There you will see a link to Open with Dolphin. This performs the mount. I would think that the apps you talk about would require it to be mounted. There are two ways of dealing with the umount - you can either select the ipod in the Places panel of dolphin, and right-click on it for Safely Remove, or you can use the notifier again. In the notifier, if you hover over the ipod entry you will see an eject symbol at the right-hand side. Click on that. Both methods work the same way. HTH Anne > >I need more info to even guess.
