Connect/disconnect USB

Is there an API to connect/disconnect a USB device to the host/guest?

I don't see no function definition for such a case of use in the API... it is "mission critical", so I thought I'd ask.

No vmware employee confirms that they don't or don't not exist?

There is no API avaiable for the connect/disconnect USB VIX SDK operation.

-Thank you

Sevin.

  • No Notification sound when the connection/disconnection of USB device

    Hello

    I am running Windows 7 on a separate partition on a 2011 MacBook Pro (installed via Boot Camp).

    This laptop has two USB ports on the left side.

    If I connect/disconnect a USB device to the port more back, I get the notification sound as usual.

    However, if I log out these same devices to the port further there is no notification even if the devices are recognized & seem to work fine.

    Can anyone tell how to enable notification of this port please?

    John,

    Thank you for your response.

    The sound scheme has already been set to "Windows default", but just for good measure, I changed it but it made no difference.

    As mentioned be notified when you use one of the ports USB, but not the other.

    I posted this in an Apple forum & other users of this machine & installation are reporting the issue even if it seems to be a generic hardware problem & not just something on my own system.

    See you soon.

  • Problem with disconnecting USB 3.0 HDTB110EK3BA

    Hello

    have a problem that my Toshiba HDTB110EK3BA 1 TB disconnect USB 3.0. The drive to disconnect after 5-10 Minutes.
    USB 2.0 I have no problem.

    Any proposed solution.

    Running W7 64-bit system

    Best regards
    Duce4711

    Your Toshiba external HARD drive HDTB110EK3BA supports the USB 3.0 standard and should work just fine in USB 3.0 port.

    But as you say; the HARD drive works fine in USB 2.0.
    That's why I think that there is a problem with the HARD drive but with the USB 3.0 port.

    Maybe the USB 3.0 driver should be updated?
    In some cases, windows would have turned off the USB devices connected in order to safe.

    This setting can be disabled by:
    Device Manager-> USB game controllers, sounds-> USB hub / properties-> tab power management controller

    Option: leave the device connected to a safe food supply system should always be disabled.

  • Eternal HDD PX1266E - 1 25 retains the connection/disconnection

    I have an external HARD drive, type PX1266E - 1 25, that no longer seems to connect with my laptop.

    Until yesterday, everything worked fine, but then I started to hear the connect/disconnect sounds windows all the time (a first, later others and repeated all the 1-3 minutes approximately).

    They disappear when I remove the cable of the USB ports on my laptop HARD drive.

    If I look at computer Magement - Device Manager - Universal Serial Bus Controllers, I see that whenever I hear the sound connect, Device Manager refreshes and a new item "USB Mass Storage Device" appears between 4 'Intel (r) 82801 DB/DBM USB Universal Host Controllers"and 4 'root USB Hubs' already contained. When I hear the noise of the disconnection, the USB MSD disappears again.

    Following some comments I found on the web, I've uninstalled all the USB controllers and restarted, to clean, but that made no difference.
    If I right-click on the MSD line for the short period that it is visible and select uninstall, then reboot, my computer laptop actuall does not see the external hard drive (the balloons found new hardware USB 2.0 CD + HD and found new hardware USB Mass Storage Device appeared), but the drive is not really recognized (he normally stood like a G (: hard drive).
    Sometimes I get an error message as well after you have uninstalled the drive and when it is reviewed by the PC (a third balloon indicating that a problem occurred during hardware installation. Your new hardware might not work properly), but that only seems to happen if after uninstalling, I don't not yet restarted, but at the same time the HARD drive went through his routine to disconnect/connect again.

    Any suggestions on what I can do?

  • Pendrive keep connection / disconnection

    Hello

    I recently bought a computer Satellite L655D - 12 p and I have a Sony USB (USM8GL).

    The problem is that my key connects to the PC, then disconnects, reconnects etc... and continue to do the same indefinitely every 5 seconds.

    I don't understand why the 2 media do not work properly. They seem to work well independently:

    -My USB (USM8GL) work well on XP, Vista and 7 other than mine
    -My sister have the same model of USB (USM8GL) and it's the same question. Good for XP, Vista and 7 other than mine.
    -J' have another key (Sony Microvault 4 GB) which works well on my PC (and others of course).

    It seems that something is wrong. Maybe a program that is not activated.
    I of course looked a bit on the internet but I have not found anything.

    Once, I managed to work the two media. I managed to change the key letter in the 'computer' (:--> H L: for example). I had to do it very quickly because the key prevents the connection and deconnecting every 5 seconds.
    But I do not know why it stopped working after about 10 tries.

    Then, of course, I would like you help me. What can I do to fix this? It's really annoying...

    Thank you

    In my view it is not that you can do about it. Either it works or not.
    Always is it that there is no special driver you need for this.

    Try to connect other USB keys for testing. Check it with SanDisK. It is the best and highest quality product. I'm 100% sure it will work properly.

    By the way: does the same thing happen on all USB ports?

  • Help! My Sansa Clip + is no longer recognized by my PC when connected by USB port!

    Reading, the latter time, ' said, 'written' only when connected. Normally, he alternates between the 'Reading' and 'Writing' when it is connected to the PC and, therefore, it USED TO BE recognized by the PC in these conditions. The device is not recognized in Windows Explorer as a device or disk as usual. I use Windows 7. The device is not recognized by Windows Media Player synchronization purposes: I can't synchronize playlists of music more.

    You try to reset by pressing the power button / stop 20 seconds does not help.

    HP lj1022 printer will not connect not not via the USB port after the installation of the new driver upgrade hp lj1020/1022 for Windows 7 (64-bit). Driver seems to install properly until the moment where he is asked to connect the USB cable. Then he hangs up. HP lj 1020 printer appears in the display to the dashboard as the default printer. Computer recognizes the printer as hp printer lj1022 but in another "device not specified Panel when and only when the printer is on and the USB cable is connected."

  • drive external hard connected via usb hub powered Time Capsule guard fall...

    Hello.

    Try using a player external 3.5 "connected via USB hub powered to my Time Capsule to serve as a backup Time Machine secondary.

    When I connect the external hard drive, it turns out, and everything seems good (Yes it is correctly formatted). I see the external hard drive in my time machine preferences panel and also the desktop browser window, etc..

    After selecting the drive hard as the second backup TM, I start TM. After a few minutes the backup fruitbodies. Audit of airport utility, the drive no longer appears in the profile of Time Capsule. I can't turn back the drive without unplugging / plugging the USB cord. I went to HD (WD green 4to) and HGST 4to - deleted both.

    What is the speaker (the box is powered)? Can you have a USB hub between the external hard drive and time capsuls? Something else?

    Just seems like something somewhere that expire, causing it to drop the connection...

    Thanks for your useful suggestions to fix this!

    Is your TC the Gen5, model AC?

    I must say that your experience is not uncommon. I tested it myself recently and was disappointed in how the poor reliability has been... Although not as bad as yours... in fact cutting in a few minutes to start a backup is ridiculous.

    What is the speaker (the box is powered)?

    Quality of the envelope varies a lot... What is it??

    If this is the typical brand X... Plug it into your Mac. is it reliable?

    Go to your control panel and dig up the actual USB chip used... I don't know if we can help on type a lot. But it helps us determine the fleas are a problem.

    I found the hard drive in the finder to mount helped... not the sparsebundle that must be mounted by Time Machine... but the disk must be mounted in the finder so that you can copy files back to him.

    I start TM. After a few minutes the backup fruitbodies.

    Check in the finder, it has created the sparsebundle and works.

    Can you have a USB hub between the external hard drive and time capsuls?

    It's our usual recommendation... but he won't always help... especially if the USB hub is another brand X...

    Note that all societies are changing USB tokens at the drop of a hat... some seller of a rival company arrives and offers them 1 c off the coast of 1 million chips it is common to spend even in the middle of a race. Even the tenors have no satisfactory fixed hardware...

    The computer has loads of memory... and may contain drivers for hundreds of different USB tokens... but the TC is a very limited amount of space and with questions if the driver is not fair.

    I started a thread for a database just now... has not progressed much.
