I have just created a macOS 10.12 VM as offered in the Control Center. It starts up and shows me my usual user icon along with a Guest User. However, when I specify the usual password for accessing my user account it is rejected with only, after a few attempts, a message saying I can '...reset...

Today I installed Parallels Desktop Lite on a brand new 2019 Macbook Pro running MacOS Mojave 10.14.6. The machine started fine but there is no sound and looking at Sound settings shows the output tab reporting "Sound says No Output Devices Found" (see screenshot below). Is this expected behavior?

Could map the Windows apps' menu bar to macOS menu bar ?

I have 3 USB serial lines connected to my MacBook Pro using a hub. Although macOS/Mojave can see all 3 lines properly, when I try to map just the one I need to use under Windows, Parallels tries to tell me that I can't use UART #5. OK, fine, but which of the lines is it referring to? It would be...

Upon launching Parallels Desktop 14 in macOS Mojave 10.14.5 it says 'Parallels Desktop is not optimized for this version of mac and needs to be updated. Please contact the developer for more assistance.' - or something like this message (I don't remember the wordage exactly). This must be in...

It would be nice to be able to run macOS (10.13) as a guest OS when already installed on another partition, akin to running Windows on a Bootcamp partition. I really don't want to have to reboot every time I need to access that partition (I am moving to a clean install but need info from my old...

Hi All, I am new to this and I have one issue with Parallels, I hope you have an idea. For work I run a program that acts as an interface to call cmd-line programs. These are supposed to run in the background and exit after the calculation is completed. On a normal PC this works absolutely...

Hi, We are using Parallels Desktop 14, on host macOS 10.14 Mojave. Unfortunately, each macOS virtual machine (guest), versions 10.12, 10.13 and 10.14 is automatically paused after some inactivity. But it is not able to be resumed, as the CPU is 100% and not even after half hour the resumed...

Please add this function. On macOS, when I try to mount with Parallels Mounter a macOS .pvm file, it only mounts the EFI and not the other partitions : Recovery and "Macintosh HD" files system. The same way as when we mount Windows .pvm file, it mounts all partitions. It will allow to recue...

Hello, I can't seem to successfully install or reinstall the Parallel Tools into an existing VM, like Ubuntu, LEAP, however there are no issues with it in regards to Windows 10. What do I need to do to get a successful install or reinstall? When i try to reinstall, I get a message about...

I'm a new user and trying to figure out how to install Mojave as a guest OS on top of High Sierra. I've made a bootable installer of Mojave (as a DMG disk image and also on a thumb drive) but Parallels simply doesn't see it. The only other option I can think of is to install High Sierra from...

I've run the installation script at: /Applications/Parallels Desktop Lite.app/Contents/Resources/Tools/prl-tools-mac.iso It seems to run OK, and I've rebooted. When I try to run prl_convert from here: /Applications/Parallels Desktop Lite.app/Contents/MacOS/prl_convert I get: Illegal...

Hello, When I use Windows 10 under Parallels on my Mac, will all Windows apps (including Windows 10 itself) run sandboxed? I mean, will Paralles stop any attempts of Windows apps (or Windows 10 itself) to read or write outside the virtualization, in the macOS environment? Thank you.

Has anyone been experiencing the issue where System Preferences crashes after Parallels Mac Management for SCCM is installed? One of the desktop techs has brought it to my attention that is is occurring on a handful of brand new, out of box, MacBook Pro's with High Sierra. After install, they go...

Hi all, I am on PD Version 13.3.0 (43321) using Mac OS Version 10.13.4, and for a long time my installations of Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview, Version 1709, OS Build 17025.1000, will not update properly using any of the rings or Windows Update options. I can get app updates and quality updates...

I am using Parallels Desktop Version 13.3.0 (43321). I created a macOS VM and installed High Sierra latest build from Apple (10.13.3). The installation went ok. I then added in the Parallels tools (I think - I went through the process and completed the download and install - but when I...

Since macOS 10.12 is the last version with support for 32bit Apps, I'm running it on a VM to be able to use some of my older (but once expensive) programs. But the integration into the host OS is lacking most of the features that are available for other OSes: While I can switch the machine to...

I'm attempting to install Final Cut Studio 3 (specifically Soundtrack Pro) on macOS 10.12.6, but the installer comes back with an error: Alert • Final Cut Studio Installer requires that your system have 128 MB of VRAM; this system has only 0 MB of VRAM. • Final Cut Studio Installer requires that...

Hello, I just set up a VM running macOS Sierra, on a macOS Sierra host (so that after upgrading the host to High Sierra, I can still run 32Bit apps in the VM). But macOS as guest seems to miss most of the features i have with my other VMs (Windows 10, Ubuntu 14 LTS): there is no way to open...

In order to work on Solaris 11 I got a preconfigured .rar from my teacher. I decompressed the Solaris 11.rar in order to create an .iso on my MAC(created from Disk utility programm MacOS). When I opened the created Solaris.iso with Parallels, it didn't work, I got several error messages. I tried...
