macos guest on intel

Am I missing something? I just paid for Parallels 26 to try properly updating/creating a Tahoe 26.3 guest VM on my Tahoe Intel iMac 5K. Both a new installation and my upgraded macOS installation are completely broken. Parallels Tools fails to install but when I try to do anything in Settings...

I am using Parallels Desktop on an Intel Mac Pro 2019 (16-core, 96 GB RAM) to run a virtual reaaally old macOS 10.9.5 Mavericks - because I need to occasionally use software from this time and age. The host OS is Sequoia 15.7.3. After the recent update to Parallel Desktop 26.2.0, the update of...

I'm running Parallels 20.2.2 on macOS 15.4.1 running on an Intel Mac Pro 2019. Creating a new macOS VM from the Recovery Partition seems to work fine, but when I go to the Settings app, then to General > About, the pane is blank. Also, selecting About This Mac from the Apple menu doesn't work...

After upgrading my VM to macOS 15.4.1, the guest tools don't appear to be functioning properly on my intel mac any longer. I am unable to see any shared folders, and I am unable to use commands such as `prlctl exec` or `prlctl enter` from the host machine. I do not see this issue on my Apple...

Hi All, I'm unable to sign in to my Apple ID during the installation of macOS Sequoia 15.0.1 that was initiated from the Recovery Partition image, with it saying "An unknown error occurred". The host is also running Sequoia 15.0.1 on a MacBook Pro 2018 with Intel chipset. I'm currently running...

According to the release notes, Parallels Desktop 20 "removed support for Mac OS X 10.5 to 10.8". Does this mean that it doesn't actually work any more with these guest operating systems, or that you no longer support these Virtual Machines any more, and so they may or may not work properly. I...

I have an old laptop that I need to keep running, but the hardware is failing. So I wanted to see if I can convert it to a VM. I have created a full Time Machine backup. I have also downloaded the Install macOS High Sierra install app from the App Store. The system requirements say this is a...

Hello, not for the first time I have seen the issue with update of Mac VM; HW: Mac Pro rack 2019, Parallels 19.2.0 - mac VM is on MacOS 14.0 (i believe it was a fresh install) - System setting > General > Software Update show MacOS 14.2.1 - confirming this update ends up with downloading...

Since updating Parallels to v 19.1.0 (54729) I cannot update macOS Ventura 13.5.2 to either 13.6.1 or Sonoma 14.1. When attempting update it downloads the installer fine, goes through the Preparing Update phase and commences the reboot displaying the Apple logo and a progress bar - which stalls...

It installs just fine (new VM); but when it gets into the setup assistant, it constantly reboots after some seconds (the time can vary: setup loads, but then crashes): perhaps some form of graphics problem...?

I set up a macOS guest VM from the recovery partition and for the most part it works well. My issue is after downloading and installing the MS Teams app I start it and try and sign in but the sign in window that appears flashes the page contents and I can't interact with it to enter my...
