The device will be disconnected from the virtual machine, and the mark against the device will
disappear while the device will stay in the list - now it can be used in Mac OS X. When you
unplug the device, it will disappear from the list.

If the Connect USB device automatically option in the USB Options (page 188) tab is turned off,
to connect a USB device to the VM do the following:
Plug in a USB device into your Mac.
Click the USB controller icon
in the status bar (or choose USB from the Devices menu)
to display the list of all USB devices available on your Macintosh computer.
Choose the desired USB device in the list and click it to connect. The device will appear on
the list with a check mark.
Note that only 8 USB 2.0 devices can be connected simultaneously.
To disconnect any USB device from the virtual machine and make it available in Mac OS X:
Choose USB from the Devices menu.
Select the USB device with the mark in the list.
Connecting a Microphone
A USB microphone appears in the list of USB devices connected to your Macintosh computer
(in the Devices -> USB menu and in the shortcut menu for the USB controller (
) but it should
be connected by the guest OS means (only then it will be visible to your guest OS).
Connecting Shared Folders
If shared folders are enabled in your virtual machine configuration, you can connect or
disconnect a particular shared folder or all shared folders at once.
Note: If the shared folders are disabled, shut down the guest OS first, then enable the Shared
folder in the Configuration Editor (select the Enabled check box on the Shared Folders Options
(page 168) tab) and start the virtual machine.
To connect or disconnect a shared folder, do one of the following:
From the Devices menu; select Shared Folders, then select the appropriate folder from the
list of folders defined in the virtual machine. If the selected folder had no a check mark (was
disconnected), a check mark will appear against its name, indicating that the folder becomes
connected. To connect or disconnect all folders at once choose Connect All or Disconnect
All.
Right-click the shared folders (
) icon on the status bar to display the shortcut menu.
Choose the appropriate shared folder from the list or choose Disconnect All or Connect All.
