cpeel - Thank you! This worked for me even though my image was a very old one (WinXP made with Workstation 4).

cpeel, you're a diamond!!

Ubuntu 9.04 ia64 + iTunes 8.2.2 + VMplayer 2.5.2 + upgraded VM to support new hardware + cpeel's added vmx lines. It just works!!!

I've struggled with this issue off and on and no matter what I did, always a blue screen when the VM saw the iPhone. Today, however, I found success! I tried updating to VMWare Player 2.5.2 (no dice), and iTunes 8.1.1 (no dice). Success came when I enabled the XP image for USB 2.0 by adding the following lines to the VMX file:
ehci.present = "TRUE"
ehci.pciSlotNumber = "19"
Note that from what I've read your VM image itself must be at a level to support USB 2.0 (made with VMWorkstation 6 I believe). Luckily I guess mine was. I'm in the process of backing up the iPhone via the VM image as I type.

I'm running Fedora 10, not Ubuntu, but I think the problem child is the USB 2.0 support in the VM Player.

Steve, nice work getting as far as you have. I gave up a couple of months ago, and have been using an ancient XP machine at the office to do my iPhone stuff (painful). You've got me thinking I might try again, especially since I just updated to 1.1.4 (who knows, maybe they modified the interface subtly).

Brian - thanks for your comment. I'm still trying to work through the blue screen issue when my iPhone is finally recognized by XP. Please let me know if you have any greater success!

Thanks for putting this out there. I've only got one windows machine left, and it's mainly because of itunes/iphone.

Hopefully I have the same success you had.

Cheers, Brian
