USB Medical Device not recognized by iMac or Windows through Parallels 7 Virtual Machine

I have a USB Medical device which initially i was using through a Windows based Laptop, I want to connect it to my iMac to use it through Parallels on Windows 7. The device is not recognized by my iMac therefore it is not recognized by the virtual machine. It does not show in the Universal Usb devices or else. It is a Windows USB Device.
Would appreciate your help.
Thank you

Thanks for the reply. I was able to get the WD hard drive back up and running using the Disk Utilities application. I tried to fix it using the diagnose / repair option but that failed so I had to reformat and partition it. Now it works great but I lost all the data that was on it. I still don't know what caused the problem and hope it doesn't happen again.

Keyboard in windows through parallels

Hi,
I'm running OSX 10.9 and windows 7 through parallels.
I cannot get my keyboard to function similar in windows as it does in my OSX. I have change the keyboard to my language (danish) with the apple, parallels label. The @ key works now like it does in mac, however {},[] does not. These symbols are very important to my, as i am studying programming, and i will not accept to have several combinations of keys to gain the symbols pre-mentioned depending on in which OS im coding in.
What to do?

Depending on how you have Parallels set up, you should be able to 'see' al of your user folders from the Windows desktop. You could create a folder on your Mac Desktop, save the design file(s) there and then attach from Mac Macil (or whichever email client you use on a Mac - I use MS Outlook which would handle the files beautifully - not so certain about Mail).
Good luck,
Clinton

Hello...
It seems I got it fixed!! I had been trying the Fixit tool from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306759 while typing up there :))))
This tool is for changing RDP port but running it fixed my problem (I kept the port 3389 intact)!!
Hope it helps someone.

Internet connection lost when using Windows with Parallels 5

A couple of months ago I installed Parallels 5 and Windows 7 thinking I'd need to use it some day and of course I went to use Windows on my MacBook Pro today only to find that I can't connect to the internet via Windows. It keeps telling me that I need to install a network adapter. I'm using Airport to connect me to a Netgear wireless router which works fine in Mac OS X. I thought perhaps connecting to the router directly with an ethernet cable might work - it didn't. I've also had a quick play under the DEVICES menu in Parallels (taking a guess at some settings, with no luck).
I would appreciate any suggestions - thanks in advance

Did you install the Parallels Tools package? It includes drivers that link the Windows virtual machine to OS X.
That is to say, there should be a command in one of the Parallels Desktop menus (have Parallels but not version 5) that installs this package into the VM. You may need to REinstall if it didn't take the first time.

I currently run Windows 7 on my iMac using the Parallels software on a Virtual Machine. I now wish to use Windows through bootcamp. How do I remove windows from the Virtual Machine

I currently run Windows 7 on my Imac through a Virtual Machine format with the Parallels software. I now wish to remove Windows from the VM restore the Hard Drive to a single partition then install windows 7 using bootcamp. How do I go about it

The virtual machine isn't a partition on your hard drive, it's just a file. You can delete the vm by going into Paralells preferences or just drag t to the trash. Bootcamp will partition your hard drive for a Win 7 install.

Is it dffernet to install windows through parallels and use bootcamp ?????

I've used to bootcamp install windows , Can i use parallel to use it

If Parallels will run okay with Panther then you can install Windows into it. Parallels runs like a native Apple program on your desktop. Windows runs in Parallels the same as it would in Virtual PC. If you use bootcamp then you are setting up your Mac to dual boot Windows or the Mac OS. I have tried both and Parallels is way more convenient.

I use windows on parallels. I synced my Outlook 2010 Calendar through the iCloud control panel; but when I try to update the calendar through outlook 2010, it says I don't have permission to update it ?... and thereby, fails to sync with my iCal .. ??

Is somebody facing a similar issue... Would be glad if someone could share their views; and provide a solution if it exists
Thanks

It was a CCC clone, and I had 2 versions, One that runs monthly and one I made because the computer was acting wonky. I called Apple because the Mac gave me an error message on my Time Machine disk, telling me to copy the backup to another drive and reformat. I was unable to copy it to the new drive because it said I didn't have the proper permissions. After trying several things, I deleted the data and reformatted. The drive is one of my older ones, so I suspected it was really bad. (Turns out drive is good according to Apple) So no time machine backup. However, I figured I had two CCC files, so there shouldn't be a problem, still thinking it was my external drive that had the issue. Talked to Apple who finally sent me to a store. The Genius said that it was actually the HD in the iMac that was bad. I told them to go ahead and replace, thinking I had double backup at home, as well as an online backup system.
I was unable to restore from the new CCC, but the older one worked, except I only got about 30% of my data. I've been in contact with Mike Bombrich and he reviewed my logs and saw that somehow CCC did not see my photos or movies or music and deleted them from the update run that morning. Now I have about 160GB of the original 540GB of data on CCC. I'm not a techie, but because I had problems with the TM, the CCC clones and CrashPlan that the bad HD screwed up the search/sync in some way. I am waiting until the darn online system stops scanning my disks long enough to try to download and restore from CP, but it has been in a constant scan/sync mode for over a week.

IP Address using Windows with Parallels

Hi, I have a linux based satellite receiver with a 192.168 IP address and my MacBook Pro which also has a 192.168 IP address connected to my wireless router.
I have a program for editing channel info on my sat receiver which only works on Windows, I am running Windows XP via Parallels. No drama so far, everything works ok.
The problem I have is I need to FTP data to the sat receiver, no big deal except, the IP address that I get within Windows whilst running Parallels is a strange looking one, not a 192.168 address (I guess some kind of virtual IP address). From the VM, how can I access the 192.168 address of the sat receiver to be able to FTP the data I need ?? When I try to Ping I get destination host unreachable.
Cheers

Check the firewall settings on the mac side. Ping is a rather low-level protocol and may not be treated as well as FTP or web data. You should be able to FTP to any address in your local subnet from Windows. You may have to use passive FTP to avoid problems with the firewall.

Performance Using Windows and Parallels?

We are getting new computers at work and are fighting to stay on the Mac, but we are running more and more Windows apps. How does performance of Windows apps under Parallels compare (relatively) to the old days of running Virtual PC? Seems to me that having an Intel processor would provide a big boost in performance, since you no longer have to emulate an Intel. I'm talking about RoboHelp, PowerPoint, and web-based applications, nothing too graphic or processor intensive.

Unless the Windows software you want to use is incredible CPU intensive, using Parallels or VMWare (or even the free VirtualBox) will probably suit you fine. I use PD and Win7 with a number of applications on a 2011 MBA. The ony time I notice any speed degredation is when Win7 is booting up or coming out of hibernation; once it is running there's no noticable performance hit. I can move back and forth between Windows and the Mac smoothly and the programs run fine. (There is, however a noticable hit on battery life because PD is a heavy CPU user.) BootCamp, because it allows you to run Windows natively, has no affect on the Mac because when you are running Windows in BootCamp you aren't running the Mac OS. With BootCamp you run one or the other at one time unlike PD which lets you run multiple OS versions at one time

Accessing Mac HD from Windows through Parallels

Hi ALl,
I installed Parallels in my macbook and choose a 'NTFS format option' as Parallels recommended it. Once I go into Windows I cannot access Mac HD/files in it.
Could any body help me in finding a way to access Mac OS X files from Windows and also vice versa.
Thanks
Sandeep

I suggest you head toward the Parallels forums found at http://forums.parallels.com

Has anyone used ROXIO TOAST II for burning DVD

Has anyone used ROXIO TOAST II for setting up intro and burning to DVD. I used to do this in IDVD which has been abandoned in the Maverick

Just to say that that I've tested iDVD on 10.9 and it works for me. It's a discontinued program of course, and hasn't been supported for several years, but I don't think it runs any differently on 10.9 than it did on say, 10.6.
However…can't help you with Toast because I don't use it.

Using Windows Media Player to burn CDs

I use Acoustica to create music files from my audio tapes. Then I burn these files to a CD. Sometimes the files will be listed with the file time, and sometimes without. When there is no time, Media Player says it can't burn that file because it can't detect
the time. Why not? In Acoustica the files all have times, but Media Player finds a time or not with no rhyme or reason I can find.

Can you check with the different CD burning app like Nero?

To use windows through bootcamp, do I have to buy a windows product key?

I don't exactly understand how bootcamp works and was wondering if I needed to buy a windows key to get the ISO file.

Yes you need to buy Windows -- i.e., you need a licensed copy of Windows.

Has anyone been able to update to Mango using Windows Phone 7 Connector (for Mac) ?

I've been trying to update my Trophy, but have not been able to get past the 7392 update. Since I am on a Mac, I have been using the god-awful Windows Phone 7 Connector. I've tried using Windows, through Parallels, but it bogs my machine down so much, I can't tell if the software has crashed or the machine is frozen.
Looking for ways to Jedi Force the update all point to using a PC and Zune, but nothing for Windows Phone 7 Connector.
Thanks, in advance.

In the case of the Mac, I would have to suggest that you just be patient. I am not familiar with the Windows Phone Connector, but the reported "force" of disconnecting the internet connection while checking for updates is a Zune workaround, not advertised in any way to work on a Mac.
It is not Verizon who is holding back the update. Microsoft had announced in the beginning that they were going to roll it out in a controlled fashion, with only 10% during the first week, and ramping things up if they went smoothly. Things DID go smoothly, and they have ramped up, and from what I have read, at this point the update is available to about 50% of Windows Phone users. As reported by WPCentral, after ten days, 20% of users are running Mango. Compare that to 38% of Android users being updated to Gingerbread 10 MONTHS after the update was released (http://www.wpcentral.com/just-ten-days-microsoft-has-updated-20-phone-mango-world-wide-android-weeps). Microsoft is well ahead of that curve. Remember - they have said that they expect everyone to have Mango available to them by the end of October. I know it is hard to sit and wait while your friends are using Mango, but I hope this helps you.
