Hi,

I confirm this. Rhythmbox stopped working with my old ipod 2g silver after i had upgraded to maverick.
I also confirm that the rhythmbox in Debian sid from EXPERIMENTAL repository, works.

The symptom used to vary. But after a few upgrades to ubuntu, or because iTunes has done something to the ipod, at this time, rhythmbox is able to recognize the ipod, put an icon on the lateral panel, but it cannot list the contents.

When I try to add something to the ipod, nothing really happens, even in the --debug output. ( Fortunately, this action no longer corrupts the ipod. )

Perhaps only the last few lines of the debug report is useful, so i pasted them here:

found device path /dev/sdb for mount /media/the_ipod
found ID_MEDIA_PLAYER tag apple-ipod for device /dev/sdb
device information (system database)

/media/the_ipod is already a mount point

I confirm I have the same problem.

I think this could be a kernel bug (or something like "SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices") because neither Banshee or Exaile are able to manage the ipod.

On a computer running Lucid everything works fine. When I connect my ipod to another computer running Maverick the ipod seems to be empty and Rhythmbox crashes when I simply try to see the properties.

I hope the attachments are complete and useful to solve the problem.
- the log messages appeared when I connect the ipod to Lucid;
- the log messages appeared when I connect the ipod to Maverick;
- the Rhythmbox debug messages
