Help moving to new computer

I have never in my life seen a support website so difficult to use nor support so awful as parallels.

Could somebody please tell me how to move everything to a new computer? I want to save everything on my old virtual machine/hard disk.

Thanks

 

do you mean "I want to move my VM from my old Mac to my new Mac"?

If yes use Apple's Migration Assistant, sit back, and relax. You could also install Parallels on the new Mac and, once you're done, copy your VM from the old Mac to the new... but you won't need to do that with Migration Assistant.

Me, I've seen sites that are a lot worse than Parallels.com that I find quite helpful in fact. What exactly is it that you'd like to have improved?

 

doesn't work

tried that, doesn't work

 

tried that

tried that, migration assistant told me that it would take > 15 hours!! to transfer, no thanks.

I have never seen support as bad as parallels. And then they make you pay thru the nose for every update which is worse and worse in terms of function. No thanks.

I'm gonna try VM fusion.

 

I have 2 Mac Minis and have installed Parallels on one but now I would like to stop using it there and start using it on the other Mini. How can I register with the same Activation code? I hope it is possible to disable my first install. Any ideas? Thank you.!

 

Good luck with Fusion. I've tried both Fusion and Parallels and I believe Parallels to be far superior, both as regards actual functionality - the P5 Graphics Card virtualisation is quite good - and as regards integration with the Mac.

Have you tried manually copying your VM package over to the new mac? And I still don't quite get why you're so bothered with the Parallels support... what exactly makes you say that they're so bad?
