    Connect usb smart card reader to any virtual machine

    By coincidence I also just found a way, how to circumvent the apparent Parallels 15 bug explained in #2: For explanation I have made 2 further screenshots. Pic 1 shows both my Win10 VM desktop (left part) and the Big Sur desktop (right part). In Big Sur the SD card "No Name" is shown, so the...

    Connect usb smart card reader to any virtual machine

    Hi, I connect to this thread, because my problem might be related. I'm using Parallels 15.1.5 (47309) with a OS Win10 virtual machine on my Macbook Pro mid 2015 with builtin SD card reader, running Big Sur 11.1 Beta. When I plug in a standard 4GB-SD-card (I have also tried with several others)...

    Solution already found: Mojave VM freezes after/when doing system update via system settings

    When I started only the Mojave VM (instead of both my Mac and Win VMs), then for Parallels Desktop I got a menu item "Actions", where I could select Stopp, which ramped the VM down. After that and with a new start I could complete the system update. Sorry for having added a thread for this. If...

    Solution already found: Mojave VM freezes after/when doing system update via system settings

    I'm sorry that I couldn't identify a solution in the forum and thus found no other way than to ask here: System settings told me the an update for my Mojave 10.14.6 VM should be made (including a Safari update, which to my guessing is the culprit), but after starting that I obviously got a...

    Help! I moved everything to a new Mac, and now starting my VM gets stuck

    I moved my complete system disc including my VMs to my new Macbook, and when I start my Parallels 14, then I end up with various windows, on top of them an empty window titled "Parallels Desktop". One single time this asked me to login using a Facebook account. Which I denied (I don't want...

    Mac Firewire connection not recognized/accessible in Windows 10 guest OS

    I re-installed Parallels Tools, and for testing I did both check and uncheck the "Share Mac camera with Windows" (BTW: this sound like influencing only the Mac builtin camera). In both cases I found under Devices only the builtin Mac Facetime HD camera (also when having unchecked the above)...

    Mac Firewire connection not recognized/accessible in Windows 10 guest OS

    Hi, I'm using Parallels Desktop 11 with a Windows 10 guest OS. But when running a video capture program under Win10, then the camcorder connected to the Mac via Firewire is not found, although powered on and connected. Also under Devices/External Devices nothing similar is shown (only the Mac...

    Can't Reserve Win10 - Parallels Display Driver Critical Issue

    Yes, I can well recommend this procedure: a) Get on your Mac host to here: Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool ... b) select the right windows version (for me "Windows 10" 64 Bit) and download the ISO c) mount the ISO using the Mac finder tools d) execute from your Win 8/8.1...

    10.9 / PD9 / Windows 8.1: I keep getting "problem with virtual machine" message

    Re-installation of PD9 resolved the problem And at the same time I did a Windows8.1 update from their update service. Don't know whether this contributed to solving the problem.

    I use all the latest software versions... My installation works fine, but in the notification center Windows 8.1 keeps displaying (translated from German) "Solving a problem with virtual machine". When clicking this, I am brought to the maintenance center, where I get the message "Load the...

    PD9: after upgrade to Win 8.1, re-installing Parallels Tools stops at 15%

    I re-installed Windows 8, not keeping anything from my existing installation, then upgraded to Windows 8.1, and then installed my applications again. This worked.

    PD9: after upgrade to Win 8.1, re-installing Parallels Tools stops at 15%

    Because the day was so boring, I've tried now everything possible, including starting from scratch with a backup pvm file with Windows 8, and then doing all the update procedures again. I also tried the complex scenario for reinstalling Parallels Tools as given on the Parallels support site...

    PD9: after upgrade to Win 8.1, re-installing Parallels Tools stops at 15%

    I upgraded from WIn 8, where everything was ok. Now the Win 8.1 "maintenance center" keeps telling me "Solve a problem with virtual machine" (translated from German), which guides to the re-installation of Parallels Tools. But it progresses quickly to 15% and then is stuck. I can only cancel...

    Parallels 7 with Win 8 R.Prev. wants only 4 GB RAM?!?

    An authoritative voice is missing up to now, apparently... Apparently I am not the first to ask and not getting an unambiguous answer, as it appears... And I am in need for a voice which is authoritative, not one that sounds authoritative. But how to recognize the one from the other...

    Parallels 7 with Win 8 R.Prev. wants only 4 GB RAM?!?

    With my Early 2011 Quad Core MBP with 8 GB RAM I used 4 GB for the Win 8 PM. Everything was fine. Now I have upgraded my MBP to 16 GB RAM (which is correctly detected by my 10.7.4), but when I now assign 8 GB to my Win 8 PM, then my latest version Parallels insists on letting me repeatedly...

    Win 8 Rel.Preview: My Mouse cannot "escape" the Parallels Window

    Since establishing a new VM with Windows 8 Release Preview in my Parallels 7.0.15094 I cannot invoke Coherence (it tells something like "coherence doesn't work, please retry or contact Parallels support"), and more annoying: the mouse can no longer escape the Parallels windows, until I press...

    Which GPS/Map works with 5608 and WinXP?

    You're right, I'll indeed consider buying a Germin Nuvi 200w for my present journey. Re the iPhone, I have one with me, but I can have internet access here in the US only at prohibitive cost.
