Parallels and VPC

I have a new MacBook Pro with Parallels and need to install Windows on it. I wrote to Parallels tech help and asked if there was any way to get the Windows out of my old VPC, that I used in my old iBook. Got an answer suggesting that I use Parallels transporter to move the whole VPC into Parallels. My question is: I hated VPC because it was so incredibly slow, and was hoping Parallels on my new computer would work faster. Has anyone tried this routine of copying a VPC machine into Parallels, using their transporter? I don't really quite understand this. Would it mean I would still have to use VPC and it would still be slow? If I buy and install a new version of Windows on Parallels, will it work better and faster? Thanks for any advice.

VPC was slow because it had to (literally) translate from PPC to Intel code and back again.
Now that the Mac is Intel native, VPC is no longer necessary.
Depending on how you bought VPC, it may or may not have shipped with a separate Windows installer CD, but I think it's old enough, it may not have SP2 in the installer.
Parallels allows you to run windows in a window (just like VPC) but at Intel native speed. This allows easy data sharing between OS's
Becasue your machine is Intel based, you can boot your machine directly to either Windows or OS X.
If I understand the process, running windows through parallels will be slightly slower than booting direct to windows. (because windows will use all of both processors if booted directly; through parallels it does not do that.)

Can login to Xmarks on Mac, 10.6.4, no problem, but running parallels and windows XP and Firefox on that, I can't login to Xmarks since it won't accept my password, and I'm asking who to contact to fix this problem with Xmarks?

If the question had been asked before, I would have read the answer. Can you make this support any more useless?
I'm trying to run Firefox on a Mac with Parallels and Windows XP. I can use Firefox, that's fine, what I can't do is sync my bookmarks. They are all synced on both macs, and my old PC, a really slow Dell L110, thus trying to use Parellels. Is there any way to contact someone who can look at why my log in to Xmarks won't work on Parallels? Or if there is a support page somewhere where one can actually get some answers, please let me know. Thanks, Rob Rand

Same issue - however firefox will open but I can not click on only of my tool bar shortcuts - the writing on the google age is greyed out so I can not click on anything. Still no resolution? I have deleted the folders and re-installed - it will open and then locks and it will not work????

How can I execute Stored Procedures in PARALLEL and DYNAMICALLY ?

Hi
I have a stored procedure. It can be executed like this
exec test @p = 1;
exec test @p = 2
exec test @p = n;
n can be hundred.
I want the sp being executed in parallel, not sequence. It means the 3 examples above can be run at the same time.
If I know the number in advance, say 3, I can create 3 different Execution SQL Tasks. They can be run in parallel.
However, the n is not static. It is coming from a table.
How can I execute Stored Procedures in PARALLEL and DYNAMICALLY ?
I think about using script task. In the script, I get the value of n, and the list of p, from the table, then running a loop with. In the loop, I create a threat and in the threat, I execute the sp like : exec test @p = p. So the exec test may
be run parallel. But I am not sure if it works.
Any idea is really appreciated.

Hi nam_man,
According to your description, you want to call stored procedures in parallel, right?
In SSIS, we can create separate jobs with different stored procedures, then set the same schedule to kick the jobs off at the same time. In this way, we should be careful to monitor blocking and deadlocking depending on what the jobs are doing.
We can also put all stored procedures in SSIS Sequence container, then they will be run in parallel.
For more information about SSIS job and Sequence container, please refer to the following documents:

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Trying to install on MacBookPro with Parallels and Windows 8.1. Downloaded the CreativeCloud.exe but says I can't install from network drive

I sometimes like to use Photoshop CC and Lightroom on the Windows side of my MacBookPro with Parallels. I had to reinstall Parallels and also Windows 8.1 recently and am trying to reinstall some of the software that I had previously on the Windows side. I downloaded the CreativeCloud.exe program and when I try to install it from the Windows side, get a message that I can't install Creative Cloud from a network drive. Where can I put the CreativeCloud.exe so I can install it?
Thanks!

You probably need to check your drive setup for the Parallels environment. Nothing to do with Adobe.

Help, I installed parallel and windows, and opened videos (on an external hard disk) with windows, and now cannot open them with Mac, and use i movies. How do I reverse this?

Help, I installed parallel and windows, and opened videos (on an external hard disk) with windows, and now cannot open them with Mac, and use i movies. How do I reverse this?

Paragraphs help the reader, just saying.
What are you actually trying to do? Why do you need "DVD size" folders if you're creatng an Archive on an external hard drive?
Also, I understand burning folders instead of individual photos or albums gives you more space on a DVD.
It makes no difference at all.
How can I keep the captions on my photos (not events) when I print or transfer to a new folder?
You can export while writing the metadata to the file in most cases.
Tne only way I know is to copy photos from the Windows to folders on my HD, then copy and paste photos or albums or events to HD, then create a new folder and fill it to the appropriate DVD size.
HD? Another HD? You use HD there in a way that makes no sense. What's the point of 'DVD size'?
I also thought I should download future photos to my Canon programming that comes with EOS cameras and edit and then decide which photos to save to iPhoto library and which to save only to my archival HD?
Does this have any relation to the previous questions? You know you can delete from iPhoto, right?
You're somewhat confused and you need to
1. Decide what exactly you want to do
2. Then go about it.
If I understand you correctly - and there's no guarantee that I do - the easiest thing is to bring all your Photos into iPhoto and do everything from there.
You can have an archive on an external disk, you can sort and select and edit with or via iPhoto

Setting up new computer, eliminating Parallels and VM

My late 2007 MacBook pro (OS X 10.5.8) has a virtual WIndows XP machine using Parallels. It came with iLife software and is backed up to an external hard drive using Time Machine. It’s losing some functionality (optical drive, keyboard) so I bought a new-to-me Macbook pro (mid-2009 model, with OS X 10.8.2) which has additional software I would like to keep. I’ve decided that I don’t need XP on the new MacBook Pro, so want to eliminate that when data is transferred.
If I use Time Machine to set up the new computer, I suspect that it will automatically partition the hard drive and give me Parallels and XP. I also suspect that it will write over everything on the new machine and I’ll lose access to the new software programs (Word for Windows, etc.) that came with it.
So... How do I retain all the new software that came with the 2009 MacBook Pro, while transferring everything EXCEPT Parallels and XP from the 2007 MacBook Pro - including iLife which came installed on the 2007 MacBook Pro?

Thanks for clarifying about partitions, and Parallels as a disc image. Very helpful. Uninstalling Parallels should do the trick.
If I migrate the old machine to the new one, that should bring my iLife along. But will it replace the OS X 10.8.2 with the older OS X 10.5.8? Will it eliminate the new software currently on the new machine?
Alternatively, could I "migrate" and merge the TM contents of two different hard drives onto the new machine? One thought I have is to buy a new, larger HDD, install it in the new machine. Then migrate elements from each of the old hard drives: From the new machine migrate OS X 10.8.2 and the new software, and from the old machine migrate the iLife software and all my files, email, etc. Is that possible? If so, how to do partial migrations?

Just transferred data to iMac from working Mac Pro that is using Parallels and Windows 7 and the Biblesoft 5 and it will not open on the iMac the only change is the my new iPhone number is OS. Any ideas?

Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant do not restore MS Windows, it only does the OS X partition. All of your Windows stuff must be backed up and restore using a MS Windows application. If no one on this forum is able to answer your question then I'd repost it on a Parallels forum to see how other Windows users approach this.

Leopard, Parallels and Games

Anybody here running any games by using Parallels? Like COD4? I am so sick and tired of having to reboot into Bootcamp to play games. I wish Mac and game companies could just get along and release the same games on Mac that are on PC....ARGH!!!

Hi,
since Parallels and Fusion have only support for DirectX 8 and experimental support for DX9 at the moment, you don't have another possibility than using BootCamp.
Maybe we see improved gaming capabilities with Parallels and Fusion in the (not so far) future.

Resolve trouble between Parallels and Windows under Boot Camp

After seeing several threads relating to this issue, I decided to make this it's own thread instead of trying to reply to each. hopkinsvscloudlivestream.blogspot.com/2013/03/watch-hopkins-vs-cloud-live-stream-2013.html This article NOW resolves all issues pertaining to using Windows under Boot Camp through Parallels, INCLUDING activation. Hopefully Parallels will be able to integrate these fixes into a future release.
Before doing anything, I would recommend preparing your existing Windows installation under Boot Camp, for Parallels, before trying to access it through Parallels. If you have already installed Parallels and now have problems, don't worry, this article should address and resolve these issues as well.
Something to know upfront: using your existing Boot Camp installation with Parallels will most likely require you to activate your Windows installation a second time. The reasons for this are addressed in Section 4 of this article.
Section 1: Preparing your Boot Camp Installation for Parallels
(If you already tried to access your Boot Camp installation through Parallels, and can no longer get into Windows through Boot Camp or Parallels, please skip this step and come back to it after you have completed Section 2.)

Personally, I think the software fix is a band-aid for a larger hardware problem, probably involving the power management circuitry. I think the reason Photo Booth and QuietMBP and Windows XP all work to silence the noise is because they draw more power by using more CPU, and it's the extra power draw that kills the noise. Nothing scientific, mind you, just a hunch.
What if your speakers made an annoying hum that went away whenever you started playing music through them in iTunes? Would you still think it's a software problem? I think it's a similar situation here - where software can cover up the issue but not really fix it...

Windows 7 OEM parallels and Bootcamp, installation sequence?

So ive got a 2013 macbook air and planning on using the OEM licence to firstly create a bootcamp partition, and the having parallels run off the bootcamp partition. Now I understand I might have to go through the whole phone activation the second time. My question is ...what sequence should I use to activate.Should I activate parallels first after the installation of parallel tools or can I just activate bootcamp first????

Karim.Foad wrote:
Ok wow that's cleared a lot up ....I've been researching this for the last few days , and getting mixed views with some saying windows will count the virtual machine as a separate computer and they have all sorts if activation problems .But for the second activation , in parallels , the long digit phone activation should be sufficient ?? Because I really don't look forward to explaining everything to a Microsoft Representative
Over the phon haha!
This is why I originally suggested that you read the activation directions on the Parallels and Fusion sites. They address the issue of Windows thinking that the VM installation is a second installation of Windows when in fact it is not. This is because you are not installing Windows in Parallels you are only pointing to your single Bootcamp installation of Windows. This is an issue that has been addressed by the VM manufacturers.

I have an iMac which I had loaded Parallels and Windows 7. I recently uninstalled both programs. How can I delete all related files? Is there a program that will find related files and delete them?

I have an iMac on which I had installed Parallels and Windows 7 so I could some of the creativity software I was used to. I recently uninstalled both Parallels and Windows. How can I clean up my hard drive by making sure stray files from those programs have all been deleted?

If you followed these steps to uninstall Parallels (you simply drag Parallels to the Trash), that's all. Parallels is a quite clean application that does not create a lot of files in different folders.
However, you may still have the virtual machines you created in Documents folder. If you want to remove them, open a Finder window, select Documents in the sidebar and remove the Parallels folder

BPF configuration: parallel and dependent steps

Hi all,
I have a BPF of let say 5 steps regarding 5 input form.
step 1 is the main step and inputted by budget team.It is the rates input form.
step 2 is the sales volume step and depend on step 1 (like other steps) inputted by sales team.
step 3 is the sales discount step and depend on step 1 -2 inputted by budget team.
step 4 is the cost step depend on step 1-2 and can be performed regardless of step 3 and inputted by finance team.
step 5 is the distribution of costs to sales cube to see the profitableness and depend on step 1-2-4 .
As you see there are both parallel and related steps.Of course there are many other steps but they are similar so I summarized them as 5 steps.
Note that sales cube consists of sales group and cost cube consists of cost center( candidates for drive dimension)
Let me depict the scheme for that:
I could not achieve this by creating steps of openning criteria as "matched " or creating more than 1 template and instance. I want to know whether it is possible or there is a workaround.

I am joking Güneş Of course I have an idea. First of all, i have some question about your modelling.
If you will make these activities in same model, it is possible.
1- all or matched it does not matter
2- matched
4- matched
5 - all
3 - matched
i hope, it will work.
Good luck bro

Uninstalling Parallels and Windows XP!??! help please!

ok so i want to uninstall parallels and also windows XP. so my question is do i just drag and drop Parallels into the trash and that will uninstall it or are there some steps i should be doing first please help!!

Drag the parallels icon in the application folder to the trash to get rid of the app and also delete the parallels folder under /Users/<your user name>/Library/. This is the default location where the disk images are stored when you created them.

Inbound Queue blocked: Parallel and alternative sequences are not supported

Hi,
Just now, I checked the Inbound Queue in SCM system through SMQ2 and found which was blocked by error message "Parallel and alternative sequences are not supported". Could you please tell me what does it mean? How to fix it?
Thanks,
Quanyin Su

Hi Quanyin Su,
Parallel and Alternative sequences are used in routing.
I believe you are trying to CIF PPM/PDS from ECC to APO and you are getting this queue stuck at inbound of APO.
Both the alternative and parallel sequences are supported in APO.
Alternative sequence is used as alternative modes in APO.
I can think of this as a master data issue.
At least one of your work center used in either of the sequences is not available in APO or is not APO relevant.
Could you please check your master data such as all the work centers used and make sure your parallel and alternative sequences are consistent.
Once you made sure that master is available in ECC, you can CIF it to APO by using CURTO_CREATE transaction in ECC.
Please see below link for Routing and its usage in APO:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_apo/helpdata/en/99/ed3a981d0f11d5b3fc0050dadf0791/content.htm
You also need to activate a BADI in order to sent alternative sequences to APO.
Below thread has all the details regarding this.
