Screen resolution/Xcode installation

Post by Aldo55 »

Hi, I'm very new to all this and I have installed Virtualbox and I'm having a couple of issues after installing macos x. Just to explain a little why I am setting up a VM, I have an idea for an app and I need a mac to do it on.
Firstly, I can't get the resolution to fit my monitor for my Mac to fit on my screen. I've tried everything. I have Youtubed and read everything and the message I'm getting is that my Mac which is in/on my win 10 and I'm the host, and that means I can't get vbox guest additions installed and working properly, because I'm not the guest. Is this right or am I doing something wrong? and,
Secondly, when I try to intall xcode it gives a message that I can't install because mac version needs be older than what is installed in the virtualbox, before you sayanything I updated VB to the new version 5.14 and it still does the same as 5.12.
I hope this all makes sense and I hope someone knows the the answer to these riddles. Thanks Aldo

I split your post from the thread "MacOS Guest Additions - What does / doesn't work in 2018?", your questions did not really fit in.

We're going to need to see a VM log from a complete VM run:
  • Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Login / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
  • With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
  • Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.

Hi Socratis, I copy and pasted into a notepad file. I hope it's ok? Aldo

OSX guests are only supported on Apple hardware (which you do not have). See: Important notice regarding Mac OS X as Guest.
