In case someone is using Mac OSX YOSEMITE or earlier. Follow this post. It worked for me. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1196027

Run these two command in Terminal:

sudo chmod 755 /Applications

sudo chmod 755 /Applications/Virtualbox.app

Took me hours to get it to work!

Have a look at this blog   Genymotion is previously known as AndroidVM   As the blog stated   Known bugs  same as 20121119 release     Hardware OpenGL Intel HD Windows   On most Intel HD drivers running Windows  the AndroVMplayer might crash  in the driver DLL  when starting Android   you may have to restart AndroVMplayer an important number of times before it suceeds Hardware OpenGL WebView   On some GPUs  mostly NVidia     the browser and all apps which use the WebView component might show scrambled HTML content AndroVMplayer now support window resizing  as well as fullscreen mode   to use AndroVMplayer in fullscreen mode  you have to    select    manual resolution    and tick the    fullscreen    box press F11  Ctrl F11 on Mac  to switch to fullscreen when the player window has appeared When starting the virtual machine  AndroVMplayer now check different things    If your AndroVM virtual machine doesn   t have the    hardware OpenGL    option enabled  it can enable it for you before starting the VM  If your AndroVM virtual machine first network adapter is not configured  it can configure it for you  as well as create the host-only network for you   To summarize that  with this new AndroVMplayer  to use OpenGL hardware you just have to    Import the AndroVM ova in VirtualBox Start AndroVMplayer  choose your resolution and the virtual machine you   ve just imported Click    Run    and it should work You can still use AndroVMplayer with non-VirtualBox systems  e g VMWare  but  obviously  you won   t benefit from automatic VirtualBox configuration and VM start stop   in this case  you have to choose    none    as the VM name and directly type the IP address of your virtual machine   Please note that  due to the change in communication  old AndroVMplayer won   t work with 20130222 OVAs and old OVAs won   t work with 20130222 AndroVMplayer

Deleting the Genymotion cached  ova file  deleting the corrupted deployed image  redownloading the image  and reinstalling it addressed the issue for me    Note that the deployed images are under     Genymobile Genymotion deployed  the cached ova files are under     Genymobile Genymotion ova

I just ran into this problem too  so just in case anyone needs it  The reason why it needs admin privileges is probably because of your settings on where it store the virtual device    Go to Settings - Virtual Box - and change your virtual devices storage area  I got mine set to something like  Program Files Genymotion  that s why it needs Admin privileges  I only blanked the field  clicked ok  and it got set to the default which is in my home directory   After that no need to run as admin anymore     I need 50 reputations to comment  so had to use this answer

Double check the virtual device you re trying to create has the same version on Genymotion that you have running   I just upgraded to 2 1 1 but all the virtual devices I was trying to install were for 2 1 0  Downgrading Genymotion did the trick

If you have installed the Genymotion plugin without VirtualBox then make sure the version of VBox is compatible with the plugin  otherwise the plugin will not deploy the virtual device regardless of the OVA file Install the latest versions of both if you are unsure Once you verified the versions  you may need to either   a  Give administrative privileges for Genymotion via properties  OR  b  Change the location for the deployed devices via Settings VirtualBox to somewhere more accessbile like D  GenyMotion VMs  If both step 1 and 2 doesnt work for you  sadly you will have to clear the cache via Settings Misc and reinstall the OVA file Hopefully your efforts will be worth it  Good Luck

This fixed the issue    Just go to    Genymobile Genymotion ova  Either you are on Mac OSX or Windows  you can find this path by looking for Virtualbox path at the Genymotion Settings  there is a path to Genymotion deployed folder  you should go to Genymotion ova folder  Open the ova file with your virtualbox  At the Virtualbox startup dialog box  Appliance settings  It shows Guest OS type set to Other Linux 64  you should double click and change it to your OS type  e g Mac OSX El Captain  64-bit   and Import   Now launch Genymotion and find the virtual device in the list of already deployed ones ready to run Run the virtual device  after first run you get a warning saying Genymotion version does not match with Virtualbox version and choose Continue    I hope it helps future visitors to this page

Disadvantage of deleting the deployed and  ova files is obvious i e  you have to download the massive 200mb image again  A better choice is to     Open genymotion and open settings --  virtualBox --  virtual devices browse and set the path to a folder which can be completely accessed without administrative pivileges e g  for ubuntu set virtual devices path to any folder in your home directory for example  home user deployed and for windows you can use a folder like C   deployed    That s it   Now you can use your already existing  ova file again to deploy image to new locatioin without any problem
