How do I mount an iPod Touch with Banshee?

Question

I'm using the Banshee media player with my iPod Nano 5G and it works fine, but for some reason it won't recognise the Touch 2G at all this error message comes up:

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

How do I mount my iPod?

Thanks Robin

This is just a hunch but it might work to do what I did. http://askubuntu.com/questions/27141/nothing-happens-when-i-connect-my-iphone-3g-to-my-laptop Look at my accepted answer, on edit2! — Alvar, Mar 03 '11 at 20:22

Just follow this instructions:

Execute this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pmcenery/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Just in case, execute this (unless you know you have both installed):

sudo apt-get install ifuse gvfs libimobiledevice1
Connect your iDevice and execute:

idevicepair unpair
With the iDevice plugged, unlock the screen and execute:

idevicepair pair
idevicepair validate
Unplug the device and plug it in again, it should now mount as it did before

This problem is caused by a bug in the 4.2.1 update.

Sorry that was my "hunch" – Alvar Mar 03 '11 at 20:23
Followed those instructions, but was given the error that libimobiledevice1 no longer existed, and to try libimobiledevice2, (which I did) and then the error idevicepair: command not found. – Oct 20 '11 at 00:09
You may also need to install libimobiledevice-utils (to get idevicepair). – DSM Mar 26 '12 at 16:24
