mac

I'm new using parallels and using a mac. I know I can download a partition of windows on the mac but the problem is I need visual studio and a lot of add ons. When I tried the first time I didn't create enough space, I used the min space but I want to be able to use Windows virtualization...

I installed Parraells with Windows yesterday and it was working perfectly. I have a 27" iMac and an external 34" LG. When I installed it Windows was running on its own desktop. I could access the window/desktop by swiping up four fingers and clicking on the desktop. Perfect. I could control...

Hi, Im about to try Parallels Desktop again after a while away. Support have told me that PD16 will work ok on High Sierra 10.13.6, which my iMac is at (dont need to upgrade due to other programs) so this has made me look at v16 and not v15. I don't have much space left on my MacHD and its a...

I have had this issue a few times now and can't resolve so any tips would be appreciated. Windows will not startup/resume. I get the black startup screen with the windows blue logo (four squares) and the action circle showing it's doing something or loading which just keeps turning but never...

Okay, that's a problem We all know that mac (Lion - Parallels Desktop 9 and new versions) really doesn't support FULLY control of exfat drives (is worse in that way than windows, even hfs as read format works better on windows than on mac) and paragon software is only for reading volume (or...

When or if Apple moves to ARM processors for their desktop / laptop computers, what will that mean for Windows running on Parallels on the Mac? Do I have anything to worry about when Apple makes that move?

Parallels Desktop on the new Mac keeps saying that I've reached my activation limit , even though I signed out of Parallels Desktop and uninstalled it from the old Mac. Currently I have no licenses in use, but Parallels Activation behaves as if I do. Parallels Desktop 14 for Mac macSO 10.15.4...

When I upgraded from a (much) older version of Parallels to 15, I had several virtual machines, including one older version of macOS (10.10 I believe) for testing. I used it repeatedly since then, but it often failed to boot, pretty much at random. I type my password, it would start with the...

So I delated Windows by mistake and now can't reactivate it due to it being on another device according to windows. I spent 130 bucks on it. What do I do?!

I'm not sure if it's related to having recently upgraded my Win10 instance (and chosen the option that's something like "do windows version upgrade" instead of just install regular patches), but within the past few days it no longer opens URLs clicked on (in say MS Word) in Windows in the native...

Hey, I took the time to make an account here cause I am fairly frustrated over the installation of Parallels Tools. Like many of you, Kali Linux users know, the 2020.1 version has just been released. And for that I am happy, but what I'm not happy about is what occurred when I tried to install...

Hi everyone, So I have a macro that only works in Windows and I'm trying to open the macro in Coherence Mode but the keystrokes are not sent to my Mac, does anyone know how to make this work? Basically I need the Windows macro to send the input keys to the Mac keyboard. Thanks for the help!

I'm evaluating Parallels pro 15 for Mac and everything seems to work fine except when I resize the window the view becomes stretched and distorted. I'm sure it has something to do with how the window is trying to scale the view. This happens for all the VMs. I've been hunting for a solution for...

My company insisted that I do a full reset of my windows 10 VM to allow for the use of the company MS Office platform. Ever since I did it, I can't copy and paste between the mac and the Windows VM, a critical thing in my work. I've tried restarting VM, rebooting windows, rebooting mac...

Hello, I'm the Apple Specialist of a University, and we have a lot of Mac Computers. Some of the Mac computers have the latest OS (10.15 Catalina), most of them have the previous OS (10.14 Mojave). Since the version 8.0.0.94 of the Agent, the Process "Parallels Mac Management for Microsoft...

I'm having an issue with software metering reporting into current branch of sccm for my Macs. Software metering is enable and is working on the windows end, so I know its something specific to the Mac setup. When launching the software metering rule wizard, the administrators guide to use the...

Dear Parallels- Please stop sending new "Upgrade to the latest version" screens. Each time, I click on "Do not show again", and roughly every third time I open Parallels, I get a new screen. This is a pain, and it is NOT going to get me to upgrade. For what I do (and my old computer), Parallels...

Hi there, I installed Skyrim in my Parallels 14 VM, and after installing some mods it said 'd3dx9_43.dll' is missing at game startup and crashed. I saw that this was a common problem with the game / mods itself and the solution was to download the d3dx9_43.dll (Microsoft DirectX 9.0c) from the...

Hey Everyone, I'm a rookie parallels user. I was hoping to use parallels for Autodesk applications on my Macbook Air, however it turned out I have priorities, storage space!! After installing Revit 2020 and AutoDesk on my computer I realized that my storage is almost full. Then, I decided to...
