Re: [ubuntu-uk] iPhone software....
Hi everybody, I just wanted to say sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I wanted to be sure I had done verything I cuold to get this working before I posted. Not had much success to get it working on Karmic, I can get Rhythmbox to see the phone, but I cant get anything else to work. The icon that is supposed to appear on the desktop doesnt appear. Tried everything to get it to work, but I just dont understand enough of what is being asked, to attempt to try anymore. On my notebook, which has Lucid on it, it seems to work out of the box, I didnt have to install anything. The only problem is, I have music on the netbook, but it needs to be converted to whatever iPlayer works with, and dont know how to get that to work. I did watch part of the video, which I really appreciate by the way, that was very helpful, and will watch it all as soon as I can. Is there any way to convert in Ubuntu? Thank you for all your help, I really appreciate it.

Hopefully for a novice to install. Hi John, I doubt that you will very find much available for the iPhone that works on Ubuntu. The more I see of Apple and their products the more I dislike them. They make Microsoft look quite friendly in terms of lock-in and closing-off opportunities to develop and explore. It is a constant battle of reverse engineering just to get music players to talk to each successive generation of iPod and their app store has very stringent terms. The iPhone is effective controlled and owned by Apple, not you. They can remove apps, lock-it down (and probably worse) without your consent. It might look nice and work well but I value freedom. I'm sure Google will throw up some stuff if you look for it but Apple are really *not* very friendly to the FOSS world. We are looking at getting some new smartphones for our company - they will be Android based. The iPhone is banned.

The nice little bot in our irc channel says:- 08:53:08 popey !iphone 08:53:09 ubot4 For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod As I understand it on Ubuntu 10.04 you will be able to sync music to your iPhone using the default music player Rhythmbox. However there's other features of iTunes on Windows/OSX for which there is no replacement on Ubuntu at the moment. Cheers.
