hi, common problem, but a hard one to solve: ipod doesn't work. i have tried everything and anything...
the ipod appears on my screen (actually on my left dock as: "ipod" and "documents on ipod" - both have an ipod icon, so i assume the system reads them correctly)
However, there is just now way to put music or read music or sync it with any of these programs:
BANSHEE: only reads the documents in my ipod, can't seem to load the ipod, let alone transfer any music or sync. no error message.
CLEMENTINE: reads the ipod but doesn't transfer any music), error message: Unsupported checksum type
AMAROK: (doesn't read it at all)
GTKPOD: a complete failure..doesn't even open, it starts opening the program, asks me to select the ipod (model xc540 in my case) then it goes blank and stays like that.
error message 1: Import Repository Errors. Errors created during repository import
error message 2: Newly mounted iPod at '/home/supermiao/.gvfs/MeowPod Touch' appears to be already loaded!
RHYTHMBOX: doesn't transfer any music on the device. no error message. it starts syncing the ipod and it stays like that forever. the cpu/fan starts going crazy if i unplug the ipd, no music on it.
This is what I am using:
ipod touch 4g, with newly installed 5.0.1 OS (unjailbroken yet)
ubuntu 11.10 - 64bit
kernel 3.0.15
libimobiledevice 2 and all related libraries (just updated)
updated ifuse
all plugins for music players are updated and active.
i installed and update any possible library related to ipod touch, read all the advice i could handle... but nothing works.
tricks like
"idevicepair unpair && idevicepair pair"
do not work as well
i am really lost.
any suggestion?
thx a million
