Hello, I use Parallels Pro 20 and went to create a Mac OS 15.4 VM. When it tries to start, the VM crashes. My Mac is an M4 Max, running Mac OS 15.4. I saw that beta versions of 15.4 had similar issues, but I am able to use my Windows 11 VMs just fine. It's Mac OS VM that crashes. Any advice?

Hi, I need to create a development environment inside my M1 chip Mac. I'm running Sequoia 15.3.2 so I thought creating a Sequoia 15.3.2 VM would have been the easiest solution. Well, I was wrong. First of all, there are no ISO/DMG ready to be used (problem of Apple I know). I followed several...

Greetings! I'm curious, the newer systems, such as Sonoma and Sequoia, older peripherals plugged into USB ports aren't being recognized. In my case, it's a label printer and a Boss guitar effects unit that won't work with the new systems. Does anyone know, will they work with the older OS on a...

On the Apple support forum I posted the following: I recently installed macOS 15.3 and now my mac logs me off after a period of inactivity. I checked System Settings and the "Log out automatically after inactivity" is not set. How do I stop it from logging me off? Note that under Sonoma my...
