Download Virtualbox For Mac Os X Yosemite

Socratis wrote:A couple of notes on your tutorial: • You should be using the VirtualBox-native VDI format for your hard disk, not the fragile VMDK. • The memory bug that you refer to, isn't necessarily valid, so change it to a potential warning. I tried it on mine with up to 8 GB of RAM and 128 MB VRAM. It booted just fine.

Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 desktop Yosemite includes various improvements over previous versions, one of the most prominent being the introduction of FaceTime, which is part of the Continuitypackage whicl allows users to accept and send calls from their computers in OS X 10.10.

More details on Other than that, nicely done. Great you liked it. Some questions/remarks: - what makes VMDK more fragile than the VDI format? I always thought that VMDK is better because it is supported by other VMs too. I am wrong here? - I tried the 8 GB RAM setup with Mavericks. At least it booted but it did not allocate the RAM.

Looking into top at the host reveals: 68961 VirtualBoxVM 254.7 58:25.43 27/4 1 279 2238 3758M 67M 3815M And looking into the guests top: PhysMem: 2457M used (337M wired), 1127M unused. So those 8 GB work now half way at least, but are sham, only 3,5 GB of RAM are usable. So seems to be just partly fixed. I reported it for 4.3.14 regards, IOOI Posts: 48 Joined: 14.

As I said in the bug report, the 'Activity Monitor' and 'top' reveal only 3.5 GB allocated. On the other hand, 'About this Mac' and 'System Profiler' report 8 GB. And the VBox.log is quite happy to report that it has allocated 8 GB.

Which makes me believe that there is a discrepancy on the Mac guest as to where it's getting its memory information from. I vaguely remember that the VBox's EFI implementation only passes 3.5 GB to the client, but I could be way wrong. Now, why the Mac reports two numbers for the memory is beyond my comprehensive capabilities. Unfortunately EFI was implemented in VirtualBox just to support the Mac guests, so there is no way at this moment to test it with another type of client. As for the VMDK format, I got the information from these forums here, mainly by Don (mpack) who has a really deep understanding of the virtual disk formats.

He's the author of the CloneVDI tool. Search for 'mpack VMDK'. Just installed 10.10.1 on my 10.10.1 host. Clip studio paint for mac. Personally I don't find it very usable.

I noticed quite a few anomalies. No matter what I set the VRAM to, in About This Mac the graphics memory always says 8MB. If I set the RAM to 8GBs it does recognize it although about 6GBs is used. On the other hand the CPU% usage is very low at idle. The mouse is very sluggish even with tracking turned all the way up.

The CPU is listed as Unknown in About This Mac although the processor speed is correct. Overall performance isn't great which without 3D acceleration is to be expected. To be honest, I don't know why OSX is listed as a supported guest because of all the hoops one has to jump through to get a particular OSX version to run on a particular Mac. Plus it has never had guest addition support. Just my thoughts. Edit: I forgot to mention I set the CPU count to 2 but the guest thinks it has 1 CPU with 2 threads.

It tackles this bug just in part: is closed now but is still open and says: 'Partly fixed in VBox 4.3.20. The ICH9 problem is still not fixed but with PIIX3 it's possible to announce more than 3.5G to the guest.' So there's some hope to get this fixed somewhat soon Posts: 48 Joined: 14.
