(After that), What still does not work under Fusion 11 (w/ the same VM that did work under fusion 8.5) was connecting a USB 3 flash drive to the USB 3 internal hub in my MacBook Air. That part basically works as it did when I started this thread. What do I need to do to get my USB 3 flash drive recognized properly in Win7 on an internal hub - just like it was working properly under Fusion 8.5 pre-upgrade to Fusion 11?Īppreciate help I have done the Security and Privacy steps including re-installing Fusion 11 once, clicked "allow" and get prompted for which OS to connect the USB flash drive to using Fusion 11. How can i configure this so that the device works properly under Fusion 11 without needing to carry around an external USB hub? I've now paid VMWare twice for that privilege so would really appreciate it if i can achieve what was previously possible under Fusion 8.5. Unfortunately now my USB flash drive shows as an unrecognized device, until I plug it into an external powered USB2 hub - giving me Fusion 5 flashbacks. Finally got thru getting USB devices to appear properly with Security and Privacy settings. Then later 10.13 revs broke external displays, so I upgraded to Mojave and Fusion 11. Life was simple and good under High Sierra with Fusion 8.5 where USB 3 device worked fine on internal USB 3 ports. Thanks W_M_Dooley, your recommendation was very helpful.Super simple goal: Use a USB 3 flash drive connected to internal USB 3 port in MacBook Air inside a Fusion VM running Fusion 11 on Mojave I chose Windows and everything worked fine. I shut down VMWare then reopened it, plugged in my USB and I was asked whether I wanted to installl to Mac or Windows. Next I locked Security & Privacy in Apple Preferences to see if everything would work while locked. I left the "App Store and identified developers" checked. I returned tp the Security & Privacy pane I was not ask to approve or change anything. Everything worked, I was able backup and transfer data to and from the USB again. Under Plug In Action I chose "Ask what to do" since I use it on both the Mac side and Windows side. I plugged in my USB drive device and Fusion/Windows XP recognized it in the Virtual Machine USB & Bluetooth Settings. My external DVD writer was now showing as connected to the Mac, it was not listed before. Next I opened VMWare Fusion clicked on Virtual Machine then USB & Bluetooth. I returned to the main System Preferences page in Apple Preferences, leaving Security & Privacy unlocked. The "App Store and identified developers" was already checked before the unlocking. I opened Apple Preferences then opened Security & Privacy and unlocked it. I tried my USB drive on my laptop, which is still running VMWare Fusion 8.5.8, and it worked fine. After the install and update of VMWare Fusion 10.1.0 from 8.5.8, I also could no longer access any USB drive on Windows XP Professional. Maybe there's a simpler way, but the foregoing worked for me. It should be treated as you would expect. Now click Allow and the message should disappear. Now switch back to the Security pane and you should see a message about VMware with an Allow button. Next, start the newly installed Fusion 10 and open (but not run) a VM that normally uses USB. The reason is that the Security pane will not refresh if it is showing (Apple's bad). To allow the USB extension, first open the System Preferences, Security & Privacy pane, unlock it, and then RETURN TO THE SHOW ALL PANE. When you first open a VM (mine was Windows XP), Fusion tries to write the USB extension to disk, but it is blocked by Apple's security. I discovered this on a system running the public release of High Sierra 10.13 while installing Fusion 10.0.1 over top of 8.5.8.įusion 10 apparently does not install its USB extension until after the main installation.
