Aliases fail on upgrade to OS X El Captian

[loukingjr]

the worst that could happen is it doesn't fix it.

(must have one of those Macs you have to hand crank to start)

Yeah maybe, it's only got 4gb of ram and it takes 1 1/2 minutes to boot up but otherwise runs fast.

Well, it still won't work, i tried remaking aliases and restarting and drinking a cup of coffee and it still no work!

[loukingjr]

Do you use any third party programs such as Onyx, CleanMyMac etc?

[Linux Mint lover]

no, i don't.

[loukingjr]

What version of VirtualBox are you using?

[loukingjr]

btw? this would go a heck of a lot faster if you reloaded your browser tab periodically instead of waiting for the email notification.

(and he's off)

[Linux Mint lover]

how would i find out? what version i have

[loukingjr]

Click on the VirtualBox application icon.

[Linux Mint lover]

oh, i figured it out. it is 5.0.2

[loukingjr]

That might be the problem. Download VB 5.0.12 and it's extension pack and install it.

are my VMs going to stay in the same place?

[loukingjr]

Yes.

[Linux Mint lover]

great. I'll try that. Thanks for your help!

[loukingjr]

don't thank me until you see if it works.

Installing should rebuild the file associations. I'm off to wrap presents.
