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...

Hello. I recently upgraded from Parallels Desktop 18 to v19, running on a Mac Studio with an Apple M1 Max chip. While still on v18, I had previously installed Windows 11 and macOS 13 Ventura. Once on v19, I installed a new instance of macOS 14 Sonoma (not upgrading/overwriting over macOS 13)...

Hi, Using Parallels on Sonoma, on a mbp m2. When inside the vm Mac OS guest OS, I press cmd+tab and the vm redirects me to the host (out of the vm) and not showing the local windows. Any ideas how to keep the keyboard on the vm on focus instead of going back to the host ? Thanks a lot!

Using Sonoma on Parallels and cannot sign in with Apple id in System Settings. The error is Verification Failed - The action could not be completed. The error is the same as if the password is incorrect. If I open a browser I can sign in on appleid.apple.com, so the password is correct and there...

Hello all, Now that Sonoma has come up and is the default for macOS virtual machine, how do I install a Ventura virtual machine? I already tried without success creating a .iso from the Ventura installer and downgrading from Sonoma. Please help. Thanks

I tried a couple of times to do a fresh install of newly downloaded macOS Ventura 13.6 as in the subject but it fails in the second stage (black screen with Apple logo and progress bar) closing the VM like a shutdown. Any other user experiencing this issue?

Currently, there is no way to disable the extra dock and menu bar added in Parallels coherence when using a macOS guest. Instead, it should be removed (but re-added with a toggle), and merge the macOS guest's dock and menubar items and context menus into the host macOS session. To verify...

As indicated in the title: I use Parallels under Ventura 13.6 with a VM of 13.5.2. When updating to 13.6, after the reboot, the VM hangs whiel displaying the following error message: The bug is reproducible (tried already 3 times every time with a fresh copy of 13.5.2). Any workaround known?

Since the Isolate option is unavailable in Parallels 19 running on M Chip macOS, would a virus or keylogger on the Ventura Parallels 19 virtual machine not affect the host Mac OS Ventura running on M2?

Hi there, I am messing with creating ARM-based macOS virtual machines, but currently having a problem with networking. By default it uses shared networking, but unlike Intel/x86 VMs it doesn't seem to set DHCP/DNS properly to the expected 10.211.55.x range, and instead using 192.168.64.x. This...

Hello, Knowledge base article 124223 specifies that older Mac OS X versions up to Mac OS X 10.5 are supported, however there is a note with older versions specifying: "Requires a Mac computer that supports the operating system as a host OS." It is not clear to me what exactly is meant here...

If I have a MacOS n VM it shows as "MacOS n" in Control Centre. If I upgrade it to MacOS n+1 it still shows as "MacOS n" in CC and I can't change it. Annoying. And anyway I use multiple MacOS VMs for various testing and I'd like to give them appropriate names; currently I can only colour-code...

Every other thing seems to work fine except sometimes the macOS VM freezes for a few seconds before working. The most noticeable moment is during mouse scrolling. The guest VM freezes and unfreezees itself after some seconds. Any workaround on this will be appreciated. Issue on M1 machine

With latest version of Parallels Desktop 19 it is not possible to virtualize macOS 12. Parallels displays a black screen. If I virtualize the latest beta of macOS Sonoma if it works correctly. Tested on a Macbook Pro 14' 2021 with M1 Max and macOS Ventura 13.5.1 Thanks.

Hi everyone, One of the most frustrating things for me is the time sync on the guest os, if I shut my mac and reopen later the time is no longer synced and I don't think it works through NTP in the VM, is this normal or am i doing something wrong? Thanks,

Hi Previously, with an Intel Mac, it was possible to simulate enrolment in an MDM via the DEP by adding lines in the Boot Order section. https://kb.parallels.com/en/124564 Today, this is no longer possible for machines with ARM processors (no more Hardware / Boot order / Advanced settings). Do...

I did the most basic thing on my intel MacBook Pro (2018): downloaded the 13.5 installer on a mac running the same OS. The installation seemed to go well but when in run the VM it is stuck in the starting screen and the machine gets rather hot (and requires a reboot to recover). Already put...

Hi all, I installed macOS Ventura in a guest VM. I cannot find how to enable Coherence for this VM. Where can I find it?

Will the next release include the ability to use the Camera and USB devices for MacOS VMs?
