Hi,
I am running Parallels 8 (latest updates) on Mountain Lion (latest updates) with a Lion guest (latest updates) on a Macbook Pro Retina. I am having trouble with iTunes (11.0.4 (4) 64 bit) in Lion. Whenever I try to rent a movie I get the spinning beach ball and have to force quit iTunes.
Does anyone have iTunes 11 purchases working in their guest with Parallels 8?
I thought it might be the networking config so I configured it to 'bridged network' with the default adapter selected to ensure the guest was participating on my LAN as if it were a bonefide machine. That didn't help.
I also have Isolate Mac from Virtual Machine set so that the Host operating system stays out of the way of the Guest.
With a little bit of desperation I also tried changing iTunes to run in 32 bit mode. That didn't help either.
oh, and I also did the Authorize This Computer in iTunes just in case messing with the network settings caused some kind of problem. Still no go.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Ty
p.s. I did a little more testing and iTunes will play audio previews of music but any video preview/trailer will cause the area where the video would normally play to go black. The audio comes through ok though. When I go to the menu and select Store->Home the screen doesn't change; it just stays black...
