    Hey folks - so, if you're trying to get your Blackberry to connect in the Windows VM and you have PocketMac installed, simply do the following before you start Parallels:

    In Terminal: sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/BlackberryUSB.kext

    After you exit Parallels do the following in Terminal:
    sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/BlackberryUSB.kext

    You should be good to go with USB Blackberry usage in Parallels and with PocketMac in OS X with these steps.

    Good luck.

    When I try to enter the unload command I get a "failed" message in Terminal. What am I missing?

    I'm not sure why it's giving you the failed...did you append sudo to the front of your statement?

    The reason he was getting a "failed" message is that the extension wasn't loaded at the time. You can get the same message by issuing the "unload" command twice in a row.

    But the bigger issue is that this doesn't seem to work at all. Was this theory or have you actually gotten your Blackberry to connect and sync to Parallels?

    Well, I ran the command and succeeded...

    kextunload: unload kext /System/Library/Extensions/BlackberryUSB.kext succeeded

    But, after restarted my VM I'm still getting my 5-10 wait message.

    Anyone else have success with this? :confused:

    I got this working after unloading the PocketMac driver and waiting for "a while". I also connected another USB device in the meantime, not sure if that had anything to do with it. Initially, I got the error under Parallels, but about 2-3 minutes later I got connected OK.

    However, although Windows sees the device and detects it properly, I cannot get the Blackberry Desktop Manager to see the device at all.
