After a day of trying to figure out how to get this sync going I found out a few things:

For some reason there has been a lot of trouble syncing iPods with Rhythmbox in Ubuntu 14.04, lots of people apparently have this problem including me.

The most paramount problem that I had today was that every time I would click on my iPod in Rhythmbox under Devices, Rhythmbox would shut down. It took me a while to figure out that the solution to this problem was a very simple one; turning off the following plug-in: "Portable Players - iPod," after I unmarked this check box I was able to access the files on my iPod... However, I am still not able to actually sync my library with the iPod.

so...

Could somebody please help me come up with a good solution for this problem?

I thank y'all very much in advance!

P.S. I have the iPod classic 160GB version so nuthin' fancy.

Run command:

sudo apt-get install libgpod4 libusbmuxd2 usbmuxd libimobiledevice4 libplist3

If you have Synaptic install, find those libraries so you can have the description of each of them.

Encountered the same issue as above after upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 and attempting to play selections from iPod Nano. Gave up on Rhythmbox and installed Banshee.

sudo apt-get install banshee
