MarcoPolo Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I'm very happy to say that I have been able to create two different installs of OSX Mountain Lion; one using VirtualBox and the other using VMWare. They both work reasonably well. My question is around running a particular application: Keynote. I purchased a copy of Keynote but it is unusable on both instances. The slide preview appears on the left bar, but there is no image in the main edit window. Have tried everything I can: 3D graphics are enabled, i've thrown about 128MB of VRAM at it, but no solution. Has anyone encountered this problem? Any ideas or solutions? I really don't want to buy a Mac just so I can use this app. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimentel Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Hello.WelcomeYou do not have QE/CI because it Keynote doesn't work ...What are your settings?Put in your signature is very best to help you ...But my solution is that you install OSX not emulate it, many things doesn't work with emulation, one of them is the QE/CI.If you already have OS X installed on VM then create a USB bootable with OS X(Sl,L or ML) to install it. download or purchase the image. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcoPolo Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Thanks very much for the suggestion. In both cases I've installed ML 10.8.3 on the Virtual Machine rather than 'emulated' it. I assume that is what you meant. I'm wondering if it's just that my graphics card is unsupported for QE/CI. I've looked into the Mac's System Information and all it says about Graphics/Displays is: "Chipset Model: Vmware SVGA II Type: GPU Bus:PCI VRAM (Total): 128MB then some device and vendor ids and some details on resolution... nothing specific about QE/CI. Many thanks for any thoughts. ------ Settings?

Pimentel Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Hello.Ok, but i wanna meant you need realy installe it... install in your hardware. Chipset Model: Vmware SVGA II Type: GPU Bus:PCI VRAM (Total): 128MB I talk about this, emulation don't use or show your real hardware, only use a fake hardwar to emulate.

MarcoPolo Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Oh I see. No, I'm not going to do that. I want to run a Windows machine but need the ability to run Mac OSX (and specifically, run Keynote) in a Virtual Image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimentel Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Hello.You can "split" your HD to run Windows and OS X.See how: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/256729-lion-installation-via-usb-stick-using-chameleon/ I never tested this guide, but you need have a OS X already installed.If you have 2 HD you can install Win in one and os X in other, more easy.

MarcoPolo Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Interesting idea, thanks. I'll think about it and report back if I try it. A shame that this can't work in virtual mode, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
