Finally!
I FINALLY managed to get the iPod Touch (First Generation) to work with
Ubuntu using gtkpod.
When you add songs/albums to gtkpod everything is dandy, same when you
transfer songs to the iPod Touch BUT after you've ejected the iPod Touch
(in gtkpod) the songs don't show up on the iPod
Only problem now is that I can't unmount the iPod (aka: iTouch) as the
user, I have to unmount it as root.
Does:
fusermount -u
work?
It said I had to be in the 'fuse' group, which I am, so I'm not sure
what's wrong there...

Well, iFuse definitely worked! After installing iFuse the iTouch
appeared on the desktop as an iPod.

I'll give that a try on Wednesday when I next see the chap.

Remember to get the download from the website rather than through

Certainly none 'are required' but it's not possible to mount an iPod touch
filesystem without hacking into the iPhone OS firmware, which has dubious
legality. If you have the 3.0 update then I've found this post which isn't

Hi all,
I have a work colleague who's fed up with Windows on his laptop (not
sure of the make/model I'm afriad) and is more than willing to give
Ubuntu a shot. But... he has a first generation iTouch (not jailbroken,
(jailbreaked?)) which he (obviously) wants to continue using.
Does Ubuntu
I myself have a second gen iPod touch, and I believe that you can't do
much natively in ubuntu without delving deep into ssh (which isn't
ideal for anyone) What I've had to do is set up a virtual machine with
windows in it, and sync my iPod touch through iTunes in windows.
You can find out
Yeah I have an iPhone 3G and my Dad has an iPod Touch (I think 2nd gen).
On 9.04, we have a VM of Windows XP, the only difficulties arise when
updating the firmware.
I found when I updated to 3.0.1 that when it goes into Recovery Mode,
and it's different 'device', VirtualBox (of course others
Thanks for the replies David and James. Things look hopeful then...
Is it possible to upload mp3's to the iTouch without iTunes (RhythmBox?
Since it comes with Ubuntu) as my colleague readily admits that iTunes
is 'rubbish' and 'hate[s] it with a passion'. :D

Sorry, I'm afraid not. The iPod touch firmware is encrypted in such a
way that it is very hard to get into it in the first place. I'm not
aware of any way of getting any library but iTunes to work. If
anything did work, it would have to be through windows (and I'd be
delighted to hear
IIRC there is a way to do it, I used to sync my iphone with amarok. From
memory, (Google will be your friend) the ubuntu package was called

Apologies for top post, my phone doesn't give me any other option :-(

Yeah the only blog posts I can see myself are from 2007:

http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/07/03/how-to-manage-your-ipod-using-rhythmbox-in-ubuntu/
Thanks for the info folks.
I have an iPod Classic and use Amarok 1.4.x which is awesome. Shame
Amarok won't work with the iTouch.
Ok, what about running iTunes with WINE, would that work? Or must it be
a VM?
I don't mind setting all these things up for the guy, but if just one
thing happens,
A quick look at iTunes 8 (which is needed to sync iPod touches) in the
wine appdb comes up with
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=versioniId=14793
. Unfortuantly the reporter says that syncing with iPhones doesn't
work, so I'm also guessing that iPod touches won't either.
Yeah it's a shame that they didn't make it 'more' compatible with Linux
(I say more, but it technically isn't, but that's for another day ;-P)
Also, nice portraits on your website ;-)
I haven't run it in WINE, but I'm not sure it would work anyway:
Thanks guys, I'll try and get his laptop from him, use my wifi, get it
all set up (hopefully!) then return it to him, as I'd need the internet
to get the Ubuntu extras for playing mp3/dvd stuff...
