iPod touch does not mount after iOS 4.2.x upgrade

After upgrading my iPod touch to iOS 4.2.x, it no longer mounted in Ubuntu 10.04.

Following the steps outlined here fixed the problem.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone#Device does not mount after iOS4.2.x upgrade


1. Add the new repository

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pmcenery/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade


2. In synaptic, find libimobiledevice0 and uncheck, check libimobiledevice1

3. Apply changes.

A logout / login or reboot may be necessary to allow the auto-mounting to work.

4. If you still have problems, and get TLS error messages when typing the command 'ifuse /media/iphone' in a terminal, rename the ~/.local/libimobiledevice folder to ~/.local/libimobiledevice.old or delete it.
