Everything worked except when after installing VMware tools and hit restart, the system stays on and it's just the MacOS stuck in black screen and needs to be force restart or shut down.
Here are some steps to help you break free from that black screen limbo: 1. Enable Auto-Login Before Reboot: o Before you reboot your macOS Sonoma VM after installing VMware Tools, make sure to enable auto-login. o Here’s how: Go to System Preferences (you can find it by clicking the Apple logo in the top-left corner). Open Users & Groups. Click the lock icon at the bottom left to make changes. Under Login Options, select your user account from the “Automatic login” dropdown (usually the admin account). Save your changes by entering your password and clicking OK. o This ensures that your VM doesn’t get stuck in the black screen abyss after a restart. 2. Recovery Mode Magic (If Needed): o If you’ve already encountered the black screen issue, don’t worry-we’ve got a backup plan. o Boot your VM into recovery mode: Reboot the virtual machine and hold down Cmd + R. This will launch the VM in recovery mode. o In the terminal within recovery mode, enter the command: o csrutil disable o Close the terminal and reboot the Mac again. 3. Community Insights: o Sometimes fellow tech adventurers have already faced this challenge. Check forums and discussions related to macOS installations on VMware. o They might have additional tips or workarounds.
@@EpidemicTutorials-qh6de Thanks! Initially this worked, but after update the black screen returned. I fear a MACOS update is blocking VMware ... And, because I used a "Beta" ISO, there is no option to boot into recovery easily. The Cmd-R and Opt-CMD-Shift-R do not work.
Hey, I have a problem. When I turn it on after a few seconds, it crashes and says "Your computer restarted becuase of a problem, press any key" Do you know how to fix?
Hi. I encountered the following problem when trying to install Sonoma. When I start the VM, a BIOS window appears with the texts efi vmware virtual sata hard drive 0.0 efi vmware virtual sata cd rom drive 0.0 I've looked at other solutions, but it all comes down to the fact that there is an Advanced button in the options when configuring the VM. And I don't have such a button. What could be the problem and how to solve it in my case?
make sure your ISO file is bootable or download the ISO file from the link in the video description, also make sure to configure your machine as descripted in the video, this should definitely work

help me I followed your tutorial and successfully installed Sonoma on my VMware, but I fail to install VMware Tools and it says “could not find component on update server” then do I need to manually install VMware Tools? if so, which file should I download?
Here is an answer I found on the internet but I don't have this issue so I can't try it. Try it and let me know if it works, here you go: Update! After pretty much 6 hours of non-stop trying different methods and darwin files (containing the tools), on the 13th attempt of the day, I actually managed to get VMware tools installed on a second VM running macOS Mojave 10.14.2. Here's what I did different in the end. Instead of downloading the darwin.iso directly to the VM, I downloaded it to the host and mounted the iso as a drive on the VM and then went through the install-uninstall-install routine. At the second install, I got prompted to select which users should be effected by the tools install. That one was new. After installing a second time and rebooting the VM, I finally got some result. I got mouse and keyboard to respond well, but the resolution was still messed up. Full screen but wrong res. After messing around with vmware-resolutionset for a while without any real success, I finally fixed the resolution by running this command: sudo /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver DisplayResolutionEnabled -bool NO This got the resolution right and now everything seems to be working fine! Now to see if I can replicate the result. I don't like the double installation part of it (since i don't understand why) and even if i like sudo commands as much as the next guy, I have to say that it troubles me a bit that it was needed to get it working...

Hi Ramlaaal! Enabling transparency in macOS Sonoma on VMware can be a bit tricky, but here are some steps you can try: 1. **Ensure VMware Tools are Installed**: Make sure VMware Tools are installed and up to date in your macOS VM. VMware Tools are essential for enabling various features, including transparency. 2. **Enable 3D Acceleration**: Transparency effects in macOS often require 3D acceleration. To enable this, open your VM settings in VMware, go to the **Display** section, and check the box for **Enable 3D Acceleration**. 3. **Update VMware**: Ensure you're using the latest version of VMware Workstation Player or VMware Workstation Pro. Older versions might not fully support macOS Sonoma. 4. **Check Graphics Settings**: Make sure your host system's graphics card supports 3D acceleration and that it's properly configured in VMware. 5. **Restart the VM**: After making these changes, restart your macOS VM to apply the updates. If you've tried these steps and still don't see transparency effects, it might be due to hardware limitations or compatibility issues. In that case, you might need to consider upgrading your hardware or using a different virtualization software that better supports macOS Sonoma. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or need further assistance.
@@cleon3199 If your macOS Sonoma is stuck on the Apple logo during VMware installation, try these steps: macOS Unlocker: Install it from GitHub to help VMware recognize macOS. Edit VM Settings: Change Guest OS to macOS X 64-bit in VMware settings. Disable Antivirus: Temporarily disable it to see if it helps. Allocate More Resources: Make sure your VM has enough CPU and RAM. Check Logs: Look for errors in the VMware logs. Recreate VM: If all else fails, start fresh with a new VM. Hope this helps!

Hi @JaideepSingh-gb6jw, It sounds like you're encountering the "CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system" error while trying to install macOS Sonoma on VMware with your Ryzen 9 7900X and RTX 4070ti. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue: 1. **Update VMware**: Ensure you're using the latest version of VMware Workstation or VMware Player. Compatibility issues can often be resolved with updates¹. 2. **Modify VMX File**: Edit the `.vmx` file of your virtual machine. Add or modify the following lines: ```plaintext cpuid.0.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011" cpuid.0.ebx = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011" cpuid.0.ecx = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011" cpuid.0.edx = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011" cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011" cpuid.1.ebx = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011" cpuid.1.ecx = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011" cpuid.1.edx = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011" ``` 3. **Enable Virtualization**: Ensure that virtualization (VT-x/AMD-V) is enabled in your BIOS settings². 4. **Disable Hyper-V**: If you're on Windows, make sure Hyper-V is disabled as it can conflict with VMware³. You can disable it by running the following command in Command Prompt as an administrator: ```plaintext bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off ``` 5. **Check Compatibility**: Verify that your hardware is compatible with macOS virtualization. Sometimes, specific configurations might require additional tweaks⁴. I hope these steps help you resolve the issue! If you need further assistance, feel free to ask. Best of luck! 😊
@@EpidemicTutorials-qh6de all it say is "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine." I'm using AMD R5 5500u
Edit the VMX File: Shut down the virtual machine. Navigate to the directory where your virtual machine files are stored. Locate the .vmx file for your virtual machine and open it with a text editor like Notepad. Add the following line at the end of the file: cpuid.0.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011" Save the file and close the text editor. Enable VT-X in BIOS: Restart your computer and enter the BIOS setup (usually by pressing a key like F2, F10, or Delete during startup). Look for an option related to Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-X) and ensure it is enabled. Save the changes and exit the BIOS setup.

Hi and welcome to my humble channel :)
CDROM No Media Error:
This error occurs because there’s no operating system installed in the virtual machine, and no installation disc is inserted in the CD-ROM drive.
To resolve this, insert the macOS Sonoma installation disc (ISO image) into the CD-ROM drive.
Restart the virtual machine and proceed with the installation.
Internal Shell (Unsuccessful) Error:
The “Internal Shell” message appears when no other bootable device is detected.
Verify that the ISO image you’re using is bootable.
Ensure that “Connect at power on” is enabled for the virtual CD/DVD drive in the VM’s settings.
BIOS Message:
If you switch the firmware type from UEFI to BIOS, you’ll see the installation screen.
However, after entering the registration code, you might encounter the “This PC doesn’t support Win 11” message.

- Power on your VM in **windowed mode** (not full-screen).
- Once the VM is up and running, go to the VM menu (usually at the top of the VM window).
- Select **"Install VMware Tools"** from the menu.
- Follow the prompts to install VMware Tools.
3. **Restart the VM**:
- After installing VMware Tools, restart your VM to ensure everything is in sync.
Remember to close the VM before installing VMware Tools to avoid any conflicts. If you encounter any further issues, feel free to ask for additional assistance! 😊
There doesn't seem to be a download for free option for VMware workstation player anymore (at least in the the link provided)
I Just checked the website the option is still there
They have made Workstation Pro free for non-commercial use so there is no reason for Workstation Player anymore.
Hey on ventura one

I followed your tutorial and successfully installed Sonoma on my VMware, but I fail to install VMware Tools and it says “could not find component on update server”
then do I need to manually install VMware Tools? if so, which file should I download?
Here is an answer I found on the internet but I don't have this issue so I can't try it. Try it and let me know if it works, here you go:
Update!
After pretty much 6 hours of non-stop trying different methods and darwin files (containing the tools), on the 13th attempt of the day, I actually managed to get VMware tools installed on a second VM running macOS Mojave 10.14.2.
Here's what I did different in the end.
Instead of downloading the darwin.iso directly to the VM, I downloaded it to the host and mounted the iso as a drive on the VM and then went through the install-uninstall-install routine.
At the second install, I got prompted to select which users should be effected by the tools install. That one was new. After installing a second time and rebooting the VM, I finally got some result. I got mouse and keyboard to respond well, but the resolution was still messed up. Full screen but wrong res.
After messing around with vmware-resolutionset for a while without any real success, I finally fixed the resolution by running this command:
sudo /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver DisplayResolutionEnabled -bool NO
This got the resolution right and now everything seems to be working fine!
Now to see if I can replicate the result. I don't like the double installation part of it (since i don't understand why) and even if i like sudo commands as much as the next guy, I have to say that it troubles me a bit that it was needed to get it working...

Thank you very much! And big LIKE. Easy and clear steps. My Sonoma works slowly (lagging) but I think, the laptop is not power. Good luck!
glad I could help
Hey there. When I play the machine, It says. "Error while powering on: VMware player failed to start the VMware Authorization service. You can try manually starting VMware Authorization Service. If this problem presists, contact VMware support." By any chance, R u willing to help me fix it? Thanks!
@PRANFOL Hi! It sounds like the VMware Authorization Service isn't starting properly. You can try manually starting it by going to 'Services' in Windows, finding 'VMware Authorization Service,' and starting it from there. If the issue persists, you might need to reinstall VMware or check for any updates. I'm here to help if you need more assistance!
@@EpidemicTutorials-qh6de Thankz!
do you know where I could get the tools iso from? can't seem to find it anywhere
I'll post a video on that tomorrow , stick around
I tried to follow the steps but everything stopped as if there was no processing.
My machine is an AMD processor, would there be any difference?
Welcome to my channel l,
To fix this issues u need to do the following:
Use the unlocker program to patch your VMware, allowing you to select macOS during the virtual machine creation process as described in the video.
- Apply the following VMware codes to your VM configuration file (usually named .vmx):
cpuid.0.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011"
cpuid.0.ebx = "0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111"
cpuid.0.ecx = "0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110"
cpuid.0.edx = "0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001"
cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:0111:0001"
cpuid.1.ebx = "0000:0010:0000:0001:0000:1000:0000:0000"
cpuid.1.ecx = "1000:0010:1001:1000:0010:0010:0000:0011"
cpuid.1.edx = "0000:0111:1000:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111"
smbios.reflectHost = "TRUE"
hw.model = "iMacPro1,1"
board-id = "Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94"
serialNumber.reflectHost = "TRUE"
serialNumber = "SERIAL_NO_HERE"
- - Remember to replace SERIAL_NO_HERE with your own serial number and follow any additional steps provided in the tutorials.
- Change the network adapter type to vmxnet3 by adding the line ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3" to the .vmx file.
If you encounter a prohibit sign error during installation, ensure that your virtual machine settings and installation media are correct1.

I need to install a virtual machine of macOS 14 Sonata, and it is also required to support the macOS M1 chip. Can my this demand be realized through your tutorial?
Yes
is there any way i can enable transparency.
Hi Ramlaaal! Enabling transparency in macOS Sonoma on VMware can be a bit tricky, but here are some steps you can try:
1. **Ensure VMware Tools are Installed**: Make sure VMware Tools are installed and up to date in your macOS VM. VMware Tools are essential for enabling various features, including transparency.
2. **Enable 3D Acceleration**: Transparency effects in macOS often require 3D acceleration. To enable this, open your VM settings in VMware, go to the **Display** section, and check the box for **Enable 3D Acceleration**.
3. **Update VMware**: Ensure you're using the latest version of VMware Workstation Player or VMware Workstation Pro. Older versions might not fully support macOS Sonoma.
4. **Check Graphics Settings**: Make sure your host system's graphics card supports 3D acceleration and that it's properly configured in VMware.
5. **Restart the VM**: After making these changes, restart your macOS VM to apply the updates.
If you've tried these steps and still don't see transparency effects, it might be due to hardware limitations or compatibility issues. In that case, you might need to consider upgrading your hardware or using a different virtualization software that better supports macOS Sonoma.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or need further assistance.

@@EpidemicTutorials-qh6de There are no words like that, just the Apple logo appears and it stops there
@@cleon3199 If your macOS Sonoma is stuck on the Apple logo during VMware installation, try these steps:
macOS Unlocker: Install it from GitHub to help VMware recognize macOS.
Edit VM Settings: Change Guest OS to macOS X 64-bit in VMware settings.
Disable Antivirus: Temporarily disable it to see if it helps.
Allocate More Resources: Make sure your VM has enough CPU and RAM.
Check Logs: Look for errors in the VMware logs.
Recreate VM: If all else fails, start fresh with a new VM.

The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine Not working pls help im on RYZEN9 7900x and rtx 4070ti
Hi @JaideepSingh-gb6jw,
It sounds like you're encountering the "CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system" error while trying to install macOS Sonoma on VMware with your Ryzen 9 7900X and RTX 4070ti. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:
1. **Update VMware**: Ensure you're using the latest version of VMware Workstation or VMware Player. Compatibility issues can often be resolved with updates¹.
2. **Modify VMX File**: Edit the `.vmx` file of your virtual machine. Add or modify the following lines:
```plaintext
cpuid.0.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011"
cpuid.0.ebx = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011"
cpuid.0.ecx = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011"
cpuid.0.edx = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011"
cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011"
cpuid.1.ebx = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011"
cpuid.1.ecx = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011"
cpuid.1.edx = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011"
```
3. **Enable Virtualization**: Ensure that virtualization (VT-x/AMD-V) is enabled in your BIOS settings².
4. **Disable Hyper-V**: If you're on Windows, make sure Hyper-V is disabled as it can conflict with VMware³. You can disable it by running the following command in Command Prompt as an administrator:
```plaintext
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
```
5. **Check Compatibility**: Verify that your hardware is compatible with macOS virtualization. Sometimes, specific configurations might require additional tweaks⁴.
I hope these steps help you resolve the issue! If you need further assistance, feel free to ask.
Best of luck! 😊

Edit the VMX File:
Shut down the virtual machine.
Navigate to the directory where your virtual machine files are stored.
Locate the .vmx file for your virtual machine and open it with a text editor like Notepad.
Add the following line at the end of the file:

Enable VT-X in BIOS:
Restart your computer and enter the BIOS setup (usually by pressing a key like F2, F10, or Delete during startup).
Look for an option related to Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-X) and ensure it is enabled.
Save the changes and exit the BIOS setup.
