• use gtkpod to transfer them to the iphone

Converting Audio

• see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone
  • install ipod-convenience from ubuntu
  • Use amarok to transfer files
  • Ownership of /dev/fuse seems unclear on my box.
  • Firewire GUID was not extractable over USB, had to do it on the phone directly. See link above
  • Cover art only for full album transfers

Appearently the iPod player does not grok 320kb VBR (lame --preset studio) mp3 files, which I transferred with amarok. Unfortunately all my older PCM CDs were encoded that way. Newer ones I encoded using flac which is not supported at all.

Applications 2.0

Installer is gone and all its apps. A lot is missing. I have to figure out how to get an appstore account I think. Cydia has been ported and provides currently a limited set of application.

recommended

interesting ones (under test or partly non working)

• siphone - Voip
  • has problems with NAT.
• fring - Voip/Skype
  • SIP / Skype works,
  • Fring works as a proxy and stores your credentials (SIP passwd, etc) on the fring server. Baeh.

  • Feed Autodiscovery does not work.
  • Seems to get confused and does not show actual items.
• funambol - syncML client for iphone.

missing

• datebk6 - a real calendar. The original one is useless.
  • check out NemusSync - syncs against google calendar

backup

I am using backuppc to backup all files on the iphone with rsync/ssh. Detailed setup description will follow. Restoring of single files/directories(Ringtones and Contacts) is very convenient.

Host config file for the iphone:

fantasio:/etc/backuppc$ more 192.168.1.95.pl
#
# Local server backup of /etc as user backuppc
#
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';

#$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -l backuppc $host sudo $rsyncPath $argList+';

## FJH disable blackout
$Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} = -1;

$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -C -x -l root -o PreferredAuthentications=publickey $host $rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '$sshPath -C -q -x -l root $host $rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['/'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['tmp', '*.mp3','cache'];
$Conf{EMailNoBackupRecentMesg} = <<'EOF';

Lieber Frank,
 
Bitte Iphone Rechner sichern!

Hier prüfen http://192.168.1.96/backuppc !!

$Conf{EMailNoBackupRecentSubj} = 'Lange kein Iphone Backup mehr gemacht!!';
