Answer 1

I had same issue with VMWare 12.5.2 and OS: Mac OS Sierra.
These are few steps to solve this issue:(which worked for me.)

1. Open VMWare.
2. select your OS. (Mine is MacOS Sierra)
3. Then In left hand side, Select option "Edit virtual machine settings"
4. There will be one popup of setting. In that you need to select "Hardware" Tab.
5. In that, there is option "USB Controller". Select that. You will find option right hand side.
6. In that, Set USB compatibility as "USB 2.0" and check all 3 options as selected. options must be as following: i) Automatically connect new USB devices, ii) Show all USB input devices, iii) Share Bluetooth devices with the virtual machine
7. Press OK.

There you go. It will work. Now you can power on your virtual machine.And try to connect your device with proper USB cable. Sometimes there can be issue with USB cable which are not authorized. Still if you have doubt, you can ask me here.
