I have been given an iPhone 3gs by my sister in law as she got an upgrade. I do not have an iTunes account. I loaded the .pets on the first post into Puppy 528 and followed your instructions to set gtkpod up for an iPhone. I found that the iTunes_Control/Device directory already existed on this device and the path to it slightly different to the one given for the iPod. However all went well and I have been able to add music to my iPhone and the database seems to have been updated as the the music shows up on the phone and is playable on it. I can also play the music on it through this laptop. I have also been able to export a copy of all the music on it to my HD. I am using your gtkpod_run script from a desktop icon to startup and this is working fine but when I use "eject ipod" I see the phone syncing but it is not unmounted. If I go to mnt/ipod I can still see and access the files on the phone. I have to use
Code: Select all
fusermount -u /mnt/ipod
I also have another problem. The phone came with a lot of pictures in an album none of which I want. I could not find a way to delete them. On searching the web I found I needed an iTunes account to do this. However I found "Open photo editor" by right clicking and found I could open this album but I could not delete it. I could delete individual images. I proceeded to do this although I did not delete them all. I then used "save changes" and "eject ipod" and saw the syncing message on the phone then unmounted the phone using the above code. When I re-opened my phone and started "photos" I got an error stating that high resolution photographs had been deleted. I rebooted the phone but got the same message. When I looked at the images left in the album I found they were very low resolution images. On looking directly at the phone file system using mnt/ipod I can find the original high resolution images which can be viewed on the Puppy viewer and look normal. I also tried adding high resolution images using the photo editor. This seemed to work but again when viewed on the phone they seem to be low resolution. I am bemused by this. I thought with your much greater knowledge you might have an idea of what has happened here and how to fix it. I would appreciate any help with this. I am afraid I am a complete novice with iPhones.
Regards,
Ken.
