Genymotion Error: "Unable to load VirtualBox Engine" on Yosemite. VirtualBox installed
Solution 1
I had the problem that VBoxManage was installed at /usr/local/bin/ which was not in the path for GUI apps. I did:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage /usr/bin/VBoxManage
Solution 2
I've had the same problem, Use VirtualBox 4.3 instead of 5.0 That did the trick for me.
Solution 3
I tried all these and nothing working with me except this one
VirtualBox from the unidentified developer so OSX refuse to install it so you need unlock this option from Security and privacy --> general tab
reference
Solution 4
This work for me:
Remove current Virtual version and install VirtualBox version 4.3.
Run terminal and execute this line:
sudo /Library/Application\ Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh restart
- Continue this line:
sudo cp /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage /usr/bin/VBoxManage
Now can run Genymotion.
Solution 5
brew cask install virtualbox
I had this issue after upgrading to OS X 10.11.1 moving to Virtual Box 5.0.8 fixed it

I have a Macbook Pro 13 inch with OS X Yosemite [Memory 8 GB, Graphics Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB]. I am trying to setup Genymotion as Android Emulator. I installed Oracle VirtualBox first from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads [VirtualBox-5.0.0-101573-OSX.dmg], and then Genymotion for personal use from Genymotion [genymotion-2.5.0.dmg].
But I get the following error -
I checked all the previous answers on StackOverflow and the Google search results, and I did the following, but none of them solved the problem.
1. (a)
sudo /Library/Startupitems/VirtualBox/VirtualBox restart
OR (b)
sudo /Library/Application\ Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh restart
Since my /Library/Startupitems/ is empty, I tried option (b).
2. Open VirtualBox -> Preferences -> Network, Under "Host-only Networks", I deleted the one that was listed. Under "Nat Networks", there is an Active network called "NatNetwork", which is checked.
3. vboxmanage is added to path & has nothing under hostonlyifs
Terminal:
$ which vboxmanage /usr/local/bin/vboxmanage $ echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin: <others> $ vboxmanage list hostonlyifs ## no output - prints nothing
These are all I found through Google Search. How do I get the Genymotion working for Yosemite ?
{ If possible, please provide a solution that is not too technical, since I am new to Mac, and it might also help people using Mac for the first time. I know this is not a new question on StackOverflow. But none of the previous posts had helped me. }
Thanks for your help.
