Is 10.4.10 compatible with PD 3.0?
Just today Apple came up with their Tiger update of 10.4.10. Is it compatible with PD 3.0?

No problems since upgrading to 10.4.10 here either.

If you are a happy owner of PD 3.0, it is safe to upgrade to 10.4.10 now. We are not aware of any compatibility issues.

If you are a happy owner of PD 2.5 (both builds 3188 and 3212), it is not recommended to update to 10.4.10 now if your production environment relies on USB support in PD. There’s a known compatibility problem with Parallels Desktop build 3188 and 3212 USB implementation and Mac OS X 10.4.10. We are issuing and update for 2.5 within next two days that fixes the compatibility problem

It might be a good idea to make this a sticky note on the Mac forums until the update for 2.5 is out or surely there will be problems and more rants.

Appreciate the heads up. I am using PD build 3212 without any problems and wish to keep it that way. So while I normally update my Mac OS fairly quickly, I will wait a few days this time so I can update my PD first.

I "upgraded" from 3212 to 4128, both running 10.4.10. USB does NOT work in 4128 -- same message appears "device is in use by another application" -- it's not.

Lago,
I have found USB to work well in 4128 and 10.4.10. Perhaps if you could be specific about the USB device and your Hardware configuration we could help you get it working. There are, no doubt, some devices which may not work, but most we can help you with.

USB in P3.0 with 10.4.10
The USB device which, so far, won't work is the IrDa Bridge for the Polar Heart Watch. It's a USB device, not USB2. I have installed the Polar driver, which says it's for WIN 2000 and I suspect that's the problem.

Polar makes a USB2 interface which is supposed to be Vista compatible -- I've just ordered one. The Polar website says it uses native Vista IR drivers-- we'll see!

The other device is a Durametric ODBII diagnostic tool for Porsche. That does seem to work OK in my current configuration.

Thanks for the quick attention -- if you have any suggestion about how I might get the USB1 Polar thing working, I'm interested. If not, we can just wait and see if the new Polar thingie does the trick.

Thanks, again.
