My iPhone won't pair under VMware

I also checked the usbmuxd by "usbmuxd -f -vvvvvvvv".
I seems that the usmbuxd failsto get the iSerial.

The reason that the usbmuxd can not get serial number is Passcode.
After I turned off the passcode, the error disappeared.
But the connection is closed.
Please see the usbmuxd2.output.

Hi Kum, I'm having a similiar problem to yours with an ipad2 - I posted this to the mailing list:
I have tried this on the virtual machine, and the hypervisor software (vmware workstation 7.1.4 on host of win7 x64) sees the ipad2, as does the guest linux system.
My ipad won't "pair" or even be seen by the idevice tools

================ Need help with ipad2 (wifi only, firmware 4.3.2) and getting the idevice
tools to "recognize" the ipad2.

with the ipad2 plugged in, I use any of the commands, and I get the
"No device found, is it plugged in?"

The system can recognize the device as evidenced by dmesg:
usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=129f
usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
usb 1-1: Product: iPad
usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Apple Inc.
usb 1-1: SerialNumber:
(along with the lsusb command)

====================== I have all the libimobile libraries and the development versions
installed, and have tried both install from packages and compiling the
source code

rpm -q libimobiledevice2
libimobiledevice2-1.1.1-18.1.i586

Running openSuse 11.4, though have tried the same thing on debian with
the same packages installed and also from compiling source code

My google-fu has been unsuccessful; How do I get the idevice tools to
recognize the ipad2 is plugged in?

TIA
David
