Hi!
I'm a longtime Mac user (since 1992) who is increasingly concerned that Apple's emphasis on iGadgets, form over function hardware, and an ever more simplified OS (making OSX more and more IOS-like) is going to make it harder and more expensive for me to continue using Macs in my work as a...

The computer is a 2012 i5 MacBook Pro with 16ram and I have Windows 7 loaded on Parallels 11.
Any ideas??

Hi all, long time reader.
I can figure out most things on my own when it comes to windows computers, however we use Windows Server 2008 R2 at work, and my boss asked me last week to configure Windows Firewall so that only our IP Addresses here in the office could RDP into the server (we have a...
Hello, I run Windows 7 on my iMAC via Parallells without any problems normally. It works e.g. fine to run the Windows Office programs. But I run into problems when I try to run Windows Movie Maker.
I get the instruction to run dxdiag.exe to verify my DDI-version.

I run Windows 8.1 as a Parallels virtual machine. Earlier this week - after an IMac hard drive crash - I had to re-install Windows. I have both Windows XP pro and a Windows 8 upgrade disk. My question is this. If I have to do this again, is there a workaround that will enable me to install...
I am very frustrated with Microsoft right now. I currently have a Macbook Pro with Retina Display and want to install Windows 8.1 in virtual box. I went to the MS website and was a little confused about the options so I started a live chat for help. They told me to purchase the Windows 8 Pro and...

Hi I have an imac running windows 7 pro via parallels and so far it's been almost a year with zero issues but lately whenever I shut down the windows 7 side it just stalls at the shut down screen.
I have left it on overnight returning in the morning still spinning saying shutting down.
I read...
Three points of happiness that I got out of this combination seem to be very decent speed, excellent graphics, and a very decent amount of free memory after bootup. Also should add the Windows 7 backup across network drives seems very nice, as well as copy and move files. Even with 8 gig's...
I work on a Mac. Recently (for online business purposes) I purchased Parallels in order to download Windows 7 Home Premium. This is where my problems started. I am a South African working in Korea. I could not download Windows 7 because I was told that my purchase would not be valid for that...
I have seen this problem before in other threads but my problem is that my computer won't even start up now. I am running Parallels 6.0 on my Macbook Pro and I have Windows 7 Ultimate installed. When I downloaded the Service Pack 1 update, everything was fine until I tried to reboot and my...
