Hi,

I am running openSUSE 13.1 x64 with KDE 4.11.2 and Amarok 2.8.0.
I have an iPod Touch 8GB version 6.1.3 model MC540NF/A

When I plug in my iPod on the USB port I get the following popup message:

Code: Select all

determined mount-point path to /tmp/kde-jeancf/amarok/imobiledevice_uuid_879e3043b4fc9aea08721566ff1d0abb77f99ded

Please help. Thanks.

What is the version of libgpod you have? If your iPod is the iPod Nano touch version 6, then it is not supported (yet). For more information, please see also http://www.gtkpod.org/wiki/Libgpod

FWIW: Amarok doesn't mount anything, you need libgpod to mount an iPod or iPhone, ideally in the latest version.

Hello,

Thanks for your quick reply.
It is an iPod Touch, not an iPod Nano Touch. The "About" section of settings show model MC540NF/A.
Here's the information about the libgpod library:

Hi,
libgpod (and thus Amarok) only supports iPod touch'es "Up to and including the 3rd generation if one song is added with itunes first" -- http://www.gtkpod.org/wiki/Home

It seems to me that your iPod touch is 4th generation - please consult https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_touch#Models and see yourself.

Too bad. Thanks for your help.
