Jul 06, 2015 Parallels causing WiFi speed issues? Most likely it is the problem with Mac OS's discoveryd. Eventually worked out that whenever Parallels was open (Windows 7 Pro), if I put it to sleep, and woke it again, Wifi in both the host and VM would drop to 100 x slower.
- The top four applications for running Windows on an Intel-based Mac are Boot Camp, Parallels, Fusion and VirtualBox. All four work well and are easy to use. All four work well and are easy to use. Determining which one performs best, provides the best value, and best meets your needs can be difficult.
- Boot Camp is best at one thing, and that is allowing you to run Windows 10 at full speed on a Mac. It will give you the best performance, and a PC-like experience, with all the benefits.
Today we released Parallels Toolbox for Mac, version 1.5. In this blog post, I will tell you and show you what is in this new release.
As you may recall, Toolbox 1.2 and 1.3 were released in the fall of 2016. These releases added five new tools (Launch, Eject Volumes, Take Photo, Take Video, and Block Camera). Rather than adding new tools in the 1.5 release, we focused on making tool placement more flexible and increasing the functionality of existing tools.
Flexible Tool Placement
We have made it even easier to get to the tools you use the most. In Parallels Toolbox 1.5, you can now drag tools to the Desktop, to the Dock, to a new Favorite Tools area in the Toolbox menu, and to the Mac menu bar. Figure 1 shows each of these in a one-minute video. In each of these cases, you are really adding an alias to an individual tool. Thus, if you later no longer need that particular tool on your Desktop, in the Dock, or in the menu bar, you can just delete it—the tool remains in the Toolbox library. We hope that this additional flexibility in tool placement will make it even easier to use a tool when you need it.

System Audio Now Captured
The Record Screen tools have proven to be very popular with Toolbox users. These tools make it extremely easy to record your screen and voiceover in order to create a tutorial video or document a bug. All of the tools that record screen video now have the option to capture system audio, i.e., audio generated by the Mac or a Mac app (Figure 2). In addition, if your Mac has multiple camera or audio sources, you can now choose the ones that you want to be captured.
Toolbox 1.5 is a free upgrade to Toolbox users. Just use the Check for Updates … menu item in the Toolbox menu (Figure 3).
