Failure to succesfully sync an iPod using Rhythmbox on Ubuntu 14.04

Question

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.

Solution

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.
