Mark, I haven't played with my iPod touch yet, but the "older" models all worked with gtkpod. You might need to tell gtkpod to "open" the ipod by pointing it where it is mounted. Menu: "Edit" -> "Repository/iPod Options" Then click on "Add new repository/iPod" and fill in the details for your iPod. (The backup-file is in my home-dir on my desktop for mine) Any files you manually copy to the iPod will NOT be picked up as a database file needs to be updated as well. Apple also has this annoying tendency to change the DB-structure for every version and gtkpod needs to have specific support for your model for it to work. -- Joost
