Just installed 11.10 64-bit Hooked up ipod touch 2nd gen, and nothing. OS doesn't attempt to mount it, and opening a terminal and running lsusb results in it listing every device connected to my USB ports, except the ipod. I have tried different ports, and confirmed that the cable works by charging through a Wall USB adaptor. Need some help here guys

Hardware: Mobo: ASUS M4a78-e HDD: WD Velociraptor 300 GB 10k RPM VGA: ATi Radeon HD 5870

  • Can you test that a different computer can see or mount it? The device is supported and should work no problem. Testing that it will charge does not guarantee the data pins are working, but it's a good indication at least. Dec 16, 2011 at 11:05
  • It worked on my win7 machine (same pc, i just put 11.10 on it) and on my Acer Aspire 1 ZG5 Netbook, which is running 10.10, which i tested just now Dec 16, 2011 at 18:54
  • booting while the iPod is connected results in the ipod confirming its hooked and charging, but once the OS loads it ceases charging and starts running off of battery (only reproducible on the 11.10 desktop) Dec 16, 2011 at 18:56
  • after you plug in your ipod, what is the output of dmesg|tail?

From the OP:

I ran into a separate issue with the bootloader and win7 on the other partition, so I had to repartition and reinstall both OSes. This time I pulled my secondary HDD I use for storage (this resolved the bootloader issue), and made sure I had my ipod connected while the Live CD ran the installer. Everything works now.

I had an Ipod long time ago and it had two modes. Itune and mass storage. I don't know if ubuntu can recognize the "itune mode". Try to switch it with itune on another computer.

I've had this happen a few times on my iPod shuffle, and in all cases it was solved by resetting the device. Apple maintains a page for how to do this here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320
