Firefox version 6.0. If so, that's a killer for me and I will not upgrade to Firefox 6.0 until there are compatible versions of both.
    THANKS!

    For Reply 1: Thanks, but I'd rather pass on beta releases. Plus the basic issue has happened before and I suspect it will happen again.
    For Reply 2: Excellent! That's exactly what I'm looking for. I'll try it tomorrow and let you know how it goes!

  • Can I run a LabVIEW 7.1 Application on a system with LabVIEW 6.1?

    The VI App did not run properly, even after I installed the LabVIEW 7.1 Run time engine. Perhpas I need to uninstall the LV 6.1 run time engine? Thank you for any suggestions; perhaps it's something minor that I'm overlooking!

    That shouldn't be a problem assuming that all the drivers (VISA, NI-GPIB, etc.) you need are installed. I haven't run a 7.1 exe yet but I've done it with 7.0 executables on systems with 6.0 and 6.1 development. What was the actual error code generated?

          I'm considering purchasing the E2100L wireless router with storage link.  When a client with a specific MAC address joins the network, I want to run a script which makes an ftp connection and puts a file from the USB flash to the client.  Is it possible to run a Linux bash script from the USB flash drive to perform this task automatically? 

    Not possible. Check 3rd party firmware like dd-wrt.
