+Cstandi1 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I use a mac but I have parallels to run windows on it. When I attempt to use my colorado through parallels to download maps from mapsource it says that the device is in use by another program and I need to quit that first. I am assuming that the program which is using the colorado is on the mac side but I cant figure out what it would be. Anyone got an idea? Quote Link to comment
+webscouter. Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Don't know about parrallels but have you looked on the Garmin site for MAC products? http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3825 http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3697 Quote Link to comment

I just have to yank the cable out and plug it back in. I'm not sure what's getting the Garmin hung up on the Mac side, but I've never had an issue with just unplugging it despite the dire warnings of imminent doom and gloom that pops up every time I do so. I'm using VMWare Fusion btw. Quote Link to comment
+Lightning Jeff Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Same problem here (and unfortunately, Garmin's current Mac offerings do not replace MapSource). I've found that if Parallels is set to ask about connecting to USB devices, I need to hit "Yes" the instant the message pops up, or else OS X "grabs" the Colorado. Once that happens you have to disconnect and try again. If you have Parallels set to automatically connect to USB devices, then there should be no problem. Quote Link to comment
