    where does ubuntu mount ipdod touch?

    I got a new ipod touch the other day and have been unable to get anything to read it properly.

    it automounts just fine and i can browse the file system. Normally with my old ipod i just used gtkpod and it worked fine.

    With gtkpod you have to tell it where the ipod is mounted.

    The problem is that i cannot see where the ipod touch is mounted

    It is connected right now and i can see it in nautilus and i can browse the file system, however...

    Code:
    matt@matt-netbook:~$ df -h

    The iPod Touch does not have an MSC interface. Thus it does not expose a file system to the host: The file system of the iPod Touch does not actually get mounted to a directory on your system. The iPod Touch uses some other protocol to handle file transfers and to provide a description of accessible media.

    Re: where does ubuntu mount ipdod touch?

    From the gtkpod website:
    What is gtkpod?

    gtkpod is a platform independent Graphical User Interface for Apple's iPod using GTK2. It supports the first to fifth Generation including the iPod mini, iPod Photo, iPod Shuffle, iPod nano, and iPod Video..

    The latest stable version is V0.99.14, released on January 18th 2009. Click here for details.

    What is libgpod?

    libgpod is a shared library to access the contents of an iPod. You are welcome to use this library in your own projects.

    The latest stable version is V0.7.2, released on April 15th, 2009.

    V0.6.0 was the first release to support the iPod Classic and Nano Video. These models require a one-time setup of the iPod however, see the libgpod page for more details.

    There's also preliminary support for the iPhone and the iPod Touch but they must be jailbroken to work. You'll find more details in the NEWS file.
    It sounds like gtkpod doesn't support the iPod Touch. However, try the community documentation page here:
    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Po...Devices/iPhone

    It gives advice on using the iPod Touch in Ubuntu.

    Re: where does ubuntu mount ipdod touch?

    ok by sheer chance i was doing an rsync backup of my /home and noticed that it was a lot larger than it usually is.

    My ipod touch was connected at the time and whilst backing up /home i also backed up the ipod touch.

    So a little digging reveals that the ipod touch 4g get's mounted here

    ~/.gvfs/matt’s iPod Touch

    Now that i know where to tell gtkpod where it is mounted i am able to manage the ipod touch , add playlists and music + video

    also the filesystem is writable, i can put files on it no problem.
