Parallels For Mac Copy Paste Not Working

Posted By admin  On 17.08.21

There are several ways to install Windows (or any other operating system) in a virtual machine, and Parallels Desktop makes it easy to get started within minutes.

On Intel-powered Mac computers it is simple to install Windows. Just follow our Installation Assistant and click “Install Windows.” On Apple M1 chip-powered Mac computers you can install Windows by following the instructions in this article.

Now, I seem to be unable to paste copied text. My clipboard seems to be cleared if there are lots of clicks or other actions in between the copy and the paste. If I copy - click directly to new location - paste, then it works correctly. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks.Edit.: The problem seems to have possibly been fixed. I cannot copy and paste within Windows or from Windows to Mac and vice versa. Copying/pasting is working when Parallels Tools are uninstalled or disabled in Windows services. 3rd party antivirus or clipboard manager on Mac or Windows side is blocking the access to Parallels Desktop Shared Clipboard feature.

On Intel-powered Mac computers it is simple to install Windows. Just follow our Installation Assistant and click “Install Windows.”

On Apple M1 chip-powered Mac computers you can install Windows 10 on ARM Insider Preview by watching the following video or by following the instructions in this article.

You can provide your own Microsoft Windows license key, purchase Windows directly from within Parallels Desktop, or transfer an existing Boot Camp partition with Windows already installed.

This screenshot illustrates the installation experience on an Intel-powered Mac and there is a separate article with installation information for the Apple M1 chip-powered Mac.

*Edit*: The problem seems to have possibly been fixed. I had been using BetterTouchTool, which seems to have broken with the OS update. I downloaded a new version and that may have fixed the problem.
