I have a MacBook Pro with OS 10.11.5 and Vmware Fusion 8.1.1 is installed.
In Fusion I have a Windows 10 (64 Bit, Ent.) running, where I have a (vmware) shared folder from the Mac OS.
This shared folder contains a Subversion Repository which is on the Mac in an encrypted Volume (a TrueCrypt-Volume mounted with VeraCrypt).
To see these handy overlay icons in Windows (if files changed etc.) I installed TortoiseSVN (64 bit, 1.9.4), but no Overlay Icons are visible in W10.
I tried the solutions in: TortoiseSVN icons overlay not showing after updating to Windows 10 but all the hints there didn't help.
I think the issue is related to Fusion's shared folder, because local repos do show overlay icons in W10.
I activated all drive checkboxes in TortoiseSVN settings but nothing changed.
I know that it is not a good idea to share a repo through different OS: SVN control of a shared virtual machine folder
but I don't want to do any commit stuff (anymore) in Windows, I just want to see the overlay icons, which are missing in Mac's OS X subversion.
And even with TortoiseSVN installed, I can commit files on the Mac without errors, if I just never touch the commit or checkout functions in W10-TortoiseSVN.
Is there anything else, I can do to see these useful overlay icons?
Thanks

TortoiseSVN does not show status icons for working copies located on network shares, by default. Read the FAQ | Why are the icons only visible on local and not on network drives?.
And don't confuse Subversion working copy with a repository.

Recently I am not successding to start my Android Studio on my MAC OS, despite I had used it several times without problem.
Recently when I attempt to start the Android Studio it pops a big internal error message "Cannot Lock System Folders".
enter image description here
I searched for information, something about this problem on MAC OS, but unfortunately I haven't reached to any conclusion and most of all I cannot use the Android Studio anymore.
Does anyone have came across with this problem and was able to sort it out?
Thanks is advance for any help
I have figured out what was going wrong with Android Studio.
Somehow there's a problem of linkage when user's home folder is moved to other volume different from the one used by the system.
In my case I have moved my Home folder to a secondary drive (ExFat) to be shareable between MAC OS X // Linux // Windows. My main OS is MAC, then ROS and other programming I use Linux and to program some ST microcontroller and design some CAD object I must use Windows.
That was a hit after making all A.S. application's folder 777.
After returning the Home folder back to MAC OS system volume all Java libraries were linked again and the Android Studio started normally.
In my case the problem is partially solved. Need to figure out haw I can make the Android Studio running with my Home folder located in non-system volume.
I need to recover the photos from a Windows 7 partition (Windows has been erased) external on a laptop running Ubuntu from a live USB stick. But I am not familiar with the Windows 7 file structure. I accidentally found a folder called Libraries containing all the photos. But now I don't seem to be able to find it again. I understand it is a virtual folder. How do I go about navigating to it again? I have tried systematically going through all the folders; I did find a folder called Libraries, but it is not the same as the one I found earlier on.
Thanks for any ideas.
I have an macbook air 2012, I recently installed Windows 10 in it using bootcamp.
I also downloaded the bootcamp drivers, and a folder named "BootCamp" and "$WinPEDriver$" were created in my Windows10 bootable usb. I was able to use it to install Windows10 and use it.
Then due to space issues I deleted the Windows partition, thinking I can always reinstall it, if needed.
Now I wish to reinstall it, but when I took a backup of the bootcamp drivers, I only backed up the "BootCamp" folder, I forgot to backup the "$WinPEDriver$" folder. Without "$WinPEDriver$" folder, Windows10 get installed without the drivers. When I try to manually start the setup.exe in BootCamp folder, it quits saying "$WinPEDriver$" folder is missing. So I created a empty folder named "$WinPEDriver$". With this the driver installation does proceed, but everything except the Broadcom_Bluetooth_Driver are getting installed. I tried to install the Bluetooth driver alone manually, that also didn't help.
So my question is,
Is there a way were I can download the "$WinPEDriver$" folder alone from Apple site. I live in a place where bandwidth is very low, so downloading another 2 GB of drivers will take 3 more days, and may also get interrupted frequently.
Or can I create the "$WinPEDriver$" folder manually, just as BootCamp Assitant creates it.
Or Is there a way to download the bluetooth drivers alone from apple site.
My bluetooth chipset information is Broadcom USB 20702A3.
Thanks.
Just create a blank folder called '$WinPEDriver$'and it'll work, I know you've probably sorted it by now but i thought i'd leave this here in case anyone else runs into the same problem.
I was able to download Apple bluetooth for windows drivers from a Parallels KB article on titled Unable to use Apple Bluetooth USB Host Controller in Virtual Machine
As for the "$WinPEDriver$" it is included in the newest version of Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5769 although it is still large at 542.3 MB it is not the 2 GB you feared it would be.
The download includes both the BootCamp and $WinPEDriver$ folders.
Good luck!
Incase anybody needs this when you open up Bootcamp Assistant below the 'Action' tab there is a download button to install 'Windows Support Software'. You can download from there and plug in to the Windows by using flash drive or hard disk and make the setup.
I work with git in my laptop computer (a mac) but sometimes have to use my code in a desktop machine (windows) to which I have no administrator access and which is also not connected to the internet due to security reasons.
I want to use git in that machine as well, but the IT personnel at my workplace has told me that it is not possible to install it in that particular computer room.
I have seen this thread about portable GIT (How to install Github on USB Drive?), but it seems to work only on Windows. Is there any way to make it work in both windows and mac?
I have seen threads here about how to use USB as a portable repository by starting a bare repo and cloning the contents to the other machine. I have also thought about cloning that same repo to the USB from my remote. All these solutions are not feasible because that desktop machine I want to work with has no git installed and I can't commit or do any git operation when there.
Is there any way I can have a git installation in my USB and have it working both in my laptop and in that work desktop? Can it work between two different OSs (Mac and Windows)?
Thank you for your appreciation.
Use a normal git repo on the usb drive.
Use UTF-8 as encoding for all the files to make sure that you won't get any problems with that
Before you go to your windows machine, make sure that you have checked out the branch that you want to work on.
Use the checked out files and work with them.
Back at your mac, you can commit and push and do whatever you like.
OR
Use your smartphone as usb drive. If you have Android, you can install botbrew on it and use git on your mobile. With that you can do your git operations while at your windows pc.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate under VirtualBox (latest version, 4.1.4) on my MacBook Air. I have created a shared folder on the Mac under my user folder. I have granted read/write privileges to this folder to my account. (I also configured it with read/write access to everyone, and that did not make a difference.)
In Windows 7 under VirtualBox, I have added that folder as a shared folder.
From within my Windows 7 VM, I can see this folder, create new folders and files in it, and read folders and files, using Windows Explorer.
The problem is with Delphi XE2. If I attempt to open or save a project to this shared folder, from the Save dialog box the share (which I have currently mapped to a network drive) appears with an red X icon indicating that there is something wrong with it. If I click on this folder, Delphi displays a dialog box with the title "Restoring Network Connection" and a message "An error occurred while reconnecting E: to \VBOXSVR\Demos VirtualBox Shared Folders: The request is not supported. This connection has not been restored."
That I cannot save projects in that shared folder inhibits my ability to easily create iOS apps and generate the necessary Xcode folders using Delphi's dpr2xcode.exe utility. What I have to do instead is to create the project folder locally, run dpr2code.exe to generate the Xcode project, and then to use Windows Explorer to copy the contents of the local folder to the shared folder, where I can then load the generated project in Xcode, compile, and run it.
Does anyone know of any configuration or steps I can take to permit Delphi to see the shared folder as a valid folder?
For the record, and I have seen a similar problem with other versions of Delphi with respect to Folders from a Delphi installation in VMWare Workstation (8.0) running under a Windows 7 host. In those cases, Delphi simply does not display the shared folder.
Switch your VM to "Bridged" networking as opposed to NAT.
In VBox, select your VM, go to Settings > Network > Adapter 1 > change "Attached to" to "Bridged Adapter"
I'm guessing you've already enabled SAMBA sharing on the OSX host (System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing (switch it on) > Options > tick "Share files and folders using SMB (Windows)")
The reason you want Bridged networking is so that your VM is assigned its own IP address, rather than sharing the IP of your OSX host (which is what NAT does).
Give it a shot, let me know if it helps :)
