Parallels Transporter Startup Item: why?

I just noticed two Parallels entries in System Profiler > Software > Startup Items. Screenshot attached.

Does anyone know why ParallelsTransporter is listed here? I didn't use it to migrate and don't need to use it. It indicated that it starts a local IPv4 daemon - which I assume is to communicate with the Windows machine that is being migrated.

Can I safely disable or delete this item?

Thanks,
Karl

IPv4 was the first version of Internet. Protocol to be widely used,

Of course that's what IPv4 is Hugh. I was waiting for an educated answer from Xenos or some other Parallels expert on the necessity of Transporter being a startup item. The fact that Transporter uses IPv4 does not mean that it is the provider of IPv4...

Thanks anyway,
Karl

 

if you search the forums for IPv4

http://forum.parallels.com/search.php?searchid=1032769

you can see it enables networking choices and there are technically detailed answers from the experts

I had not thought of looking at startup items for years
(thank you

I right click in the dock to make my consumer choices

years ago we used to put an Alias in a Start Up Items folder and there were all sorts of utilities to manage that


many apple inovations start as third party utilities

I remember the excitement of the first time we could put a digital clack in the manu bar and within a coupele of years it was in the OS

I was amused to see apache in the start up items, and it is running on this machine as a hard disk management utility i

Loooking at activityMonitor Icannot see any sign og P Transporter actually running or taking CPU time or memory

The experts have ignored you because the answer is already findable in the forums

take care
and happy googling

Hugh,

Sorry, buddy, but I do not appreciate your hijacking my thread with your attempts at expressing knowledge. This has NOTHING whatsoever to do with generic IPv4, nor ancient history about startup items.

This question is entirely concerning why TRANSPORTER is in the startup items. Please address your energy elsewhere. This does not mean that transporter is running, nor anything else, only that it starts other services - which will necessarily have 'transporter' as their name.

Unless you are an OS X systems programmer (which clearly you are not), please find another thread to visit and let the Parallels staff respond here, OK?

Thanks,
Karl
