I'm curious for all your Mac users out there which virtualization software you use and why? I've been a VM Ware user for Windows for years and have been running Parallels on my Mac (mainly because VM Ware was in Beta when I got Parallels). I'm curious if many folks have had experience with both, which may be better, pros and cons of ea...
I'd like to convert a Parallels Virtual Machine image on my mac into an image usable by Virtual PC 2007. Does anyone know how to do that, or if it is possible? ...
I've installed Ubuntu Server (8.04) into Parallels and found that the system time/clock ran fast to the extent that it would gain hours over time. ...
Try clicking on the "Print" button on the following page: (link removed - consensus is that everything was working fine and the problem was my setup) For debugging purposes, I've replaced a chunk of javascript with a simple alert("test"), and even that isn't showing up in IE7 for me. It works totally fine in Safari, FF (Mac and PC) and ...
How do I get Intellisense to work on Visual Studio running inside Parallels on a Mac? On my PC I press CTRL+Space to get Intellisense, but inside Parallels it looks like no key combination works; I thought that maybe it's because Quicksilver or Spotlight were using the same key combinations and could be intercepting, but it still doesn'...
I wrote a simple program in C# on Visual Studio 2005 on a windows machine at work. I tried to open the solution file at home in Visual Studio 2005, inside of Parallels, on my mac and I get the error: Unable to read the project file 'filename.csproj'. Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed. Does anyone know a way to fix this? ...
because Parallels names the localhost as '.psf' I have problems using Visual Studio within Parallels ('Invalid URI: Host name could not be passed' error appears). I understood that somehow I have to map a folder to a drive letter in Parallels. Can someone describe me the exact steps of how I could do this? ...
I am developing a Web application in Pylons on the Mac. My development server serves pages to http://127.0.0.1:5000/. Is there any way that I can access this page from Parallels for testing with IE without having to set up a development environment in Windows? ...
I'm trying to figure out a way to programatically determine if a copy of windows is running inside a copy of Parallels. I have found this post with very good instructions for determining if Windows is running within VMWare, VirtualPC, or WINE, but I haven't been able to find anything similar for Parallels. How does one go about detecti...
My app is in development and I do all my testing using WEBrick (I like the terminal output). On the production server it will run on Phusion Passenger. I'm running Snow Leopard and wish to test the app in an environment similar to the production environment. Can I use Parallels to run a Debian install with Apache and Passenger and con...
Guys, been knocking my head against the desk (instead of the mac) for hours. I'm running VS 2008 in a parallels VM. I can access the development server in the VM if local host is used, if I use the designated ip for the VM or try to access it externally it does not work. All firewalls are off and I verified that I can access iis external...
I currently own an iMac but do allot of asp.net based development in Parallels Desktop.How do i make iis my main web server within parallels desktop whilst doing the development osx side? I hope that makes sense ...
the issue is that my source is hosted on the host machine (in this case a mac book pro) and visual studio wants to be able to monitor the web.config for changes so it is throwing the error: An error occurred loading a configuration file: Failed to start monitoring changes to: \path\to\web.config I have tried to add the HKLM\Software\As...
I need to virtualise Ubuntu 24/7 on my Mac. Is there a lite virtualisation piece of software that allows me to run it discretely? I do not want an interface... I will manage via SSH... I have been using VirtualBox but it always insists on having a window open... can I run a guest OS as a service?? VMWare server looks suitable but it's ...
Greetings my wonderful StackOverflow family :) I grew up using Windows and switched to OSX as a Computer Science major in College. I've recently started my first real software developer job, and have a ThinkPad and Windows XP for developing ASP.NET / MS SQL applications (Visual Studio 2008). Question: Basically, I am wondering if any...
I'm running the app engine devserver on localhost:8080, and want to access it from ie7 running on parallels. I've tried all of the tips here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/61449/how-do-i-access-the-host-from-vmware-fusion And they seem like they should work, particularly accessing via the gateway ip address. I've also sudo ipfw ...
I use Windows (7) OS as a development platform, running on a Mac / Parallels Desktop 5. I would like to access the Windows localhost - from the Mac side for testing purposes. I've found many solutions of accessing the other way around (access Mac's localhost from Windows) - but found no solution for this access direction (if any). An...
Hello folks, I am trying to install Flex 3 on my Windows 7 Virtual machine (parallels desktop) on my Mac Pro. The problem seems to be some sort of conflict between the copy of Flex 3 Builder installed on Mac OS X. The installer tries to install Flex in x:/Program Files/Adobe/Flex Builder 3/ but since Parallels Desktop connects all dire...
It seems that the Windows Phone 7 SDK doesn't support running inside a VM. On Parallels, the entire VM simply crashes when the emulator is starting up. Around the web, though, a few people have reported that they were able to use it by changing a lot of the VM settings. What do I have to change to be able to run it? I'm specially int...
I have several projects which are shared between Windows and Mac. The dev machine is a Mac running Parallels: the files are stored on the Mac side, and the source is shared to the Windows side. This is very convenient, as I can switch back and forth between Windows and Mac tools rapidly without having to sync files. Recently I swit...
