Found Fix For My Device
Same problems as above. This worked for me (XP Virtual Machine USB Root Hub installed - as per normal XP installation):
- Connected USB device and chose to have it connected to the VM (versus the Mac)
-with VM running, went to Parallels Desktop - > Preferences (from main Mac menu bar)
- USB -> Permanent Assignments
- device (Garmin GPS with SD Card) wasn't listed had to turn it on and off to get it to show up in the USB Device column
- added permanent assignment of device to 'Microsoft Windows XP'
Clicked OK and it was then connected (without the little lock showing beside the device name when clicking the USB icon at the bottom of the VM window).
hope this helps
