    Since updating to Mountain Lion, I have a problem when connecting USB devices to guest Virtual PCs. If I go to the devices menu and choose the USB device i want to connect, I alway get "The Disk was not ejected properly" error message. I never used to get this with Lion. I have the latest version of Parallels installed, 7.0.15106.786747

    Any ideas?

    same issue here

    I'm apparently having same issue here, after upgrade to mountain lion even I attach usb to virtual machine it can't recognize anymore. I test it in linux virtual machines and windows virtual machines, I reinstall parallels and parallels tools (using uninstall and install,reboot,etc...), but nothing resolved. I'm stuck!
    Other weird problem is when use usb devices and try to shutdown virtual machines parallels don't do nothing if I force via parallels stop/shutdown/reset nothing happens just continues with status shutdown,stopping I only can start again virtual machine after reboot.

    Its really annoying me if parallels 8 won't resolve this issue I will try vmware.

    The disk was not ejected properly

    Has there ever been a solution to this issue? I'm seeing the same thing after upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion, whenever I connect the USB to Parallels

    Mac mini
    OS X 10.8.2

    Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac
    Build 7.0.15.107 Rev. 796624

    I think this issue was fixed a couple of versions ago for version 8, I have not had this problem for a while now. Make sure you are using the very latest build of version 8.
