I too am fighting with getting an iPod nano to mount. I'm using KDE and when I attach the iPod via USB an icon pops up on the screen, but it won't mount the iPod giving the error message "Method "Mount" with signature "ssas" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" doesn't exist" I only got this far after following the hints in http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?p=717172#post717172 I think it may be related to a bug in HAL which they were discussing in ubuntu forums https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/66068 Chris
