Hi James, Sitting here this evening I remembered you had posted this so I thought I'd give it a try. While there's a lot of life I still don't have a connection. Here's what I see following along with your commands: 1) idevice_id just prints a help list. However idevice_id -l does give me a serial number. 2) ideviceinfo prints lots of information from the ipod. 3) idevicepair pair & idevicepair validate report success. Great so far. 5) ifuse /mnt/ipod does mount the ipod. I can cd to /mnt/ipod and see directories, etc. k2 ipod # ls -la total 4 drwxr-xr-x 0 root root 204 Dec 31 1969 . drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Nov 4 17:50 .. drwxr-xr-x 0 root root 102 Dec 31 1969 DCIM drwxr-xr-x 0 root root 102 Dec 31 1969 Downloads -rw-r--r-- 0 root root 0 Dec 31 1969 com.apple.itunes.lock_sync drwxr-xr-x 0 root root 204 Dec 31 1969 iTunes_Control k2 ipod # At this point I start gtkpod but cannot find the ipod. I'm wondering what root might need to do to make /mnt/ipod visible to my user account? Should I be adding my id to some groups possibly? Something else? Thanks for the write-up. - Mark
