Thanks in advance.

Does the Parallels team have any solution on the issue where the user enters the password in Big Sur but it returns to the login screen again? This is an issue that I am facing now and I also realize that others have the same issue.

 

my paralells says it is nt installed when it is ran and reinstalling it makes not difference on big sur

 

I have the exact same issue, with the exact same keys. Lower t and y, and 1 and 2. Shift T and Y work, and my number Keypad works.

 

FYI all, the Parallels tech support was awesome. Reviewing the missing keyboard presses for T, Y, 1, 2, they found a way to workaround neatly.

Simply to go into Parallels app > Preferences > under your "Virtual Machine" (ie Windows 10), > Shortcuts > Add new shortcuts where you map "1" to "1", and so on. It's made life back to normal!

 

Hi Maria,

Just saw this and applied and it got me past the BIErrorDomain error 3.

Thanks,
Michael.

 

• Big Sur login displays a black screen after login and then returns to login screen. Report ID: 343362081
• Big Sur hangs after installing Parallels Tools. Report ID: 343360898

 

Same problem for me. Any resolution yet?

 

Does anyone know when Parallels will start selling their next version? Historically speaking Parallels usually launches the new version before the new Mac OS version and bugs that occurred with the old Parallels on the new OS version are mitigated in the new version. This way they keep the one-year subscription going.

 

Hi, Did anybody face this, after installing Mac OS Big Sur on a parallels VM (upgrade from 10.15.6), I am stuck at the log-in screen, it accepts the password cursor keeps circling and then screen goes dark and comes back to the log-in screen again.

 

I have generated a Parallels report and report ID is 343370092

 

Pressing function works for me. What is causing this random bug?! Anything we can do to get round it? Different keyboard layout or something?

 

Perfect, works a treat bud. Thank you

 

1. Create a new Parallels VM by installing a fresh copy of macOS Catalina from Recovery Partition (or use existing VM) and Resize disk drive to be at least 90 GB if you have to copy the Big Sure image to the applications folder to proceed with the installation
2. DO NOT INSTALL Parallels Tools or uninstall it if it's already installed (tools are needed to drag and drop the Big Sure image from real mac to the CatalinaVM Application folder, then uninstall them
3. Login to Apple Developer Program with safari, always in CatalinaVM, to recognize and authorize the virtual macOS
4. remove the user login password, which you have set in CatalinaVM, so that at the end of the installation of Big Sure it is not asked to avoid problems
5. install Big Sure.... .after the necessary time, about 1 hour, the procedure will be completed and there will be automatic login in Big Sure ... the system seems a little bit unstable and it can happen suddenly that the login mask for entering the password is displayed (bug ...) insert it and you return to the desktop ... some icons are missing in the upper right bar (bug ...)

 

I think this is where everyone is, right now..I have not seen a solution/workaround posted yet...

 

Thanks for sharing the results.

 

Hello, could you please share a bit more details about the issue with us?
Also could you provide us with the screenshots of the issue?

 

I have too same problem when input key 't', 'y','1','2'. I can't input 4 letters. But do work when with shift key like T, Y, !, @.
I am looking forward to wait this solution, at least temporal method. Thanks
