Computer: Mac book pro Boot Camp with Windows XP installed and working. Parallel for Mac now installed also. Issue: have Microsoft bluetooth mouse and keyboard. which work fine in both Mac and Boot Camp environmnet. With Parallel the mouse works, but keyboard does not, and the bluetooth installer can't find any device. Can anybody help?
When you are using Parallels you don't 'bind' the keyboard to Parallels. It should just work if it is set-up on the OS X side.
Thanks for responding: The keyboard and the mouse are working in OSX but only the mouse works in Parallels.
Here is what I get from Boot Camp. There is nothing in XP Parallels Microsoft keyboard: Misc. peripheral device, address: 00:12:5a:9e:20:c8, no passkey Micrososft mouse: same except for address: 00:12:5a:9d:bb:bd Tried apple mouse and keyboard: same result. both work in OSX, only mouse works in Parallels.
Today I tried again and lo and behold both keyboard and mouse worked. This after about 3-4 days of trying. No idea what changed. Now, however, I can't connect to our wireless network. Getting frustrated with Parallels Boot Camp is stable. Thanks for being so patient. Greetings, Harro
Previously in Parallels I stayed connected to the internet (through our wireless hub), but in my last attempts at Parallels there was no access to the interent as evidenced by Microsoft who want to know everytime I am using Outlook etc. (in Parallels) if my programs are legally registered. My registration attempts failed and I was told that I was not connected to the internet. The Network panel was blank, refused to show me local wireless networks, and since without Microsoft Office I can't use Parallels anyhow, I gave up. I guess I wait out some updates then try again. Thanks for your help, appreciate your kindness. Harro
Does your Mac have internet? Also, what kind of internet is set-up for the VM? Bridged or Shared Networking?
