iPhone will not connect through parallels

Has anyone else had trouble connecting iphone to itunes on a parallels vm instance?

I tested on my up-to-date install of 2.5. Then I upgraded to 3.0. same result.

When i plug in iPhone and select iPhone as one of the devices in the Devices > USB menu, the windows xp vm does its usual "found new hardware" thing. But itunes never conencts to itunes. I rebooted and tried several different attempts.

I tested on my primary XP vm and a fresh XP vm with a fresh install of itunes 3.7. iPhone did not connect in either. I thought it might just be slow so i left it connected overnight. That did not help.

The iPhone connects perfectly to iTunes in OSX or Vista (via bootcamp). So, I believe this is a USB bass-through issue with parallels.

Any suggestions?

Parallels 5

Can anyone who's upgraded (or heck, even Parallels themselves!) verify that the iPhone can't connect bug was fixed in 5.0?

Also would be nice to know if the .NET 3.5 Framework can't-copy-paste in Windows XP bug was fixed in 5.0.

see the #56 and #63

hello W Bruce H
Since last update of iTunes 9.1.0.79 the syncronisation does not work properly.
Right after the connection of iPhone to Mac ask to choose (Mac or Virtual machine). Under Windows, iTunes pop up the first window:
"iTunes cannot sync information with the iPhone "Name" because syncing hase been disabled on this computer, Do you want to enable syncing? (if you do not...) (Yes/No)"

When I click to yes then appear the nex window
"iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services. Reconnect os try again later."

Do you know the solution?

Obviously, there are many reasons for this problem. You need to find out the reasons and exclude them one by one. In order to solve the problem that the iPhone can not connect.
