macos guest on apple silicon

We run macos arm `.macvm` bundles on a cluster of ec2 `mac2.metal` instances. We've noticed Parallels macvms have incredibly slow disk read/write on these hosts. This is causing items like automated xcode installations to take over 45 minutes. No matter what configuration we try, we get disk...

Hi everyone, Running a ventura VM on ventura, there are some limitations that are known of course but i have a couple of questions The time is not synching with apple time servers, does anyone else have this issue? Trackpad configuration not available, is it normal? Any chance they will be...

Good day, I created a macOS(Ventura 13.3.1) vm on my MBP M2 Pro to use as my development environment but I'm struggling to get my external monitor, a Dell U2723QE, to work nicely with it. Currently the clarity is so bad it hurts my eyes and I just can't seem to find a workable configuration for...

I just installed Parallels. I am trying to see how to create snapshots (sorry, if I'm confusing terminology with VMWare.) I'm running a macOS Ventura (ARM64) as a guest VM on the same type host OS. The manual says that the option to create snapshots is in the Actions menu. But in my case...

Are there items in the Control Center that are not available for MAC VM's? I am using an M1 and have created 2 VM's. However, I notice that some of the features from the manual are not available, like Snapshot. Also, the settings button is not available. Any thoughts?

Hi, I just created a mac os 12 virtual machine on my mac book. How am I able to isolate that environment from my host environment? The setting icon is not accessible. Thank you for your help! Best, Franziska

- MacOS M1 Ventura 13.2 - Paralells VM (same OS) - Sharing Folder in main VM - In Paralells, Network tab, my main VM is visible. Clicking on "Connect As..." does nothing. Why?

MacOS 13.2.1; Parallels V 18.1.1 Preferences... - Devices is set to 'Ask me what to do'. Running a newly created MacOS VM. When I plug in a USB Thumb drive into my Mac Studio it connects to the real Mac Studio. It never asks if I want to connect it to the Host (Mac Studio) or the MacOS VM. Am I...

Parallels 18.2, Ventura 13.2.1 on host and guest. Changing the settings under Shortcuts > macOS System Shortcuts > Send macOS system shortcuts has no effect; the host responds even if the guest is set to "always." Do I need to change a privacy or accessibility setting in the host System Settings...

I wanted to reset my MacOS VM to a default state, hoping it would be quicker than just deleting the old one and reinstalling. However after doing so, I find that I can no longer boot the VM. I was using a VM with MacOS Ventura 13.2 and I... Went to System Settings General Transfer or Reset...

I have installed three VM's; two time macOS and one time W11. But just at the W11 VM I can edit the settings - not for both MacOS VM's. There the gear is grey. Any ideas why? Just note; actual I use a Trial of Parallels

Hello, I habe a Macbook Pro M1 with 16 GB of RAM and installed MacOS Ventura as a virtual machine (I used the Installation Assistant in MacOS 18, recent version). I can not change any of the virtal machines' settings (e.g. CPU cores or RAM). Since I must install a RAM-hungry application in this...

Hi, I've successfully installed guess OS on top of Parallels running in M1 environment. Now I'd like to upgrade the OS to Ventura, but I don't have enough disk space. This configuration seems missing from the control panel (see attached). Any other alternatives for how to change the disk...

Hi after upgrading from version 16 to 18 standard, I do not see how to take vm snapshot. I also do not see how to configure vm details and even after I installed the tools I do not see how to access host file system from the guest. Any idea why?

I have created a macOS12 VM and it is 68.75GB, without adding any data or apps. This is far larger than a bare bones install on a Mac is. There aren't any reclaim space or configuration options either. Am I missing something? Thanks

Hi! There is a way to create a linked clone for macOS 12 Monterey, Apple M1 chip ? When I try to create a linked clone, Parallels give me this error code: PRL_ERR_COMMAND_CANT_BE_EXECUTED_WITH_MACVM.

I have a virtual machine of osx monterey I created via the cli including the custom disk size etc, registered the vm with parallels and it seems to work great. However I am having major issues when using templates. 1) i use prlctl to create a template from the known good mac osx vm 2) i can...

Hello, can someone tell me if it is possible with Parallels 17 to share folders of the host system (macOS 12) to the client system (also macOS X 12)? With Windows as client system I find the settings. But unfortunately not if the client system is inside Parallels MacOS-X. Parallels Toolbox is...

I want to disable SIP in a guest VM from an M1 host. I found this post (https://forum.parallels.com/threads/how-to-disable-system-integrity-protection-sip.339840/) for intel based hosts but the config UI is not available on M1 macs. The known limitations (https://kb.parallels.com/128867) also...

I am trying to get access to an embedded device via USB on a macOS guest (Monterey) and am unable to view the device. I can read/write to the device just fine on Windows, but not on macOS. I don't see the gear or anything. Is there something I should be doing that I'm missing here?
