Hello,
I cannot start existing or install new virtual machines on Fusion 6.0.6, running MacOS 10.12.6 on Macbook early 2015.
Fusion itself starts well, but when I try to run or install virtual machine nothing happens. Black screen and nothing. If I try to quit Fusion it refuses to quit saying virtual machine is "busy".
Same virtual machines run without problems on Macbook with OS X 11.
Any help will be appreciated.

I am wondering how can I do to get the 1280x720 window size. I installed a Mac guess on Mac to create a tutorial about the high sierra. I need the fusion window in these dimensions.
Thanks.
I just upgraded my Fusion to 8.5.10 and now I no longer have network access on two images I've been using for over a year which were just fine.
Even after I upgraded to High Sierra (10.13.2) everything worked fine.
It was only after the Fusion 8.5 that the network started failing.
I tried creating new ISO machines from Ubuntu server 16.10 and 16.04 and both fail to detect the network (tried both NAT and Bridge (Autodetect)).
What happened?
Existing VMs of guest OS X work fine, but any new, or VM that upgraded to "hardware 14" and the latest VMware tools installed, will not change the guest's display resolution no matter what settings are chosen. Either in Fusion Preferences or the guest's display settings. Going full screen doesn't work either, the display for the guest remains the same resolution.
I'm not on a retina display but it makes no difference if I chose "Use full resolution for Retina Display" or not.
It makes no difference if I choose "Use Fusion Display Preferences", "Resize the virtual machine and the window" or "Stretch the virtual machine in the window" (or the screen versions). It always behaves in the "stretch" mode.
There are no choices in display resolution in the guest's System Preferences->Displays other than the size it is stuck on (1024x768)
VMware says internal error anytime I try to install windows 10.Been trying to fix this problem for a week.
I upgraded recently from Fusion 8.x to 10.1.1 and after the upgrade I can't cut and paste between the host and the virtual machine any longer.
VMware Tools 10.2.0.x are installed, and the checkbox "Enable cut and paste" in the Isolation preferences is set. Everything else seems to be in working order.
Any ideas on what could be wrong?
Hi,
I don't find, using Google, any suitable documentation which may define how to connect (e.g.: ssh) 2 guest VMs running on 2 different hosts
The network adapter cannot be set to a Bridget Network as the DHCP server on a Time Capsule doesn't give any DHCP address.
Only the NAT configuration (Shared with my Mac) is working correctly to connect to the internet.
None of the local resources: other time capsules, printer, router are accessible from the VM (e.g.: macOS 10.3.3
How to configure the vmnet8 (network, dhcp.conf, etc.) on both hosts to allow the 2 guests to see each others and to access to the local network resources?
Hello all! Since installing Vmware fusion 10 I have no applications menu in my Mac's menu bar, and I can't find any way to enable it in the software preferences. Is this a default change in Vmware fusion 10? Or am I experiencing a glitch? Thanks!
A couple of weeks ago I upgraded to Fusion 10 .1.0 on a Macbook Pro Retinea runing MacOS 10.13.2 . Everything had been working OK since.
Earlier today I upgraded to Fusion v10.1.1
In among the upgrade messages was am message recommending I upgrade to from hardware version 10 to hardware version 14 (Virtual Machine -> Settings -> Compatability), so I did.
Eventually I realized I no longer have internet acess. If I click on the network icon in my Windows tray, it says "Unidentified network. No Internet access." I have tried the various "diagnose" and "troubleshoot" options, to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Although I wish there was an was easy fix (I've tired a bunch in this forum and elsewehere), with a fresh install of macOS 10:13 followed by Fusion 10.0 yields new and existing VMs with the error: Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to. I've also noticed that the Network settings are greyed out.
and
FYI, I've created a case with Support, escalated the case, but no resolution. I've tried tried adjusting the extended attributes, creating new users, multiple uninstalls (manual and assisted with cleaners), reboots, power offs, etc.
If there are others out there, I feel your pain.

Really strange issue that I cannot figure out for the life of me.
On my iMac I have Windows 10 installed on VMware fusion (whatever the current version is). While working on the machine, my mouse pointer has been frequently blinking. Not a huge deal, but weird nonetheless. 32 gigs of ram (16 allocated to VM). 512GB SSD. Nicely spec'd iMac.
However, when I remote to my computer from home (iMac is work computer, and I use Splashtop Business to remote in) everything works fine on the remote computer, until I open VMware to run Windows. Mouse pointer works fine, then as soon as I log in to Windows, mouse pointer disappears and only keyboard works. I have multiple monitors on the host computer, and when I switch to the other monitor (that does not have Vmware open) the mouse works fine. Switch back to the monitor with VMWare/Windows and the mouse does not work. This only occurs when I remote in via Splashtop.
I apologize if this is hard to understand, it is a really strange occurrence. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated as I am a CPA coming up on busy season, and work from home often. Also, I never had this problem before until I upgraded from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro (via VMware fusion).
Hello,
I have created a High Sierra VM on Fusion 10 running on my rMBP. Despite the 4 core and the 8MB assigned to the VM, it is super slow, especially the graphical refresh.
It is hardly usable.
Is there a way to make it faster?
Ps, the other machines, among them a Windows 10 machine, run quite smoothly.
Thanks for helping,

Just upgraded to Fusion 10.1.1 and my MacOS10.13.3. I can not see my shares. I tried to update the VMTools and it says it is too new. What am I missing?

I have High Sierra (10.13.3) host OS running Fusion 10.1.1 on a late 2011 MBP.
Whilst updating a guest VM running High Sierra 10.13 to 10.13.3... the update downloads fine, and then the update's installation process initiates a reboot of the VM. Upon restarting, the progress bar advances, the VM reboots again, the progress bar advances again, and eventually the progress bar disappears and all I see is a dark screen with an white apple logo. At this point the restart process is hung (I've left it sit like this for many hours). The host OS shows that the VM is using 100% of one CPU core (apparently in a tight loop).
To eliminate other variables (like 3rd party software, drivers, etc) I've created a new/fresh High Sierra 10.13 guest VM (Just an OS, no other software in the VM). I snapshot'd the VM before proceeding to the installation of the 10.13.3 update, so that I could run a number of different test permutations, reverting back to the snap shot between each test.
After numerous tests I've observed that;
- If I configure the VM with only 1 vCPU, the update installation completes successfully every time.
- If I configure the VM with 4 vCPU's the update installation process will hang (as described above).
- If I configure the VM with 4 vCPU's, and nvram boot-args="-v", the restart will sometimes complete, but still sometimes hangs.
The symptoms are similar to those reported by cragsdale1 in this thread but without FileVault in the guest VM.
Good news - this is easily and 100% re-creatable.
This would seem to suggest some sort of race (or deadlock) condition in Apple's update logic for 10.13.3.
Or, maybe in the VMware hypervisor?
Wondering if anyone else is seeing this? Thoughts anyone?
I installed a Windows 10 update recently and now I can't save files anymore, I get a "file not save" message or a file is created with zero bytes size. Is there a fix for this?
Thank you.
I'm running VMware 5.0.5 on a Mountain Lion iMac. I have just finished setting up a new Windows 8.1 VM here. When I should clean up the virtual disk it just froze though and after that I can no longer start this virtual machine (message above appears). I suppose that it has become corrupted. Is there a way to repair such a machine?
I attach a fresh .tgz-file here if it helps...
I recently upgraded to a 2017 iMac and have the bluetooth keyboard / mouse combo. Quite regularly, when I start Fusion (not a VM, just the Library window) the bluetooth connections to my keyboard and mouse are immediately broken and most of the time I have to reboot to re-establish those connections. Sometimes it happens when I shutdown the Library window (no VM running)
I've contacted Apple Support and went through the NVRam / SMC resets and that did not resolve the issue. This is quite a pain as I usually have to reboot the machine to get the connections back.
Since it happens quite regularly for me, I'm quite open to turning on any debugging etc that you would need to resolve this issue.

Hiya,
I had a problem I posted a while back where I had a new (to me!) mac running High Sierra which I installed the VMWare Fusion 10 trial on but I could no longer install VMs on - I tried various versions of ubuntu installer DVD images and they'd all get missing / corrupt file problems. In the end it turned out that this appears to be due to high sierra converting the system drive to APFS...! When I re-tested using an external disk formatted with HFS it then worked properly.
As a result, I spent quite a few hours re-installing my machine back to HFS / Sierra so I could use VMWare properly again. Now, I can't find any public tech note or bug report about this to find out if it's still a problem or fixed - has anyone here experience the same problem and can say what the current state of affairs is? Im not keen on upgrading and then finding that I need to go through the process of rolling back again!
Thanks...
