iPhone no longer mounting after iOS 4.2 upgrade

[Caldur06]

iOS 4.2.1 was released today. I upgraded through iTunes on a Windows machine. I had a problem that a lot of people are having though, where all of my songs are missing. So, the workaround that other people are using involves the iTunes that you normally sync your music with. Obviously I sync my music with my ubuntu, so that doesn't work.

I came home tonight and my computer isn't even recognizing my iPhone when I plug it in. So now I've got an iPhone with no music and an OS that's oblivious to it. >_<

I've heard you can rollback your iPhone "upgrades" through iTunes. Is there anything you need 4.2.1 for? I wonder if locking out non-iTunes interfaces is one of 4.2.1 "improvements".

Same issue here as well. Upgraded iPhone to iOS 4.2 on my 3G and had to 'resync' to see my music on the phone. However, since then the phone will not connect through Rhythmbox.

I am having the same problem after updating to iOS 4.2. I can not mount the iphone so I cannot copy the pictures to the computer.

Same problem with me.

[gb@ssan]

Yeah. Same here.
Ubuntu 10.10 with iOS 4.2.1.

Has anyone tried this with iphone4 with firmware 4.2.1 (upward) and successfully managed to put music ONTO it?

[Swagman]

Weve put music onto it.. and it IS there.. But as others have mentioned, The iPhones Database does not show the new song is there.

Nobody has answered that .. ALL Important issue yet.

Perhaps this issue should be spun off into its own thread ?
