You need to submit some more information. Please read the following: Minimum information needed for assistance. As far as the "VBox.log.zip" goes (one of the most important diagnostic tools), here's what you do:
- Start the VM.
- Record the error message. EXACTLY. Post a screenshot (if you have to).
- Shut down the VM.
- Right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager.
- Select "Show Log..."
- ZIP it and attach it in your response.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

I fixed the Problem, I deleted the mashines an took the last backup.
So the machines start again. Lost only the last updates.

I think it was the OSX update that changes some.
