Further, Mac drives can now be mapped by Windows and sound devices can now be changed ‘on the fly’. Up to 2 GB of RAM can be allocated to a virtual machine, with a total of 4 GB of RAM available. Parallels Desktop for Mac Build 5608 added support for guest Parallels Tools for Linux in the latest Linux distributions (including Ubuntu 8). Parallels Desktop 14.0.1 Crack for MAC recently launched by the official information. The latest version now allows user to more then 20 GB for a virtual machine. The new version is really 4X more faster then the previous stuck version.

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?

First, if you haven't already, you need to tell Parallels what folder in OS X you want to share with Windows. To do this go to the 'Virtual Machine' menu and select 'Configure…'. From there go to the 'Shared Folders' section and add a new user-defined share.
Back in Windows, open My Computer and look for button in the toolbar called 'Map Network Drive.' It'll bring up a dialog box which lets you choose the drive letter and path to the shared folder. It's easier to just hit the Browse button and navigate to the share than to type it by hand.
Hit the Finish button and you should be all set.

I got an error whilst installing Windows 10 from .iso file as virtual machine via Parallels 9 on OSX 10.10 which read something like:
Media driver missing . It leaves you in a loop which requires you to add the drivers. But you cannot install any cause there are no suggestions.
Now the main issue seemed that the iso wasn't on a bootable device which is what most sources say you need to do. Obviously that seemed like an unneeded step and i got the installation going. Mostly because you were already inside the installation that had been booted in the first place. Which is better boot camp or parallels.
Software i use:OSX 10.10 (latest)Parallels 9 (latest updates, i know Parallels 10 is out)Windows 10 iso from http://preview.windows.comVM setup with iso from external HD (NTFS) and locally stored.
So what to do?

What you can do is shut down your virtual machine (close out the installation first to make sure). Go to the settings of the parallels by clicking:
-> Menubar:
Virtual Machine
->
Configure
->
Hardware tab Parallels for mac trial version of windows.
->
CD/DVD 1 (where your image is inserted)
->
Location dropdown
-> Select
IDE 0:1 (instead of SATA 0:1 )
-> Restart VM
Done!
Installation will continue normally and you can start trying Windows 10 from Parallels 9 on your Mac.

I'm not sure if this works for Parallels 10 (i think so) and i'm also not sure if this will work for other (older) Windows installations. But to remove the steps required for making a bootable disk is good enough for me.

You can tell to parallels to install it as windows xp and it will work fine.

This issue occurs, also, when you have a MacBook Pro (10,2 or similar) without a DVD drive, while installing Windows 10 via USB.
So, during the Parallels 10 or 11 Guest setup, choose to configure using an ISO instead.
