Is it possible for me to use a virtual machine like VMware box on my windows laptop to connect to a device running Mac OSX? what about to an iphone? Thanks

Your question is muddled to me. While I have used VMWare to run virtual computers that can connect to other computers on the network, you didn't detail what was running in the VM on the host and what you expected to happen across the connection to the other devices.

my question was, since my laptop is running windows, i just want to know if i can create a virtual machine (using VM VirtualBox) that runs a different operating system like OSX on a computer thats not a mac. i dont need to connect to another computer(phrased the question wrong) just run a different OS(OSX) on a virtual machine while my host machine runs windows. does that make sense?
Apple is very clear about this. Your agreement with Apple is quite clear so the answer when it comes to the Apple OSes is clearly no.
There are other OSes that are not as restricted.
And if you ask me how to make it work in spite of the agreements and license that's like asking me for help in jacking a car. I can't help there.
