rhythmbox's ipod support has been broken since 11.10. The last time this worked was 11.04.
Very upsetting that an LTS release makes it out with no functional ipod support at all. None of the media managers claiming ipod support work in 12.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/711355 Title: Songs synced to iPhone 4 do not appear in iPod app Status in GtkPod iPod Manager: Confirmed Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: rhythmbox Rhythmbox seems to execute a sync with the iPhone but the new songs do not appear after syncing is complete. I tested this with OS 4.1 and 4.2 on an iPhone 4. It does see the phone's song library correctly and recognizes the right number of missing songs. One can delete songs on the phone but they are not removed from the phone's library. Banshee seems to have similar problems. It goes through an elaborate sync process including updating the database on the phone -- or so it claims. But again, nothing seems to actually change on the phone. In fact, Banshee is all confused about what is music, what is video and what is other data on the phone. I suspect that some underlying libs are broken. I have tried this with a freshly updated version of maverick 10.10 and also tried adding this repository for latest updates of libimobiledevice1 (v 1.0.4): ppa.launchpad.net/pmcenery/ppa/ubuntu . Incidentally, after adding this repository i can no longer browse the file content of the phone, all else is the same.
