I read through your splendid tutorial on installing Windows XP with Apple’s Boot Camp product (see boot camp help) but that’s not for me.I don’t want to have to reboot each time I want to try something out with a Windows app on my Mac. On Parallels I can still specify sharing this folder, however in order to do this I have to share my ENTIRE home directory on my Mac. So my Win7 can see my whole Mac!!!! I don't like that one bit at all.
I have a macbook pro. Recently I installed parallels desktop on it. But the problem i have is when I connect a usb device to my macbook it is not being detected in the windows parallel desktop. Also I have no idea how to get right click options in the parallel windows desktop. Can you please help me. Thank you for your help in advance. I have to admit that I was stymied for a long time about how to right-click within Parallels, a great virtualization application available for Mac OS X that lets you run Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux and a variety of other operating systems within Mac OS X. Plug in an external two-button mouse, of course, and the right click just works, but within Parallels? ![]() ![]() On mine you can see that I have my Connection Options set to “Connect to Guest OS”: yours is set to “Connect to Mac OS” instead. A good third alternative, by the way, is to simply choose the option “Ask me what to do”, which means that every time it detects a new USB device, you’ll have the option of letting Parallels have it or let Mac OS X have it. Finally, if you are running Parallels and you find that your USB devices are being captured by Mac OS X but not your virtual guest OS, you can also go to the Devices menu, find the peripheral in question, and choose it to have Parallels wrest control from Mac OS X and hand it to your guest operating system. If the peripheral is checked, Parallels owns it, and if it’s not checked, the Mac operating system owns it: As you can see, Parallels has stolen control of my Apple iPhone from the Mac operating system and the Mac side can’t see it. Interestingly, when hooked up this way, the phone doesn’t appear to charge from the USB connection, but when I release it from Parallels (by simply selecting it in this Devices menu) it syncs up with iTunes on my Mac and charges from the USB cable too. That should get you going a bit more efficiently with Parallels. Enjoy! Let’s Stay In Touch!Parallels For Mac Torrent
I do have a lot to say, and questions of my own for that matter, but first I'd like to say thank you, Dave, for all your helpful information by buying you a cup of coffee!
