iPod mounting issue

[Krystallynn341]

I'm very new to ubuntu and I've been trying to get my iPod to work.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.1.
I have both GTKpod and Amarok. I put in the command sudo mkdir /media/iPod in the terminal then I added
/dev/sdc2 /media/iPod vfat nosuid,noauto,nodev,rw,umask=077,gid=1000,uid=1000 ,user,defaults,noatime,iocharset=utf8 0 0
to my fstab. The iPod showed up in places but then when I try to open it I get an error message
Unable to mount iPod
mount: special device /dev/sdc2 does not exist

Basically, I have no idea what to do now. If someone could please explain to me what exactly to do that'd be great.

plug in your ipod and then do

fdisk -l

note:where "-l" is lowercase of "-L"
post here teh results. you probably just have assigned the wrong device name.

okay so it shot back:

Disk /dev/sda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x41ab2316

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 7295 58597056 7 HPFS/NTFS

my bad can repeat the command using "sudo fdisk -l"
sometimes without sudo may give different results

i used sudo when i did it the first time. without sudo it doesn't give me anything

ohh pk i suppose u r using a wubi install right? your ipod does not show up in the devices. does you ipod has an "Mount as disk media" when you connect it to the pc. Check the connection options. It's been a while that i do not use an ipod...

edit: what kind(generation) of Ipod do you have?
