Thank you for updating this thread with your findings! I was having the same issue with my Paperwhite 2 also with VMware View client. I uninstalled the client and now my Kindle is recognized. Thanks again!

I'm glad it helped. I eventually installed a newer version of VMWare and it worked fine, but I returned the PW since it had some pinholes in it.

Yes! I have faced the same problem with you. Thanks for your hints. After I disabled all the services of VMware in Windows 7. My kindle can re-enter the usb drive mode. |

Same problem with MBA and PW2
I have the same problem with a Paperwhite 2 and a MacBook Air. It doesn't even consistently enter USB drive mode if I reboot - it seems to work if I shutdown and then plug it into the right hand side USB rather than restart with it plugged in. I've tried both ports and 2 cables. Never had a problem with the original Paperwhite. It's very annoying/disappointing - I like to download newspapers from Calibre before I head to work in the morning so I use this feature frequently.

I haven't come across this issue with my PW2 and my iMac. I hooked it up via USB three times yesterday in a span of about ten minutes to transfer some titles from calibre. It mounted every time, no reboot needed.

Amazon issued an update (5.4.2) yesterday to PW2 to add features such as Goodreads etc. No bug fixes are listed but I NO LONGER HAVE TO REBOOT TO RECONNECT ! (sorry about the shouting.) I have Vmware fully operational and have no issues since updating. See http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...deId=201307450

Good news. Glad the 5.4.2 sounds like it solved the Mac mounting issue; thanks for the updates.
