Description:
I experienced Virtualbox 4.3.14 as broken, when I tried to sync an iPad2 with iTunes running on a XP SP3 guest. It's only tested with USB2 enabled, since it worked with 4.3.12.

Additional info:
4.3.14-1 and 4.3.14-2
This task depends upon

Works fine here. We'll need a lot more information.

There isn't an issue for the USB mouse, but data transfer between VBox and an iPad2 is broken when I use 4.3.14. There aren't issues anymore, after I downgraded all packages to 4.3.12. The whole performance of Vbox is slower when syncing iTunes and an iPad with .14 and there are many unknown errors and timeouts, if you e.g. try to install 20 applications or more from iTunes running on the VBox guest to an iPad. Disconnecting the iPad's USB causes VBox to crash, if it is done without unchecking the iPad in VBox's devices menu, this doesn't happen when using .12.

The used packages are virtualbox, virtualbox-host-dkms, virtualbox-extension-pack and I install the guest additions that fit to the installed version of virtualbox. Perhaps the culprit isn't the package virtualbox, it might be the package virtualbox-extension-pack, since it's needed for USB2 support.

What else info do you need?

You could try to remove the oracle extension or install it correctly, without the underground way of virtualbox-extension-pack. That could help to remove the extension from the equation.

In both case, the issue seems to not be package related and you should report that upstream.
