Hi,
I want to setup a macOS Mojave guest on my MacBook Pro 2018 (32GB RAM; 1TB SSD) urning Mojave.
I can not move the mouse into the guest.
What did I miss?
I use the UI to build a Mac OS X(64-bit) box.
No keyboard and mouse capture

Re: No keyboard and mouse capture
The usual mistake is using a USB filter to assign ownership of the host mouse and keyboard to the VM. Makes it awfully hard to operate the host (VirtualBox is of course a host app).

In that case I'll leave you to the tender mercies of your fellow Apple users.
One note: it would help if you reduced the scale of your images before posting them.

After loading the virtual box extended pack and set USB3 in the ports the mouse and the keyboard working as expected.

Re: No keyboard and mouse capture
Are you telling me that you managed to install 10.14 as a guest? If so, please could you share the how-to?

Re: No keyboard and mouse capture
USB3 in the guests should be irrelevant if the recipe is correct - the mouse and keyboard belong to the host.

Without USB3 I was unable to select the Installer language. I can not move the mouse.mpack wrote:USB3 in the guests should be irrelevant if the recipe is correct - the mouse and keyboard belong to the host.

Re: No keyboard and mouse capture
Afraid not. It's an issue with OSX guests since 10.12.4. See Issue 1 in https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/16644mpack wrote:USB3 in the guests should be irrelevant if the recipe is correct
The recipe needs an update.

Re: No keyboard and mouse capture
Ah, I see. I forgot that Apple does their own thing. I guess then that they have actually deleted the code to support older keyboard bus types. Every mod has a risk of introducing bugs, so I'm surprised they risked a mod to delete harmless code.
