as I mentioned elsewhere I can no longer launch more than one guest.

There are three groups of people. Those that can count and those that can't.
Those look like scripting addition errors which shouldn't have any effect on VirtualBox, although they'll probably cause you some problems with any Applescripts you're using.

Well, I'm not "knowing" using any Applescripts unless one of the extensions I run are using them which is possible. As far as launching more than one guest, apparently I am still confused over the number of cores I can assign. VB lists 16 CPUs available although I only have 4 cores and 8 virtual cores. I guess I can only launch 2 guests at a time if they have one core assigned to each. There was one point to show a friend I had three guests open at a time, 2 Linux and 1 XP guest so I'm not sure what's going on at this point.

i don't think virtualbox differentiates between cores and threads, i guess you have a 2x core-i7's (or a dual xeon) with 4 cores and hyperthreading? you should easily be able to run at least 4 vm's at once on that, they don't actually take up a whole core, if you're doing very light tasks that only use 25% cpu, you could in theory run 64 vm's.
i have easily run 6 vm's on a core i5 or core2quad before:

that's kind or what I thought since I have run 3 guests at a time before. I thought I have one quad core i7 which is a sandy bridge not ivy. I think the problem might be every one of my guests is using the same shared folder. I have an external usb drive with a large partition called "Media". It has pictures, wallpapers, fonts, mp3s and videos among other things. I set up a shared folder to point to it on each guest so the guest has access to it. perhaps opening more than one guest pointing to the same shared folder could be the problem? I'm not sure. I thought I've always had it set up that way.

that's just asking for trouble! file locking and all sorts of problems.
bit odd that a quad core with hyperthreading shows up as 16 cpu's and not 8.
I'll delete the shared folders on a couple guests and see if that helps.
I've thought it was odd it was reporting 16 CPUs as well and I have asked about it before. It's been like that since August of 2011 using whatever version of VB was current at the time. I actually never got a response. Maybe it's an ongoing problem with the Mac version. I really don't know.
edit: I deleted the shared folder from one guest and tried to open a second guest and this is the error I get...
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Xubuntu 12.10.
PIIX3 cannot attach drive to the Secondary Master (VERR_SHARING_VIOLATION)
what's odd is I actually have the IDE controller set to PIIX4

that looks like you've copied a vm and they're fighting over using the same vdi file and/or your virtualbox.xml file is corrupted or something.

well, all my vdi files are on the SATA controller. I have no guests sharing the same vdi. The only thing on the IDE controller is the Host CD/DVD drive. A corrupt xml is possible I suppose although I don't know how to fix it.
