Ipod touch not mountable

Martin,
Thanks for yr response. I have the same issue as root, normal user or using sudo.

vink@debian:~$ sudo usbmuxd -v -f
[17:45:06.283][3] usbmuxd v1.0.0 starting up [17:45:06.283][4] Creating socket [17:45:06.283][4] Initializing USB [17:45:06.284][4] 0 devices detected [17:45:06.284][3] Initialization complete [17:45:12.980][4] Caught SIGUSR1/2 but we weren't started in --udev mode, ignoring [17:45:13.292][4] Found new device with v/p 05ac:1293 at 5-3

vink@debian:~$ ideviceinfo
recv: Success
usbmuxd_get_device_list: Did not get response to scan request (with result=0)...
No device found, is it plugged in?

Anything else I can check?

The issue is most likely a misconfigured system.

Did you ever install libiphone (have traces of it left in /usr/lib/libiphone*)?

Please run "sudo usbmuxd -v -f" and keep it running in a terminal.
Open another one and enter "ideviceinfo" there (non root).

The usbmuxd output should show more than the "[17:45:13.292][4] Found new device with v/p 05ac:1293 at 5-3" line.
Does usbmuxd perhaps exit/crash after this line or why is there no more output (there must be more)?

Install is clean. No leftovers.

When I run usbmuxd without the device being plugged in I get this:
vink@debian:~$ sudo usbmuxd -v -v -f
[sudo] password for vink: [17:00:32.052][3] usbmuxd v1.0.0 starting up [17:00:32.053][4] Creating socket [17:00:32.053][5] client_init [17:00:32.053][5] device_init [17:00:32.053][4] Initializing USB [17:00:32.053][5] usb_init for linux / libusb 1.0 [17:00:32.054][4] 0 devices detected [17:00:32.054][3] Initialization complete

On the other terminal I call ideviceinfo without the device being plugged in. The muxd output then looks like this:
[17:01:32.219][4] New client on fd 7 [17:01:32.220][5] Client command in fd 7 len 16 ver 0 msg 3 tag 2 [17:01:32.220][5] send_pkt fd 7 tag 2 msg 1 payload_length 4 [17:01:32.220][5] Client 7 now LISTENING [17:01:33.220][4] Client 7 connection closed [17:01:33.220][4] Disconnecting client fd 7

And the other terminal shows it can't find the device (logical):
vink@debian:~$ ideviceinfo
No device found, is it plugged in?

When I plug in the device:
[17:02:14.517][4] Caught SIGUSR1/2 but we weren't started in --udev mode, ignoring [17:02:15.064][4] Found new device with v/p 05ac:1293 at 5-4

Then I do a ideviceinfo again:
vink@debian:~$ ideviceinfo
recv: Success
usbmuxd_get_device_list: Did not get response to scan request (with result=0)...
No device found, is it plugged in?

Something strange going on here. Appreciate your time.

On the last step, with a plugged in device, please look again at what usbmuxd outputs in the other terminal.
Basically I need the full output of usbmuxd after plugging in the device and running ideviceinfo in parallel.

Well it does not give anymore output and it remains running. There is no sudden kill of usbmuxd or anything like that. No other output either. When I plug out the device and plug it into a other usb port I need to restart usbmuxd to respond. But no messages after it says "Found new device with ..."

Installed v1.0.4 no change to what was happening before. Made sure there where no other instances of usbmux running. Any other options I can look at?

Still, please post the output of preferably of the latest usbmuxd git master with the verbose flags.

Also list the versions of libimobildevice, libplist and check /usr/local/lib/ for any leftover "libiphone/libimobiledevice" libraries.
