Oracle VM VirtualBox
Jan 03, 2018 Hi I am installing VirtualBox (VirtualBox-4.3.6-91406-OSX) downloaded from your site Installing on Mac (10.12.5) I am getting the following error and it fails to install.
- Shutdown your Mac for 10-15 seconds, start your Mac and try and reinstall VirtualBox 4.3.20 again. Repair Disk Permissions. Create a new user with admin privileges, log in to that user and try to install VirtualBox.
- However installing MAC OS X on non- Apple hardware is a bit tiresome and complicated. This is an easy guidebook, Install OS X El Capitan on VirtualBox on PC. What is a VirtualBox? VirtualBox is basically a program, over which you can install and eventually run OS X with Intel-based and AMD processor.
The latest release is version 6.0.10.
VirtualBox is a free virtualisation software for x86 based systems and is available for most of the popular OSes like linux, mac and windows. It runs on a host system and supports running other OSes as guest. It earlier belonged to Sun and now to Oracle. At the time of this post, virtualbox 4.3.2 is. Im running virtual box 4.3 on ubuntu 13.10, everything goes fine with windows guests but for Mac osx (Mountain Lyon) I just cant find how to install Guest additions. Seems like there's no osx installer in the iso. Thanks in advance. This wikiHow teaches you how to install and use the VirtualBox application on your Windows, Mac, or Linux computer. VirtualBox is a program which emulates a second computer, allowing you to install and use operating systems (e.g., Windows 7) on VirtualBox without having to change your computer's actual operating system.

and clicked ->Insert guest additions CD image
. Nothing happened. This is an image of my Storage tab in Settings of Virtual box:I previously got this message, that instructed me to go to

I'll quote a previous answer of mine:
From Virtualbox Manual : Chapter 14:
14.2. Known Issues
Mac OS X guests:
VirtualBox does not provide Guest Additions for Mac OS X at this time
Mac OS X guests:
VirtualBox does not provide Guest Additions for Mac OS X at this time
[snip]
From the content of this, I wouldn't hold out for such support in VirtualBox any time soon.
The situation really has not changed since then.
There is some discussion of a workaround involving the built in OS X sharing functionality and configuring your network setup to work, but nothing well defined.

Guest Additions are available for macOS starting with VirtualBox 6.0
Per the change log, macOS/OSX Guest Additions are at 'initial support' meaning features/functionality could be limited.

Resolving this question involves having guest additions on a MacOS guest. If, instead, you want to install guest additions from a MacOS host onto a non-MacOS guest:
You can copy the guest additions iso from your machine.
You can copy the guest additions iso from your machine.
First locate VirtualBox in the Application folder, right-click it and select show package contents. Then browse to Contents/MacOS/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso. Copy it to a location that accessible when browsing for files.
After that, you can insert the device by clicking Devices > Optical Drives > Choose disk image... and then choose your copied iso file.
Then you can run your iso from within your vm and install the guest additions.

Workaround: creating a *.iso
(from here)
Create a
*.iso
and insert this 'optical drive'.Install Virtualbox On Mac
![Mac Mac](/uploads/1/2/5/0/125050887/577872399.png)
- To create the file, open terminal and navigate to the folder you want to pack; then run:
hdiutil makehybrid -iso -udf -udf-volume-name NAME_OF_ISO -o ./OUTPUT_FILE_NAME.iso ./FOLDER_TO_PACK/
where obviously you have to chooseNAME_OF_ISO
(pretty much irrelevant),OUTPUT_FILE_NAME.iso
and specify the folderFOLDER_TO_PACK
- Then insert the created file in your guest
