Whenever I plug my iPod Touch (2nd gen) into my MacBook running Ubuntu 10.10 I get the following error:

DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

It will show up in the file browser but whenever I try to mount it I get that error.

EDIT: I thought that this might be because I had it plugged into a dock, but I tried plugging it in directly to the MacBook with the USB Cable and it still does not work, same error message.

  • I get this same error. Are you running iOS 4.2.1 on your iPod touch? If so, that's the issue. Apple changed something inbetween 4.1 and 4.2.1.

  • Yeah, I am running 4.2.1, so does that make this unsolvable?

  • +1, that worked! On an iPhone 4, version 4.2.1. Took a long time to process those three commands though (around 10 minutes).

I'm having the exact same problem mounting my iPAd running iOS 4.2.1. I run Ubuntu desktop 10.10. If anyone has a solution that would be nice.

My next solution is to run windows 7 in Virtual Box, then install iTunes. I REALLY wish that there were an itunes build for Ubuntu. I tried running Wine and then installing iTunes. Never could get it to work.

///Update

I just followed the instructions in this link: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/12/get-ios4-mountsync-working-in-ubuntu.html

I now am able to mount my iPad!

Well, it seems that since I am running 4.2.1, it just isn't possible.
