Hello all,

Please help me make my iPod work with Amarok. I know I am not the only one with Ipod problems but here we are again. First the details:

Amarok 2.6.0 using KDE 4.8.2
Ipod Nano 8Gb, fully reset and empty
Kubuntu 12.04

When I plug my ipod in I am asked to either:
Open with File manager
Download photos with Gwenview

when I click a small icon to the right of the Ipod symbol it says mount this device which I do

Open Amarok
The only place I find the Ipod is in "Local Music" and it comes up as MYPOD:invalid
When I select settings I get a dialogue box with:
Ipod Devecie configuration
Ipod Name [greyed out box with MYPOD]
Transcode [greyed out : ask before each transfer]

Information
Model: Invalid
Generation: Unknown
Video: Not supported
Album Artwork: not supported

Troubleshooting
SysInfo file: Not found
SysInfoExtended file: not found
iPod model was not recognised

It then goes on to say that as a safety measure Amarok will not write anything to the pod. It then has a link to further information which is not very informative.

Anyone out there who can help please. I have found all sorts of stuff on this theme but somehow it doiesn't seem to apply to my case.

John
