CharlieVM Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I'm running windows 7 business 64 I have Lion 10.7.2 installed on VMWare workstation 8. I've install the vmtool found in the Unlocker for Windows & Workstation 8 Build 471780, in the darwin.iso. I can copy text from lion and paste the text host machine, but when I copy text from host machine and try paste it into Lion it doesn't response, Anyone have any ideas why it happens or have any similar problems?

iMave.23 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I'm having the same problem. Meanwhile I retype texts if they are short and transfer them via a text file on a shared directory if they are longer. Would be great if anyone has a solution for this one.

Tried with isolation.tools.copy.disable=”FALSE” isolation.tools.paste.disable=”FALSE” but didn't work too.. If you are running Workstation 8 you need darwin.iso v500, 401 or 402 not 312, that is for Workstation 7, see link below: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1750634 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/271506-help-copy-and-paste-vmware-workstation-8/#findComment-1768366 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieVM Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 I fixed it, it's the wackiest fix you can imagine go to VMWare workstation click on Edit -> Preference -> Input uncheck Ungrab when cursor leaves window (need ctrl + alt + delete, task manager to get out of Lion) go back and recheck Ungrab when cursor leaves window, set optimize mouse for game to always, click ok then go back in and undo the change: Edit -> Preference -> Input check Grab keyboard and mouse input on key press uncheck keyboard and mouse input on key press set optimize mouse for game to automatic Don't know why but it worked copy and paste in and out of vm works fine now. Also i found when using xcode, mouse is a bit jerky, set the optimize mouse for game to true seen to fix it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/271506-help-copy-and-paste-vmware-workstation-8/#findComment-1769041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kszo Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Fixed Lion by using Darwin 401. Darwin 500 failed. Still no luck with Snow Leopard, will try as Charlie says.
