macos guest

Per the title, it seems all of my VM's have a backup tab in the properties dialog - except for MacOS based VM's Seems like an omission, but if this is an intentional omission it might be better to have the tab present with an explanation

I upgraded my parallels from ~12 to v19 AND updated my computer from intel mac to M3 macbook air. Obviously none of my windows VMs work. But, I installed a brand new MacOS VM. But, when I boot the VM, none of the local mac hardware is available... most importantly the camera (other stuff would...

I'm trying to create a VM running MacOS. When I reach the stage in installation to specify the AppleID, I get an "unknown error" message. If I skip and try to install later, the field where I would enter my AppleID in settings won't accept characters. Is this a known issue? Any workarounds?

I recently created a new MacOS VM on Parallels 19 for Mac (v 19.3.0) but instead of running I get the macOS "Starting" splash screen with a spinning logo that disappears after about a minute then disappears along with the splash screen leaving the Parallels "Control Center" panel as if noting...

Intel macOS host: 14.4 macOS guest: 14.2.1 Parallels: 19.3.0 Updated Parallels Tools. Everything working fine. After updating the macOS guest to macOS 14.4, the login screen works, but after login, the mouse and keyboard no longer work and thus the VM is usuable. The mouse cursor does not even...

Hi guys, had this problem for a while so I thought I'd ask aorund: I am using an Apple M1 Pro as the host running MacOS 14.2.1. The VM is also a MacOS 14.2.1, but the problem has been around before this version. When I start the VM I can copy and paste between host and VM. Then I suspend and...

Hi Folks, Trying to figure out how to upgrade MacOS on my guest VMs. It says I need an extra 6gb of space freed up to do the upgrade from 13.4 to 14.3. I would really like to avoid having to recreate all of these VMs from scratch with a larger virtual drive (I'm aware that's an option). So far...

Is this possible through a manual setting? No configuration wheel exposed in Control Center, unlike other VM OS. MacOS: 14.2.1 (23C71) Parallels: Version 19.2.1 (54832)

Hi, macOS VM guest seems to be sharing the host's home directory by default and there doesn't seem to be a Settings button for this type of VM. There is a "Isolate Windows from Mac" option on Windows VMs, how can I achieve the same on the macOS guest?

I am using a MAC Studio M2 Ultra and using Parallels 19 to create VMs. However, I am having an issue when trying to create the third VM. When I turn it on, it will turn off a previous VM. And only a maximum of two VMs can run. Does anyone have a solution for this situation?

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...
