Error when plugging iPod Touch into MacBook

  • 772

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.

  2. 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.
