    macOS 10.13 high Sierra Support

    I'm a bit confused. Does Parallels 12 work with High Sierra? I currently have PD 12 installed on my iMac and have both Windows XP and Windows 10 virtual machines. I do not use boot camp. --John

    Parallels Mobile Confusion

    My iMac has a wired connection. I'm new to Mac's, so just to be clear, in order for your Parallels Mobile App to see your MBP (and assuming that both are logged into the Parallels server), which one or more of these items must be true: 1. The MBP must be turned on. 2. The MBP cannot be in...

Most remote programs can "wake up" the iMac, indeed the default setting on Mountain Lion permits this. Are you telling me that Parallels Mobile cannot...

    Parallels Mobile Confusion

    Add Windows Desktop Shortcut causes Mac Desktop Link Icon

    I realize that this is an old thread, but I haven't found anything more recent that addresses this problem. I have the same problem: when I create a desktop shortcut within Windows XP while running it as a VM within Parallels, a shortcut is automatically created on the Mac OSX (Mountain Lion)...
