Ubuntu :: IPod Touches Just Not Work At All?
Apr 24, 2011
I've been able to get Rhythmbox to at least acknowledge my iPod Touch, but when i try and add music to it, my iPod still says "No Content." It looks like it syncs, when Rhythmbox is transfer the music to my iPod it even says that it's syncing on the iPod, but when I check to see if there's any music, there never is.I've searched and haven't been able to find any solutions, but I've seen a lot of old threads with people that have this problem. Has any been able to transfer music onto an iPod Touch successfully at all?

I just connected an old Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite Keyboard (keyboard + mouse set) to my Ubuntu and I was wondering if it is possible to configure all the additional keys and in particular the wheel on the keyboard.I found that keytouch was the software to do this, but on Ubuntu 10.04 seems to have some troubles: even after the configuration, all the additional keys are just... dead. The events connected with any of the keys never start.Does someone know how to configure this software?

I'm fairly new to touch screens. I'm having a look on Amazon at multi touch monitors like an HP 2310ti and it seems everybody just accepts that Windows 7 can handle it out of the box.
How does it work? I can't find any resources explaining how the PC receives the input from the touch screen.
Do I need to connect the PC with the monitor via USB, or is there wireless/bluetooth technology embedded in the monitor like in a wireless keyboard/mouse? How does Linux handle such a monitor out of the box? Does it recognize something like 2 connected mouse devices? I read about a few projects trying to implement this stuff in Xorg/GTK, but it seems to be pretty experimental at current state (because there is little information, if any, on this topic).

I just acquired a shiny new 64Gb iPod Touch and for the life of me I can't get it working in either Amarok or Banshee at all and it doesn't automatically mount as it is supposed to on 10.04 Beta 1 or 2
lsusb shows it's there and after following this thread I could get it mounted and see the directory structure.

But it doesn't show up in Banshee or Amarok at all.
Is it just because it's new and might have a quirk? Or could it be something simple I have missed? I'm not a total noob but still learning

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 am running banshee-1.5.3-1.fc12.i686 on FC12 X64. Although the Banshee iPod plugin is checked off, when I plug an iPod in, I do not get the iPod icon on the left pane of Banshee. (gktpod works fine with my iPod.) How do I fix this?

I recently upgraded to kubuntu 10.10 and now I can't play songs and sync my ipod outside of gnome. Before the upgrade I was able to access the ipod using rhythm box, it wouldn't be detected at first but if I would click music and then import folder and then click ipod touch under places rhythm box would recognise it and it would be mounted at /home/linux/.gvfs/iPod touch. But now unlike before on kubuntu 10.04, when I plug in my ipod it is actually recognised by the device notifier, but it only recognises it as a camera it has no access to the rest of the file system where the music is located, and their is no eject button in the device notifier to unmount. And because of this I can't mount gvfs unless I unplug the ipod, logout, and log back in into gnome. I tried mounting with ifuse before on 10.04 but it didn't work right, now when i try it in kde I get a whole new error message.
linux@linux:~$ ifuse /mnt/ipod/
No device found, is it connected? If it is make sure that your user has permissions to access the raw usb device. If you're still having issues try unplugging the device and reconnecting it.
I tried
umount camera:/Apple iPod Touch (PTP mode)@usb:001,005/
But that just gave me
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
I didn't think that command would work but I tried it because I have no idea where the hell the ipod is mounted or if it's even mounted at all. Is their any way to keep kde from detecting my ipod touch? Or anything I can do in the terminal so I can use my ipod with gtkpod or rhythmbox while in kde.

I have tried all the methods that are out there but nothing works. Under Fedora 12, it is seen by VBox
[code]...
Running ITunes under Vbox sees the IPOD but I can't do anything, it will not copy music over, matter of fact I can't build any libraries in ITunes. I've installed "iFuse" on both my Fedora and Ubuntu systems, no go with that direction. Under Ubuntu it is seen but I can't do anything with it.

I have currently installed Linux Mint 10 Gnome 32-bit edition and I have a iPod Touch 2nd gen with 32GB.I was able to see the music(mp3 files) in my iPod touch in linux mint 8 and 9. But currently I have the following issues:When I connect my iPod Touch with the system I got two popup asking me You have just inserted digital audio player.ose what applications to launch"ou have just inserted a medium with digital photos. Choose what applications to launch"I know that these are popups are normal. I currently dnot have any photos or videos in my iPod Touch(will try to add them in the future) so I used Rhythmbox to open the music present in my iPod touch. I'm able to find my iPod under "Devices" in Rhythmbox. But when I click it, Rhythmbox shows that there are no music present in my iPod Touch by showing "0 artist" and "0 Albums".
However I know for sure that there are definitely songs in my iPod since I'm able to browse and play songs directly from my iPod. Is there any way to resolve this? I have also tried opening it in banshee but with the same result.I tried to drag and drop songs present in my library of rhythmbox to my iPod and this does not do any thing. Previously in LM 8 or 9, when I do drag and drop I will be able to see my new songs in my iPod.

I am trying to connect my 2nd Gen Ipod to Xubuntu and import my music collection onto the Ipod. I am having real problems with this. Rhythm Box does not recognise the Ipod with the plug-in, I have tried Amarok, but each time I tried to open it, it just crashed, tried sending a bug report but that did not want to work. I have also tried Exaile with the Ipod plug-in but when you go to the device manager you can click on the Ipod but nothing happens. I have tried looking at the Exaile forums but this seems to be a problem for others as well. The Ipod mounts ok, now a bit stuck.

Its a dell e510 with about a gig of ram. I'm struggling to get my ipod touch working with the gtkpod ipod manager. At this point my ipod shows on my desktop when i connect it via usb. I cannot set up the repository for it in gtkpod because i dont know the location its mounting to. if its mounting at all. so my question is. how can i tell where my ipod is being mounted? I dont have a clue what to look for in the terminal results for "df -a"
But this is what i get:
Code:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 152357444 65577992 79040140 46% /
proc 0 0 0 - /proc
none 0 0 0 - /sys
[Code]...
Edit : Itouch = first generation 8gb Edit 2: I would like to create a sticky thread that helps new users answer questions about ipods. Will a moderator please let me know what i should include in their opinion? ex. using wine to run itunes, gtkpod and how to set it up, using mm players like banshee and songbird... what version of ubuntu works best with the ipods.

I used Ubuntu way back in the 6.X days, then quit for a while, and now I'm back, and boy have things changed! Anyway, I'm trying to get my parents to use Ubuntu, since Windoze runs super-slow (and my mom is a "download everything on the Internet and I won't get viruses, right?" type), and one of my concerns is getting my mom's iPod to work properly under Ubuntu.
Now, I know that there is no iTunes for *Nix (tragic but unfortunately true), so I'm trying to use a Ubuntu-native program to do this (of course, if anyone knows how to make iTunes work, that would probably be optimal, but until that...). I've tried using Amarok and gtkpod, and run into a couple of problems. If anyone can help me out, that would be fantastic.
1) I read various guides for using Amarok (including this one, this one, and this one), and I get to the point at which you go Settings -> Configure Amarok. I am told there should be a "Media Devices" item on the list on the left, and it is simply not there. What's the deal?
2) I tried using gtkpod, and while it seemed to work a bit, I tried using the "Copy files from iPod to music library" feature, and it segfaulted in the middle. I'm not entirely confident using programs that are prone to segfaults, and I was wondering if anyone can shed some light.
My mom's iPod is a 3rd gen iPod Nano 8GB Silver (with video). My OS is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. My Amarok version is 2.3.0. My gtkpod version is 0.99.14.

go into your ubuntu software center and download this thing called Arista Transcoder. Next Download gtkpod with synaptic or apt. It'll probably want some plugins when you initially try to encode a video to mv4. I cannot remember for the life of me which plugin I used, some gstreamer plugins and one of them was an "extra". Anyways, I got pissed off when I found out libfaac and libfaad got canned but was determined to make this work.

I got a 120 GB iPod which is access with gtkpod.Everything worked fine since I got it 2 years ago.Yesterday, however, I was unable to play files. The iPod would simply skip them as if they were 0-sec tracks.When trying to access the iPod with gtkpod, I got an error message about the Music folder not being found.So I thought: Let's rework the whole thing. I opened the iPod folder in nautilus, deleted everything and ejected and restarted the iPod. Then I transferred one album to the iPod. Everything seemed OK. But the same thing happened again: all the tracks seem to be empty.Now, when opening gtkpod it states it's missing the photo directory.What should I do? I already used iTunes on a WIN machine to recreate the system. But the problem continues.

I've been trying desperately to try to sync my iPod to play songs from it and to add songs to it. I've tried Rhythmbox, Amarok, and iTunes through Wine, but none of them will even acknowledge that a device has been connected. When I connect my iPod while in Rhythmbox, a device called "Unknown Device" pops up for just a second, then disappears. This computer is running only Ubuntu now so I'm pretty desperate to find a way to be able to sync my iPod.

I've been playing around with the last.fm iPod scrobbling function this week and noticed that when it scrobbles it attempted to scrobble *every* track listened ever and not just the scrobbles since you last listened. This doesn't happen on the Windows/Mac version - so I'm wondering if anyone else has the same issue or is experiencing anything different?

I've been having a nightmare mounting my iPod to 11.04. It's just one of the older 4gig ipods I've been desperately trying to mount on as my only computers run Ubuntu.
First it wouldn't even try, it gave me the superblock error. Then I stupidly proceeded to format the iPod with disk utility, thinking that the file format was to fault. Now, it does appear in my home folder, but clicking on the iPod icon, it gives me- "unable to mount Ipod : mount: special device /dev/sdc2 does not exist".
