Can't Uninstall Parallels Desktop, Need Help.

I have stopped using Parallels Desktop and decided to uninstall it using the provided uninstaller. This however didn't get rid of the Kernel service so I used the sudo commands they say to use. However this still did not get rid of the services that are running despite the fact I have done all I can to remove it. How can I get rid of this program as its really bugging me.
Thanks

Yer I ran those sudo commands but I can't seem to get it to stop working. After a restart the console always has Parallels updates and the virtual networks keep remaking themselfs.

How to uninstall parallel?

I have being having problems with my software. Parallels 8 dosen't get uninstalled completely.

Removing Parallels probably does not cause the Launchpad to update. Have you tried restarting the machine after removing Parallels? Also, note that Parallels does not remove your virtual machine files.

Parallels Desktop 3.0 on Snow Leopard

We would like to upgrade to the new Snow Leopard OS.
However we are presently running Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac on the OS X Leopard software. Part of the decision to upgrade to OS X Snow Leopard will depend on being able to do a smooth transition for Parallels when we do the upgrade.
Has anyone gone through this yet and if so can you tell us if you have encountered any difficulties with running Parallels 3.0 once you have done the upgrade.
Thanks ... Lyndale

I can attest to the fact that Parallels 3 will not work with SL. I learned the hard way three days ago. I jumped on SL as soon as it was released in my locality. Alas after completing the upgrade I realized I couldn't open my Windows XP VM. Having many mission critical tasks based on the VM, my quick fix was to upgrade to Parallels 4 (something I had always hoped I would never have to do).
For the most part the upgrade to Parallels 4 in SL was a breeze. There were no problems with the VM side. All applications were functioning and there was no trouble with the data. The caveat: Parallels Tools is not fully functioning no matter how much I tried to reinstall it. I encountered the following:
1. Mouse synchronization not working between host and VM (I'm stuck with having to hit ctrl + alt to release cursor all the time)
2. Dynamic resolution tool not working (guest OS window not resizing automatically)
3. Coherence is not working
The other tools seem to be working fine: clip board and time synchronization, shared profile and applications tools, and parallels compressor. It is more of a convenience issue of seamlessly working between host and VM, but a convenience I sorely miss. It appears from Parallels Forums that a significant number of users are experiencing this trouble. No working solution for me yet, but let me share the three options offered by Parallels Support:
METHOD 1: Uninstall and Re-install Parallels Tools using the VM Control Panel => Add and Remove Programs (http://kb.parallels.com/en/4841) followed by reinstall of Tools from the Virtual Machine Menu of Parallels Desktop.
METHOD 2: Uninstall Parallels Desktop using the latest dmg file (build 3846) then re-installing using the same. You won't lose your VM with this trick, but it didn't work for me still.
METHOD 3: Alternate method of re-installing Parallels Tools by connecting the VM to an ISO image (prl-tools-win.iso) in your /library/parallels/tools folder (placed there during initial install of Parallels 4) then installing tools from the VM side.
Apparently the above workarounds have worked for some. I am still hunting for the solution that will work for me (any suggestions from the gurus out there?). I miss Parallels 3 now, but I'm still hoping I never need to roll back to 10.5.8.
Consider these when thinking about your planned upgrade.

HT3258 Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac

how to upgrade parallel desktop version 6 to 7 after installation of OSX 10.8.

You can download it right from Parallel's site and then purchase a code for the full version.

Finder icon on dock pixelated following installation of Parallels Desktop 6x?

Shortly after installing Parallels Desktop 6x, I noticed the Finder icon (in the dock) was pixelated. I uninstalled Parallels Desktop but the appearance persists?

In coreservices you can click on the finder.app and then right click on it or hit command I.
You will then see the icon in the upper left hand corner. When you click on that icon it will turn blue meaning that it can be copied or you can paste a different icon in.
When finder.app is in coreservices you can not change the icon. The best is to make a copy of finder.app and put it on the desktop you should then be able to change it.
But it does not work for the finder icon it is locked by the os.
This is where the icon is located.
/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/finder.png
Navigate to this location and then open up the icon is it pixilated?

Launchpad and Parallels Desktop Icons Fail.

Hello!
Just got Lion and obviously it puts ALL apps in launchpad, so I was ready for some serious rearranging to get move the hundreds of apps/utilities I hardly ever use to the far end (not very clever this). Unfortunately it's also put all the parallels desktop icons for all my Windows 7 apps in there too making up just over half of Launchpad. I could live with this if it wasn't for the fact that I uninstalled Parallels desktop a few weeks ago, and the windows drive doesn't exist anymore! Clicking on them just brings up an error box that they can't be found. Any ideas?
Where do these virtual machine app shortcuts live? Is there something in the library I can delete (holding option and selecting the Go menu in finder shows the hidden Libraries folder)

In my home folder /users/username
I have a folder named "Applications (Parallels)"
In this folder I have another folder named the same as my virtual machine. Removing the "virtual machine" folder from within the "Applications (Parallels)" folder removes the items from launchpad.
You should also note that Paralles has a Lion specific update. If you have not updated Parallels, I would do this first, and then follow these instructions.

How to reinstall owned adobe acrobat 7? I have it on Parallels Desktop, but accidentally unstall on Mac :(

At first got some printing problems, I fixed them, but cannot print or find the pdf icon on printer drives. Stupidly, I accidentally uninstall the Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional thinking i can reinstall back just like the printer drives, but then find out the disk I own show 'Windows'. I have Parallels Desktop and this Acrobat 7 is working fine on Windows side, but I seldom open Windows, and I really really need pdf files on my Mac. I have spend days and hours trying to find out how to reinstall or map the application back on Mac. Please anyone can teach me how? I even contacted Adobe Acrobat, not quite friendly. Thanks a lot.

I only have the Windows version, i never have the Mac version, forgot how I can use it on Mac for the past years. I bought the Parallels years ago along with this Mac and limited to computer knowledge. I see 'Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional' on Mac application, thread ' 'X' Acrobat Uninstaller.app' What does it mean, can it be recovered?

How can I obtain a complete Time Machine backup (about 300 GB), with Windows 7-Parallels Desktop, without the system re-booting automatically?

I have been operating my MacBook Pro 15" (Mac OS 10.7.5), with Windows 7 - Parallels Desktop, for about one and one-half years. However, whenever I execute a Time Machine back-up, and leave the system to complete the process, I return only to find that my system has re-booted, long before the back-up is completed. I do not use the auto-backup feature because I do not see how to change the shedule for backups away from the default schedule of hourly backups (too my stain on performance). Is there something that I am missing in setting up for such a back-up? I am currently operating away from home, using wi-fi for Internet access.
Appreciatively, Arbyem

How do I install Microsoft Office 2013 on my Mac via my Windows 8 Parallels Desktop 8 partition?

I recently bought a copy of Windows 8, Microsoft Office 2013 and Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac.
I wanted to install a Windows partition on my Mac so that I could run MS Office 2013 on a virtual machine.
I set up the VM, and everything was looking fine and worked smoothly.
Then, when I inserted the MS Office 2013 disk into the CD drive, nothing happened!
I tried to install MS Office 2013 but to no avail.
Does anyone know how to overcome this issue?
Thanks.

In the Configure menu item, under Virtual Machine, configure the CD/DVD to be recognized by your SuperDrive:
The only drawback is that you have to quit Parallels for the drive to be recognized by the Mac again.
I just purchased the Office 365 subscription for both Office 2011 on my Mac and Office 2013 on my Windows 7 side - sure makes life simpler, and less expensive.
