Even with the new release of VirtualBox 1.6 the iPhone is still not working with iTunes. The same error is occuring, which forces iPhone users to maintain their dual boot capabilities with a Windows OS. My excitment was high for the 1.6 version of VirtualBox. I am eager to dump my Windows partition to free up hard drive space, and this requires a functional iTunes in VirtualBox. This issue will inevitably be resolved, and therefore patients is required.

iPhone Configuration
Step 1: Click the settings button
Step 2: Click the general options menu
Step 3: Click the network menu
Step 4: Click the VPN menu
Step 5: Click the settings menu
JanusVM works with PPTP, therefore use this tab. In the server section add the external ip address of your home machine. If you have a domain name pointing to your external ip address you can also enter that here. If you have a router you will have to use “port forwarding” to forward port 1723 to the ip address of the local machine running JanusVM. In JanusVM option 4 allows you to create users, and passwords. Configure JanusVM according to your liking.
Back to the iPhone.
Step 6: In the account section add the username that you configure in option 4 of JanusVM
Step 7: For “RSA SecurID” turn it off.
Step 8: In the password section add the password you set in option 4 of JanusVM
Step 9: JanusVM requires your iPhone encryption level to be set to “maximum”
Step 10: Set your iPhone to “send all traffic” through the VPN
Remeber, to configure JanusVM you will actually have to boot the virtual machine first. The list of option are automatically displayed once fully booted. I recommend using a static local ip address; if you choose dynamic you will most likely get a different ip address each time you boot JanusVM. This will be a pain, because you will have to adjust the “port forwarding” option in your router as per the local ip address of your JanusVM instance. If anyone has any questions just post a commend. I’ll help get you running ASAP.

The USB iPhone driver is not currently compatible with VirtualBox. It causes an error that does not allows iTunes to connect to the iPhone. Obviously this is incredibly frusterating for all Linux users that own an iPhone. Luckily I had Windows Vista installed on my laptop and was able to activate the iPhone completely. Then I backed up all my music and videos, installed Ubuntu, cloned by backed-up Windows XP guest OS, installed iTunes, and viola no iPhone support.
You’ll get some message like 0xe8000001 or something of the sort when you plug your iPhone in. This is extremely frustrating. There is no Linux support by MAC, and VirtualBox is not resolving this issue in a timely manner. It seems that this has been an issue for some months now; this can easily be observed by the frustration in the VirtualBox forums and others.

If your iPhone battery life is poor, your phone is broken. Bring it in the Apple for an exchange. My iPhone will literally go for three days without having to re-charge it. I have my screen brightness set all the way down, I can report the best battery life of any cellphone I have ever owned. I have wifi on all the time. I have bluetooth off. I use all the features all the time, and can report no negatives on any aspect of the phone.
