Upgrading to Lion will I have to reinstall Parallels

Will I have to reinstall all my programs -I am on the road and I need my Parallels- to upgrade to Lion?

You shouldn't need to however I would recommend that you check with Parallels on the web site to see you have a version that will run well on Lion. If you can hold off until you get back to your office I would strongly recommend that. if you are on the road you may not have an up-to-date backup and you ALWAYS want that whenever doing any OS X upgrades.

    if I upgrade to Lion do i have to reinstall my programs?

    Would Also Recommend that you do a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive Before attempting any Major Upgrade...
    By far the easiest way to make a Backup, is to use something like
    SuperDuper  http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
    or CCC  http://www.bombich.com/
    Also... For Lion... Check the Compatibility of Third Party Applications you may be using...

    No, but do make a complete backup of your system just in case.

  • Will I have to reinstall iDVD on Mountain Lion?

    I currently have Snow Leopard and iDVD from iLife 09. If I upgrade to Mountain Lion, will I have to reinstall iDVD manually? Do I use Time Machine to reinstall iDVD?
    And does iLife 11 come with ML?

    iLife 11 doesn't come with Mountain Lion.
    Maybe this will help. If you monitor the "More Like This" box, other solved threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.

    If you do decide to upgrade to Mountain Lion, make sure you do a backup first.

  • If I have already installed MS Office 2011 and have no more install license agreements and I install Lion will I have to purchase office again to reinstall?

    If I have MS Office 2011 with no more install license agreements and I upgrade to Lion will I have to purchase new install copies of Office?

    I didn't have to.  Office '11 kept on working with no problems after I installed Lion.

  • If I upgrade from 10.5.8 (Leopard) to 10.6.5 (Snow Leopard) will I have to reinstall all of my applications? Along with that, will it update all of my applications?

    You can upgrade 10.6 right over 10.5 with hardly any issues.
    You will not have to resintall any applications, and the only applicaitons that get updates are the bundled one's Apple includes. Not your third party ones, those require your manual updates, but likely not paid updates for the most part.
    10.6 is for Intel processors, offeres video card driver improvements, some new UI tweaks and strips out the PPC processor code your not using.
    Your sort of already using Snow Leopard already under Leopard, as Leopard is for both Intel and PPC processors.
    Now if your thinking of updating to 10.6 to get to 10.7, then yes, your older programs from Leopard and even some from Snow Leopard will not work in Lion 10.7
    So 10.6 is as far as you go.

    At this point, you can no longer download Lion (10.7) from the App Store, only Mountain Lion (10.8) - make sure all your applications are fully compatible if you decide to upgrade.
    Yes, you can restore 10.6 using your restore disc should you wish to - and the App Store (not ITunes) will have a record of all your purchases, since it's linked to your AppleId.

  • 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...)

  • I have an iMac with a Magic Mouse, if I want to upgrade my iMac to the OS X Lion, will I have to buy a Magic Trackpad?

    I have an iMac with a Magic Mouse, if I want to upgrade my iMac to the OS X Lion, will I have to buy a Magic Trackpad?

    Expanding on what Barry said, Lion includes features specifically for trackpads, but it's by no means necessary to have one. A Magic Mouse will work just fine (as will any other mouse or trackball).
    Regards.

  • How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion?  I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8)

    How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion?  I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8) since November until now.  Mail will no longer download on the MacBook Pro and keeps asking for my password.

    Mail should still be usable with your machine - but you'll need to update the settings to conform to the requirements of your system. Check with your ISP (like ATT, etc.) for the settings that will work with your Mail. Once you've updated this, you should be able to email like before.
    For example, my ISP required that I go to Mail Preferences/Accounts and make sure the details conform to your email settings.
    I have no idea of what your ISP is or what the settings might be, but this is likely the source of the problem.

  • If I upgrade to Lion, will all my stuff on my Mac be wiped out?

    If I upgrade to Lion, will all my stuff on my Mac be wiped out?

    If all goes as it is supposed to, no. Your data should all stay exactly where it is. However, there's always a possibility that something could go wrong.
    When you upgrade, you need to do the following:
    1) Check all your software for compatibility with the new system.
    2) Repair the hard drive with Disk Utility.
    3) Make a full backup of your whole system using Time Machine.
    4) Ideally, make a second full backup of your whole system using something else, like Carbon Copy Cloner. (I consider two backups to be the minimum.)
    5) Wait until you have time to deal with any possible problems that crop up.
    6) Install the upgrade.

  • If i upgrade OS X 10.6 to this version, do I have to reinstall parallel desktop?

    If i upgrade OS X 10.6 to this version, do I have to reinstall parallel desktop?

    1. Talk to Parallels. What version? You need 4.0+ for Snow Leopard.
    2. If you have problems saving files within your home directory, this is something you changed. The OS install does not touch (or have any idea about) permissions in your home folder. Repair permissions will not help here. Also, if you are seeing SUID warnings in repairing permissions, that's not related, it's a non issue.
    3. Yes, Aperture 1.5.6 came out 2 years ago. Aperture 2 has been out for 18 months. You need to upgrade to run with Snow Leopard. Why upgrade your OS so quickly and never upgrade your photo application? It's $100 to upgrade.
    4. Haven't seen that, but have you tried repairing keychains from within Keychain Access?
    5. Does OO 3.1 support 10.6? Check with them, as this isn't a Snow Leopard issue.

  • If I'm running Lion, will I have to buy Mountain Lion to get the new features?

    If I'm running Lion, will I have to buy Mountain Lion to get the new features? Or will the features also be sold as appts?

    Apple charges less for OSX upgrades than most apps cost.  I wouldn't bet on having them separated out, but you can use Messages now, since it's a beta.  But I believe that even that gets shut off by Apple once 10.8 comes out.
    I think you should just focus on getting Mountain Lion.  Also, remember, the Terms of Use for this forum precludes us from speculating on what Apple will or won't do with new products/software/etc.
