This is not directly for me since I don’t have an iPhone. My brother called me for help because he can’t load mp3 music to the iPhone. it opens automatically with DigiKam he said and that’s the only available option in the device manager. All he can do is download photos from the phone.
He is running openSuse 11.2 with KDE 4.4.2.
Anyone here with an iPhone that can help?
Nobody here with an iPhone?
Unfortunately, due to the Apple’s way of locking its customers to their own stuff their iDevices won’t be usable as standard storage when it comes to Music files. So, you need to hack it. Your brother can search for the techniques used in hacking the iTouch/iPad in this forum. It works for iPhone too.
Yes I know that Apple is worse than Microsoft. I like the design of it’s products but I personally wouldn’t buy anything from Apple.
I have suggested that my brother try Amarok 1.4 to sync his music on the computer with the iPhone but I don’t know if it worked out.
Where is the thread about hacking the ipod? I didn’t find it.
Search separately for ipad and then, itouch in the forum.

No need to “hack” or jailbreak the iDevice. openSUSE 11.3 will natively work with iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad devices. Until then one can install related 11.2 packages using the 1-click installer.
I have two ipods and stop using it. I am only for music that’s it. I foundout that sandisk sansa nicely works with linux and supports ogg. Tha’s what I am using now. No headache. Oh by the way sansa beats ipod’s sound ‘black and blue’. Sound is fantastic for the cheap price.
