Hi. Thanks for the post. I’m quite new to Ubuntu, but I am rying to get freak’in iTunes to run i VBox so I can sync, my freak’in iPhone on my laptop. I can’t get the script to work, so I was wondering if there is a secret password, like open sesame, to make it work. I hope for a soon reply.

Kind regards Ejvind (from Denmark)

The script is no longer fresh in my mind, but i don’t think it has anything harmful. with that said, i wouldn’t expect it to fix your issue.

Hi,
I’m running XP on VBox 2.1.4(not OSE) on Ubuntu Intrepid, 2.6.27-7 kernel
When I plug my iPhone, xp recognize it as a camera, but iTunes doesn’t see it(actually I got the 0xE8000035 error)
As I have a VBox installation greater than 2.1, do you think I would try this script ?

The script is not necessary on VirtualBox installations greater than 2.1. My very first guess would be that you’re running the OSE version which does not provide usb support.
