When trying to attach my PolarUSB IRDA to to VirtualBox I keep getting this error. I am running leopard host and Windows xp client in VirtualBox.

Failed to Attach the USB Device SigmaTel, Inc. STIr42xx to the virtual machine WinXP.

USB device 'SigmaTel Inc, STIr42xx' with UUID {5f0763d9-9570-4380-a0e3-45dcb3fa842b} is busy with a previous request. please try again later.

Result Code NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057)
Component: HostUSBdevice
Interface: IHostUSBDevice {173b4b44-d268-4334-a00d-b6521c9a740a}

make sure after you have connected your usb device to your mac you eject it so that your guest OS has a chance to grab it. Use the virtual box usb feature to mount it. hope this solves you problem.

I have the same problem. did you manage to solve it?

got it working: clear all fields (in USB IrDA settings) but the name.

I just left the Vendor ID (VID) intact, since I own more than one adapter from this vendor, and it seemed to work.

However:
The software on the Windows XP end uses Sockets to connect to the adapter. The connection is intermittent. It works for 30 seconds or so, then drops.

There are a lot of adapters out there based on Sigmatel transceivers. I am using the Actisys IR4010U.

I am still testing, but, it seems the virtual serial port developed by the Actisys drivers is working.

Is it possible there is a problem with the sockets implementation?

Thanks. Clearing all the fields but the name field also worked for the Canon A540 in an WinXP Guest (and a Vista host).

Thank you very much. It works with removing all data as you said. Now I can use my beloved Polar CS600 bicycle computer! I am very happy!

awesome.......... i gave up lasttime i was trying to do this but now it works after removing the name data

now it fails in 3.1.4
anyone else having same problem?

back on 3.1.2 and working USB IrDA

in version 3.1.6 it seems to work again!
but still i had problems with Vista as the guest os, because the Irda-Device-Driver would be erroneous (code 39).
So i got a XP-Driver from the Polar-Homepage and now it works fine.

This solution worked well for my Polar IrDA stick until I connected my iPod and Virtualbox captured it instead of iTunes.

I tried keeping the Name, Vendor ID and Product ID of the IrDA stick and blanked out the rest. All working nicely now (with version 3.1.6).

did not work for me still get same error

Try USB-Filters.

Hello everyone. I had the same issue when trying to capture a 500gb ext usb disk (virtual box version 4.2.6) on my laptop (Toshiba L850).

I tried many of the solutions on the net with no success. The problem was solved when I attached the disk to a usb 2.0 port instead of the usb 3.0 I was trying till now.

Hope this helps someone having the same issue...
