How to mount an iPod Touch
My daughter has recently purchased an iPod Touch and would like to be
able to maintain it from our linux box running Wheezy. My wife has an
iPad Mini and it would be nice to be able to maintain that from the
linux box, as well. I have googled. I have upgraded to the latest
kernel from Backports (3.16). I have installed libimobiledevice-utils.
I have done everything I can think of.
When I plug the device in I get the following in dmesg:
[ 127.569680] usb 4-4.4: new high-speed USB device number 6 using ehci-pci
[ 127.665562] usb 4-4.4: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac,
idProduct=12aa
[ 127.666054] usb 4-4.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2,
SerialNumber=3
[ 127.666538] usb 4-4.4: Product: iPod
[ 127.667021] usb 4-4.4: Manufacturer: Apple Inc.
[ 127.667517] usb 4-4.4: SerialNumber:
ea1f2a0800d76f91f9bc0d50d6620151d249e6a9
You will note that there is no mention of a mountable device node. I
have added a file, '50-custom.rules' in /etc/udev/rules.d that contains
the line:
BUS=="scsi", ATTRS{idVendor}=="05ac", ATTRS{idProduct}=="12aa",
ATTRS{serial}=="ea1f2a0800d76f91f9bc0d50d6620151d249e6a9",
NAME{all_partitions}="ipod", GROUP="plugdev"
I then tried connecting the device again. Still nothing. I rebooted
with the device attached. Nothing.
What am I doing wrong? I have installed gtkpod and hope that it will do
what I need it to do. But first, I need to be able to mount the device.
Any help will be appreciated.
