In TextEdit from guest and paste it to host's TextEdit. It only supports copy text between guest and host. Team: For MacOS guest, Drag & Drop/Copy & Paste file is not supported, These were the inputs which were shared directly from the engineering The engineering team and they have confirmed that we do not support The feature may have worked in the earlier builds or may work Which lists the limitations for VMware Fusion 8.5.8 and also for the ** Please do not change the subject line of this email if you wish to respond. I just got this email from VMware claiming that this feature does not work: Problem solved except I want to get to the bottom of it to keep it from happening in the future. I updated the guest machine to 10.12.6 and drag and drop started to work again. What can I try to get drag and drop to work again? If someone could run a quick video of drag and drop working on they similar setup I would appreciated getting a copy so I could send it to VMWare to get them to take my issue seriously.

I am quite sure that I use drag and drop between the guest and host previously as it is part of my development workflow.įurther supporting my claim that it previously worked I previously submitted a ticket about it not working, but by the time the support person got back to me I had to reboot and no longer had a test case for them to work on. They sent me this link supposedly supporting that, but by my reading it does not support their claim: I contacted VMWare and they declined support because they claim it does not work and it never worked. Usually I can reboot and it will start to work again.

Periodically drag and drop stops working. literally the simplest fix that i could not think of worked.I am using VMWare Fusion 8.5.8 on MacOS 10.12.6 with a guest of MacOS 10.12.5.

The point is changes made to the bios regarding virtual technologies for whatever reason actually require you to do a full power cycle which includes unplugging your system, do not ask me why, all I know is it fixed the problem I have been struggling with for months. This method works for both parallels and vmware fusion. This solved the problem on High Sierra 10.13.6 with VMWare Fusion 11.5.1 Bruno Ferreira.

Solved the issue on my High Sierra 10.13.6 with VMware Fusion 8.5.10 Carl R.
#Does vmware fusion 8.5 work on sierra mac#
If this worked please repost this message to others, alot of people are struggling with this. Tested this with Vmware 8.0.0 & VMware 10 it works ( mac High sierra v 10.13.2 ) Share. It should work since I had the same type of issue as you i can guarantee it. Continue running it, you can also enable hypervisor. I am eagerly awaiting Fusion 10 to see if I can drop PD11 altogether and move forward with a platform that is being actively developed. Id rather not have to switch to VMWare Fusion as 8.5 leaves a few things to be desired BUT it does support multiple monitors properly. From there start up the vm and when it asks to make changes before boot, check that, go to the advanced tab, it should look like a gear, when in those settings it should have something that asks what to use for virtualization it will be on auto, change that to VT-x and such and such and then close that tab and give it 4 cpu's some RAM and if you can more video memory. So far Parallels 11 is working for me in High Sierra. Ok i have the solution which will work, assuming your cpu supports VT-x, in clover run boot flag dart=0, go into bios/uefi and enable intel virtualization, save and reset, then boot into clover, use clover to turn off the system, when it shuts down unplug the computer and wait for all power to drain ie: no lights on in the system, plug it back in start it as usual make sure you have bootflag dart=0 enabled in clover options. Ive found a new solution which primarily works in VMware fusion 8.5, but also generally works in parallels as well, i managed to boot win 10 with this method, I will quote myself from a previous post i made elsewhere to save time Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide
