I am running Fusion 3.01 and it's not showing as a 64 bit app under Activity Monitor. I am booted in 64 bit Kernel. According to some press documentation, Fusion is supposed to work a lot faster in 64 bit mode. Any ideas how to get Fusion to work in 64 bit mode? Reinstall it?
View 1 RepliesWhen I boot Fusion with MacAffee I get a message that there is an updated version of Fusion is ready for download. When I go to the site I'm offered a choice of just Fusion or Fusion with MacAffee. Since the boot message only talks about Fusion should I do the only Fusion download. Or should I get the combined one?

When running the VM (Fusion 3.1, running Win7 Home ed. 2GB RAM, no 3D, 1 CPU) on my 2010 MBP (Core i5, 4GB) I get quite a lot of beachballing in the OS X part, as well as general slowdown. Looks like there is very little RAM available (40MB free)
I have a DVD for my physics class that only can be opened in Windows for whatever reason (I also have a game I want to use). OS X recognizes it, but when I boot into Windows 7 (RTM Build 7600) in VMware Fusion, I see no sign of it.
How do I open it?
I tried searching around and there are many threads regarding parallel vs fusion but my question is if either or both could run Win 7 64 bit. I read that Parallel is somewhat faster than fusion.
View 8 Replies View RelatedRunning Fusion on my 2+ year old MBP has become a near hopeless frustration. When I first got the machine, it ran pretty well, but it hasn't for quite awhile now. It tends to be sluggish to the point of uselessness. Currently, I'm doing a trial of Fusion 3. I'm a licensed owner of the prior versions.
I don't need it much, but when I do, I really need it. I gave up on using it with Windows 7, which is fine, XP will do. Once in awhile, I'll run it and all will be well. Other times, most of the time, it's unusable. I see no pattern to what makes it run well or not. Earlier today, I rebooted and started Fusion all by itself and didn't run anything else. Didn't help much.
Anyone had these problems and found a solution? I see lots of people with problems and plenty of others without. But not many who've bridged the gap.
Anyone tried to boot the Windows 7 XP Mode withi Parallels or VM Ware Fusion? Would be interesting to know if that works?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just moved over to Fusion from Parallels. I've installed Windows 7 64-bit and everything appears fine. However, when I go to switch from NAT to bridged networking I lose my Internet and local network connection.
Windows reports the network as "public" and throws up an exclamation point which says no Internet or local network.
Once you click on the network icon and look at the network adapter it shows that the adapter has an IP address from my Apple AirPort Router, but no default gateway.
Windows 7 diagnostics reports that it can't find the default gateway. However, if I manually set the default gateway (which I'm assuming is my router at 10.0.1.1) in the advanced network settings it doesn't take and just disappears after clicking OK.
I've also tried manually setting a static IP address in network settings within Windows 7, and like before it accepts the IP address but then Windows 7 diagnostics reports there's no DHCP server.
On the Airport Router side, I can go into logs and statistics and see that VMWare has obtained an IP address.
Both Windows and OS X's firewalls are off. I've tried reinstalling VMWare Tools and Fusion 3.0. I've deleted and reinstalled the network adapter (in Fusion) over and over.
In Parallels, if you used bridged networking Parallels would put two new "connections" inside your Network system preference. I noticed Fusion doesn't do that.
I don't know what else to try. I've read their support forums and bridged networking documents, but nothing appears to stand out. Everything works fine with NAT.
I am having trouble booting up my windows 7 bootcamp, whenever i try to bootup it would give me some screen right after the windows logo and it'll say to repair or somthing, is this a common problem?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow can I get files from the Mac OS side over to the VMware/Windows side where I can work on them with Windows apps?
Moving files from Windows XP/VMware Fusion to a destination on the Mac OS side is as easy as dragging files over to Finder and dropping them when the Finder window becomes active. However, I haven't been able to do the reverse operation.
There's got to be an easy way to move files from the Mac side over to XP/VMware.. But I might lose my mind before I discover it.
when the new MBP refresh happens ill be getting a 17" MBP to replace my current HP laptop, Iv seen Apple say that both VM Fusion and Parallels can be used to run Windows Applications but which is better? as I dont see much difference just by looking at screenshots why do they advertise 2?

Inside of the iTunes program I have gone through all the songs to see if they have album art and they do, it shows up in fine in iTunes. However, with certain songs in Front Row they do not show up. I was wondering what the problem would be here. Does the actual song file have to have the art embedded or something like this? Has anyone else had this issue with their album art not always showing up in Front Row?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAlright so I downloaded a season of Lost on iTunes and two of the episodes were mislabeled. Episode 13 should have been 16 and 16 should have been 13. So I swapped all of the info but the episode description did not change. It is correct in iTunes, but when I switch to Front Row the episode descriptions are incorrect. Is there a way to edit "info" in Front Row or make it recognize changes in iTunes? I was under the impression that it would do this automatically. Not sure what is wrong here.

Once I have imported a CD, I then open the album information tab and locate the artwork. I then go to my iTunes music folder in Finder, but the artwork is not showing in the thumbnail tracks for the albums I have re-imported; the artwork shows in iTunes, but not Finder.

I have created an iMovie project with iMovie 08. On the project window I could see my pictures as I have imported, in the perfect order and with the correct orientation. I just installed iLife09 and I opened the project on iMovie09. The project window shows pictures in a random order, the orientation of some pictures are wrong (upside down, portrait etc). But to my surprise if I play the video or move the mouse over the pictures it shows the correct picture on the preview window.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I go to play a song in iTunes (any song at all, and all the files are definitely there) it just won't play. The play/pause button will change to the pause symbol but nothing else will happen.

Currently running Windows 7 and the latest version of iTunes but this happened before when I was on Vista too. Seems to happen every time I open iTunes now...
