Ubuntu Multimedia :: IPod Shuffle (1st Generation) Will Not Mount
Dec 2, 2010
My ipod shuffle (1st generation) will not mount in Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit when I plug it into my usb port. When I plug in the ipod I do not get an icon being created for it on the desktop. I have also checked nautilus and there is no storage device for the ipod showing when I click on computer in nautilus.I have also checked /media in nautilus and there in no listing for the ipod. The only way I can see the ipod in Ubuntu is if I open up a terminal window and use the command lsusb which then shows a listing for the ipod.
If I have the ipod plugged into my computer before I turn it on and then turn on the computer to boot with Ubuntu, Ubuntu does not boot in the normal graphics mode but boots in text mode where I have to type in my name and password on a black terminal screen. The ipod has the latest software on it as well as being reset back to original factory settings. I have no problems using the ipod if boot up on windows 7 and plug in the ipod.

I own an ipod shuffle and in ubuntu 10.04 worked perfectly, but after upgrading (I did a fresh install) to ubuntu 10.10 rythmbox recognizes the ipod, but it can't list the items and if I try to reload the list, rhythmbox closes irremediably.

When I plug the suffle in, dmesg looks good and puts it at sdb : sdb1, but /dev/sdb1 is never created.Other thumb drives mount fine at /dev/sdb1 and the shuffle mounts fine on my other debian box at /dev/sdb1. I just installed on this system and it's a pretty sparse install so I'm wondering if I'm missing some firmware.

my friend just got an Ipod touch, so he gave me his old shuffle. So when I got home, I plugged it in, and it mounted fine. Then I tried to rename it, but when I right click on the icon, the "Rename" option is grayed out. How do I rename it then?

I've had my ipod, it would auto detect fine with gtkpod and load perfectly.
Now, as of a couple days ago, my computer won't even detect my ipod..
It's a 2nd Generation Shuffle and I'm running Lucid Lynx.

Banshee will recognize iPod shuffle 4th gen. It will let me drag songs to iPod and they show up in Banshee as being on my iPod. When I disconnect iPod and hit play, the voice over tells me to please load songs from iTunes.

how to show music files on Rhythmbox for Ubuntu 10.04b? I have no issues with music showing up fir my Gen 1 iPod Touch, but when I plug in my iPod Shuffle (gen 4 silver) I got an error (only got it once and dont know what it said) and it displays nothing. I tried gtkpod as well after reading that on the forums but that is a no go as well.

I use Banshee 1.5.4 on Ubuntu 9.10 with a 2nd gen iPod Shuffle. I was thrilled when I plugged it in to see that everything worked right out-of-the-box but then I found that there's no way to manually order songs, Banshee always put an arrow in a column for you.
If you don't know much about the Shuffle, it lets you flick between 'sorted' and 'shuffled' mode. In sorted mode it plays songs in the order they are arranged in the music playlist. I like to keep classical and relaxing songs at the top of my playlist for when I can't sleep but Banshee won't let me manually organise my songs so I can't do this.
Peculiarly, when you drag songs to the Shuffle individually, though they will show up as being sorted, when you go to play them on the Shuffle they play in the order in which you dragged them. I was planning to just drag and drop over each song individually but I think there must be an easier way... I'm probably just missing something. P.S. Here's a screenshot to clarify. I synched the songs over in the order of Blur, Gorillaz, Air and Muse but they don't show as such

I want to put songs in my iPod shuffle but I don't know how. It is the previous generation, not the newest one, but the one before that one.

I've been trying to get an iPod nano 5th generation working with slackware-current, with no luck. Currently, I have upgraded to gtkpod 1.0.0 and libgpod 0.8.0. I've run iPod-read-sysinfo-extended successfully, which wrote the SysInfoExtended file in /<ipod_root>/iPod_Control/Device.
After those steps, gtkpod would copy the mp3's to the device, but would fail writing the database. So, I generated the HashInfo file from the firewire guid using the tool at [URL]. After that, gtkpod finishes writing the database to the device, and shows all the music which is present, but after ejecting the iPod, no music shows up.

I'm running slackware 13 and so far all my usb-devices were recognized correctly. Her ipod is running fine under windows with itunes but i'm not able to mount it on my slackware cause i don't see any partitions. Afaik, ipods have three partitions (1st firmware, 2nd music and itunes-db, 3rd ... ?). why i don't see any partitions? Here is my dmesg output when plugging in the ipod:
Code:
usb 3-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=1301
usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
usb 3-1: Product: iPod
[Code].....

I installed gtkpod via apt-get. When I plug my 4Gb iPod shuffle via USB, gtkpod does not open automatically. When I open it manually, the following error message comes up:I just would like to add/remove mp3's on my iPod and sync it via gtkpod.

I have a 3rd gen iPod shuffle which I had loaded music onto in Banshee a few months ago. It worked fine until yesterday when I decided I wanted to delete a few tracks from it. When I mounted it and opened Banshee it said I had to rebuild the database or something to that effect. I did that and could then see all the tracks on it. I went ahead and deleted the few tracks I wanted to remove, and ejected it. When I tried to use it, it says "please use itunes to sync music." A little confused, I went back and deleted all the tracks on it (using Banshee) and reloaded some tracks. It still won't work.
I haven't changed anything in Banshee (as far as I know) and I have never plugged the shuffle into itunes. I've always used Banshee to manage it and never had a problem. The only major change I can think of that might have made a difference is upgrading from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04.

I have read couple articles here about ipod shuffle sync in ubuntu. Can't I just plug it into USB, mount the ipod shuffle as drive and copy my mp3 files over? What do I miss at the moment? (I haven't bought the ipod shuffe yet, that is why I can't test it right away. What is the deal with it?)

I have an ipod shufle 2nd gen, and I have seemed to upset the format. I tried to format it in nautilus, and it gave me the: 'fat 32 format not supported' error.
now ubuntu won't recognize it, and the ipod shuffle is giving me a broken software error. I have a backup of the ipod shuffle, but how do I get ubuntu to recognize it so I can format it properly?

I have a first generation iPod Shuffle (yes, I know it's old) with 512 megabytes of space (feel free to laugh). I also have arch linux installed on my computer, with a music folder containing about 30 folders full of music. This totals to about 2 gigabytes of music.
What I want to do is: create a script that moves no more than 512 megabytes (it can be slightly under this amount, but NOT over) of random songs from my music folder (and it's subsequent artist/album folders) to a separate folder. I will then use gtkpod to move those random songs in the new folder to my iPod Shuffle.

I'm trying to put music on a 2GB blue 3rd gen iPod Shuffle (the long metal bodied version) using gtkpod on current Arch Linux. While the files get stored on the ipod, when I try to listen to music the ipod just says "please use iTunes to sync music". The model in question is listed as supported by gtkpod, so What's going wrong?

I'm running (K)ubuntu 10.04 side-by-side with Windows 7 (Wubi install) and have been having trouble from the word go trying to get my ipod working with it. I've already managed to jailbreak it with Spirit in Windows in hopes that it would get the iPod libs to work but to no avail. I've downloaded just about every result I could find by searching for "ipod" in Synaptic as well as a few other libraries that I've found while searching the forums for a solution to my problem. I have both Banshee and RhythmBox on my machine and Bash can detect the device but it won't mount and to the best of my knowledge not a single program can see anything other than a folder labeled "iPod" in my "media" drive and even this only recently occurred. For what it's worth, I've downloaded the ipod-convenience package and this is the code that resulted when I tried to mount via Konsole:
[code]...
this is after I've added myself to the 'fuse' group and rebooted the computer.

I want my iPod to automatically mount as read only. I am hoping this will prevent Rhythmbox from changing my playlist sort order while still allowing me to listen to my music.I've tried a number of things this morning and never got it working properly. I'll try to remember what I tried:gksu gedit fstabI added UUID=5EFC-9810 /media/ipod vfat ro,noexec,noauto,user 0 0cd /mediaudo mkdir ipodMounted the iPod and it showed up twice in Places (possibly as a result of this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...fs/+bug/442130). Also, the directory iPod was always listed in Places even when I hadn't connected my iPod. So I listened to the advice there and tried:/dev/disk/by-uuid/5EFC-9810 /media/ipod vfat ro,noexec,noauto 0 0Now I couldn't get my iPod to mount at all. The error given was something like:Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1...only root can mount media/ipodI was able to chown /ipod but it didn't solve my problem.I started over and tried:UUID=5EFC-9810 /media/ipod vfat ro 0 0

I have just got a new iPod Touch 4th generation, currently running iOS 4.1. I am having difficulty syncing it with Rhythmbox (or any application!), as it seems to go un-recognised! It currently is not jailbroken.
Is there any way to mount and sync music with this iPod? My old nano used to work just fine in Rhythmbox.

i tied to plug my ipod in just now and it says connected on the ipod but is not mounting on my ubuntu desktop or with gtkpod. i also have a g1 plugged in via usb with an 8gb mem card mounted on the phone but that wont mount on the computer either. Oddly my usb flash drive will mount. i forgot where i seen the message but it says that my ipod is blocked from being mounted. I ran mount on the commandline and it said nothing about an ipod or android phone at all. i can see the devices in /dev/disk/by-label/. And it shows iPod my g1 and my live cd. btw i am running a live cd because of my faulty hard drive

My 4 GB 2nd generation Ipod nano will not mount to my Compaq Presario 2105US running Xubuntu 9.10. I get a message that says, "Failed to mount Ipod" with a description that says, "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so ."
I even went back to my XP to restore the ipod to factory settings essentially formating it, to see if that would help, but I get the same result.
Is there something that I may have overlooked?

I have recently bough a 2GB iPod Shuffle 3rd Generation. I have loaded music into it via rhythmbox, and I can listen to it in the computer. The problem is that, when I unplug the iPod it tells me to "Please use iTunes to sync music". The music IS IN the iPod, I don't know what's happening.
