ios vmware update
when itunes or other 3rd party updating software runs, iphone changes back and forth it's usb identifiers. this confuses vmware and you lose connection to phone in the middle of update. to overcome this, when iphone changes usb identifiers, do this:
pause the virtual machine
restart the vmware usb arbitrator service
resume virtual machine
reconnect the removable devices -> apple iphone

otherwise you get vmware workstation unknown error when you attempt to simply reconnect the phone from 'removable devices' menu
