Since upgrading top 12.04, neither rhythmbox nor banshee can detect any of the songs on my iPhone3. Neither can sync with the iPhone either. Banshee just says "preparing to sync" for ever. Rhythmbox claims that there isn't enough room for the files (even if I only try to sync a playlist consisting of 1 file). Does anyone know why this is happening / how to fix it?

Side note: I'm finding that Banshee is now very resource hungry on this release. On 11.04 it was the better music player (especially if you had an apple device (prior to iphone 4).
