Okay so i am running Linux Mint 7 and have Amarok 2.1.1. I have an ipod 1st gen running the 2.2.1 software so you could say that its the 2nd gen. My problem is that i can't find the media device option in my tabs in the settings. I'm not sure what to do and ive searched all over Google to see if anyone else is having this problem and might have found a solution. This is my last hope and i really need some help. Please if you have any suggestions such as install packages or anything please let me know i need help.

No need for any options. If the package for mint is ok, you plug it in and it appars as a collection in the collection browser. There migh be problems with newer iPods.
Unfortunately you didn't announce what kind of iPod you're using.

im using a 1st generation ipod touch but with the 2.2.1 software so you could say im using a second generation.

Amarok uses libgpod for accessing the iPod. Current is 0.7.2.
As far as I know, iPhone and iPod Touch needs special attention (jailbreak) to get it working. But with your firmware update to 2.x... you're out, it's not supported.
Unfortunately Apple tries to exclude any 3rd party software.
I've a 5.5th generation iPod Video. Next player won't be an Apple.

Also i tryed istalling itunes 7.2 with wine cause it said everywhere that it would work. Now istalation went smoothly but when i try to start up itunes it says cannot creat the folder in music or something about a folder about my music folder. Im just trying to put some music on my ipod but it won't work. Also thanks for all the help its really appreciated.

I would have recommended Floola as an alternative, but after checking the site, it can't handle iPhone and iPod Touch, too.
Sorry, but shame on Apple.
