macos guest

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...

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...

Yesterday I installed a MacOS guest on my Ventura M1 Mac, which started out fine. Then I discovered the first problem - Parallels won't let me view or edit the MacOS guest's configuration, like you can with Linux VMs. No way to turn on folder sharing, move the network interface from NAT to...

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...

Dear Users, I am using Parallels 17 in the 14 day trial period and trying to use a MDM and need the same Serial number as my host. To do this I follow this kb which says it should be possible from V17: https://kb.parallels.com/123455 However it does not work: 1) Terminal prlctl list -a does...

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 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'm trying to make a macOS VM look like an actual computer, the goal is not to be able to tell (from MDM mostly) that this is a VM I find some articles about the article, the UUID, and the model identifier : -- Which I can try at the moment because somehow I don't have the gear for the VM...

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?

Hello. I have an a2348 model mac mini (which is an 8-cores M1, 16GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, with macOS Monterey 12.2.1), and I'm picking virtualization software that will allow running several MacOS guests on the Mac mini (I'm going to test a developing software on different MacOS versions). Has the...

Hello! I'd like to install an OSX virtual machine on a USB, but unfortunately when I move to a USB the file automatically created by parallels (ext. .macvm) and I try to run it the error Cannot retrieve the hardware model data parallels appears, and it closes. Is it maybe related to the strange...

I have a MacBook Pro and I'm running Big Sur. I'd like to install either Yosemite or Sierra as a virtual machine. I downloaded the .dmg files but when I try to install them it says "unable to detect operating system." Customer support told me that I need to use an .app file, not a .dmg file. I...

Hello, I'm running Parallels on a new MacBook Pro M1, and have a MacOS 12 Monterey VM running successfully. The Safari browser works great in the Mac VM, but when I try running the Apple Silicon version of Chrome or Edge, it's so slow as to be unusable. There is a 4-5 second delay even typing...
