iPhone no longer mounting after iOS 4.2 upgrade

Worked here, thanks much !

I started getting the
Unable to Mount Brett's iPod
DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)
error.

Following the stuff in this thread I can now successfully mount my iPod G4 on 10.10 Linux 2.6.35-24-generic

But I still cannot get RhythmBox to recognise the device - I can see in PCMan but not in Rhythmbox.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Have you installed libimobiledevice-utils ?

I had to restart my laptop for other reasons, and did not try to mount the iPod before the reboot. Shows up okay in Rhythmbox, able to move music to the iPod or from the iPod.

The PPA solution works for me. Thank you very much.

Same here.
Thank you!!!!

Rhythmbox played my MP3s off my iPhone4 flawlessly after adding this PPA to software sources. I just needed to re-enable the iPod plugin in Rhythmbox and, presto! "iPhone 4" appeared in the left-pane list

Well, do you know how to move files around with the terminal? Extract the zip up there and change the directory to the extracted archive's folder in terminal (cd ~/Downloads/libimobiledevice-1.0.4/, presumably). Then move both files to /usr/lib as root (sudo mv * /usr/lib/), and rename the old lib so it's not unintentionally used, also as root (sudo mv /usr/lib/libimobiledevice.so.1.0.3 /usr/lib/libimobiledevice.so.1.0.3.old), and that's it, no reboot or anything.

Edit: This is now moot. 1.0.4 is now in the repos.

Many thanks, it worked perfectly.

I am too noob for that last post, i don't know how to move files around with the terminal and I am sort of lost now since I have been trying to get this to work so long with so many upgrades and version changes and stuff.

Right now I get the camera icon, and I can transfer photos from the iphone 3gs 4.2.1 to the computer ubuntu 10.04 but can not copy anything to the iphone.

As far as i know from all the threads everything is up to date?

idevice commands do not work in the terminal and I never got ipheth-utils pairing to work, I got fatal errors.

Will it work in windows if it's jailbroken? I just tried my son's jailbroken phone on Ubuntu and got the same result. (nope, just tested it, same result, pics only and only one way.)

Thanks

I'd really like it to work in Ubuntu. Help!

Actually it works in winblows with phone disk. The trial period expires in 8 days. It's only 20 bucks. If this is what I have to do, I'll do it.

Tried everything to no avail.

Also, the computer does not see iPod at all.

[fattyz]

I found a free app called discover that lets me transfer files between the computer and phone. (WiFi i guess) Works in winblows but have not tried it ubuntu yet. Sadly, I'm making more progress in winblows.

Step-by-step workaround

Add the ppa to your repos

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pmcenery/ppa

then update and upgrade your packages

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

That worked for some people,
if it DIDN'T for you, install libimobiledevice-utils

sudo apt-get install libimobiledevice-utils

and then run from the command-line

idevicepair unpair
idevicepair pair
idevicepair validate

Worked for me. Thank you!
