IPod not showing


So I plug in my iPod but am unable to mount it. Dmesg does not show me a /dev/ to mount. lsusb shows the device. Anybody know what is wrong? It works in Windows.

dmesg:

Based on what you posted, there's nothing much we can tell you. You don't say how you're trying to mount it, what version/distro of Linux you're using, or if you've tried to use any other software to work with your iPod.

Apple doesn't support Linux very well, if at ALL. It works under Windows because they have written a driver for it...they will NOT be writing one for Linux anytime in the foreseeable future. There are things like gtkpod and the fuse file system that may let you work with it, but again, you've not provided any details about what you're trying to do, on what flavor of Linux.

Apple aggressively tries to keep its products from working with anything other than iTunes.

You might try gtkpod, but I have no experience with it. We have no Apple kit.

Debian AMD64. I'm trying to mount it with the mount command but I do not know what /dev/ to mount.

I know. Not a big fan of Apple ibut the device is free so using it.
So I found this program called ifuse and installed it. But when I run, I get a segmentation fault and looks other have gotten this message as well. Yes, I have heard of gtkpod, I was just attempting to keep it basic and not add too many programs but I guess I will give that a try. The Debian IPhone wiki says install libimobiledevice-utils gvfs-backends gvfs-bin gvfs-fuse but that didn't work for me either.

Ok well, gtkpod connects to it but what I really wanted were my pictures. Haha. That's why I was trying to mount it and access all the files. Any easy way to get to that?

You could run the dmesg command and search the output for references that appear to be your ipod. Dmesg produces a lot of output, so it might be easiest to pipe the output to a file.

Open a terminal and, as root, run

Code:
dmesg > dmesg.txt
then open the resulting file in an editor and use the search function to look for strings such as "apple" and "ipod."

Nope, not in this case. This line, from your dmesg output:
Code:
Aug 17 15:15:55 linksys mtp-probe: bus: 7, device: 8 was not an MTP device
...tells you why. Apparently, your iPod doesn't support the MTP protocol. If it did, you'd be able to open it up with digikam or another photo management package, and grab your pictures. That said, I'm (thankfully) Apple-free, so don't know much about iPods, but Android phones have a way to go into settings and 'switch' between MTP and other modes. If your iPod does, check that out.
