How to disconnect a USB device that auto-connects to my iMac

I have a third-party device that gathers medical data that can be uploaded to my computer via USB. Now, however, I want to upload it to a web-based application application that runs only on Windows. I run Windows 7 on a virtual machine via Parallels 7. The problem is that when I plug the medical monitoring device into the USB port it automatically connects to the Mac, and I cannot see it from the Windows desktop. Plugging it in no longer gives me the option of connecting to the Mac or the PC. (I think I did an "Alt [right click]" the first time I connected via the USB cable.) So, how can I now force that auto-connect to disconnect? Thanks.

Hi Bob, I remember doing something like that...
On the Mac side eject it without removing it, then on the Win/Parallels side look for that USB thing setting/add device or whatever.

  • How do I get a printer that is connected to my iMac to work with a PC?

    I have an Ethernet cable available. I already connected it and was able to make the Windows PC use my iMac's AirPort internet connection. I also want to set up my HP Photosmart C4280 scanner-copier-printer to work with this PC, but I can't figure it out.
    Can someone please tell me what the easiest way to do this is?
    Thanks.

    When you turn on printer sharing your mac becomes a print server and will advertise the printer using the bonjour protocol.
    So on your pc download and install Bonjour For Windows
    Scanning is not supported however.

  • Windows 7 x64 only installs the drivers for USB devices that are plugged in upon system startup

    Hi all,
    I have a most unusual problem. On my personal desktop, I can only use USB devices that are plugged in upon system startup. If I unplug a USB device and then plug it in again, the driver will not install correctly. I cannot force the device to start and I
    can't pick a driver manually. All I get is this. If I plug in a USB device and then reboot, the driver gets installed correctly and I can use it until I unplug it again. I'm pretty sure it's a Windows issue
    but I can list the hardware I have if it is needed.
    I have tried:
    Running an SFC /SCANNOW as administrator
    Uninstalling all USB controllers via device manager and letting them reinstall
    Neither worked to resolve the issue. If this was a client's computer I would probably just reinstall Windows but because this is my main work PC it'd be a huge hassle to do it, so I'd really appreciate any other ideas anyone has. If I have to reinstall I
    will. Thanks!

    Hi,
    Since the issue just happened for 4 monthes, I consider that some changes or updates may cause the issue.
    Please also try to restore the system back to the point before this issue.
    You can also try these steps:
    1.Power down your laptop or desktop
    2.Physically unplug the computer.  If it’s a laptop, remove the battery too.
    3.Leave it disconnected for three minutes
    4.Replug the desktop or reinsert the battery
    5.Power on the system
    For the reasons, you can refer to this article:

  • How to blacklist a usb device in BSD?

    I am having trouble communicating with a usb device while running Virtualbox on my iMac (Lion).  Virtualbox is virtualization software which lets me run Windows XP as a guest OS.  I am trying to run Palm Desktop for Windows on the virtual computer and I have trouble getting the USB connected Palm device to sync to the Windows application.  It turns out the Palm device's use of the USB protocol is not quite conventional and so the virtual OS has trouble capturing it and presenting it to the Windows application.
    Others who run Virtualbox under linux have seen this same problem with Palm devices and have found a workaround by disabling the host linux USB driver so that the Virtualbox application has unfettered access to it.  This process is called "blacklisting" a USB device under linux, and involves editing the "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" linux config file.  My question is can I perform a similar operation in MacOS?  The BSD I/O subsystem is different enough from linux to prevent me from knowing where to go in OSX to do a similar modification.

    I'm having the same problem.  I can't get OS X to ignore an SPI digital logic device (MCP2210) that I want to run from my Windows XP Virtual Box in order to control an experiment.   Virtual Box sees it but it's grayed out under the list of USB devices to mount in Windows XP, and I don't know how to get the Max OS X to released/unmount/ignore/blacklist it.

  • WHY, when I have nothing plugged in does Windows flag up a USB device that is does not recognise?

    WHY, when I have nothing plugged in does Windows flag up a USB device that is does not recognise?  When I check it a box comes up which offers a diagram that does not tell me which port it is?  How do I check which port/outlet it actually is? Could
    there be software (rather than a USB port) in my system that Microsoft doesn't recognise? The Windows defender scan shows nothing and the Windows reporter said twice now there are 10 problems but they can't report back right now.  Should
    I be worried?  What should I do?  Everything I want to do within the operating system seems to be working and my speed hasn't noticeably changed.  Can anyone help?
    PS What is code 43?  Also it says Broadcom 270 Bluetooth is disabled, what does that do?  Should I enable it, won't it allow Bluetooth access, which I don't need?  The scanning of hardware seems to say Hardware changes may not have been detected
    as well as Unknown Device is not working properly.

    Some phones can only send and recieve SMS messages. If the recipients phone doesn't support MMS they won't be able to recieve a text with a photo.
    To get your photos in Photo Stream, you'll need to setup iCloud. Check out this Apple article for more info -> iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ

  • ICloud has loaded my contacts to my daughters iPhone how can I separate 2 devices that are on one account

    ICloud has loaded my contacts to my daughters iPhone how can I separate 2 devices that are on one account

    You can't. The whole point of iCloud is to sync contacts, calendars etc to all devices connected to the same account.
    For your daughter to maintain her own contacts and calendars in iCloud, she'll need her own iCloud account, using her own AppleID. Sign out of iCloud on your daughters phone then setup a new iCloud account for her:
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html
    (Note that this does not affect purchases made from the iTunes / AppStores. You can still use different AppleIDs for both iTunes and iCloud on the same device.)

  • ITunes crashes each time I connect/disconnect ANY USB device... OR even Ethernet

    Hi,
    I use the last version of both iTunes (11.1.5 64 bits, last version detected) and Windows 8.1 on an Asus G750J (64 bits) and for several weeks now iTunes crashes EACH TIME I connect or disconnect ANY USB device (not only my iPhone, but my external hard disk or my... mouse) and even my Ethernet port...
    None of my other softawares are impacted
    Thanks for your help
    Serge

    Reinstalling the 64 bit version in the x36 programm folder seems to solve the problem but it's not satisfactory. I'd prefer to keep the advantage of beeing under the 64 bits version.
