Error "connection of the USB device was unsuccessful.

I can't connect my USB device to the guest operating system when I use one of the USB ports on my computer.

VMware gives an error like:

The connection of the USB device has failed. The device is currently in use.

However, when I use the other USB port, the device connects successfully to the guest OS. How can I solve this problem?

My host OS is Windows 7 64 bit.

I doubt that it will have nothing to do with the SD/MMC.

This could be useful. I wrote and published a few days ago.

    His salvation,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    1. What are the troubleshooting steps you have tried so far?
    2. If it works much earlier? If so, did you do changes on the computer before this problem?
    3. What type of USB device you are using?

    As you mentioned that the USB device does not work when plugged into a WinXP machine, it may be a problem with the device itself. In addition, the question may also arise if the currently loaded USB driver has become unstable or damaged or if your PC requires an update for problems that could conflict with a device USB and Windows.

    Therefore, I suggest you try the following methods (skip the ones that you already tried) and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Please try the fixit (s) provided below which will help you solve common problems associated with devices and USB ports.

    If method 1 does not work, try Method 2.

    Method 2:

    Remove and reinstall all USB controllers.

    1. Open Manager devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. In the list of the categories of equipment, locate and expand Bus USB controllers.
    3. Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
    4. Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.
    5. Plug in the removable USB device and test to make sure that the problem is solved.

    If the problem persists, go to method 3.

    Method 3:

    This method will install the latest drivers from device to your USB device.

    1. Click the Start button, type Windows Update in the search box, and then click Windows Update in the results pane.
    2. Click find updates. When the scan finished, click optional review updates.
    3. Click the check box next to the update, and then click install updates.
    4. If you are prompted, read the license agreement, then click I agree.
    5. Follow the instructions on the screen to download and install updates.
    6. If you are prompted, restart your computer.

  • Lose the connection to the USB device

    Hi all

    I have developed an automated system that serves to calibarate lines scales. These scales are usually between 10mm and 150mm long and 0.1 mm and lower divisions. I use a camera to determine the edge/position of the divisions. A step of translating Physik Instrumente (USB) and a motor piezo high-resolution from each division. A laser Interferometer is used to measure the distance, the engines are passed (i.e. the distance between the divisions).

    In the program, I have the ability for the user to define a start time for the calibration, for example 02:00.

    My problem is from 02:00 in the morning, the computer is spent in screen/power saver mode. This leads to the stage of translation of Physik Instrumente to disconnect and causes an error that interrupts the program. In the morning, when I come back, the error is on the screen and when I press on continue the program continues as usual.

    So what I'm looking for is a way to remedy this situation. I tried without success to the following:

    Disable the screen/Power Saver - The IT Dept here mode won't let me not because several users have access to this program, they have to disable for each user.

    Disabling the power management in the usb port properties had no effect.

    I also tried a Subvi who would hover over a position on the screen in the hope that this would stop the computer into energy saving mode. Needless to say, it did not work.

    Any ideas would be appreciated,

    Thank you very much

    But it seems that your problem is in the machine, just go to sleep after a period of inactivity rather than the power management of lower level.

  • 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.

    Hello Graboots,

    Thank you for your message.  You can plug your printer on another computer, in order to exclude the possibility that the problem lies in the printer?  You can try using a different cable, for this rule as well.  Since it is a question of recognition, we remove the external devices before software troubleshooting.  Do you get anything when you plug the printer (ie. a tinkle of connection)?  Please let us know, we are looking forward to hear back on your part.
    See you soon

  • Can I delay the prompt to begin to allow the USB device to connect in time?

    Hello

    I use a guest linux 2.6 on the host of windows 7 that is running a GPS Simulator she starts and sends the GPS signal on a USB port. However, it seems to begin quickly on the USB be detected. If I stop and restart the Simulator after than the VM has started, it works fine.

    So I was wondering if I can delay the start of the virtual machine so it has time to detect the USB device first.

    Thank you

    Hi TracMap,

    Welcome to the forums.

    You can add a delay of starting your virtual machine. Manually change the configuration of your VM's VMX file and add a new line with:

    -bios.bootDelay = "xxxx".

    'xxxx' is in millisecond. During this period, the virtual machine will stay on the screen of the BIOS in waiting for an entry and then start normally.

    I hope it will work for you!

    Good luck.

    Concerning
