    Can't create parallels VM from bootcamp

    Hi all, I have been running windows 10 in bootcamp and have had a VM from parallels for some time. It's been working well until recently I tried to boot the VM and it gave me an error (don't remember what it was). I deleted the VM thinking I'd recreate it but now I don't have the option to...

    Virtualization software for New Macbook Pro

    I will very likely be using a new 15" Pro soon and will be using 2 VMs or possibly 3 depending on how smoothly I can get 2 to run. I do security work and want to experiment with tools in different OSes. Root OS being MacOS, then possibly 2 flavors of Linux (Kali & undecided) and probably Windows...

    Battery Life running Parallels on 2016 MBP

    Hi all, so I wonder what people's experience has been running Windows 10 using parallels on a MBP 2016. Am I correct in assuming battery life would not be much different with parallels running windows 10 vs bootcamp? My observation has been that bootcamp battery life is pretty weak. Thoughts...

    2016 - VMware Fusion vs Parallels vs...

    I am just curious as to what folks here are using for hosts for virtual Windows (7-10) machines here and if they found any challenges or peculiarities. I'll start by saying that the Parallels interface is more "Mac friendly" and that Fusion is more streamline if not Spartan in appearance. One...

    PPTP VPN on Sierra - any solutions?

    Ever since Apple dropped PPTP support, I can't connect to my company's VPN servers. A lot of PPTP supported VPN don't work well and are really buggy. For example, Shimo VPN connects but only 20% of things work. I thought about buying Parallels 12 and then connecting through PPTP on Windows, but...

    [wrong thread, delete]

    Ever since Apple dropped PPTP support, I can't connect to my company's VPN servers. A lot of PPTP supported VPN don't work 100% and are really buggy. I thought about buying Parallels 12 and then connecting through PPTP on Windows, but that seems like a hack. Does anyone know if this works or an...

    Storage question with virtual drive

    I've attached these two screens of my drive storage report. Since this is a MacBook Air I'm trying to watch my storage space and it appears as though this 30gb drive is virtual inside the 15gb, which is backwards so I know I'm not looking at it right. I'm trying to see if I need the 15gb, but...

    Better Touch Tool and Parallels

    Hi, I work with subtitles using a Windows program, where I'm constantly precision-navigating video files while typing. So far I've always used a Windows laptop where the built in numpad would control the video file, but I'm now looking to move all my work to my MBP. Using an external numpad or...

    EllieMae Encompass on Mac with Parallels/Windows

    Is anyone successfully running Encompass360 on a Mac that might be willing to give me some pointers? I have installed Parallels and Windows, but keep getting error messages about connecting to the server. Am desperate to NOT have to buy a POS Windows machine :) Thanks!

    VM, RDP or Parallels

    Curious, looking to see what everyone's take is on this. I work in I.T. and from time to time, I'm sure I'll need to connect to a Windows Server, or merely RDP to a Windows computer. For those of you that are 'into' this, do you: - merely RDP into the computer of choice - dual boot your Mac...

    Pesky icons in status bar

    Hi all! Does anyone know how to get rid of the icons in your status bar other than the command-drag option? I've had an icon stuck up there for about a year now that I can't seem to get rid of (see attached screenshot). Considering the "Windows Vista" in the top left, I'm assuming its leftover...

    Bootcamp/Parallels - Silly questions

    I am planning to run Windows on my new iMac. For work purposes I would like to treat Windows and OSX as two separate computers to keep work separate from my personal things and so I would like to use bootcamp. I do, however, have a couple of Windows programs that are not work related, so I...
