Re: Connecting usb devices in vmware fusion.

2018-01-05 Thread Nickus de Vos

Hi
Yesterday I suddenly had the same issue, running the latest version of Fusion 
and OS 10. I had to shut down my virtual machine, restart my Mac and then I 
could Connect a USB device again. So this seems to be a bug, but at least it 
can be fixed with the quick restart of everything.

2018-01-04 Thread Anders Holmberg

Hi!
What version of fusion are you running?
DO you happen to be in the Hi Sierra beta program?
If the later is yes there seem to be a bug with usb and vmware.
I can also recommend the vmware knowledge base which is quite informative.

2018-01-03 Thread E.T.

   Are you running Fusion 10.1? That is when I noticed issues. Ok I 
just downgraded to 10.0.1 and things look good. Will test again after a 
reboot of the Mac.

Hi Anders,

Just check before anything else,

Is the mac os picking up on the USB device,
If so have you ejected it from the mac os,

What I mean is check in your mac finder for the USB device and then command e 
to eject it but don't pull it out
Try adding it to your VM,

I know I had to do that with my vm's both fusion and virtual box.

I would like to have the braille display and a harddisk connected but it can’t

Do i have to add them manually in windows?

Re: Connecting usb devices in vmware fusion.

2018-01-02 Thread Andrew Lamanche

I’m just having a similar issue with my usb super drive.  I wanted to install 
something from a CD, I plugged my superdrive into my macbook pro and had to add 
virtual something or rather to my VMWare via settings but Windows still doesn’t 
recognise the drive and I can’t use it.

Re: Connecting usb devices in vmware fusion.

2018-01-01 Thread E.T.

   This had not been am issue until Fusion 10.1 then even with the Mac 
seeing the drives, Fusion did not see then. The simple fix as you say is 
just eject the drives from the Mac then reconnect after the VM is running.

Hi Anders,

 Just check before anything else,

 Is the mac os picking up on the USB device, 
If so have you ejected it from the mac os,

 What I mean is check in your mac finder for the USB device and then command e 
to eject it but don't pull it out 
Try adding it to your VM,

I know I had to do that with my vm's both fusion and virtual box.

Re: Connecting usb devices in vmware fusion.

2017-12-29 Thread Mike Arrigo

I have not used fusion for a while, but when I did, I used to set it to 
always connect USB devices to the virtual machine. The reason I did it 
this way was, I would only have fusion open if I was using windows for 
something, so that's where the USB device should go. I always had the 
virtual machine shut down and fusion closed when I was not using 
windows for something, so USB devices would always connect to the mac 
in that case anyway, I think this set up is probably the easiest.

Original message:

Anders, are you running Fusion version 10? Seems the 10.1 version
broke this. I have mine set to Ask what to do, then with the drive
disconnected from the Mac, booted the VM then connected the drive and I
got the dialog to connect the drive. Try that.

But there is a button to remove the usb controller which i’ve tried to

I would like to have the braille display and a harddisk connected but 
it can’t be done as there seems to be no usb devices.

Do i have to add them manually in windows?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Connecting usb devices in vmware fusion.

   Disconnect the USB drives from the Mac then reconnect them and see 
if that works. If the drives are visible on the Mac, then go to the menu 
bar, Virtual Machine, scroll down to USB devices and find your drive in 
the sub menu and press enter on the drive to connect it.

Re: Connecting usb devices in vmware fusion.

2017-12-29 Thread Jonathan Cohn

I was wondering if perhaps disk drives were only connected to the Mac much
like keyboards, but this is not the case. There is a checkbox when choosing
where to connect a USB device that says don't ask me again. Did you
perchance click this at some point?
