I have the latest VirtualBox. I have filters for the iPad. But it does not show up in my virtual Windows vista My Computer screen or virtual iTunes. When I try to right click the little USB icon and select it it says

it failed because the device is busy with a previous request
Result code: E_INVALIDARG (0X80070057)
Component: HostUSBDevice
Interface: IHostUSBDevice {173b4b44-d268-4334-a00d-b6521c9a740a}
Callee: IConsole {515e8e8d-f932-4d8e-9f32-79a52aead882}

Any help is greatly appreciated

Note: running 64bit Windows Vista Virtual on a 64bit Windows Vista (Home Premium)

EDIT: my iPad is in recovery mode, maybe why it can't be seen in virtualbox? Also my host is running Zonealarm firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials. In addition the guest has AVG antivirus. Could those programs conflict with virtualbox?
