iTunes and 3.2.12 with FC13 host?

[ToddAndMargo]

Host : Fedora Code 13 x64
Guest: XP Pro Sp3 x32

Hi All,

4.0.2 is too slow. Anyone get away with running iTunes under VB 3.2.12 with a Fedora Code 13 host? Does the USB work properly for iTunes to function? Any word of wisdom?

Many thanks,

You asked the same question before, but just a bit more generic. I will give the same answer: it works fine. Now I forgot when I updated my iPhone to 4.2.1, if it was before or after 4.0 got released, but I think it was after. Either way, I've updated my iPhone from 3.1 to 3.1.2 and restored it to 3.1.2 before using older versions of VB, so it should be fine nonetheless. Are you sure you have the extpack installed for USB 2.0 support and have it enabled in the VM settings?
Last thing I can think of, is that your Host is the problem of the low speed. If you still have the same issues with 3.2.12, try Ubuntu as Host instead.

This time I need an exact answer. iTunes must work with 3.2.12 and a Fedora Core 13 host (or 14).

Were you using a Red Hat host?

My impression was that the extpack was a 4.0.x thing. Is it also a 3.2.12 thing?

USB 2.0 is enabled on my machine. My customer does not yet have Virtual Box installed. Before spending his money doing so, I need an exact answer to my question. (You may have given it, I am just making sure.)

On my computer, 3.2.12 is a lot faster than 4.0.2. And, this is born out by checking bench marks between 3.2.1 and 4.0.x. Here is one: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=a ... box4&num=1

try Ubuntu as Host instead.

My host is CentOS 5.5. It has to stay that way so I can support all my customers I have installed CentOS servers on.

This question is for my customer on FC13.

As far as the VirtualBox 4 performance goes, in many areas right now its performance with the just-released Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.0 Beta 2 is slower than VirtualBox 3.2.12

So as it now stands, I can not tell if 3.2.12 and iTunes are going to work until I here it was done on a Fedora (Red Hat) host.

Thank you for the help. I do appreciate it.
