Title:
  [Maverick] Rhythmbox/gtkpod can't write to iPad music database

Status in GtkPod iPod Manager:
  New
Status in “libgpod” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Rhythmbox and gtkpod are currently able to fully read and write the
  iPod databases. However, though the iPad uses a very similar database,
  and is claimed to be supported by these applications (you can choose
  the xC497 model in the database setup), there are some problems
  stopping the writing to the library.

  Upon any database interaction (loading the iPad, adding music or
  videos, deleting items) a warning appears: "Unsupported checksum
  type". The iPad says that it is syncing, but no changes take effect. I
  have noticed though, that the files are correctly manipulated in the
  filesystem: deleting an item makes it unplayable (as there is no file)
  but still listed in the database. Adding an item copies the file, but
  fails to add to the database.

  After doing a bit of googling and code searching, I came across this
  thread:

  >Will the iPad (using OS 3.2) work with libimobiledevice?
  >Yes it will. We tested access and all tools work as expected. Changes are in GIT

  >So everything works?
  >Not everything. The iPad uses a “DBVersion 5″ for it’s music database and apparently

  This thread was a little while ago, but no further achievement has
  been made concerning the writing to the database.
