What does this error mean, and how can I resolve it. It happened after in installed a memorex usb jump drive, then tried to connect a usb Canon scanner. That is when I got the error when plugging in the scanner. Note that nothing else was plugged into a usb port, I had already removed the jump drive. This is the error message. USB device you are trying to connect to the virtual machine is being used by another process. Wait 5-10 seconds, then try to connect the device again. If this does not help, find the application that blocked up the device and disconnect it manually.
I too got this error, i'm using the latest trial version of parallels (build 1970) i get this error when selecting any usb from the device list and usb key drive won't show up in windows on macbook pro. any ideas? mike.
i have build 1970 trial and have the same problem. need usb for work. any ideas would be great> thanks
This has been back and forth. RC2 caused this to begin happening to one of my USB devices (an e-gate smart card reader), then RC3 fixed the issue it being in use every time for the e-gate smart card reader, but then caused this issue to occur with a USB serial adapter. Now with RC4 (at least it should be RC4 based on the number of issues i've seen already) causes this to happen again with the e-gate usb reader after it was fixed for RC3. Getting rather annoying.. An RTM should only be released after the previous RC had no issues. Now we have a release 2.5 that has less functionality than it's beta and RC counterparts.
