Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
ipod songs no longer showing up on iPod (nano) after sync
I upgraded to karmic a week or two ago, and I think (not 100% sure) this
was the first time I synced music with rhythmbox after the upgrade --
I've been syncing using rhythmbox ever since I bought the iPod about a
year ago in jaunty (the 9.04 version -- I think it was jaunty).
In either case, I have an iPod Nano 8GB (model no. A1285). I had a coupe
of gbs of music on it and went in and deleted and added a bunch of songs
earlier. When I finally tried to eject the device through rhythmbox I
got a "Device is busy" message, so I closed rhythmbox and looked around
for some other app or terminal which might be sitting on the iPod, found
none, then finally ejected by right clicking on the IPOD icon on the
desktop. The iPod shows up with "0 songs". I plug it back in and in
rhythmbox, all the songs are there as they should. So I try removing
them all, then ejecting, then pluggging back in, then adding some songs
and ejecting, but it still shows up with 0 songs.
After this, I tried Amarok but it won't find the device. I tried Banshee
but it won't find the device. The only app that finds it is rhythmbox,
but it just can't seem to make the iPod recognize the songs it puts on.
The iPod keeps saying "0 songs", whereas rhythmbox keeps saying "it's
all there".
So I deleted all files in the /media/IPOD/ folder and ejected. This
reset the device -- got the Apple logo, had to choose language etc. and
all. Plugging it back in, rhythmbox now says it wants to initialize it
and asks me to pick model and give it a name. I obediently do so and am
followed by a long wait and an error, which says that the file
".../SysInfo" is empty. I go in and fill that file in with the 16 digit
id (detailed elsewhere, for Amarok IIRC), save, eject, remount, try it
in rhythmbox and this time it looks like it's working, but rhythmbox
doesn't ACTUALLY change the name even though it asks me for one (it
still goes "iPod"). I try to put one song on, eject it, but nothing
shows up. "0 songs".
I reformat the IPOD from the desktop, eject it, get the "choose
language" stuff again, plug it back in, try adding one song to it, eject
it, and still "0 songs".
