Rebuild Ipod Database . . . HOW?

[Benjamin Cathey-2]

When I plug in my son's IPOD it tells me it is unable to read but that
Banshee can "rebuild the database . . . " however there is nothing to
click on or select and I don't see the option anywhere.

I have been googling for hours with no luck.

I don't want to have to use rythmbox (the only program that reads it
right now) - as he is used to banshee.

PLEASE HELP - it seems that if the program would suggest that it can
Rebuild the Database, that there would be an option to do so.

HELP

Thanks

Benjamin

There should be a button or link/text named "Rebuild iPod Database...".

For me, that simply crashes Banshee completely with no error messages.

Start it with the --debug argument, that should give you some info.

Funny thing... when I did that it has successfully rebuilt the database.
I guess there's not much chance it's going to crash again unless
iTunes changes the database.

Well, one would think so - that is what I was expecting . . . but no -
there is nothing like that - the text offers no link.

Is there a command line argument to call this?

Help!  This is still unresolved and I am at the point of actually
considering a windows install to get this to work.

There HAS to be a way to rebuild this database as it implies but I do
not see the option anywhere in this program, in the FAQs, on google -
ANYWHERE.

Please tell me where the function is as Banshee implies that it CAN do
it in the error message.

Thanks guys

This is a good question - whatever was in the repos.  I am not sure - I
tried this on Linux Mint (fluxbox) and Ubuntu 7.1 install

On Mint it is version 0.13.1

I just checked the version on Fedora 8 (also 0.13.1) and the link to rebuild the IPOD is one the screen when you select the device.

Here's a screenshot.

Does the link not appear for you then?
