I believe michaln was referring to my post and not so much yours. I was under the impression 4.3.18 was the first version installed. What I have done: I´ve donloaded VirtualBox-4.3.18-96516-OSX, installed it. System: iMac Intel Based (end 2009) Core i7, OSX 10.10 Yosemite German

Install to the newly created partition.Open Disk Utility within the installer and create a new HFS+ partition on the virtual disk.Start your VM, which will ask you to choose a language.Select “Choose a virtual CD/DVD disk file…” and browse to the location of “yosemite-fixed.dmg”.Click the disk icon in the Attributes section.Go into Storage, click on the “Add Disk” icon, and select CD/DVD drive.Go into Settings, and change the chipset of your virtual machine to “PIIX3”.Select at least 20GB when creating the virtual disk.Allocate at least 2GB of RAM (I gave mine 4GB, since my MacBook Air has 8GB).Since my MacBook Air only has 2 total, I don’t want to assign both to the VM (although I did at first, and there was no notable difference in performance either way). I recommend assigning a single processor core.Select “Mac OS X (64 bit)” for the version.

Or get the free public beta – I didn’t try it this way as I have a Developer account.

Download Yosemite from the Apple Mac Developer Member Centre.I found most of the instructions from and but had to adapt them to make them work on my Mac. For the record, this was done on my Late 2013 i5 11″ MacBook Air with 8GB RAM. Additionally, VirtualBox’s Guest Additions, which provide some integration between the VM and its host, are not available for OS X, so features such as resizing the resolution of the VM are not available. I will say now, that the performance of OS X Yosemite in VirtualBox is poor. Not having a handy spare Mac on which to install the Yosemite Developer Beta, I decided it was time to try my first OS X Virtual Machine.įrom what I can tell, most Mac SysAdmins use VMWare Fusion for their VMs.
