Error message when trying to sync iPod touch 2G

[Aliceaurus]

Just installed the 10.4 update, super excited to finally be able to sync my iPod touch (2G), plugged it in, Rhythmbox recognizes it and everything, woo, all is going well... I successfully deleted everything off my ipod only to find that I get this error message when trying to put songs back on it:

Error Transferring Track
Error while getting peer-to-peer dbus connection: The name :1.82 was not provided by any .service files

Please help, someone tell me that I haven't just screwed my ipod to hell. This computer is my only syncing option right now.

(And, before you say it, I realize that it was really stupid to delete all my music before testing it first. My bad, I was a bit overexcited.)

Same exact error

Ubuntu 10.04 + Rhythmbox + iPhone 3GS w/ 3.1.3

Edit: i'm not complaining though, i love the new support. Thanks Gnome + Canonical

I have a similar problem as well when trying to transfer files to the iPod:

Error while getting peer-to-peer dbus connection: The name :1.136 was not provided by any .service files

Ubuntu 10.04, Rhythmbox and iPod Touch 1G 8GB. I have not tested to delete files yet.

So only upgrades have the problem? Sounds like a configuration file didn't get changed (or configured correctly) during the upgrade. I personally don't know which one, I don't have a iPhone or iPod Touch to test.

This sounds like a good instance to submit a bug report.

I was having the same problem until I updated my 2G itouch firmware to 3.1.3
If you're running old firmware, maybe an update will solve the issue.

I got the same error message with my iPod touch. But after I deleted ".gconf/apps/rhythmbox" it started working.

Thanks! It worked for me on my iPhone 3GS (with the newest firmware).

Edit: It is rather unstable though.

This worked for me to! Just upgraded from karmic to 10.04. Using 3rd generation 8GB Ipod Touch.

Thanks!
