I just test Parallels on my MacBook Pro M2. I installed MacOS VM and want to install some apps (iMovie etc.). How can I archive this? Registering my Apple ID is not possible (it's a known limitation).

Hallo community, I know that it is possible to isolate Windows from Mac. Is it also possible to isolate Mac from Mac? I have a MacBook Pro 14'' with Ventura 13.3.1. On this machine there is parallels 18 installed with 3 VMs (Windows 11, Kali Linux and Mac OS 13). For Windows 11 and Kale Linux...

Hello I am using a 28-core Intel Xeon W MAC Pro, and I have also updated Parallels to the latest version. The MAC OS version I am using is also MAC OS Ventura. However, when I try to install a VM with MAC Ventura, I always encounter errors during the installation process. Do you have any...

I am unable to access a folder shared on the host OS (Ventura 13.0.1) from a macOS guest VM (Monterey 12.4) on the same machine using the native macOS file sharing feature. I am able to access the shared folder from other Macs on my home WiFi, so I know that the shared folder and the sharing...

I just installed Parallels. I am trying to see how to create snapshots (sorry, if I'm confusing terminology with VMWare.) I'm running a macOS Ventura (ARM64) as a guest VM on the same type host OS. The manual says that the option to create snapshots is in the Actions menu. But in my case...

All my non macOs guests are on the same bridge in the host (bridge100). The macOs guest create its own bridge (bridge102). Is there any way to get it to use the same bridge as the other VMs so they can be on the same network?

- 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."

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...

Hi all, I'm building macOS VMs for iOS development and automated testing. However, since we're running Parallels Desktop 17/18 on an M1 Mac, we can't use GitLab CI/CD runners anymore, because the snapshot functionality isn't available on M1 Parallels Desktop. Please, bring it back, it's a very...

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...
