iPhone 6s not connecting to mac osx Sierra on Vmware - iphone

I am trying to connect my iPhone 6s (10.3.2) to mac osx Sierra (10.13) running on Vmware.
I have changed the USB controller to USB 2.0 and have enabled all three options.
Vmware sees Apple iPhone in devices list, but without any success once I am pressing Connect (Disconnect from Host). Moreover, once I unplug my iPhone from USB cable, it restarts. This behavior happens each time I try to connect it to mac osx (on vmware).
Has anyone come across with this strange behavior, and if so, did you find any solution?
Thanks.

I cannot agree with the selected answer as using Windows 10, VMware 12.5.7 with High Sierra 10.3, iPhone 5s with iOS 11.0.3 and a generic cable it recognizes the device. See the images below.
However, it did not work with Ubuntu 16.04, VMware 12.1.1 (also 12.5), Sierra 10.12.6 (also High Sierra 10.13), and the same iPhone.
I am not sure if it is Ubuntu compatibility issue with VMware/MacOS/iOS. If someone knows, please let us know.
Tip for Windows 10:
1. Scroll to the right and type 'Power Options' in the search field and click on it.
2. Click 'Change plan setting' on your chosen plan.
3. Click 'Change advanced power setting' on your chosen plan.
4. Find 'USB settings' and open.
5. Find 'USB selective suspend setting' and change it to disabled.
In VMware:
- Change USB settigns from 3.0 to 2.0. Also select 'Show all devices'.

It works, however you need to edit your .vmx file. When connecting your iDevice to the host, write down it's vendor id and product id.
Then open your virtual machine's .vmx file, and add the following line:
usb.quirks.device0 = "0xvid:0xpid skip-reset, skip-refresh, skip-setconfig"
Replace vid and pid with the digits of the values of your device. Then reboot your VM, focus on the VM and connect your iDevice.

After long searching and googling for the solution, I came to conclusion that Sierra does not recognize Apple devices connected through USB to virtual machine.

Vmware and Virtualbox issues with iphone device

Yo,
Anyone here use a VM (VirtualBox or VMware) and code on MacOS Catalina 10.15.x or Big Sur as guest ? Personally, I can't connect my iphone to xcode 11 and 12 (Iphone 5S: ios 14.4).
I tried multiple fix from the forum, as change the vmx file (skip-reset, skip-refresh, skip-setconfig" with the right pid and vid), set USB device to 2.0 (in VMware and VirtualBox), upgrade the IOS, but nothing was successful for now. However, the iphone is recognized and listed in the System information but nowhere else.
Somebody here have the same config and can use his iphone ? Had you do something in particular ?
Edit: The host is Windows 10
The only solution i found is to install "Catalina" and only Catalina, on VMware (with usb 2.0 of course). Don't use virtual box. Don't upgrade to big sur on Vmware lol. peace

Windows Visual Studio 2019 doesn't detect iphone XR iOS 13.4.1

I'm new to xamarin. I wrote a simple "Hello World" app using VS 2019 on Windows 10 which runs successfully on the emulators. I have an iMAC on my network and it is successfully connected to my Windows visual studio on Win10 machine. No update warnings or mismatch version error message(s) during the paring of the Windows VS to the remote iMac. On my list of emulators, I have a long list of emulators and "Remote Device" option. All in all, all is well when I work with the emulators.
Now, when I connect my iPhone XR (iOS 13.4.1) using USB to my VS 2019 on Win10, the expected result would be that my device would show up along side of all the emulators so that I can deploy to the device for debugging. My first question is whether or not that is the right assumption. If it is, then in my case that doesn't happen. When I start iTunes program on my Windows machine, it has no issues connecting to my iphone (I can do backup, restore, etc.). Interestingly, in VS, the Device Log has no issues connecting to the connected iphone either. My phone is listed on the drop down box on the top left hand corner of the screen. At this point, I can only assume that is not a connection issue.
What I'm left with is some kind of mismatch setting on VS 2019 in Win10 or on my connected iphone that is causing VS 2019 on win10 not seeing my usb-connected iphone. Any ideas what setting I should fiddle around with? Thanks in advance.
First option, you need to connect iPhone over USB on Mac device , then you can debug in iPhone device .
Second option ,If Mac device not always around you , you also can connect to iPhone device Over Wifi .
An important part of the developer workflow is deploying to a device. Xcode 9 introduced the option of deploying to an iOS device or Apple TV through a network, rather than having to hardwire your devices every time you want to deploy and debug your app. This feature has been introduced in Visual Studio for Mac 7.4 and Visual Studio 15.6 release.
This guide details how to pair and deploy to a device over the network : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/deploy-test/wireless-deployment?tabs=windows
Ok, so what you need to do is select "Debug|iPhone" or "Release|iPhone" from the build configuration menu.

Android 2.1 Superpad Tablet: can't connect Eclipse ADB to Superpad USB port

I am developing an Android app for a class I'm taking. I've been using the emulator to date. I know what to see if it runs on the real HW.
My PC runs Windows 7. I downloaded the latest google/Android USb driver. I have enabled the USB Debugging feature on the tablet already. When I plug the tablet into the PC via USB, the PC doesn't seem to see the tablet at all.
What do I need to do to get these two devices to see one another.
thanks,
wk
HI, I'm using superpad 3, and just have adb connection over ethernet, all you need is type cmd: "connect your.pad.ip" and then Eclipse will see your device.

Eclipse Doesn't Recognize my Android Device

I have the samsung galaxy tab, when I plug it into to eclipse to run and debug my apps. Eclipse doesn't recognize the device. When I try it with my friend's Droid 2 it still doesn't work. Can someone please help me?
If you are developing with Windows, you might need to install the USB driver for our device. For Windows 7, here's how you do it:
To install the Android USB driver on Windows 7 for your device:
Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port.
Right-click on Computer from your desktop or Windows Explorer, and select Manage.
Select Devices in the left pane.
Locate and expand Other device in the right pane.
Right-click the device name (such as Nexus S) and select Update Driver Software. This will launch the Hardware Update Wizard.
Select Browse my computer for driver software and click Next.
Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located in \extras\google\usb_driver.)
Click Next to install the driver.
Check this link for more information if you need it.
Have you tried:
Settings -> Applications -> Development - Enable USB Debugging
In android 4.2.* The “Developer Options” menu item is gone!
Answer: The “Developer Options” menu item on 4.2.* is hidden.
Goto Settings -> About Phone.
Goto “Build Number” at the end of the Scroll list.
Tap on “Build Number” repeatedly (7 times). On your third tap you should see message indicating that you only have 4 more taps to go to ‘become a developer’.
Continue: 4 more taps.
Hooray, you are now a ‘Developer’, go back to the Setting page.
You should see Developer Option menu item in your setting list now.
Open Developer Options and check USB debugging > Ok
****it's work for me****

download the samsung software Kies .it detects samsung deivces
Go to http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html and follow up
this solution worked for me
In addition to Settings -> Applications -> Development - Enable USB Debugging, click on the following option:
Revoke USB debugging authorization
And then plug the device again.
Addition to Tor-Morten's answer: Only checking the Developer setting for USB debugging may not be enough. The USB connection setting (Android 4.4: Settings -> Storage -> Option Menu -> USB computer connection) needs to be checked for either "Media device" or "Camera" before it will be shown in Eclipse's Android Device Chooser window.
Maybe its a matter of how you plugged the device onto your computer. I'm using a mac and pluged the usb into one of the keyboard slots. It doesn't find anything even you've installed Kies with all its new drivers.
After plugging it directly into one of the slots at the computer the device has been recognized imediately.
Even it is a beginner mistake....maybe it helps :)
This is a fairly common problem. You basically don't have the drivers you need for USB debugging.
There are a few different ways I've had to obtain drivers for phones. The first way you should attempt is to go into the Android SDK and AVD manager and download the Google USB driver debug package.
This may or may not give you the driver you need. If it doesn't you will have to do one of two things. One, add the device details to the driver file you just downloaded. Generally these will be posted on forums/boards discussing your phone type. Secondly, you can download a different driver from another source like the phone manufacturer.
Make sure your account has admin privileges. I installed my Motorola drivers without elevating, and although the install ran smoothly it never associated them to the device. Once I ran as admin, worked like a charm.
Ι had the same problem:
While i had activated the debugging options on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S Duos Black), eclipse couldn't find the device because the usb drivers failed to download or something and so in the Device Manager (win7) i saw only Android and CSC something, all yellow and with no installed drivers.
I tried to download the Samsung drivers manually, but this failed to work.
What REALLY worked was downloading+installing Samsung Kies, connecting my device through usb and at first it failed again to put the drivers, then i disconnected the device, pressed some troubleshooting errors button that was on the main screen (NOT the lite version, the normal one), that took some time, re-connected the device and voila, the drivers were installed successfully and both the Device Manager and eclipse recognised the device.
If you are on Linux you can try on terminal the following steps. Don't forget to have your device plugged in. Use sudo if doest work.
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices (see if device is recognized)
I had the same problem with my LG G3 phone.
I tried to re-install the driver as explained here: http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html
Nothing helped. Fortunately on the very same page I have found the link to LG firmware site: http://www.lg.com/us/support/software-firmware
So I did the following:
Connect the phone to the PC using the USB cable
Uninstalled the Google's USB driver (My Computer->Management->Devices->Portable Devices->MyPhone: uninstall)
Download driver for my LG G3 phone (LG885) from the LG site
Install this driver
Got on the phone screen request to approve the new RCA key and allow debugging.
Try to Run an Android project in Eclipse.
PROBLEM SOLVED.
I Had the same problem.
I saw that the product was correctly defined under Device Manager, but Eclispe did not show the product in the target.
The easy way was to install Samsung Kies and to see that the following command:
...eclipse\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-toolsadb\adb device
gives me some output instead of only "List of devices attached".
once it recognizes the product, use "run configuration" choosing target "Active devices" under "Launch on all compatible devices/AVD's" radio button.
still, you don't get the product on the list as expected but it works.
Good Luck!
I had the same problem on windows with my samsung galaxy device .. installing samsung kies solved the problem for me.
I had loads of problem getting this to work when I switched to a new computer.
I downloaded and installed Kies, but Windows 7 still didn't recognize my device.
My problem was the proxy my company use, Kies tries to download USB drivers in the installation, but fails silently and finishes the installation.
You might have this problem if your USB Driver folder in the installation is empty (i.e C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Kies\USB Driver).
Solution for me: install Kies without a proxy.
Unload EasyTether extension.
This worked for me - look at the part about unloading the EasyTether extension. adb not finding my device / phone (MacOS X) I was able to connect my samsung galaxy note 2 to macbook pro snow leopard.
Download new USB driver for samsung/pc connection here:
http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows
After enabling developer mode and USB debugging of course.
The phone should ask to accept the pc location as secure after USB driver upgrade.
Installing KIES did not fix the problem on my Galaxy Note 3.

Why doesn't Eclipse see my Samsung Galaxy phone even though I can transfer files using a drive letter?

I developed my first (small) Andoid application using Eclipse and are now ready to transfer it to my Galaxy S mobile device (develping for Android 2.1)
Following another thread in SE, I changed the run mode in Eclipse to manual in the hope that I would be able to chose my phone and/or AVD every time I run the program.
The popup list howerver only show the AVD, my phone is not present in the list.
So obviously, my Samsung Galaxy S device is not recognized. Howerver, I can transfer to and from the device using a drive letter, so the USB connection is working properly.
Anyone any idea what I am missing here ? I'm not sure if it is an Eclipse problem , or a driver or ....
You have to put the phone in 'debug' mode - I don't have the instructions handy (but you can search here or on the android site for the info you need)
I experienced the same issue with Eclipse on a Mac OS X. Simply putting the phone in 'debug' mode (Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging) did not solve the issue. I have to do below in the command line to solve the issue.
sudo adb kill-server
sudo adb start-server
I faced the problem of eclipse not detecting my xperia x10.I installed sony ericson PC companion, the problem is fixed now. Seems some drivers specific to the manufacturer of the device is required.
For those still looking, you don't need to install the bloat. Go to: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I535RWBVZW
Click on "Manuals & Downloads" and then "Software" under that.
I was having problems connecting to my S5 from my Linux laptop (after enabling USB Debugging) - I found this guy's post really helpful!
