Here is my fdisk -l output:

I'm very confused!
What is the problem?
Thanks!

ipods are not "disks", so will not show up with fdisk

When I plug in my itouch, it shows up in "Places" as iPod and when I open this with nautilus the location bar reads afc://somerandonHEXsrting

afc stands for "Apple File Control"

I can drag music to and from it using rhythmbox

Apple is the devil and uses proprietary communication protocols rather than behaving as a standard usb removable disk.

Hi! I was able to see ipod with fdisk -l until now. I'm not sure, but I think we can consider ipod as "disk".
I don't have any "Places" in my filesystem. I think it's a simple mount point.
Thanks

Ok,
there is a new thing to consider.
I can able to list with fdisk -l my ipod as a /dev/sde for 2-3 seconds, and then it disappears.
Oppss!!

Resolved!!
I have a usb device for multiple connections. It works with electricity, it wasn't connected to the electricity.
Uppsss!
