macos guest

It installs just fine (new VM); but when it gets into the setup assistant, it constantly reboots after some seconds (the time can vary: setup loads, but then crashes): perhaps some form of graphics problem...?

I want to disable SIP in a guest VM from an M1 host. I found this post (https://forum.parallels.com/threads/how-to-disable-system-integrity-protection-sip.339840/) for intel based hosts but the config UI is not available on M1 macs. The known limitations (https://kb.parallels.com/128867) also...

I'm trying to make a macOS VM look like an actual computer, the goal is not to be able to tell (from MDM mostly) that this is a VM I find some articles about the article, the UUID, and the model identifier : -- Which I can try at the moment because somehow I don't have the gear for the VM...

I am trying to get access to an embedded device via USB on a macOS guest (Monterey) and am unable to view the device. I can read/write to the device just fine on Windows, but not on macOS. I don't see the gear or anything. Is there something I should be doing that I'm missing here?

I have a 16 inch MacBook Pro with a 4K display but the MacOS parallels virtual machine only runs at HD

Hello. I have an a2348 model mac mini (which is an 8-cores M1, 16GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, with macOS Monterey 12.2.1), and I'm picking virtualization software that will allow running several MacOS guests on the Mac mini (I'm going to test a developing software on different MacOS versions). Has the...

Hello! I'd like to install an OSX virtual machine on a USB, but unfortunately when I move to a USB the file automatically created by parallels (ext. .macvm) and I try to run it the error Cannot retrieve the hardware model data parallels appears, and it closes. Is it maybe related to the strange...

I have a MacBook Pro and I'm running Big Sur. I'd like to install either Yosemite or Sierra as a virtual machine. I downloaded the .dmg files but when I try to install them it says "unable to detect operating system." Customer support told me that I need to use an .app file, not a .dmg file. I...

Hello, I'm running Parallels on a new MacBook Pro M1, and have a MacOS 12 Monterey VM running successfully. The Safari browser works great in the Mac VM, but when I try running the Apple Silicon version of Chrome or Edge, it's so slow as to be unusable. There is a 4-5 second delay even typing...

I've been unable to login with an Apple ID in the Big Sur guest that is offered at Parallels install time. The error is the same for my normal Apple ID and one newly created from within the guest OS. Logging into iCloud from System Preferences generates a 'Verification error'. All generic stuff...

It sounds like this is supposed to be possible now, but I can't figure it out. Anyone get this set up? Trying to start with Big Sur - so downloaded the Install Big Sur app from the app store. Don't see any way to use it during the VM setup process. Anyone successful with this?

Running Version 16.5.0 (49183) Pro on OSX Big Sur 11.2.3. I have packet filter rules installed for local development from the invoker ruby gem which forward port 80 and 443 to ports 23401 and 23402. As soon as launch Parallels they stop working until I close Parallels and reboot. I can see...

Is it possible to install Big Sur at the moment? When trying to install it using an installer app downloaded from the App Store Parallels says that it needs an ISO or a VHDX image instead.

Hi there I would like to convert one of my older mac in a virtual mac in parallels. I do not want to start all over, installing programs and creating/migrating users. Is there no easier way to do that by migration?

I want to provide some feedback on using Parallels with a macOS guest. My system includes an Apple wireless tablet, and I use control-click to bring up a contextual menu or popup. I found this operation unreliable until I configured the VM to optimize keyboard and mouse "for games"...

I'm using QT7 Pro as part of my workflow in a virtual machine. (If there was an equivalent to QT7 Pro on 64 bit I'd take it.) Host machine is MacBook Pro 16 32GB RAM with AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 4GB VRAM. Any tips on optimizing performance? Even at 8GB RAM with 2 processors (as recommended)...

currently there is no multi-monitor support when the Guest OS is macOS. Can you please implement this?

The default memory allocation for a new macOS guest should be 4GB based on: macOS Catalina the current version of macOS system requirements specify 4GB RAM macOS Catalina can be installed from a Mac's recovery partition and Parallels Desktop will allocate 2GB RAM to this virtual machine. My own...

Could you please support alias's and symlinks when a macOS guest accesses the host's hard disk via shared folders.

I set up a macOS guest VM from the recovery partition and for the most part it works well. My issue is after downloading and installing the MS Teams app I start it and try and sign in but the sign in window that appears flashes the page contents and I can't interact with it to enter my...
