a) Do not post in bold and all caps. It's not polite. At all.
b) Search Google. If you don't find an answer for "VirtualBox USB device busy" please post again.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Well that's strange, because I know for a fact it's been discussed hundreds of times at least.

General USB problems, though like the current thread may not use accurate phrasing.

And those which do use the specific phrase "busy with a previous request".
