I'm going through this whole process just to import my password manager passwords into the new ios password app.... and play around with MacOS, maybe my next laptop will be a mac
Thanks so much for the Tutorial Even the links to download the VMware tools worked - perfect!!! My PC does not have a dedicated graphics card and i see that i unable to switch on the option for 3D acceleration in VMware Workstation. I am unable to play any videos and i noticed when i launch React Native app it just turns on the iphone simulator and the RN app does not show up in the simulator
Great video, do you have a video with installing Sequoia on a AMD windows pc ? I attempted to download Sequoia using the gibmacos, it downloaded the file, but I did not see a dmg file in the folder
Thank you jensdbe for this wonderful tutorial f mac os install. forever indebted for this help, if possible, please make an update to this video and also I would love to collaborate with you in the video. I am also a small UA-cam channel and content creator. let's connect online and create a podcast and share more knowledge to the world. please to hear from you back on the request.
This is the only way that worked for me everything flawless, only problem i get is half way through the upgrade to sonoma when mac restarts i get a your computer restarted because of a problem error i tried upgrading also to ventura and get the same error, anyone got any idea?
Thanks for this video. It worked, but I find the performance of the VM to be really bad? 4 cores and 16 GB RAM and it seems to run really crappy. VMWare Tools also installed. Anyone know how to fix? Thanks again for your work. :)
@jensd_be do you know if you preform a software update to VMWare Workstation, will it remove the Auto-Unlocker modification and make your macOS VM fail?
Love the video, excellent and easy to follow, but when I try to patch VMWare Workstation with Auto-Unlocker 2.0.1 it keeps telling me there is an error and it cannot open vmwarebase.dll I have checked and the file exists, I also gave the SYSTEM full administrative rights over the file in its properties. I tried running Auto-Unlocker as an Admin, but nothing works. Any suggestions?
Hi, good job, step by step Tutorial is very perfect ,but I have deleted the 2Gb Catalina drive file and now my Sonoma is very slow and hardly respond please how can I downgrade the OS ?
Thanks a lot man. I know how painful it is to search for the "correct" solution among tons of shit in the internet. I'm SOOOOOO glad i found your video as the very first try on setting up macOS for Windows. Thanks a lot for this amazing work! You deserve a million likes
Hey, i have an issue. Once the update to sonoma is done bluetooth doesn't work anymore. It turns on but no device is shown in "nearby device". I set up a bluetooth connection through a tp link bluetooth usb
Hi Sir, It was a great video. I have tried all the steps that you mentioned in the video and in the last I turned on the virtual machine I got the below error. "Your computer restarted with the problem occurred"
Getting "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine" on my AMD system. Applying the extra AMD configuration in the comment on your blog causes it to just fail to start. Any idea?
Wonderful job done, I have followed these instructions and managed to run the 1st VM of macOS on my Windows 10 desktop. One question, is the GPU on the host machine ( mine 6750xt) accessible for the VM ? Should I do some configuration ? Thanks!
As far as I know you can't fully use the card in the VM. You can try to enable 3D acceleration in the VM settings but in my experience that did not improve graphical performance
Cuando ejecuto la maquina virtual, me sale un aviso que dice: The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine
I think this is related to a change since VMware Workstation where it will try to use Hyper-V under the hood to do the virtualization if that is enabled on your Windows install. If your CPU is too old to support that you will probably get that message. You can disable Hyper-V in windows as follows: 1) Open a command prompt as Administrator 2) Run: bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off 3) Reboot your Windows host To re-enable it, just repeat the same but use the following instead: bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
Hi, I am having issue with powering the VM on with the following error message: Unable to load configuration file 'C:\Users\vikto\Documents\Virtual Machines\macOS\macOS.vmx'. File "C:\Users\vikto\Documents\Virtual Machines\macOS\macOS.vmx" line 63: Syntax error.
@@sva9629 this means that you probably made a mistake while editing the VM file. Best to double-check the lines you edited. Likely you forgot a closing double-quote or something similar.
As explained in the video, Apple changed the format in which you can download newer OS-images (releases after Catalina) which makes it hard (or even impossible) to make bootable/usable from a Windows machine. The same problem exists to create bootable media (like a USB drive for example) to do a clean install on a real/physical Mac. Honestly I don't understand why Apple doesn't release a tool to create a bootable USB drive for macOS installation for Windows. But Microsoft doesn't make it easy the other way around either.
