I am using Genymotion 2.5 with Virtual Box 5.0.0 in MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015).
When I run Genymotion it says,
Unable to load VirtualBox engine.
Make sure that it is properly installed before starting Genymotion.
Then I checked the log file sin genymotion-log.zip and found that there is an error in general-VBoxSVC.log
00:00:00.131500 nspr-2 failed to create vboxnet0, error (0x80004005)
00:00:00.131684 nspr-2 VD: VDInit finished
00:00:05.137155 Watcher ERROR [COM]: aRC=E_ACCESSDENIED (0x80070005) aIID={0169423f-46b4-cde9-91af-1e9d5b6cd945} aComponent={VirtualBoxWrap} aText={The object is not ready}, preserve=false aResultDetail=0
How to solve this?
it's a bug, Downgrade VirtualBox to 4.3.26
(remove VirtualBox 5.0.0 with CleanMyMac beforehand)
You can also start Genymotion with root permissions from the Terminal, e.g.
sudo /Applications/Genymotion.app/Contents/MacOS/genymotion. Works for me with VirtualBox 5.0.0 and Genymotion 2.5.0.
Edit: After upgrading to Genymotion 2.5.2, it just works, without sudo.

I have been trying to install VirtualBox on Mac os High Sierra but installation is failing. I tried all the steps provided here Virtualbox not installing on High Sierra but nothing worked for me. Basically, while installing, it is not asking me if I should allow outside app from Oracle or not. After the failed installation, I see that the VirtualBox still got installed but when I start a vm, it errors out and gives all sorts of other errors. Any thoughts?

Solved the issue by uninstalling virtual box and installing again (updated version). Probably some configurations have been corrupted. But its working now
I am getting the following issue trying to start a VM using vagrant & VirtualBox on my MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015) running OS X 10.11.6. I have tried VirtualBox version 5.0.26, 5.1.0 and 5.1.2. I have searched around and tried all the suggestions I could find. what do I need to do to fix this issue?
There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.
Command: ["startvm", "23e70124-39c9-46ea-a45d-cf34c0e8a251", "--type", "headless"]
Stderr: VBoxManage: error: The VM session was aborted
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component SessionMachine, interface ISession
This seems to be a problem with setting the networking to NAT mode (which is done by vagrant). To bring up the vm, go into virtualbox, edit the vm network settings to something like bridged and start the vm and it should work.
However, the downside is that the vagrant up command does not work (down works once the vm has been started manually).
At this point, I am also struggling to find a solution (may be something to do with El Capitan)
Had the same problem, though I am on os x 10.10.5 Yosemite.
Downgrading to VirtualBox 4.3.40 worked for me.

Virtualbox and Genymotion are up-to-date.
I can create and start VMs in Virtualbox.
System Integrity Protection is enabled.
Upgrading or installing VirtualBox fixed it:
Download from here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
Open the dmg (mac)
Run the uninstaller
Run the installer
same here. Genymotion on El-Capitan is completely broken. Tried several Virtual box versions (4.3 5.0) and the latest genymotion 2.5.2. Still no luck.
Update: Finally got it working using this:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/vboxmanage /usr/bin/vboxmanage

I am trying to install Mac OSX on Windows XP using virtualbox and keep getting this message: BSD root: disk1s3, major 14, minor 3. I have assigned an 80gb virtual hard drive and have tried other iso files, but get the same message.
Technically installing MAC OSX on a virtual machine is against the EULA. That being said it's not a trivial operation to get OSX running on a VM. You might want to check out The OSX86 Project
