    Sequoia as Virtual Machine on Intel (Fusion or Parallels).

    What progress are others making to get Sequoia running as a VM? I have a Sequoia supported Intel host (iMac 2019) running macOS 14.5 and VMware Fusion 13.5.2 (latest). But I am interested in Parallels as well. I can create Sequoia ISO, create new VM (tell Fusion it macOS 14), boot from the ISO...

    Parallels vs VMware Fusion (can we save money?)

    Intro So, with VMware Fusion Pro now being free, I wanted to do some testing to see if I can make the switch from Parallels, and save myself from having to renew my Parallels at the end of next month. I've been running Parallels on Appel Silicon since 2021, and VMware Fusion Player on Apple...

    iPad Pro Stage Manager + Horizon (VDI)

    Hello all, Perhaps a very specific question. Does anyone use the VMWare Horizon client with Stage Manager? Have you tried it on an external display? My work is locked into using Windows. Is it easy to work with Windows and iOS apps? A common use is utilizing Notion or Zoom while logged into...

    VMware Hackintosh works ONLY with my Apple ID associated with a phone number, but not with the 2nd Apple ID that isn't associated with a phone number.

    Hello I'm hoping that someone can help me solve this perplexing problem.... I've been running a VMWare Hackintosh for many years and iMessage works just fine. However, I created a 2nd Apple ID and I can't get it working on the same Hackintosh. Here is the breakdown: Apple ID #1 - My primary...

    VMware Fusion: graphics keep crashing

    I've been using VMware Fusion to virtualize Windows 10 on a late-2013 MacBook Pro for years. Around August, I started playing around with Windows 11. This mostly worked, but I frequently ran into a bug where WPF apps would crash. Event Viewer would show something like: Application: devenv.exe...

    Has macOS become a useless platform for virtualization?

    So, I've had a frustrating weekend. Decided to setup a Linux VM in two different hypervisors - VirtualBox naturally since its free. Didn't work as seen in the screenshot below. The issue was not specific to Linux itself, which I initially thought it was. The problem affects existing Windows VMs...

    Age of Empires III for Mac (MacSoft Version)

    Hello Everyone, With the recent update to Catalina, I am no longer able to play my old copy of Age of Empires III since it is 32-bit software. I saw that some folks are installing older versions of macOS on as virtual machines to use their old 32-bit apps, so I figured I would give that a try...

    Catalina 10.15.2 update freezes on Apple Logo in ESXi 6.7u VM

    Greetings! So I managed to get a Catalina 10.15 vm up and running in ESXi 6.7u2. When I try to install Catalina updates, however, it goes to the Apple logo, status bar moves ever so slightly, reboots again and this time hangs on the Apple logo. To fix this, I either remove or disable "Mac OS"...

    macOS 10.15 Catalina on VM

    Has anyone successfully been able to get Catalina running on a VM? I made a quick attempt to upgrade a Mojave VM running on ESXI 6.7U2 yesterday but it did not appear to work. I have not had time to debug yet but will try again later.

    VMWare Fusion on 6 Core 2018 MBP?

    Can anyone confirm if VMW Fusion 10 pro runs on the 2018 15” MBPs. On their website, VMW specifically excludes past 6 core models. There is no mention of 2018 models. I havent yet received my machine else I would have tried it myself TIA

    VMWare Fusion battery life Win10 vs Win7 as VM

    Anyone else have experience / measurements as to whether Win10 is more efficient as a VM under Fusion compared to Win7? On the one hand - Win10 probably has more going on in the background - on the otherhand I would guess that is has been designed with the idea of a mobile world...

    VMWare Fusion 8.5.8 + APFS VMs

    If you have Fusion, they just released 8.5.8 a few days ago, although it appears they are yet to publish official documentation as the release notes are blank. I just tried upgrading a Sierra VM to High Sierra with APFS as it looked like some non-English site said 8.5.8 supports it. Where as...
