iPhone 6 doesn't show up in Windows guest

Hello,

I have a Linux host and I'm trying to get my iPhone to work. I have installed a Windows guest, installed the Guest Additions and selected my iPhone in the USB settings.

However, the iPhone is not visible in the guest. I indeed get a sound feedback from Windows guest and my iPhone goes crazy doing the charging-sound 10 times in a row.

I do not get a disconnect sound feedback. But the iPhone remains not visible in Windows.

I looked at the log and I didn't find any problem. I was trying to reconnect my iPhone a lot of times.

Code: Select all

You don't have the Extension Pack installed, so the guest only has access to USB 1. Get the EP runing and you can use USB 2 & 3 (Windows 10 has support for USB 3, which is better supported in Virtualbox also, even if you only have physical USB 2 ports.)

FWIW you have all four physical host cores available in the guest. Windows 10 will run better on just two cores, unless you have specially installed parallel-processing software in the guest. (Your processor is 4-core hyperthreaded. The OS's cheat and show you eight cores, but there's really only four there, and Virtualbox doesn't benefit from the hyperthreads.)
