    Hi, there. I'm sorry if this is a duplicate question.

    I run 2 VMs (both Windows but different versions) simultaneously. After a while, I plug my iPod to the machine. OK the first VM gets the iPod so I click on the USB icon (in Parallels window) and deselect iPod. Then the second VM gets the iPod so, again, I click on the USB icon and deselect the iPod.

    What happens next? My Mac should gets the iPod but it doesn't. The first VM steals my iPod! So back to an above loop. What I do is turning off one of VM. Then deselect iPod from the one left VM. Then the Mac gets the iPod. And final start VM again with USB auto connect off.

    I don't know if this is a bug or not but it shouldn't be. Is there any workaround?

    Turn off USB autoconnect and the problem should go away.
