As I already pointed out, I tried to upgrade iOS of an iPad 2 by
USB. I don't listen to music by crappy lossy codecs, anyway, using an
USB mouse and transmitting an app, a PDF or text file, a few pics does
work, but could also require a restart of the host. Everything
works fine after downgrading virtualbox. I'm not the only one and it's
not the first package that is broken and btw. I don't use any DRM crap
and I dislike Apple myself, I won the iPad, however, the USB issue is
_not_ caused by Apple, virtualbox is broken. You should read all threads
about this issue and you should read them completely instead of
guessing.
