I am having difficulty setting up the Bluetooth device in Parallels on the Mac Book Air. In other posts, it is suggested to click the apple wireless device. However, there is no selection when parallels is installed on the MBA. I tried installing on a 20 Desktop Mac and the apple wireless show up. The only option on the MBA that looks reasonable is the Bluetooth USB host controller. Clicking this only causes my Mac Bluetooth to shut off. Windows also reports that it is unable to find a Bluetooth driver.
My objective is to hot sync via Bluetooth a Treo 680. Any advice would be appreciated.
 
I use a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse on my MacBook Air VM with no problem. Does that mean Bluetooth works?
 
Do you access it from the device menu in parallels? or is it activated in the Mac OS? From what i understand, items like keyboards and mice all really run in Mac OS. If you were to look in the windows control panel, there would be no reference to any bluetooth devices. On the parallels - devices menu do you have any of the following options?
Bluetooth USB controller?
Apple wireless?
Serial controller?
What happens when you select one of these? Does windows look for a driver and come up short?
