WinXP in Virtual BOX PUEL + iPhone 3G

[peterlauri]

Is there anyone here who have gotten that combination to work? I love my iPhone 3G, but would like to have all the iTunes and stuff under Windows.

When I connect the iPhone the WinXP detects the camera inside of it, and that the iPhone is connected. But the iTunes doesn't detect it somehow.

Please help, I'm getting desperate

There is a bug in virtualbox preventing this from working:

It should be possible to do with vmware though.

I was able to get my iPhone to sync. My setup:

Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)
VirtualBox 2.0.2
iPhone 3G (Software version 2.1)

I followed the steps mentioned in the thread on the virtualbox website

In particular, I did this:

sudo apt-get build-dep linux-source-2.6.24
sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.24 build-essential
tar -jxvf /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24.tar.bz2
cd linux-source-2.6.24/drivers/usb/core
perl -pi.bak -e 's/16384/131072/' devio.c
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ M=`pwd` modules
strip --strip-debug usbcore.ko
sudo install -m644 -b usbcore.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/core
sudo depmod -ae
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo reboot

I will have to give this a try.. I have a 2g phone.... I don't want to keep a windows box just to sync my phone.. I only use the xp vm for some stuff for work and trying to sync the phone..

I used a script from this site after much trial and error following the above instructions. Go to the above referenced site, scroll all the way to the bottom, and check out a post from huanix. use the link to his site and run the script he created. after a reboot my phone synced up just fine. Hopefully this continues to stay working, this is the only reason I still use Windows

EDIT:

I can't seem to transfer music manually to my iphone. It syncs, just not manually. Anyone else having this problem. If so, how did you overcome it or have I done something wrong???
