Vmware Player Usb Driver Error

When I try connect USB to MAC OS X 10.10 Yosemite guest on VMware player 7 it gave me this error:

  1. The VMware Support article USB 3.0 support for Windows 7 virtual machine in VMware Workstation and VMware Fusion (2128105) lists the following conditions: The guest VM must be defined with at least VMWare Workstation 12 compatibility; In Settings, USB Controller, the.
  2. When a virtual machine is running, its window is the active window. If you plug a USB device into the host system, the device connects to the virtual machine instead of the host by default. The host detects it as a new device named VMware USB Device and installs the appropriate VMware driver.
  3. Here's a link if you get problems with connecting USB devices to VM's created by vmware workstation or player It usually says when you power on the VM that the HOST USB devices are disabled This is due to the vmware usb arbitration service not running. Powering on a virtual machine after connecting a USB device fails with the error.

Vmware Usb Controller Driver

The connection for the USB device 'name of the connected USB' was unsuccessful. Driver error.

I tried the following:

  1. reinstall VMware player
  2. delete USB filter
  3. make sure that VMware USB service is running
  4. install VMware tools on Guest

The problem was due to the connection of the wire to the usb 3.0 connector, since usb 3.0 was installed in the VMWare settings. The problem was eliminated when you connect the iphone to usb 2.0. I have resolved the issue by removing the usb hub root controller (uninstalling it) and also clean installing VMware from scratch hope this helps other people, was a nightmare to sort out. Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers. Locate the AMD USB Filter Driver. Right-click it and choose Uninstall. Click Uninstall the driver software for the device. Restart your computer; If you are unable to remove the AMD USB controller through the Device Manager, you can also uninstall it manually.

and doesn't work.

I'm using Windows 8 Pro 64 bit Host OS.

Help me with this error please.

Given the fact you mentioned a 'Yosemite guest on VMware Player 7', I have to assume you're either trying to connect to a Hackintosh VM or you meant 'VMware Fusion 7'. If it's the former, that's a very niche case and you should upgrade to Player 12. If it's the latter then your question may need a bit of editing for clarity.

If your host OS is Win8, you will not be able to run stock OSX of any version. What you're trying to do is what's called 'Hackintosh' may not be straightforward to get working. For more info, check wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

I have a VMWare Player version 6.0.0 installed on my machine since when I was using Windows 7 x64. Some time ago I updated the later to Windows 10 and when I started my Linux Ubuntu Gnome with VMWare, a problem appeared.

I have a external Samsung HD connected via USB 2.0 to my PC. Back when using Windows 7.0, when I started the Ubuntu inside VMWare this would automatically reconnect the external HD to Ubuntu and everything would work fine. But this didn't occur after the update to Windows 10: I don't remember the first message, but the external HD couldn't be connected to the Ubuntu virtual machine.

Now everytime I run the VM the external HD remains connected to the host Windows 10. Xforce keygen reddit. An icon, disabled, appears in the VMWare menu and I have the possibility to ask it to connect. When I do so, the external HD is disconnected from the host Windows 10, but fails to be connected to the VM; instead, after something like 2 minutes, a warning message appears:

I searched the web for explanations, but no comments were found for this problem for this particular situation and I can't judge if the answers for other ocasions when similar driver errors occured would work for me.

So why this error and what should I do?

Found resources:

EDIT:

After downloading a newer version of VMware Player, the device still wasn't automatically connected to the virtual machine as usual and when I tried to do it manually, I got an even worst scenario:

Vmware Player Usb Driver Error Windows 10

Everything was working fine before trying to do the connect. The 'VMware stop working' pop-up appeared right after clicking one of the 'Runtime Error' message boxes that started appearing one after the other.

You probably should try a newer version of VMware Player. As of writing, the current version is 12.0 (I wrote 8 in an earlier comment, but I got confused because VMware recently renumbered it to be in sync with the VMware Workstation version number.)

VMware Player is free for personal use, so you probably might as well upgrade. If nothing else, by running the latest version, you're much more likely to get help from VMware or from other users if you run into problems.

It's not just you, I have verified this is a VM Player Bug, or Windows 10 issue.

Vmware Usb 3

I have tested with Windows 10 RTM, also newer builds every few months after released, including Windows 10 1511 Build 10586 in March 2016. Tested with VM Player 12, also Version 12.1.0 Build-3272444.

This is a screenshot of the error, showing

Vmware Video Driver

'Runtime Error! Program: C:Program Files (x86)VMWareVMware Playervmplayer.exe R6025 - pure virtual function call '

All the tests I've done is on a clean install. No other 3rd party programs, just Windows 10 and VM Player. One time I even installed all the C++ runtime redistributables from 2005-2013, still same results without installing them.

The current solution is to either downgrade back to Windows 7 for VMPlayer.Or Switch to VirtualBox if you have to use Windows 10.

This crazy error occurs everytime a USB device is plugged / unplugged 'Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library'.
