The new version has solved all USB issues for me!!!! It works great on 10.9 DP7. The new build number is 9.0.23046...with a September 4, 2013 update date.

New version of v9 just released!!!!!

Well...Before installing new versions of Parallels tools etc., to any VM I ALWAYS backup my VM's using a marvelous tool called QRecall. I also use Carbon Copy Cloner to make an image of my system partition before upgrading to Parallels v9. So...my recovery was actually easy...I simply restored...

Yes...i added the disable USB 2 flag...which does stop the constant connect and disconnect Windows "chimes"...however, with this flag, none of my USB devices successfully connect to my VM's. I tried USB flash drives, standard USB external drives...none of them are available to the VM...

I feel your pain. v9 USB functionality does not work on 10.8.4 either. So...tomorrow...if they make v9 generally available without a patch...the "stuff will hit the fan" for sure... According to other support threads...there is a race condition created for USB 2 devices in v9...I would hope...

My apologies...let me amend my statement...just consider yourself lucky that you did not waste time installing it yet...and have to roll-back to v8 as I did...

Just consider yourself lucky for not spending the $50 like I did...I'm sure they will get it fixed...but charging $50 for this as it stands today is nuts...USB connectivity is basic functionality...I can't imagine how this was overlooked.

It is not fixed...Parallels v9 USB support remains broken in both 10.8.4 and 10.9 DP7...

Just an update... USB functionality remains broken in Parallels v8 on 10.9 DP7 & Parallels v9 on 10.9 DP7. Tomorrow is the general release of v9? Man...there will be lots of unhappy campers...

Just an update...I reloaded my system with 10.8.4...then installed Parallels V9...and the USB issue is there as well on all Windows 8/8.1 VM's, so this is not only a Mavericks issue. I even did a fresh VM build of Windows 8 and the problem is there. I see this same issue now in many other...

James, Ok...I added the config string...and this does stop the constant USB connect/disconnect, endless USB "chimes", etc. However, now when I attach a USB device...like a simple thumb-drive...it takes it from the mac side...as expected...and it shows under Devices-External...but does not...

I really can't tell...if I boot the Windows 8 or 8.1 VM with the USB Controller present...the machine immediately begins the non-stop USB "chiming" even before the Start Menu/Desktop becomes visible...and then the entire VM machine grinds to a halt. There really is no opportunity to connect a...

Yes...i have uninstalled tools...rebooted the VM...then re-installed tools with the same result. I am seeing this exact same behavior on 2 mac's that I upgraded to V9...a MacBook Pro and a Mac Pro. If I remove the USB controller completely from the VM's config...the Windows 8 and Windows 8.1...

I mean the Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 VM's have the constant Windows "chime" sound of USB devices connecting and disconnecting. This also makes the VM's response time about 90% slower than normal. I see the USB device icon in the notification area appearing and disappearing constantly with no...

I don't even have a "Devices - USB" selection under the Devices menu...mine says "External Devices"...

Folks....please approach with extreme caution. I purchased and downloaded V9...and it completely hammered my Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 VM's. Windows 7 VM's appears to be OK. Unreal....spend $50 and get bigger problems than USB...very unhappy. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling V9 tools...

I restarted my mac, launched Parallels and then started my VM's and I see no such upgrade offer. I thought version 9 was to be released next Thursday? So...are they telling us that you must buy version 9 to get USB devices to work in Mavericks? I guess so...

Same issue here. No USB devices will successfully attach to any of my Windows VM's...i.e., Windows 7 x64, Windows 7 x86, Windows 8 x64. I also noticed the "Not Responding" status on the Parallels process in Activity Monitor...very odd...

After some additional testing...I may have a lead on the cause of this issue and would like your thoughts. It appears that by reducing the number of virtual CPU's on the Parallels VM from 4 to 2...the VSphere Client workload, at least thus far, completes OK without any crashes of Windows 8...

I executed the Apple hardware extended tests twice..."No Trouble Found" both times...
