My desktop machine at the office is F6, 32-bit (fully updated). On one of my F7 machines which I just tried (x86_64, Intel Core Duo), the "Configure Amarok" shows the device and shows sdb3 as an Apple iPod media device. It shows up in /media as "Rick Stevens's iPod" (with spaces). However, clicking on the "Connect" icon causes a "Media Device: No mounted iPod found". Now, since the automounter mounted it in media, I don't have a "mount" command configured in Amarok. Could that be the issue? > I'm planning to finally get an updated libgpod > pushed to F7, hopefully early next week. FC6 will probably stay where > it is.

On my F7, it's libgpod-0.4.2-1.fc7, both i686 and x86_64 versions (machine is an Intel Core Duo). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - "Doctor!
