I can't get it to work. Are you using Kubuntu or it's another distro?

I'm using ubuntu Karmic
But you need ifuse setup : see

First of all, thanks for your prompt reply.

Yes, I've done that setup, with some minor differences:

- libusb-1.0-0-udev doesn't exist, and I'm quite sure that libusb-1.0-0-dev (without "u") is not necessary so I haven't installed that.

- libiphone-0 and libiphone-utils are at version 0.9.4 whereas libimobiledevice-0 and libimobiledevice-utils are at version 0.9.7 so I installed those instead.

I can mount my iPod Touch with the command "ifuse /mnt/ipod" and it works in Gtkpod. However, it doesn't appear in Amarok. My situation is the same as for Renevith (this is his snapshot).

I've been doing some searches and it seems the problem is related to HAL (as in this Ubuntu bug ##362182). Have you done something else to get the iPod detected by HAL?

Thanks again!

Args, yes. That bug (in UDev actually, I think) has bitten me too.

Whenever I try to use an USB hub (actively powered), Kubuntu randomly doesn't find my devices... including the keyboard, which kinda sucks when rebooting...

Hi I'm a new user to the forums and rather then create a new topic, my problem relates to this issue. I've been looking around google and such trying to get the final answer to this problem.

I have an iTouch 1st gen, un-jailbroken (tried and that didn't work to well either), and through using all of the help I could find I was able to get my computer to recognize that I have a device connected to my USB slot, but it's still not seeing it as an itouch. The cords I use work cause I am able to charge the iTouch, but I'm stuck at this point now.

I would like to know what steps I should take now and if there is any additional information I can show to people to help me resolve this. I was able to get the ipod to show up at all by using iFuse and a command in the terminal to mount the itouch. I have gktpod too, but that's not recognizing the itouch either...just barely, as a camera.

Please help me and thanks.

Hi,

I wrote a tutorial there :
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8502608
but it's probably a bit outdated, and I'm not 100% sure it handles the 1st generation itouch
That one seems more up to date :
http://fatbuttlarry.blogspot.com/2010/0 ... -in-5.html
the basic principle is to install ifuse, gvfs (for gnome only) & libimobiledevice
you then need to configure everything properly to get it to mount automatically
Since 2.3, amarok now sees my 3G itouch & works very nicely (sometimes it can't find it anymore if you unplug+replug and restart amarok but I think it's a kde bug)

No luck here either. Running Kubuntu 10.04 64-bit.

I'm gonna have to pick through the amarok source I guess. I can mount my ipod touch, but it never appears in amarok. need to try to figure out why. (I'm currently testing on fedora 13beta using amarok-2.3.0.90)

Hi,

Too bad I upgraded to Maverick rc...!
My ipod touch is "recognized", but displaying zero track (of course it has 4GB of music which used to be recognized nicely)
Help...!
There is a bug report here :
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245648

Does anyone the exact requirement for amarok to handle itouch/iphone ?
I have ifuse, libgpod, libimobiledevice, gvfs : rhythmbox does it just fine, as used to my locally compiled git amarok...

Bump...
Is anyone successfully using amarok 2.3.x with an iphone/ipod touch (and kde 4.5.1) ?
Is anyone able to define which libs/packages have to be installed ?
I remember going through all HowTos under Karmic before installing packages on Lucid from this PPA : https://launchpad.net/~pmcenery/+archiv ... ter=karmic
It used to work well back then...
What I need to understand, is what kind of support amarok is providing through ifuse.
Which ifuse version ?
which libimobiledevice version ?
Which libgpod version ?
Are those the only needed packages ?
So many questions...

It turns out installing libimobiledevice0 from Lucid & reverting back to libmtp8 & libmtp-dev from Lucid as well fixes the problem.
the itouch appears back again in amarok, with all its tracks !
Any possible reason for that ?

Hallo all,

I am using debian squeeze (stable) with kde 4.5.3 from
http://qt-kde.debian.net/ and amarok 2.4 from squeeze backports (http://backports.debian.org/).

Amarok 2.4 at first didn't recognize the ipod as well as kde solid (no entry under KDE System Control -> Hardware -> external media).

The solution was to revert the debian squeeze libraries back to libimobiledevice.so.0.9.7 and libmtp.so.8.3.2 from ubuntu lucid.

I just replaced the debian squeeze libraries
libmtp.so.8.3.3 and libimobiledevice.so.1.0.2 with the above libraries from http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/i386/l ... 0/download and copied the file /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/31-apple-mobile-device.fdi from libmtp8_1.0.2-1ubuntu1_i386.deb and voila: amarok recognizes the ipod touch.

BUT: kde solid still is not aware of the ipod touch. The device does not show up under external media.

So there is something broken with the above libraries and Amarok does not seem to use kde solid for the detection of ipod touch devices!

I hope this clarifies some of the above mentioned issues

Cheers ari

As it turns out, Amarok recognizes ipod touch 3G device in debian squeeze WITHOUT replacing the original libraries from squeeze mentioned above.

It's only necessary
- to copy the attached HAL information file (shamelessly stolen from Ubuntu Lucid) to /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/31-apple-mobile-device.fdi,
- to logout from KDE,
- to restart HAL and
- login again into kde.

Strange thing is:

If Amarok first is started and afterwards the ipod touch is plugged in, the devices will show up twice in amarok.

If the device is plugged in first and amarok started afterwards the device will show up only once

Hope this helps, sorry for the noise in my last posting
