I downloaded the Solaris11_vbox operating system and I found out that the Guest additions was automatically installed. I tried to attach USB devices but the Solaris11 did not sense either of them . By the way also the extension pack was installed successfully . My VB is 4.1.2.
Any explainations .

Re: USB devices with Solaris 11
The guest additions have nothing to do with USB. Also, I'm not aware of any Solaris version that ships the VirtualBox guest additions as part of it.
Please provide more information as to which host you're using, the VM's VBox.log when you try to attach a USB device to the VM, which guest you're using (uname -a output from the guest).
