I don't want to jailbreak the ipad2 ---- #1 - time to update your Fedora. F13 is EOL and soon F14 will EOL too. Installing new packages on F13 is going to be difficult if not impossible at the point they move the repo into archive (if they haven't done that already). #2 - I'd be interested in knowing the answer to this question too - but what I do know (and I don't have an iPad and likely never will)... - Apple has a rigid structure for iTunes and it's more than just copying files to/from your iPad which I would think you can do already by connecting the USB to your Linux machine. - With my iPod, I use my Windows system and iTunes but the data is stored on my Linux server so I can access the music with anything (Rhythmbox, Amarok, etc.) I use mt-daapd on Linux to share this music with any compatible iTunes player including iTunes on Windows/Macintosh and of course Rhythmbox & Amarok). - Apple keeps a tight grip on devices and technologies such as iTunes... they want to exercise complete control over the content you put on your iPad/iPhone/iPod and thus frequently change their iTunes software making it somewhat risky to have other applications tinkering with the iTunes.db You might try to see if Amarok or Rhythmbox can sync/add/delete music to your iPad (I have no idea what their current level of implementation is these days).
