Re: [Banshee-List] Ipod touch not synching

[Phil Trimble <philtrimble gmail com>]

Hi Gary,

Unfortunately I think that the library that Banshee uses to interact with ipods does not support 4g ipod touch. Banshee uses libgpod (see here: http://www.gtkpod.org/wiki/Libgpod). I downloaded the latest source available and it looks like they state that it won't work:

iPhone 4/iPod Touch 4/iPad/Nano 6g are still unsupported in this release.

However, libgpod now has a mechanism to dynamically load

a module named $libdir/libgpod/libhashab.so. This will be useful to

easily enable support for these devices if someone comes up with a

way to compute the music database checksum.

Without seeing your log files my best guess is that this is your issue. Once libgpod introduces the support for your device Banshee would be able to pick up it up.

To clarify, when I deleted everything on the ipod, the ipod would not
play the music that Banshee said it had put on the ipod.
