    Re: iPhone won't mount (iOS 4)

    Upgrading libimodiledevice to 1.0.4 fixes the issue for me. On Ubuntu Maverick and older use :

    Code:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pmcenery/ppa

    UPDATE :

    It detects the iPhone, it syncs, but nothing appear on the iPhone. however, the space is used!!! I'll investigate later. It's also worth noting that Rhythmbox disabled the Ipod plugin automatically and I had to re-enable it in the Plugins menu.

    UPDATE-2:

    Seems like libimobiledevice does not work yet for Iphone 4, Ipad, even though iOS 4.2.1 is supported. Their status is : Rhythmbox, gtkpod and Amarok sync with latest libgpod >= 0.7.90. The iPhone 4, iPad and Apple TV do NOT work. http://www.libimobiledevice.org/

    Fedora 14 (kernel 2.6.35) detects iPhone, sees files, rhythmbox plays tunes.

    When will Ubuntu?

    1. Open up synaptic

    2. Go to the Repositories (Under Settings)

    3. Add this source:

    ppa:pmcenery/ppa

    (from https://launchpad.net/~pmcenery/+archive/ppa)

    4. Click Close and then click the Reload button at the top left

    5. After it is done reloading search for:

    libimobiledevice1

    6. It will give you two results, install both.

    7. Now after installing, close synaptic and open up the terminal and type in

    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

    8. After the upgrade Ubuntu 10.04 will have iOS 4 support
    :p

    Just as an aside, the steps above seem to have solved my issues with getting my Polaroid digital camera to be recognized, as well. Prior to this, digiKam would not connect to it, but now it does. Thanks!

    Are these also the correct instructions for 10.10?

    Not sure if the above posted instructions are for 10.10 (Meerkat) but I tried it anyways and it worked for iPhone 4 (4.3 Firmware)

    Rhythmbox can only sync audio and nothing else. Also the above terminal process takes awhile , apparently it goes through every single package replacing files..... seems a lot to just get the iPhone to mount.

    I tried the above on my iPhone 3gs with 4.2.1 firmware, and it didn't work (Ubuntu 10.04). Anyone have any wisdom?

    Re: iPhone won't mount (iOS 4)

    I'm using Ubuntu 11.04, and neither my iPhone 4 (4.3.1) or my iPod touch (2g) are mounted. I plug them and got not message

    I tried using ppamcenery/ppa with no success (http://www.davidcdean.com/fix-iphone...natty-narwhal/)

    Any clue?
