I am also experiencing the same problem: Ubuntu 8.04, VirtualBox 1.6.0. Would be nice to be able to sync my iPod touch using VirtualBox, as I no longer have any Windows computer at home.

Did you enable the USB 2 controller in VBox? If not, turn it on and try again.

I can confirm that bug exists for me too. Also, I noticed that some time ago VMware team managed to fix similiar bug in their VM:
http://communities.vmware.com/thread/91715?tstart=0&start=135 (last 3 post on the page).
So it's doable :).

FYI: I re-tested against last released version (1.6.2) and the bug still exists. Thank you for your attention.

having similar issues with 1.6.2 on Debian lenny and a Windows XP guest. USB generally work, but not for iPod touch. I saw Windows detect it once or twice, but it never got recognized by iTunes.

Replying to frank: I think you mean "iPod Touch not recognised by iTunes unless in recovery mode."

Newest Itunes 8.2.1 and latest virtualbox 3.0.2 doesn't allow for syncing/restore with ipod touch in recovery mode
comment:16 by , 15 years ago
I'm using virtualbox 3.0.4 and latest itunes and I get the same error (can't sync my ipod touch in recovery mode).
comment:17 by , 14 years ago
I'm having the same issue. iPod Touch works with iTunes 9.02 to sync and backup unless it's in recovery mode. I tried upgrading to the latest iTouch firmware and can't because I can't get the USB device recognized (since it needs to use recovery mode for upgrades.)
Crunchbang Linux (Juanty debian) VirtualBox 3.1.6 r59338 Windows XP Home SP3 iTunes 9.02 (Since no version after 9.02 works in VirtualBox)

I found a fix. I got it working I followed instruction 2 & 3 from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=970628&highlight=iphone
2. Configure Ubuntu for VirtualBox-2.0
Add yourself to the vboxusers group
Code:
sudo gpasswd -a `whoami` vboxusers
Startup vboxdrv module on boot by appending it to /etc/modules
Code:
echo "vboxdrv" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
3. Usb Filesystem fix
Get the vboxusers group id
Code:
cat /etc/group | grep vboxusers
Quote:
vboxusers:x:128:spirit
Edit /etc/fstab to add these two lines and replace the devgid with the vboxusers group id
Code:
#usbfs for virtualbox
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=128,devmode=664 0 0
