Switching to USB2.0 stops keyboard and touchpad from working

Pocket_Sevens — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 01:47:59 GMT

Hello all. Looking for some guidance here.

I was able to successfully install MacOS on VMWare Workstation on a linux host. II was also able to install VMWare tools in the guest OS. I'm trying to connect my iPhone to the MacOS guest but I keep getting an error that connection was unsuccessful. After reading some logs, I noticed that some people suggested switching the USB from 3.1 to 2.0. However, when I do that, I can no longer use the keyboard and trackpad on my laptop.

Looking for suggestions to be able to connect my iPhone while keeping the keyboard and trackpad working. Thanks in advance.

It is a violation of Apple's licensing to run their OS on non-Apple hardware. We cannot help you here or VMware could get into legal trouble. Also, know that the only way to even try to run an Apple VM on Workstation is to hack the software... so you've come to a vendor's site admitting you illegally hacked their software asking for help with it!
