Problem with parallels desktop.....

hi. im not sure if this has been said or answered before but i have installed the trial version of parallels desktop for mac. i don't really know how to use it and i just really wanted to see what it does. unfortunately....i dont need it. but, now i have tried uninstalling it by dragging it to the trash and it said i dont have sufficient permissions or something like that. i did disk utility to try to correct permissions or what not.
how can i uninstall this program?? it is a 15 day trial....do i wait the 15 days for it it expire then try to remove it or try reinstalling the program??
thanks for the help in advance! : )
-mark-

If you'd like to skip the manual, just open the disk image that you downloaded (.dmg) and then run the uninstall program. If you deleted the dmg file, just download it again.
You should reboot once you uninstall it to remove the network adapter.

Wee Problem with Parallels Desktop and the Westmere Mac Pros

Just got my new Westmere 8-Core Mac Pro last Friday, and spent the last four days in agony.
I used Migration Assistant to transfer over my accounts from my old Mac Pro, but it crashed hard -- so hard that I had to reformat the hard drive and do a clean install of the system. So I decided to do a clean install of all of my programs as well, and the Westmere crashed on the Parallels Desktop installation. And, again, it crashed so hard that I had to reformat the hard drive and do a clean install of everything all over again.
Today, I read a review of the Westmere Mac Pros in Macworld (http://www.macworld.com/article/153704/2010/08/quad8_core_macpro_2010.html?lsrc=top2), and learned:
We ran into a problem running Parallels on the Westmere-based Mac Pros, so we could not complete the Speedmark 6 suite of tests. When booted into 64-bit mode (as the new Mac Pros do by default) the systems would crash with Parallels installed. Booting into 32-bit mode would allow the systems to start up, but we still couldn’t use Parallels. We eventually tried a complete wipe and reinstall from the Mac Pro’s systems disc and downloaded the very latest version of Parallels to eliminate any other potential problems, and had the same issue. Apple and Parallels are aware of the problem and assure me that Parallels is working diligently on a fix. The application worked just fine on the new quad-core Mac Pro with the Nehalem processor.
Hoped I saved somebody some time.

Hi akapod,
Looks like they may have the fix out.

Are there any known issues upgrading to 10.8.3 from 10.7.5 with Parallels Desktop already installed in 10.7.5?

Are there any known issues upgrading to 10.8.3 from 10.7.5 with Parallels Desktop already installed in 10.7.5?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Most of the applications compatible with Lion are also compatible with Mountain Lion, so you shouldn't have any problem. Mountain Lion supports the latest update for Parallels 7 and 8, so if you haven't got one of these versions, you should upgrade it before upgrading Mac OS X. That application uses extensions, so it may cause kernel panics

Will virtual XP mode work with Windows 7 installed with Parallels Desktop 5

I've just installed Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro with Parallels Desktop 5. I've installed the necessary software for virtual XP mode but can't get it to work.....like running a virtual mode within a virtual mode. Just wondering if anyone has been able to make this work. I've read it will work by installing Windows 7 through Bootcamp but it would be more convenient if I could get it to run through Parallels.
Here's what I have:
MacBook Pro 13"
2.56GHz processor
4G memory

I suggest you post your question on the Parallels forum, as it's their software you're having issues with and it is not related to Macs or any compatibility issues between Mac OS and Windows, which is the focus of this forum:

Graphic Upgrade Problem with K430 desktop - Unresolved!

Hi,
Xmas 2012 I purchased a Lenovo IdeaCentre K430 Desktop from PC world.
PC World said it would be upgradable if I need to upgrade it.
The system is:
Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
16.0 GB DDR3
1.8 TB Hardrive
Windows 8
Geforce GT 640
I recently purchased Crysis 3 and its not running very well, so I brought a Geforce GTX 660.
However when I installed and rebooted the PC, I was greated with a blank flashing screen?
other people have simular problems on the GeForce forums.
I have since took the card back PLUS 3 MORE for a refund, and very dissapointed that I can't upgrade this PC.
CAN SOMEONE AT LENOVO PLEASE REPLY WITH A LIST OF 'MODERN/LATEST GRAPHIC CARDS, THAT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THIS MODEL STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX?
CHANGING THE BIOS SETTINGS DOES NOT WORK FOR ME!
It's been almost 2 years and I've still not found a compatible card, so much for the Ultimate Upgradable PC!
Cheers.

The previous message thread you posted in has one recommendation of what worked in the K430. See the post #34 in this discussion.......

How to change 'always open with' file settings with parallels desktop 4?

Hi all.
here's my problem; parallels desktop 4 has hijacked file association on some of my file types and wont let me change them back to their mac equivilants
Accidentally clicking on one of these parallels associated apps causes the virtual machine to boot up, slowing my pc down dramatically and causing me grief.
Setting certain files to 'always open with' the equivilant mac app [eg. trying to get text documents to open with textedit as oppose to xp's notepad, hasn'thelped]
any suggestions ? - i am stumped
Thanks!

Delete Windows Applications folder in Virtual Machine folder (it's from Mac Side); disable Shared Applications from Configuration Editor.
---or---
...other permanent solution to try on Mac side
1 select a file in your finder (e.g. .doc)
2 press <cmd>
3 go to 'open with' option...
4 select the correct application (e.g. Microsoft Word)
5 click 'change all' - done...go try
When Microsoft Word is already selected, change that to another app, click 'change all', then set it back to Microsoft Word again and once more click 'change all'.
If still no joy, try strong language....

Mac Safari fights with Parallels Desktop

When I have Safari running, and then launch Windows via Parallels Desktop, everything slows to a crawl.
If I quit either Safari or Parallels Desktop, everything goes back to full speed.
It seems like some kind of degeneration. I had this problem a while back. I created a new user account on my Mac and started using that and voila, Safari and Parallels worked fine together again. But over time the problem has crept into my new account.
Has anybody seen this before? Any ideas?

I've got 4gb of RAM and only 1gb allocated to the VM.
However, while trying to solve another problem, this seems to have got fixed as well. I had a problem with Safari not displaying pages correctly, posted here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18388014#18388014
Anyway, my Parallels problem has gone away. Go figure.

Security with Parallels Desktop

If I install Windows using either Boot Camp or Parallels Desktop, can I rely on the Mac for security to the same extent as I could if I were running only OS X? Or should I install some sore of virus protection for the Windows OS?
Thanks

As a matter of fact, you can. If you are using Parallels with its default networking configuration, then your Mac is acting as a router for the PC. That alone will protect you from the most dangerous attacks. On the Mac or the PC, you will now only be vulnerable to "user-initiated" security problems. That means that if you use Internet Explorer on the PC, you can still get viruses and spyware. Use Firefox or, even better, Safari3 on the PC instead. If you are using Outlook on the PC, you are still vulnerable to viruses in e-mails. Use the Mac side to check your mail, if possible. And, of course, if you download and run any software from the Internet that you don't absolutely trust, you are taking a big risk. This applies to both platforms.
I've never used anti-virus on any Mac or any PC I've ever had. No problems other than a little bit of spyware on the PC from when I accidentally used IE. Use IE only for Windows Update. If you use IE, you will get at least one spyware installed for each web site you visit, on average.

Will there be any problems with Parallels Program if I upgrade to Maverick OS?

I have OS 10.7.5 on my intel iMac desktop and MacBook Air with Parallels 9.0.2 running Windows XP. Will there be any problems if I upgrade to Maverick OS? Do I have to do anything special because of the Parallels side when I upgrade?

You shouldn't have any issues, since Parallels v9 is the current version. You might want to visit the Parallels support forums to see if users there are aware of any issues. I know I upgraded my MBP from Mountain Lion to Mavericks and I had no issues with my Parallels v8. A short while after the update to Mavericks, I did upgrade my Parallels to v9, but I wasn't really having any problems on v8 either.

I am having a problem with IRM Desktop version 11.1.54.2 Midware 11.1.1.6.0

Hi everyone,
I am experiencing some serious and strange problems with our IRM desktop client which Works with Java SE 6.30 (JRE 6U30). When I installed them (java and IRM) on Windows 8 Professional, IRM stops print spooler service, and block our clients to print anyting, and add a new printer by clicking ADD PRINTER button under Devices and Printer section. This is the visible face of the issue. However, I believe it affects more than one service on Windows 8 Pro. we did not have any problem with Windows 7 pro, but have a lot of with Windows 8 pro. Does anyone have same / similar experience with the same platform? Thanks for all helps
