USB & Bluetooth
A virtual machine can emulate only one USB controller, which provides you with the possibility to connect up to 12 USB 3.0, 15 USB 2.0, and 32 USB 1.1 devices to the virtual machine.
To edit the device settings, do the following:
-
Open the
Actions
menu or click the Parallels icon
in the Mac menu bar and choose
Configure
.
-
In the
Virtual Machine Configuration
dialog, click
Hardware
and select this device name in the sidebar.
Note:
If this device is absent, you can add it to Virtual Machine Configuration. For detailed information on how to add a device, refer to
Adding and Removing Devices
.
In the
USB & Bluetooth
pane, you can:
-
Disable camera sharing.
-
Enable Bluetooth devices sharing.
-
Enable USB 3.0 support.
Once USB 3.0 support is enabled, you can immediately start using USB 3.0 devices with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. To be able to use USB 3.0 devices with Windows 7/Vista/XP, you must also install the USB 3.0 driver in Windows. The driver can be found
here
.
Note:
You can also use USB 3.0 devices in the guest versions of OS X 10.7.4 with the latest updates installed, OS X 10.8, and Linux guest operating systems that support USB 3.0.
If you want to prevent Virtual Machine Configuration from unauthorized changes, click the Lock icon
at the bottom of the window. The next time someone wants to change the settings in any pane of Virtual Machine Configuration, an administrator's password will be required.
