Read CDs with Virtual Machine with Parallels

I use a programm that runs with Windows and uses CD. Although I could, now -probably since I updated to Montain Lion- I can't open it from Windows, and I've followed every single step in Parallels' Help. The CD is shown in Finder but not in Windows' My PC. It seems as something in Mac (I'm absolutely new with Mac) is avoiding that it can be seen from the Virtual Machine of Parallels. Tks!

Ok, I've gone back to checking the "user browser default" settings for the proxy address and port, and it now brings up the NTLM authentication windows asking for my credentials. When I put these in, the applets load perfectly in the browser.
At this point I'd have to assume it is an authentication issue with Java VM 1.4.2 not being able to supply ISA's web proxy with the user's credentials?
I am going to try adding basic authentication to the proxy server as a fallback to the integrated authentication and see if this helps, I'll keep you posted....

Why can't snow leopard be run as virtual machine in Parallels?

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me why Apple's EULA won't allow Snow Leopard to be run as a virtual machine in Parallels? I am using OS X Mavericks and the latest version of Parallels 8. According to Parallels, in support article ID 112323, the reason it will not work is that it is prohibited to run by Apple's EULA.

It was a common Urban Myth that the Snow Leopard EULA prohibited its virtualization in Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks on a Mac. That myth has been debunked over the last few years and the remaining debate, if any, has been largely rendered moot by Apple's decision to reduce the price of Snow Leopard Server by 95% to the same $20 charged for Snow Leopard client.
Eric's link will get you to an article that describes how to install Snow Leopard client into Parallels 8, but at the end of the day, it is easier to both install and maintain Snow Leopard Server into Parallels 8, with virtually the same result you desire: the ability to run most PowerPC apps in Mavericks.

Yes, I have experience using Snow Leopard Server in Parallels to run PowerPC apps and I remove the Server apps from the Dock, so as to not be confused by them.
What PowerPC apps do you wish to continue to run?

Since upgrading to Lion USB devices no longer connect to my virtual machine in parallels despite my parallels settings.

Since upgrading to Lion USB devices no longer connect to my virtual machine in parallels despite my parallels settings. As a result all usb devices show as networked drives from the mac. Therefore cannor access encrypted part of drive. Any ideas???

I actually have the same problem, since I upgraded to Mavericks my MacBook Pro can't seem to find the Bose sounddock 10. Has anyone found a solution to this.
It still works with the iPhone 5
Thank you

Adobe Application Mgr will not install on virtual machine. (Parallels Win7 on a MacPro)

Greetings,
I am unable to install the Adobe Application Manager. I get the following error message:
"This application cannot be run from a network drive. Please copy it to a local folder and re-launch it."
I have tried copying it to several local folders but it will not work. I can't install any of my cloud aps because of this!!
I have searched the Parallels site and found no issues on their end.
How do I fix this?
Details:
I am trying to install it on a virtual machine made with Parallels 8.
The virtual machine is Windows 7, home edition.
The real machine is a new Mac Pro, running OS X 10.8.3.

How do i install reader in a Virtual Machine

I am a developer and need to install reader in an XP virtual machine running upon my Windows 7 desktop
I need to test out acrobat and IE 8
It gets to 34% downloaded and then fails.
In the xp machine i have turned off the firewall and removed the anti virus software
In the windows 7 machine i have turned off the firewall and turned off the anti virus software
Any other suggestions?

Download it on the host machine from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/, then copy it into VM. Or run it in VM directly from the host folder.

Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 can't connect to IIS Express 7.5 on Windows 7 Virtual Machine Using Parallels 6.0

Here is what I am using:
MacBook Pro - Version 10.7.5 with 128 GB SSD
Parallels 6.0
Windows 7 Home Premium
Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate
IIS Express 7.5 download that changed it to IIS Express 8.0
I also have WebMatrix but I am not planning on using it.
I am a novice when it comes to development and these technologies so I am sure that has some impact on my issues.
I have spent a lot of time looking between the various forums to find a solution and they all seem to offer parts but not an entire and workable solution to solve the two errors that I receive when starting a new project and/or web site:
1-
Configuring IIS Express Failed with the following error:
Filename: redirection.config
Error: Cannot read configuration file
2-
Unspecified Error Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL))
Based on the research I believe it has something to do where the IIS Express files are located on the Mac side of the computer. I have tried to map them back to the Windows machine but I still get the same errors.
I understand it should be looking in the documents folder on the C Driver for the user, which is Administrator. I have tried to redirect, open the port, change the Firewall settings to no avail. I believe it is something very simple
but I am not seeing it. I did turn on the Windows Features for IIS and removed the read only check box for the IIS Folder.
I have looked at the binding and port settings but cannot figure out how to make changes there. I think I need to remove local host and replace it with my computer name. I did try this but it didn't work. Here are the defaults:
Please let me know what you think and share a possible solution. Remember that I am a novice and some things will go over my head so the more detail the better.
I am happy to not use IIS Express and just use IIS because the volume of development is low. I am also open to using VS directly onto Azure and bypassing IIS if that is the best solution. I say this because I saw some posts that state there isn't
a workaround.
Thanks for taking the time to assist.

Hello jats1910,
Your problem may more related to IIS setting and configuration. But this forum is about Visual Studio Setup and Installation. If your Visual Studio installed without problem on your OS, then you may need to consult this issue on IIS forum.

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.

Can I use iTunes in my Mac and also on my virtual machine in Parallels?

I have iTunes in the Mac and am totally happy with it. However, my library allows downloading of books, and some of them are only available in wma format. I have Windows XP in Parallels 5, and was able to download a book successfully in Parallels, using the software provided by the library. However, when I put my iPod in to try to transfer the files to it, iTunes in the Mac kept opening, and the software in Windows said it couldn't find the iPod. I tried designating the USB port for Parallels, but that didn't help. My iPod happens to be formatted for PC, so I think that wouldn't be the problem. So, my only way to get this book out of Windows would be to burn it onto 30 CDs.
My question is, is it possible to do what I'm trying to do--if so, do I need to open an iTunes account in Windows, and would it have to be a different account, or is it not possible to have two accounts in the same computer? If it's not possible I'll just give up on this idea and stick with mp3 formatted books, but if it is possible, could someone tell me how to do it? Thanks for any help you can provide. Barbara

Thanks, but please explain. I can't download wma files into Overdrive Media for the Mac, and had to install another version inside Parallels, and that's where the downloaded files are. How could I get those files into the Overdrive software on the Mac? Thanks, Barbara

Lion 10.7.4 issues with Virtual Machines

Hi,
I'm having lot of issues with virtual machines (both Parallels and VMWare)
since having update to lion 10.7.4.
I make myself:
If I switch on Mac OS a run any vitrual machine software
I can run Windows XP and Ubuntu at same time with no issue and very fluently.
But, if I switch on Mac OS and start using Eclipse, Safari 5.2 and other production stuff and
want to use vmware or paralles
they become unusable even if I quit all the tasks ans "purge" memory.
(eg: if i click start button on windows I have to wait seconds before the start menu pops up)
Any Idea?
I have MacBook Pro 13 Unibody mid 2009 with SSD Drive AND 4GB of RAM
and I had no such issues with Lion 10.7.3

As you wrote before, virtual mchines need big chunks of contigous RAM and

No, it wouldn't. 2.5 GB of free RAM could consist of 5 chunks of 500 MB of contiguous RAM, separated by RAM allocated by other processes.
Here is a hypothetical memory map. Assume a is application memory, o is operating system memory, and - is free memory.
boot:           oooo--------------
run app1:    ooooaao-----------
run app2:    ooooaaoaaaaaaoo---quit app1:   oooo---aaaaaaoo---
Maybe there is some issue in the way 10.7.4, in some perticolar situations, handle the process of freeing RAM.
What you can't accept, and I don't know why, is that before the update to 10.7.4 everithing was fine.
I don't know why you don't beleve me.
There is nothing in the 10.7.4 update description that mentions a re-write of the virtual memory system. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5167
I just worte here to see if someone could give any advice to do further invesigations.
I know the price of upgrading RAM but I think that this would be a "microsoft like" solution
and I'm trying to find what service or task or whatever is creating this issue.
The only thing "Microsoft like" about buying more RAM is the fact that you need it to run your Microsoft operating systems. It has been this way as long as I can remember. I upgraded my MacBook to 4 GB RAM in 2008 just so I could run Windows more easily.
Perhaps you have your virtual memory settings too high. Depending on what you are doing in the VM, you may not need the default settings. XP will run low-intensity tasks with a 500 MB VM size. It will run just about anything in 1 GB. Linux should run fine in the same range too.

Moving boot camp to new machine with Parallels 10 or WinClone?

i seem to have a ton of document here but have not been able to figure a way out of my dilemma.
i have a 2006 mac pro that had two boot camp installs with one of windows 7 and one of XP. each of these are still intact on my hard drives in this computer. however, i can not see this computer on my display as there appears to be some issue with the converter that i am using for my cinema display mini display port (to get it to DVI display port on the 2006) so i cannot really DO anything with these installations other than see them when i put the disk in my new 2012.
Parallels 10 appears to have a new "boot camp" mode and i am trying to figure out if there is a way to get the boot camp installs into my 2012 as "virtual boot camp" installations. i just put one of the 2006 disks into the 2012 machine and tried this and Parallels seems to have accepted this but i am not sure if i somehow need to leave the physical boot camp install in this bay 4 or if i can just pull the disk and now i have a "virtual boot camp" install of windows 7.
ALSO, i DO have WinClone backups of both of these boot camp installations on the new machine but i believe i am supposed to run CHKDSK and Sysprep on the actual boot camp installs before trying to migrate them over to the new machine and since i cannot see anything in the old machine i can't try this. actually, i did try it back when i could see the 2006 but there was some error with the Sysprep and the thread proposing solutions was like 26 pages long.
anyway, anyone done this and have any suggestions?
THANKS

A. when you say you can boot from corresponding installation media - you are talking about my Windows 7 and Windows XP install disks?
When you installed XP or W7, you would have used either an Install DVD or a USB, or both. This is what you would need. You can recreate the USB using Bootcamp Assistant, if necessary. The only caveat would be if you subsequently upgraded to later Service Packs, and the installer was built earlier than that.
B. when you say "if your windows is already bootable" you are saying that i could put the disk in the new machine, set preferences to BOOT from the Boot Camp installation on the other disk and run the Safe Mode on this boot camp install and then manually remove drivers? also presumably i can compare the 2006 machine to the 2012 machine and see which drivers i don't have to remove? also, i am guessing here that i can try either of these (boot from media or boot into safe mode in the boot camp) despite the fact that yosemite does not support XP boot camp?
It is possible that Windows may not boot at all, due to hardware changes and driver differences. Safe Mode is a minimal driver load boot. It should be bootable. If you end with a completely un-bootable system after you move disks, then Windows Startup Repair may be necessary first. You may also need to run chkdsk. I would also recommend uninstalling any third-party NTFS software. Once Windows is fully installed, there is no interaction with Yosemite, and a minimal interaction with firmware and Apple Bootmanager which recognizes a NTFS system.
C. can you help me with the terminology here? you ask if any of my "W7/WXP" disks have a version of OS X co-resident". at one point i had what i understood to be JUST an XP install on my 2006 machine on a hard drive which i still have. i don't know if this was installed "under" some OS but as far as i know i /just/ had a boot camp installation of XP on this disk. is this possible? if so, what do i call it? ALSO, i /now/ have basically two disks with one containing a PARTITION of Snow Leopord or Mountain Lion and a PARTITION of Windows XP Boot Camp. then the /second/ disk contains a CLONE of the OS X install and a PARTITION of Windows 7 Boot Camp. Do you know what i call these?! are either of them what you consider "co-resident"? i guess i don't exactly understand the types of boot camps i can have (ignoring virtual machines).
If the disk was formatted as an MBR disk and was fully dedicated to Windows, it will not have OS X. In some cases, a single physical disk can be partitioned to host both OSes. If the OS X part was on a separate physical disk, this is what is usually is done on a MacPro with multiple disks.
D. can i /PLEASE/ ask you to help me understand the types of virtual machines i can create on the 2012 with Parallels 10? right now i just hooked up a Windows 7 virtual machine from Parallels 7. so this is a "true virtual machine". but i can somehow also now create a "boot camp virtual machine" where i can EITHER boot into the boot camp or into the virtual machine? i mean, i guess what we are discussing is a way to CLEAN the Windows 7 BOOT CAMP INSTALLATION on my 2006 by putting the hard drive into the 2012 and to then - well i guess i then create a WinClone of the Boot Camp install and i run the WinClone MIGRATION procedure to get this boot camp on the 2012? /then/ i run parallels and hook up this Boot Camp install in the new machine?
Usually, BC installations can be imported as virtual machines. You can also install a VM using a virtual disk, which, to OS X, appears like a set of system files. You can as a test import the 2006 disk clone as a VM and test. The VM engines impose their own BIOS engine and can have their own drivers in such a VM. For example, they will emulate SCSI to access the underlying virtual or physical disk. They may also provide their own file system drivers. For example, VMware Fusion can provide HGFS to share files between OS X and Windows. Your approach should work, but I have never tested Winclone with the VM layer in the middle. You should ask Wincloen support if they support VM as an in-between layer or not. I do not think so.
E. can you remind me why i can't get a XP Boot Camp on the 2012 machine? was this due to the 2012 mac pro or was it yosemite or both i guess? i mean, for XP i am presumably going to run the TRANSFER procedure on the XP install /after/ putting the hard drive with XP boot camp from the 2006 into my 2012 and then i am going to run this VIRTUAL MACHINE FROM BOOT CAMP operation (link below)? if so, we are saying i can run this from the 2012 and then can i remove the XP Boot Camp drive from the 2012 and still have the virtual machine i guess? in this case i SHOULD ALSO run the XP through the procedure you explain? so in this case i will only have a virtualized XP Boot Camp install and with Windows 7 i will have both the BOOT CAMP install (which i presumably migrated to my OS X hard drive!) and i will be able to virtually boot to this boot camp install using Parallels 10?
Apple deprecated XP support as they moved to BC version 5.x. A new XP installation is not possible, but an existing XP installation will continue to work across OS X version upgrades. This is a 'physical' machine from 2006 MP. Once you install BC drivers on the XP installation to work with 2012, you will need to reverse the migration procedure (uninstall drivers for 2012MP, install 2006 MP drivers). It is a very unusual direction to want to go back to 2006 MP, but it is still a method if the 2012 MP hardware failed, and you wanted to go back to a working 2006 MP. You should check if Parallels 10 supports XP.
F. i guess if i want to make sure to retain a true boot camp install of the Windows XP install i have to repair the 2006 machine is that right?
http://kb.parallels.com/en/113658
Not necessarily. If you can migrate (simulating a SysPrep) to the 2012 MP machine, you do not need to resurrect the 2006 MP.

Problem With Parallels Reading From Disk Drive

When I am using the Windows 7 virtual machine on Parallels, I can't read from the built-in CD-DVD player.
I'm trying to install MS Office 2010. When I insert the disk, it begins spinning and sounds like it's trying to read it but after a while it stops without anything coming up. I already have checked the devices menu and tried the "Default CD/DVD" choice and the "OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H" choice from the "CD/DVD 1" menu. Neither of them work. When I tried the "OPTIARC" one, the cursor flickered to the reading-from-disk sprite for a split second.
Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Installing Bootcamp with Parallels installed

Hey guys.
I need to install Bootcamp to run Rhinoceros and Grasshopper with full graphics support. It isn't a good idea to run these programs only on parallels. However, I am told that I need to install Bootcamp BEFORE parallels if I want them to share the same Windows copy. I already have parallels installed, along with Revit and the full Microsoft Office suite. I don't want to delete all of my installed programs to install windows onto Bootcamp. Is there anyway to salvage this without having to dig up old codes and trying to get all my software back?
My end-goal is to be able to work in Bootcamp for serious CAD and drafting software, whilst still maintaining the capability of opening these same files for viewing and light edting in Parallels while running Mac. I would be using Bootcamp ONLY for Rhinoceros Grasshopper and Revit. Excel PPT word and other microsoft applications would be run exclusively through parallels.
Thank you for your views and responses
- Thomas

without knowing anything about parallels and feeling that the parallels forum would likely be a safer place to confirm your questions then
I would think that they mean that you just have to have installed bootcamp before creating the virtual machine in parallels which is to access the windows partition not wait with installing the virtual machine software(parallels) itself
but as stated parallels is about the only virtual machine software I have no experience with at all

Does OS installed through boot camp or in virtual machine has access and full control of the peripherals like native OS X Lion?

I am planning to buy new PC for my faculty needs and this time I am thinking to buy Apple laptop like Mac book Pro 13" or so ( I owe already IPhone and Ipad 2)
To make final decision I need few information . These are:
1. May I use Boot Camp or similar utility software to install Windows 7 OS next to OS X Lion, or use some kind of virtual box software to create virtual machines with diverse guest OS in them like Windows , Linux etc.?
2. Does OS installed through Boot camp or in virtual machine has access and full control of the peripherals like native OS X Lion?
3. May I use the same disk partitions to access to the files regardless if I am using Windows 7 or OS X Lion operating system?
4. Is there full compatibility between Microsoft Office under OS X Lion and Windows 7 M. Office?
5. What is general user experience with OS X Lion operating system comparing to Windows 7?
Thanks for sharing your experience with me.

1. Yes. You can install Windows 7 natively using Boot Camp Assistant or you can install Windows 7 in a virtual machine using Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox
2. If installed using Boot Camp Assistant Windows 7 uses all your computer's resources just as OSx does. If installed using a VM Windows 7 will share the computer's resources with OSx.
3. A Boot Camp partition is separate from the OSx partition. The VMs allow sharing of files across partitions since both OS are running at the same time.
4. No, not 100%.
5. Too broad a question. Be specific about what feature you are asking about or search the Internet for comparisons. I use both and find they both work well.

Itunes stopped reading cds

itunes used to read cds with no problems and was also able to import music off of them. Now for whatever reason itunes stopped reading cds whenever I load them into the disc drive. I have to close the itunes window , pop in the cd into the disc drive, wait for itunes to automatically open and then I can see the contents of the cd. How do I fix it and moreover why did it start behaving in this manner?

Just recently my iTunes stopped reading blank cds, I put a blank cd in the drive and go to the playlist that I want to burn and click burn and then it says please insert a blank cd and spits it out.
Hi bigL1324,
I had this problem as well. Open the playlist first, Then insert a blank CD...it worked for me
