I will upgrade my Mac to El Capitan (pardon my spelling) when it is officially released. Can I still use Parallels Desktop 10? (I don't wish to upgrade to Parallels Desktop 11, since rollback mode has apparently been removed)

It is very disappointing to read that Parallels has removed the rollback mode from Parallels Desktop 11. Can someone tell me: what is the difference between creating a snapshot and using rollback mode? Are snapshots still available in Parallels Desktop 11? I realize that rollback mode is...

I'm not a security expert, but I do find what I've learned in this thread disturbing. And I believe Mr. Barnard and Specimen's related comments are correct. Parallels should not be installing remote access "backdoors" on my system without my explicit permission. I have parallels 8, and am...

I apologize, as I've asked this before, but I want to get the latest info. Has the problem Parallels has using a Bootcamp partition as a VM on a Mac Pro with multiple internal hard drives been fixed in the latest version of Parallels Desktop 6? I am referring to the issue where Parallels...

Was the multiple internal hard drive issue fixed is Parallels 6? The problem mentioned above (wherein Parallels gets confused on Mac Pros with multiple internal drives which get renumbered by the MacOS at boot) Was this fixed in Parallels 6??

We really need a manual uninstall procedure Parallels support - please provide and post a manual uninstall procedure for parallels tools! This has been a problem for me on several occasions!!

I didn't do what you did, so I can't answer with certainty. But I believe: -you will have to install windows a second time, using the boot camp installation procedure. You cannot use an installation of windows in parallels to create the boot camp partition. (you can do the reverse - if you...

I, and many others, have been dealing with this problem for years, and I've had many conversations with Parallels tech support. There is no way to avoid the issues you describe in Parallels. The workaround you use (manually selecting the correct disk) works, but with the problems you have...

more info please Parallels does not play well with Mac Pro's with multiple hard drives. Hopefully, this will be fixed in the future. That said, most of us have been able to get it to work. In my case, it parallels installed properly, and I had no trouble getting it to configure a vm based...

Update as of 1/27/10: still not fixed This is of course an old thread, but it is linked to by and excellent review of the three virtualization products that was just posted in Macworld.com. Hence this reply. The problem with using the boot camp partition as a VM under Parallels in Mac Pro...

Parallels, as you know, allows you to run Windows on a MacBook Pro that is booted normally in to MacOs. The parallels Windows environment is distinct and separate from MacOs, but you can share files between them, and usually you can share printers. Boot Camp, on the other hand, allows you...

There is a known bug in Parallels (versions 4 and 5) such that a VM based on the Boot Camp partition will not work consistently in a system (such as a Mac Pro) with more than one hard drive. This is because the MacOS may assign different designations to the Boot Camp VM at every boot up...

To Ronlap, The symptom you describe, failure to find OS, is indeed what would happen. But there are many other problems that can also do this. The problem I describe will only occur on Mac's with multiple hard drives, which means the Mac Pro. also, it occurred in Parallels 4 as well as...

There is a known issue with Parallels and boot camp partititons on systems with more than one hard drive. The Mac OS is inconsistent in how it designates hard drives, depending on which disk spins up first. On one bootup, the disk with bootcamp might be disk0s3, on a reboot it might be...

Mac Pro the Mac Pro by default boots the 64 bit Snow Leopard kernel. As your knowledge base article points out, confirmed by several entries from users in your forums, this is NOT compatible with parallels 4.0. Thus, Mac Pro users running Parallels 4.0 should NOT upgrade to Snow Leopard...

I agree! We need Tools for Ubuntu 9.04 ASAP!

The above post may be only half of the solution OK: first a big caveat - I haven't done what you are trying to do myself. The preceding user suggests you use Parallels Image Tool to increase the size of your virtual disk. That is, I believe a necessary first step. But, you also need to...

And, what good are they? here's a related question: Once you have found them, what good are they? They are fine products for Windows, but they do not understand either the Mac GPT partitioning scheme or the Mac HFS file system. what this means is that backups using True Image can only be...

check out "unofficial fix" Please note that there is another thread in this forum, entitled "Unofficial fix for Linux Guest OS Parallels Tools with Xorg 1.4 version ", at http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=21021 In this thread, Parallels points out that the version of Parallels...

Same thing happened to me. I updated to 5600, and shared networking failed. I have placed a support ticket. For the time being, I have switched to bridged networking.
