Question or issue on macOS:
I have been using Genymotion on OS X 10.8 but after I updated it to Mavericks, the Genymotion device does not work properly. The three buttons which should be at the bottom appear at the top. However the touch is uneffected. Thus while the buttons are shifted to top, they are sensitive to touch only when touched at bottom.
Here is a sample screenshot
Edit – One of the answers suggest that the problem might also depend on the Mac model I am using. I am using a 13″ Macbook Retina Pro.
This one is simple to use and set up besides being a feature-rich emulator. It comes in a free and a paid version. Genymotion stands out of all because of its capable OpenGL graphic cards. This makes it one of the best and fastest Android emulators. It comes with plugins for both Eclipse and Android Studio. It works on GNU/Linux, Windows and macOS. It focuses on: lightness (native, displays only the device screen) performance (3060fps) quality (1920×1080 or above) low latency; low startup time (1 second to display the first image) non-intrusiveness (nothing is left installed on the device) Requirements.
Edit 2 – A couple of applications are also running upside down. For example, the Music App
How to solve this problem?
Solution no. 1:
the problem should occur with integrated graphics (Intel) but not with dedicated one (such as with MBP Retina with Nvidia GPU).
We, at Genymotion, found the problem and have a patch ready. We’re in the process of testing it, there will be an update ASAP.
EDIT : The 1.3.1 update is now out, it should solve this display problem – https://cloud.genymotion.com/page/changelog/
PS: I’m working for Genymotion
Solution no. 2:
Close all virtual machines which is related to genymotion;
Remove genymotion.app *genymotion_shell.app* from Applications folder.
Find genymotion ghost files and remove them.
By default installation;
cd /Users//.GenyMobile
rm -rf .Genymobile
Download genymotion 1.3.1 which has the correction for this problem.
‘On Mac OSX 10.9, the graphic render of Android window was upside down. This issue is fixed.’
Install genymotion with .dmg file as usually.
Than try to run your device from android studio || eclipse plugin
Ps: If the problem goes on
try ;
1-remove all old vm machines
2-Remove virtualbox engine. (If you can’t be sure to remove fully virtualBox I suggest to use Appzaper)
3-Download and reinstall it.
3-Restart your os (This step is required.)
4- Than try to run your device from android studio || eclipse plugin
I hope this helps .

Cite from genymotion on Google+:
Genymotion works in Mac OSX 10.9 Mavericks! 🙂
After migrating, there is sometimes bugs with VirtualBox. Uninstalling and reinstalling it should fix most of them.
There is a known bug where the notification bar and the navbar are wrongly positionned. We are aware of it and working on it. Thank you to all the people that already reported it, the data provided did help us greatly.
I updated virtual box to the latest version und reinstalled genymotion, this worked out for me.

This issue is fixed.
Solution no. 5:
hehe 🙂
let me guess, u also have a 13″ MacBook Pro?
Maybe it belongs to the graphics driver, i face the same problem.
But i can also say: It does not occur on a 15″ MacBook Pro (Company Device)
Tip for better experience: You can disable the Big Navigaton Buttons in Emulator Settings, and use the Nav. Buttons on the Genymotion Emulator (Right Side)
I talked to them right now at the DroidCon UK -> bug is fixed,
update released: Version 1.3.1 🙂 as mentioned 🙂 by the “other user” 🙂 (sorry don’t see his name here in edit view: ))
