Philips TSU7500 Not Working
Just to add my show-stopper:
Device: Philips TSU7500 Remote Control
MFR: Philips Consumer Electronics Company
OS: Windows XP SP2, latest patches
Symptom: XP installs driver just fine, gets the "USB Connected" chime, but Pronto Pro Edit software reports that the device is not supported. Works fine under Boot Camp.
This has been the same since I first started using Parallels months ago, and is still with me in the latest release.
rmwilliams4 said:Please give the following details for every USB device which does not work so that Parallels will perhaps attack these. I've been waiting patiently since Beta 1 for my device to work and no go.
Device: SCR3310 Smart Card Reader
MFR: SCM Microsystems
OS: Windows XP SP2
Symptom: XP reports problem installing Driver - install usually hangs
Affects: Cannot use to connect to my corporate VPN - the main use of this product for me
Changes : Problem has been consistent since first version supporting USB

Newsguy said:Please add the new Motorola Q to the list of products that won't work in Parallels. Running RC2 XP SP2. It sees a driver, but won't do anything with it.

sly said:I've been having the same problem. I bought parallels to connect to my corporate network which requires a smartcard. I've been unable to get it to connect (latest build tested was 3186). I've also tried another brand of USB cardreader with simular problems.
what do your own network administrators say?

X10 CM15A ActiveHome Pro
The ActiveHome software can't read the time from the device; when I try to download to it, it takes many minutes (versus a couple of seconds on a real Windows machine) and doesn't seem to actually affect the device (sometimes with error messages, sometimes without).
Build 3188.

Sony Ericsson p910a can work with Parallels
I have build 3212, and I would like to inform everyone that after days of struggling with the syncing situation between my p910a Sony Ericsson phone and my MacBook, I have finally got them working together flawlessly. Here is what I did, if it helps:
Settings:
- Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 2 w/Installation of Bonjour -- I don't know if it matters, but it is supposed to help with USB communications
-Build 3212
-USB Enabled
-Autoconnect is off
-OS Window for viewing -- if it matters since the staff guy said it may
1. Originally installed all Sony apps, and nothing work at all.
2. Uninstalled all the Sony apps and started over.
3. I first started with downloading the phone dock driver from Sony website.
4. Plugged in the dock into a USB port and it detected new hardware (SEMC DSS SyncStation) once I manually selected it from the VM (Virtual Machine) USB list in the bottom right list of icons.
5. Pointed the Install Wizard to the correct folder (DSS folder) that contained the drivers.
6. The install wizard popped up again with another new hardware called, as well as my memory recalls, a USB Serial Port, so I pointed to the same DDS folder to install the other driver. Then it finished.
7. Then I downloaded and installed the Sony Ericsson PC Suite from the website.
8. Restarted the OS.
9. Then I made sure the USB device was checked in the VM icon on the bottom right part of parallels.
10. Then I double clicked on the sync icon (two opposite pointing arrows) in the Windows XP Tray and checked the USB connect.
11. Plugged in my phone and it worked.
I tried to remember everything for you guys out there. I hope it helps.

still not working
Just installed the latest as of December 6 2007 (v3.0 build 5580) and STILL does not work. It gets further than it did before, but erroneously reports that "The battery level of the connected device is too low to start download or upload." even when it's plugged into the AC adapter.
Folks: VMWare works PERFECTLY, i suggest you use that. Parallels guys: we need this, so we are forced to use your competitor's product??
Device: ProntpPro / ProntoProEdit NG - Universal remote control/Programming software
Manufacturer: Philips
VM: Windows XP
Windows detects the device as being present, but data cannot be uploaded or downloaded.

Another broken USB device... *sigh*
MSP430 USB-Debug-Interface. It's a JTAG debugger. Sadly our client is using it so I have to use it as well. When I plug it in to Parallels (either with automatic or from the USB menu) it crashes the machine hard (kernel crash). Brings the whole Mac down and requires a hard power-off and restart.
Anyone have any clue what's wrong or a work-around?

Device: GPSMap296
MFR: Garmin
OS: Windows XP SP2
Symptom: "Device in use by another application.."
Affects: Unable to communicate with device although system recognises presence.
Changes : Problem arose when OS X upgraded to 10.4.10. Subsequent upgrade to 10.4.1 and PB 5160 has made no difference.

I guess someone has just conveniently forgotten about this problem?
