Parallels Desktop - "Network initialization failed, Unable to connect to the USB" Error

Parallels - Network Error

Parallels is a handy tool in iOS to use other Operating Systems on MAC as virtual machines. However, you can face some hurdles and pitstops during the operations. Like "Network initialization failed" and "Unable to connect to the USB"

There is a simple and easy way to fix that, which is described below:

Open Directory /Library/Preferences/Parallels/

Copy files network.desktop.xml and dispatcher.desktop.xml to desktop

1. Fix the "Network initialization failed" error of the network connection

  • Open the file network.desktop.xml  in editing mode
  • Search for UseKextless, 
    • If found, then modify this line to <UseKextless>0</UseKextless>
  • If there is no such attribute, 
    • add <UseKextless>0</UseKextless> after <IPv6Enabled> line

2. Repair the "USB device cannot connect" error

  • Open the file network.desktop.xml in editing mode
  • Search for UsbvirtualDisks, 
    • Below that change <Usb>0</Usb> to <Usb>1</Usb>

3. Finally, drag the two edited files back to /Library/Preferences/Parallels/ directory and replace the original files. 

4. Then open Parallels Desktop
