iPhone 4s on Slack 13.37 64 bit
 

Hello all,

I am trying to get my iPhone recognized so I can use the sbopkg gtkpod and sync my iPhone 4S.

Has anyone had any success connecting an iPhone 4S and being recognized?

seems it finds it but gtkpod doesn't like the 4S selection in preferences.

the error in gtkpod is error initialising iPod: Unsupported checksum type

any thoughts?

I'd check with the gtkpod folks. It seems Slack is finding the phone ok, just gtkpod that doesn't seem to know what to do with it.

Did you see 'Similar Threads @ bottom of this page?

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ubuntu-829851/

yes i did thank you...have been going through them since I started and still no luck...but I am plodding on


Thanks for both of your replies, I at least know these are being looked at :P

I would refer you to this page: http://www.gtkpod.org/wiki/Libgpod Second paragraph under "Features".

thanks manwich i did see that, at this point a read only device would be nice...still working through the gtkpod mailings....

I have an ipod touch (4g I think) and I could never get it to work. I finally just jailbroke it, and use sshfs to put music on it.
