Problem with VMWare Fusion and OS 10.6.8 and Safari

when i try to open Safari from say a tracking number or even if i try to install an extension for safari from a download by double clicking it in my downloads folder instead of my mac version of safari opening it opens safari in vmware fusion this just started a few days ago i haven't updated anything i'm using safari 5.1 on my mac and this is a imac intel 2.8ghz intel 2 dual processor
please help as this is causing me a lot of problems
thanks Mike

It's not a big concern, apparantly the assocaition what program opens that file when you click on it is off kilter.
It's surely a VMFusion issue as they tweak things a bit in OS X as to be able to merge OSX and the guest operating together for a more seamless experience.
Perhaps you opened the file once in Safari in VMFusion and now it has that association, or when there was a menu selection you picked the wrong one by accident.
Register on get on the VM forums and post your question there and they can assist, it's a easy fix but it escapes me.
I run VMFusion too and noticed this ability once when I had OS's merged, but I don't merge operating systems anymore, rather I prefer to keep each one seperate.
Good luck, ask on VM's forums and you'll be fine.

Problem with vmware fusion 3.1.3 after upgrade to Lion

Greetings,
I have some problems with my vmware fusion 3.1.1 after my update to OS X v10.7.
i used a MacBook pro 17'' half a year old.
I used VMWare Fusion 3.1.3 and bootcamp to. I have make no backup bevore i upgrade.
The path of my virtual machine couldn't be found and so the virtual maschine didn't start after this upgrade.
I hope that i musn't reinstall my virtual Windows 7 machine.
I'am searching for a resulution and found this:
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=display KC&externalId=1003483
Cannot open the disk '/Users/<User Name>/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp/dev/disk0s3/Boot Camp partition.vmwarevm/Boot Camp partition.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
But i would save the virtual machine bevor i reinstall VMWare Fusion 3.1.3.
Have anyone a idea how i found my virtual machine.
Greetings from Germany

According to: http://roaringapps.com/app:61 Version 3.1.3 has issues with Lion. There is a 2011 beta that works better.

Problems with VMWare Fusion after MacOS Upgrade

Prior to upgrading yesteday I was able to use "open with" to select programs that were installed in either my Win 7 or XP VM on VMFusion. After the upgrade no longer set any of the Win apps. This is a real pain a now i have to open Fusion, Win 7 and use the Office 2010 app to open the file.
Has any one else had this problem? Is there something I can do to fix this?

Split screen software of LG ultra wide monitor won't start with windows 7 installed with VMWare Fusion

I am using split screen sofware of LG but it is not working for me with vmware fusion 7. Is this a known problem? I am using an ultra wide monitor of LG (29um65), and installed windows 7 on my mac, by using VMware Fusion. But the software won't work of LG. It won't start. LG can't help me, because normally the software is working by using windows 7 on a windows pc. I got it also working on a mac , when I used other virtual software as Virtualbox VM, but it seems not to work with vmware fusion 7. Can somebody help me with this problem?

yes, I think you are right, but I used virtual box in the past, and had no problem with the LG software, so it has also to do wit VMWare Fusion I think.
Never the less we still don't have a solution :-)

I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook.

I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook OS 10. When attempting to use a Browser, (either IE, or Chrome), under Windows Fusion, I cannot browse to ANY page except Gmail.com.
I checked all security settings, and found no problem. Neither browser will allow me to do ANYTHING other than go to Gmail.com!!!
I am not sure if I have some virus on my Windows side, because Google and Safari both work perfectly on my Apple side, just not when running Windows Fusion.
Is there some setting I am missing, or do you think I have malware/virus issues?? My Internet connection is DEFINITELY working fine - I can send, receive, open, and close all my email on Gmail only, and can navigate freely on Gmail, but cannot get to any other site even hyperlinked to Gmail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

If you've already tried my previous suggestions, it may be that something has tampered with the DNS settings in your Windows VM, which might bypass the settings your Mac uses. Assuming you're using Windows 8, these instructions explain how to check and change the DNS settings. There's also a link in those instructions listing a variety of suggested DNS settings. If you do try changing the settings, record what the settings currently are in case you want to return to them.

W530 Num Lock problems with VMWare

All, I am having a major problem with VMWare and the W530 "Num Lock". When I move the cursor into the VMWare window a message comes on say "NUM LOCK: ON" when I move it out of the VMWare window I see message "NUM LOCK: OFF". I do not have any key on the keyboard to disable Num Locl. There are utilities I can run in the SUSE VMWare image to capture the key binding and remap, but I do not have anyway of turning Num Lock on or off to capture
the key binding.
Suggestions ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello and welcome,
A couple of things you might try. Don't know if they'll work on your W. They do work on some other Lenovo machines.
Plug in a USB keyboard that has numlock. Use that and see if it sticks after reboot.
Use the on-screen keyboard. Click "options" and enable numeric keypad. That should add a keypad and NUMLOCK key to the on-screen keyboard. Use that. See if it works - and if it sticks.

Problem with Edit IN function between LR 2.3 and PS CS3

I recently upgraded my system to a Windows Vista 64 bit Core 2 Quad with 8 GB. Lightroom now works and loads images the way it should. I do have one major concern and need any help possible.
I am using LR 2.3 in 64 bit and PS CS3 ver 10.0.1 (which is 32 bit - loads slowly but otherwise works fine). The problem I am encountering is in LR Develop / Photo / Edit In... - using any of the menu items:
"Edit in Abode Photoshop CS3"
"Open as Smart Object In Photoshop"
"Merge to Panorama in Photoshop"
"Merge to HDR in Photoshop"
"Open as layers in Photoshop"
Photoshop opens but no image(s) are exported and I receive the message in LR - "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS3 could not be launched."
Photoshop, however, was launched but no image exported and so I can't work on the image in PS. The appropriate TIFF image is created in LR for the first two menu items - nothing for the last three menu items.
I can create a partial work around by setting PS as an external editor, however, I can't use 4 of 5 of the menu items.
All the menu items work fine in Windows XPpro.
Any help is much appreciated.
PS I also tried the most recent Window 7 RC with exactly the same results.
Thanks
Bob

I wasn't shouting - I just cut and paste the exact text and font in its original size and type as was shown in the message. Never had a thought that someone would be offended by cutting and pasting exactly what was in a message - it would appear that John Williams saw it for what it was.
However, sorry if I offended you.

How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer

PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S. Please I need help to continue believing in Apple. Thanks a lot. If anybody speak spanish better.

Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller? Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones. The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
Try these steps, as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)
4. Restore Phone in iTunes using a backup
5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup

I have a problem with the iTunes Store, I have an ipod and an iphone 2. I have a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 2007, entering into iTunes Store on the main screen I get only AppStore, Podcast and iTunes U. In my screen I get only ipad2 Podcast, iTunes U Downloads. My problem is I can not access any application to download music, videos, books, etc..
ITunes will be installed wrong or what should I do to activate these options?

Go to the front page of the Store, and click Change Country. Make sure it is set to the country where you actually are.
Then you will be able to see everything that is for sale in your country, which, depending where you live, might or might not include music.

When I connect my nano to my computer I receive the following message: There is a problem with this drive. Scan the drive now and fix it.
In addition, when I connect my nano, my computer does recognize but the library and playlists in my Itunes is not the same as the library/playlists on my ipod (on this ipod). If I purchase new songs from itunes, they go to the library on the computer but I cant get them to the ipod playlist.

bump, I have same issue. thanks, MM

I had problem with my apps,they open for a while and closes with in seconds i cant acess them

i had problem with my apps,they open for a while and closes with in seconds i cant acess them and i had this with all apss,expect apple apps

Do you have a lot of apps? Did you use a lot of apps recently? If so, many of them may still be resident in memory even if you aren't currently using them. Double-tap the home key and you should see the app tray with a list of most recently used programs. Press and hold the icons in the tray and remove the ones you don't use often to remove them from memory. Powering off and then back on might also help.
My wife's iPod does that sometimes, and it's usually because we run out of memory due to apps remaining in memory even when not used. The suggestion above is how we normally fix the problems.

Same problem as well as the network failure. Apple Care was suggesting a full reinstall and I declined. I thought it worked once but I can't be sure ... it might have been Skype which works perfectly.

I do not recommend reformatting your harddrive and reloading your software. This is a Windows thing. On an older mac it may be difficult to find all your software again.
Best to have greater than 2gig of free space. Many posters to these forums state that you need much more free space: 5 gig to 10 gig or 10 percent of you hd size.

Be careful when deleting files. A lot of people have trashed their system when deleting things. Place things in trash. Reboot & run your applications. Empty trash.
Go after large files that you have created & know what they are. Do not delete small files that are in a folder you do not know what the folder is for. Anything that is less than a megabyte is a small file these days.

Buy an external firewire harddrive.
For a PPC computer, I recommend a firewire drive.
Has everything interface:
FireWire 800/400 + USB2, + eSATA 'Quad Interface'
save a little money interface:
FireWire 400 + USB 2.0
This web page lists both external harddrive types. You may need to scroll to the right to see both.
