| 3 | | *unmount your usb device(s) from your mac. but leave it connected to the Mac |
| 4 | | *install the extension pack - https://www.smarthomebeginner.com/install-virtualbox-extension-pack-on-linux-windows/ |
| 5 | | *and enable USB 3 (for new USB 3 devices) in settings of virtual box [ under ports - usb ] . there you should c 3 entries for USB (1, 2 & 3) |
| 6 | | *in that same section - look at the filters section. this is essentially telling what usb devices to start with your vm. & just choose your usb device |
