vbox, win 7 and Itunes

Post by kokkie44 »

hey
I installed Virtualbox on Ubuntu 11.04 for one application omly, Itunes.
So i installed it in win7 in theVM but when i connect my Iphone 4 it doesn't show up in Itunes., it shows up on the Ubuntu desktop, so there is nothing wrong with the Usb port.

Anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this?

There is something wrong with the USB ports. Namely you haven't defined any to the VM for use. Read the User Manual for how to use USB devices with VB. You probably need to install the ExtPack so you have USB2 capabilities. That seems to be required for iPhones.
Read the Forum Posting Guide before opening a topic.
VirtualBox FAQ: Check this before asking questions.
Online User Manual: A must read if you want to know what we're talking about.
Howto: Install Linux Guest Additions
Howto: Use Shared Folders on Linux Guest
See the Tutorials and FAQ section at the top of the Forum for more guides.
Try searching the forums first with Google and add the site filter for this forum.
E.g. install guest additions site:forums.virtualbox.org

You solved? I have the same problem.
In Win7 the Iphone/Ipad are connected, but iTunes doesn't show in right panel.
