Parallels desktop 7 running WI7 can't recognize my AMD Radeon HD 6970M?

Hello, Apple Support!
Thank you for beeing here, and I hope you can solve my problem explained below.
I've got Parallels desktop 7 installed on my intel based iMac 27", where I have Windows 7 installed.
Today I bought Hitman: Absolution and intstalled it without any problem on my Parallel desktop with Windows 7.
When I tried to run it, a pop up came up with the infomation about direct X 10 missing and no graphic card detected.
When I later on serach the internet for a solution I found that you could install the AMD Mobilty Drivers, but here with no success.
Why can't Parallels Desktop 7 with Windows 7 installed recognize my AMD Radeon HD 6970M.
Thank you in advance.

LOL for starters you should not be posting this issue here but rather on the Parallels forum.
And you may find that Parallels 7 is not DX10 compatible.
Look here it works with version 8 apparently

Windows 7 can't recognize my AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB graphics card

Hey community -
I am having issues running Star Wars the Old Republic on my brand new iMac desktop with Windows 7 installed. I am getting an error message that is associated with the fact that WINDOWS 7 will NOT recognize my AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB graphics card. Under the displays/drivers it's showing up as standard VGA graphics, which won't cut it.
I was recently having an issue missing drivers for my network card, which I fixed by going back through bootcamp and using a startup disk with all the drivers I needed.
HOW do I get Windows 7 to pickup/detect my Radeon? Help!
-Monty

You can install the AMD HD RADION Mobile drivers which work from.
If your Graphics card number ends in M
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx#2
This also depends on if you installed 32bit windows or 64 bit. you will need the 32bit drivers if installed 32 bit windows.
Download the full package under individual downloads.
But before you install the amd drivers you may need to install the boot camp drivers again, which include the motherboard drivers, sound, usb, etc etc etc.

Can I change my AMD Radeon HD 7670m Graphics card to Nvidia GTX 980m

Can I change my AMD Radeon HD 7670m Graphics card to Nvidia GTX 980m

Welcome to Apple Communities
Apple releases updates, and you have to wait because Apple creates the graphics drivers. You need to check updates to know that you have the most recent version

Can't Update my AMD Radeon HD 7690M XT to the latest update

i have HP Pavilion DV6 Notebook PC with Windows 7 64bit
when i update the GUI (AMD Radeon HD 7690M XT) to the last update with {14-4-mobility-win7-win8-win8.1-64-dd-ccc-whql} from vr. (8.882.2.3000) to vr. (14.100.0.0) the catalyst colapsed and the display adaptor displayes only 2 resluotion (800x600) and (1024x768)
and some time with the orginal driver when i restore the win a message appers (amd display adaptor has sttoped working and worked again) and this happens randomly when i play high graphic games or when i brows the internet so plz help of the 2 issue

Hi.
Now you'll want to recovery the oringinal drivers shipped with your Notebook. You can do this with the HP Recovery Manager: Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7).
After that you may update to the newest that HP provides: HP Pavilion dv6-6c50se Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers. I do recommend updating both the Intel driver and the AMD driver (in that order).
Outside of that, if you're still having issues you "could" try the OEM drivers again, however this isn't recommended as they are not tested with your Notebook. If you do want to attempt this again, I would suggest updating the Intel driver first, then the AMD driver.
Let me know if this was able to help you.
Thanks for your replies.
I worked on behalf of HP.

How to install Mavericks virtual machine in Parallels Desktop 10

Can somebody point me in the direction on how to create a Mavericks VM in Parallels Desktop 10 running on Yosemite? I've upgraded to Yosemite with the thought that Bento would work just fine (based on a small amount of research) until I can get fully migrated off it. Upon firing up Yosemite, Bento is unresponsive. I know Bento is dead, but I still have data I need to reference for another month or two. Setting up a VM of a known OS that works seems like it'd be a quick fix...

Hi Király,
I can't find a copy of the Yosemite SLA on the Apple site using Search functions in the Support section of that site. I tried all sorts of things including just a general "Software Licensing Agreement". Got a list of sorts, not including Yosemite. Do you have a URL?
It's here: OS X (Yosemite)
The link can be found here: http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/
The SLA that applies in the OP's case, though, is the Mavericks SLA, since that's what he wants to install in a VM.
I don't want to confirm your comment re VMs, though, as an aside, I'd point out that Apple "invited" me to upgrade after I correctly made a Mavericks VM while running Mavericks. I do want to read what the ruling would be on having Yosemite on an external bootable drive, given my internal drive boots Mavericks.
There are no licensing restrictions against having different versions of OS X on external bootable drives. That's fine. It's running OS X in VMs that is restricted. "The Apple Software" as defined by the Mavericks license, can be run in a VM, as long as the Mac computer that is running it is "already running the Apple software."
If Apple had allowed 10.9 to be run inside a VM with a different OS X version as the host, the license would have said this:
(iii) to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control that is already running the Apple Software, for purposes of: (a) software development; (b) testing during software development; (c) using OS X Server; or (d) personal, non-commercial use.
But that's not what it says, of course.

Parallels Desktop Question

I just recently bought a 27" iMac running Lion. Would like to run Parallels Desktop 7 so I can use some of my costly windows based software (autocad, photoshop, etc). I have Windows XP for a Dell XPS 410. Can I use that for my Windows OS? Not sure if I want to shell out a lot of money to find out that it will not work satisfactorily.

You will need to get that straightened out. You can run XP if you want assuming of course that you have a license of XP to install. One benefit of using Parallels (or VMWare Fusion) is they still support XP, Vista & Win 7 so it gives you some flexibility. Of course there are trade offs, first is if you are doing 3D renderings in AutoCAD the performance won't be as great as running on a PC or running in Boot Camp. Next is depending on how much RAM your iMac has it may need a RAM upgrade. The good news is RAM is very inexpensive, just don't buy it (assuming you need it) from Apple. Buy it from a reputable vendor such as www.macsales.com (OWC) or Crucial.
Best of luck.

If i upgrade to lion i have to reinstall parallels desktop?

If i upgrade to lion i have to reinstall parallels desktop?

on Parallels Desktop 6 I believe you just google for Parallels Desktop Launcher, run the PD6 Launcher Script, and you'll be good to go!!! goodluck, I'm currently doing it on 3 new Macbook Pro and 1 iMac it works with Snow Leopard, after Lion update it giving unable to load driver, with the new launcher script fixxed the problem!
Dear Edward,
same here, no computer genius :-) I have downloaded the launcher from here:
http://art-domains.de/downloads/Launcher.zip
It is a ZIP file containing the launcher and a script. I just double clicked the launcher and then Parallels 5 started. It seems to work as normal, but to be honest I only need it for one single windows app, so I don't know if there are not some hidden bugs – I heard the Parallels Team won't bring an official patch, and there must be a reason for that. However, for me it's good enough.
When I restart my Mac (which I don't do often) and uncheck the "keep the windows open"-box (new in Lion), then I have to start Parallels 5 with the launcher again. But normally, I only used the launcher only once, and everything was like before under Snow Leopard (it's not a big trouble clicking the launcher to start Parallels anyway...)

Boot Camp won't recognize my AMD 6970m Video Card

Hello!
About a week ago, I received my brand-new 27" iMac, which came with Boot Camp installed and executed via VMWare. Its main system specifications are:
- Intel i5 Quad Core @3.10 Ghz (performance rated at 9.30 Ghz)
- 4GB RAM
- AMD Radeon HD 6970m 1GB
As expected, OS X compatible games such as Starcraft II, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Sims 3 and Amnesia: The Dark Descent ran perfectly smooth on my machine, at maximum settings for the most part. Although, most of my games are not compatible with Mac, so I went into Boot Camp and installed Battlefield: Bad Company 2, but it crashed at match startup. I thought it was a driver problem, so I downloaded them. Thing is, when I tried to install them, it said that "no compatible hadware was found", and installation was aborted. Then, I ran a system analysis on both my Mac and Boot Camp (it runs a Windows 7 64-bit version). The results were the same, except for the graphics card:
- On Mac, everything was fine.
- But, on Windows, it said that my graphics card was "VMWare Virtual SVGA Graphics Adapter 256MB".
Then I thought it was a problem related with VMWare, so I installed Parallels and ran Boot Camp through it. Same problem, except for the fact that games, instead of crashing, ran horribly (for my system settings, at least); and a system analysis showed that I had "Parallels Display Adapter (WDDM) 512MB" for a video card.
Now, I would really appreciate if someone could help me, because I do not know what to do, and this problem is starting to annoy me... Please, I need help! I still have my OS X installation disk, if it helps.
Thanks beforehand.

You might have luck cross posting in the Boot Camp forum, this is a general iMac forum where most only know OS X. The Boot Camp guy's may know how to direct you.

Can 2 gb ram on 2.4GHz run windows 7 using parallell desktop

If I buy the new 13 inches 2.4GHz with 2GB RAM, is it enough to run Windows seven using Parallel Desktop or should I have 4GB of RAM?
Thank you

When running a virtual machine such as Parallel you'd be better off running as much memory in the Book that you can afford. 4GB should be enough but 2GB you may find a little troublesome.
Also look into Sun's "Virual Box" it is a free VM. Not as many bells and whistles as Parallels but work very well.

Do you have Parallels Desktop 6? That is the version you need to have it run under Lion.

My Dell Vostro (running XP SP3) neither recognizes my iPad 2 nor my iPhone 4 correctly! I followed the troubleshooting guides and installed the latest iTunes. Both devices are recognised by my desktop PC running Vista using the exact same cable etc.

Hello all,
my Laptop (Dell Vostro - running XP SP3) neither recognizes my iPad 2 nor my iPhone 4!
Both devices are working correctly with my desktop PC running Vista with the same USB cable!
I followed trouble shooting guides, checked that the drivers are present, installed, removed and reinstalled the latest iTunes (in the correct order together with the other Apple software components) etc. but nothing works! The interesting thing is that when I plug the iPad or the iPhone in the laptop's usb-port for a second Windows correctly shows the devices either as iPad or iPhone in the "Device Manager" with an exclamation point !!! But then after a split second Windows allways switches the devices to Digital Camera and the correct iPad or iPhone disappears !!! => That is why I guess that this is a driver problem!
Does anybody have any idea what else I can try?
Is there a manual way to install the drivers for the iPad 2 or iPhone 4?
Many thanks for your ideas and suggestions
Edgar

Yes I know that (I always google first and ask later ). Too bad I find this out when it was too late. I was already on 4.3.

I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

All,
A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
So happy to be done w/this one!
Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

Will the new time capsule back up Windows on an iMac running Parallels Desktop?

Will the new time capsule back up Windows on an iMac running Parallels Desktop?

Windows home version MSBackup, cannot backup to network drives.
That was a little bonus from Bill for those who didn't fork out for Pro or Ultimate.
Like people with home versions would never need to backup to network drives.. oh no.. never!!
You need to mount the hard disk in windows for it to work.
It will help a lot if you load the airport utility for windows into your windows OS.
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1547
Open windows explorer and type the network address of the TC.
\\TCname.local (where TCname is the correct network name of the TC).
The TC should have all names that are windows compatible.. ie
Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule is just wrong. It is too long, it has spaces and it has apostrophe which is illegal.
A good name for the TC is TC
The default hard disk share name of data is fine. It should not be Time Capsule or anything again that is over long .. has spaces or is otherwise incompatible with windows.
A good name for the TC wifi is TCwifi
Then you can mount it \\TC
typing that directly into the address bar of windows explorer.
There are still issues with windows naturally and running in parallels I have no idea what other issues might come up.
Tell me if you have issues.. but you will need most likely to check the network.
Open a command window and ping the TC by name and by IP address. If IP address works just mount by IP.
\\10.0.1.1 for example .. and that is the default TC IP address when in router mode.
If you still cannot access the TC my recommendation is to use a USB drive and use that.. it is 10x easier and more reliable than mixing Mac and windows backups on the TC.

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.
