  • 1.  Mouse/Keyboard Non-Functional - Installing macOS 10.12 Sierra from ISO

    Posted May 05, 2025 08:30 PM

    Fusion 13.6.3 running under macOS 13.7.5.

    The VM loads the ISO, but then I can't get any mouse or keyboard response on the first splash page, the one that asks what language I want to use.

    Any ideas most appreciated.

    Thanks.

    This is the official KB for this - https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/343078/usb-device-not-detected-by-the-virtual-m.html

    I recall going into the guests settings>usb>advanced for Yosemite and setting the USB compatibility to 2.0 you might try that also.

    Thank you for your reply - much appreciated.

    Unfortunately, the KB article applies only to macOS 10.13 and up - and I'm trying to install 10.12.

    I already tried the USB 2.0 setting, which didn't help.

    Still stumped...

    Still unable to figure this out...

    I launch Fusion Professional Version 13.6.3 (24585314) under macOS 13.7.5 (22H527).  I create a new VM by dragging the macOS 10.12 ISO (macOS Sierra 10.12.6_16G29.iso) onto the "Select the Installation Method" dialog.  The installer boots up to this:

    No matter what I try, I cannot control the cursor, nor use the arrow keys, nor return - no keyboard/mouse input is getting through to the VM.
    Any ideas most appreciated.
