[Bug 882039] Re: iPhone 4S will not sync

 

I can confirm the same problem with a 3GS running iOS 5.
Device mounts properly and displays in Nautilus and Rhythmbox. Transferring files to device does not appear to actually update the device database. This is apparently an upstream problem; libimobiledevice.org suggests that this is a known limitation of the library. See the following comment:
"14.10.2011: iOS 5 music sync has a lot of changes. Linux users who want to sponsor the required implementations feel free to donate."

Title:
  iPhone 4S will not sync

Status in “libimobiledevice” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I got a new iPhone 4S with iOS5 on it. I connectet it to Natty (with
  libimobiledevice2 1.1.0) and to Oneric (with libimobiledevice2 1.1.1).
  On both Ubuntu-Boxes the device gets recognized as it should and the
  phone shows up in Banshee and in Rhythmbox. I even could drag and drop
  music on the device, but "synchronizing"is not shown on the iPhone and
  so the msuic-App stays empty.

  Did I do something wrong? On Natty I deleted
  ~/.config/libimobiledevice, but that did not help. :-( Any
  suggestions?
