how to initialize iphone to sync in rhythmbox or gtkpod?

[lucey24]

ive spent days figuring out how to sync my iphone 3gs firmware 3.1.3 in ubuntu 10.04. my laptop can detect my iphone, i can actually browse its folder. (i can see photos and music from my phone, i tried to paste some photos in a certain folder and went well, just in ONE folder).

i tried almost all instructions i can find on net, but nothing is working well. i even freshly installed my ubuntu, thinking that i did something wrong in my first attempt. still cant sync music and photos.

i transferred songs already to my phone using itunes in windows (on another laptop). they said that doing this can initialize my iphone, but it didnt work.

what do i do? please help! thanks!

or do i really need to initialize it? my main problem is that rhythmbox or gtkpod can not detect my phone.

I was having trouble syncing my iPhone 3g running 4.0 software on lucid w/ rhythymbox. I saw the diagram in the above link and started at the top I installed libgpod-dev and everything is working hunkey dorey.
Here was my error message:
Error transferring track Error while getting peer-to-peer dbus connection: The name :1.80 was not provided by any .service files

I have precisely the same issue, and haven't been able to find an answer!

Forget it...restart of Rythmbox seems to be the fix - D'oh!

I restarted Rhythmbox and it seemed to work for a while. I tried synching over about 350 songs and, after it had worked for maybe 100, Rhythmbox froze and seemed to freeze X entirely. I was able to ssh into my computer and restart X, so at least it hadn't killed my entire computer.

Any thoughts on what could cause this?

I can't see my iphone4 listed in the left column of rhythmbox, but I just happened to open the 'Open Folder' and my iphone was listed in the quick links of my file browser. Wierd.

I selected the iphone and then it asked me to initialize it, which I did. It still doesn't list itself in the column where my ipod 3g does...
