I've inherited an iPod touch, and am trying to see how well it will work with Debian.
So far, not well. When I first plugged it in, KDE asked what I wanted to do with it, and I told it to open a new Konqueror window, and it showed a few files/directories, but I was unable to do anything with them; upon trying to access the files, either they were empty or reported an error of no longer existing. After installing two or three iPod-related items (ipod and maybe a couple of others; I'm running sid), now when I try to plug it in, the KDE window tries to open but then sounds off the glass-breaking sound of an error and complains that the requested device could not be found on the USB port. When I run "ipod --list" (even as sudo), I get "No iPod devices present". Nothing I've tried with Amarok seems to recognize it. The back of the unit claims to be a model A1213 (8GB); the internal "About" screen reports: Version: 2.0 (5A347) Model: MA623LL Googling hasn't turned up much help for me, so I'm hoping one of you folks can help me get it working; I'd hate to have to resort to using a Mac just to put some audio files on this thing.
