[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 711355] Re: Songs synced to iPhone 4 do not appear in iPod app

[Thag]

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.

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.
