Hi all,
Thanks for your patients and help so far. I have a solution to the problem that many customers have been seeing. One thing that can prevent Fusion USB support from working is having non-standard permissions on the root partition of your OS X install.
You can check if you have non standard permissions by opening a terminal and running:
"ls -ld /"
You should see output like this:
drwxr-xr-x 53 root wheel 1870 Aug 4 12:43 /
If the permissions are different than above you can reset them using the following steps (for Fusion 3.1.3):
1) Shutdown Fusion.
In a terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
2) Run "sudo -s"
3) run "chown root:wheel /"
4) run "chmod 755 /"
5) Reboot
6) Start Fusion and try connecting a USB device.
Pleas post if this does or does not work for you.
Thanks!
Aaron
