I am running Parallels (with Windows) on a Macbook pro retina and am wondering if anyone else is. Did it solve your screen problems?

parallels is basically a virtual machine, use boot camp with the 15" late 2013 retina's and you will get 4k @ 60hz, if your mac is older your sol for now. even the late 2013 15" retinas only play 4k @ 30hz, witch is un useable at this point,. only thing good at 30fps is videos, desktop is choppy at 30hz

What screen problems? I just bought a 15" MacBook with Retina display, Parallels (running it with a Win7 VM), and this monitor. Everything is working beautifully. I haven't seen any problems. What problems?

Not per se, but I can confim that it *does* work under Parallels.I just got a MacBook and installed Parallels with Windows XP. The recorder shows up fine, and transfers work great (i.e. just as it does on a PC). This isn't an ideal solution, but it sure beats hooking up the Olympus to the PC, downloading recordings, and then shuttling the recordings from the PC to my MacBook.

It does not work on the mac OS BUT you can get around that if you want to work on a mac. I bought parallels for Mac + Windows XP, which added a condsiderable expense to the already expensive scanner, but being a previously disorganized grad student, this scanner helped a lot. It was worth the money. If you use it this way, it will work just about as well as on a PC (I used it on a dell previously). Maybe if you upgrade to the new Mac OS, you'll be able to use bootcamp (which I believe is included) and then all you would need is a copy of windows to install.

I only have Macs. So yes to macs. From my experience it's no different then hooking up a second monitor. Pc should also work fine.

I have installed this on an iMac with Parallels. I have been able to run my PC software.

I have a MAC but there are certain programs that seem to run better on PC, (Audible.com, Stamps.com) and i did not want to use Parallels program on the Mac.The Acer works great for me, no problems at all. I am satisfied with the Acer, especially for the price.. I hope this is helpful for you...Chuck

I don't know those particular games. However, Parallels just lets you install a copy of the Windows operating system on your hard drive - parallel operating systems of Mac and Windows. Anything you can run on Windows on any brand computer, you can run on Windows on your Mac.

Also, give BootCamp a shot. It's a free download on the Apple website. The only downside is that you would have to dual-boot the Mac, which means, if you want to use the Windows apps, you would have to reboot your Mac into the Windows OS. I would recommend Parallels, but if $80 is not in the budget, BootCamp is the best alternative.

Get Parallel 3.0 build 5582, which was release on 12/5/07. Earlier builds were not fully compatible with Leopard. I purchased an earlier build of 3.0 and parallel would not even start w/ Leopard. This problem has been reported on the web by other users. I upgraded to 5582, and it works beautifully. MCHP

I would like to know how you ran Parallels on a G4 machine. The box says it is only compatible with Intel-based Macs. Parallels has a snapshot feature. If you get infected with a virus, you can always revert back to the last snapshot before the infection. Hint: take a snapshot after setting up Windows without a network connection, and after configuring it the way you like it. Then go onto the internet. A full install of the Parallels toolset opens up access to the Mac disc drives. Although a Windows virus would not infect the Mac environment via Parallels, it is possible that using an infected Windows Word to edit a Word doc on the Mac would definitely lead to a Macro virus infection of .doc files on the Mac. Sharing such a file with your correspondents would send them the virus, and they would then be infected. Also, Trojan Horses can execute code that can have devastating effects, especially if targetting the Mac. I am not aware of any of this type, but there is always a first time...

Yes, I have ever since the software update, and it works fine running a dual monitor from my MacBook Pro off of the DVI.

Yes. Upgraded Snow Leopard to Lion without a problem but this Mac OS X shut down stalling still a problem (nothing to do with Parallels?). It happened after 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) update, so it could be an issue there. (Again, irrelevant to Parallels.)

My best friend is an all mac guy and I'm afraid he's not going to be able to play WildStar at all. They definitely won't have mac support at release. I have read several forum entries that say don't try to play Wildstar on Parallels because the delay on the MAC is overwhelming. I know some people are now trying to setup Bootcamp and make it work but it doesn't sound positive. I would definitely wait till Carbine comes out with a MAC client..

I think the answer is yes. I'm running vista without any problems. Ofice should also work. you might want to [post your question in the mac support forums: http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa or the parallels forums: http://forum.parallels.com/ where you will get a more expert answer

the version on amazon of parallels doesnt even support games in windows, so I would recommend bootcamp. The new version of parallels (3.0) does support games, but you will experience much better gaming performance if you run windows from bootcamp

I use it on my Mac with Win 7 running under Parallels. Should work under Win 8.

Ten years ago Macs and the Mac OS were pretty bad compared to Windows and Intel machines. But Mac OS X now that it's settled down is really nice. Disks are so big now, maybe you can afford a corner for a Mac OS playground. :-)Check this 3/29/2007 article on BootCamp 1.2's support for Vista including Aero Glass, and Parallels and VMWare's software for running MacOS and Windows at the same time (VMWare with DirectX with XP):http://weblog.infoworld.com/techwatch/archives/011018.html
