I have been trying to setup the Iphone service without any luck. Currently not using Mobile Me. The message I get every time I try to start it is Unable to start the iphone service. An error occurred while starting the iPhone service. Try to restart your MAC. If the problem persists, reinstall Parallels Desktop or contact support. Even after a boot I still get this message. Also allowed parallels in the firewall and turned it off with the same results. Sometimes I will get the message Your changes cannot be saved due to improper user session initialization. The user session was established incorrectly. Try a new session or contact support. I'm on version 5 build 5.0.9344 revision 558741 March 5, 2010.
Parallels Mobile not working I have the issue with Parallels mobile not working in Parallels desktop 5. When I first try to enable the 'allow connections from iphone' option I get the error "Unable to start the iPhone service. An error occurred while starting the iPhone service. Try to restart your Mac. If the problem persists, reinstall Parallels Desktop or contact the Parallels support team for assistance." I've restarted my Mac, tried running as su/root, re-installed parallels, updated parallels, and ensured my software was registered. No change. If I uncheck either the 'allow connections form iphone' or the 'send list of your mac's accounts to parallel mobile', I get the following error. "Your changes cannot be saved due to an improper user session initialization. The user session was established incorrectly. Try to establish a new session or contact the Parallels support team for assistance."
