I am trying to set up file sharing on Virtual Box between my Host Windows 10 and machin vbox mac Yosemite 10.10
When I click on "Insert Guest Addition CD Image", I get the following errors:
Unable to insert the virtual optical disk
/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso
into the machine Mac OS X Yosemite
Please Help..

Cannot insert Guest Addition CD Image
Re: Cannot insert Guest Addition CD Image
As it is a breach of Apple's Licensing Terms and Conditions to run OS X on non-Apple hardware, I very much doubt you will get any help here.

Re: Cannot insert Guest Addition CD Image
Along with what erdeslawe already said, there are no Guest Additions for OSX guests.
OSX, Linux and Windows Hosts & Guests
There are three groups of people. Those that can count and those that can't.

Re: Cannot insert Guest Addition CD Image
Derin, looked at your OP again. The only way to get that message is if you tried to insert the GA .iso from a Mac Host into a Mac guest. Not sure where Windows 10 comes into the picture. Unless you have a Windows 10 guest and decided to name it "Mac OS X Yosemite".Derin wrote:When I click on "Insert Guest Addition CD Image", I get the following errors:

Re: Cannot insert Guest Addition CD Image
I guess it doesn't really matter. As mentioned, there are no GAs for an OS X guest anyway, so the topic is redundant. If the user has confused the meanings of guest and host then he should ask the question again elsewhere and provide proper diagnostics, including a VM log file.
