iPod Touch 4G cannot be mounted, but is recognized in Nautilus

#272

I am stuck trying to mount my new ipod touch 4G to my Linux Mint 12
machine, although I got pretty far: it is "seen" in Nautilus, but it
refuses to be mounted. In the Terminal, I get this error:

sudo ifuse /media/Mimtier/ -s
Failed to start AFC service 'com.apple.afc' on the device.

What does this mean? Can anything be done about it? It seems to me that
there is no iFuse version for Oneiric available although I still can get
iFuse through Synaptic.

Thanks for a short feedback

    Thanks for your report.

    A few questions:
    What (error) message you get on "... Nautilus ... refuses to be mounted" in detail?
    Why do you "sudo"? You know that you don't need that and can unmount using "fusermount -u "?
    Why do you add the "-s" option?
    Which version of libimobildevice is your system using and which iOS version is running on your iPod?

    Please run ifuse again. pass it the "--debug" option and post the output again.

    Here I am again after an absence for a couple of days.
    To get back to your comments:

    When I do

    sudo ifuse /media/Mimtier/ -s

    I get:

    Failed to start AFC service 'com.apple.afc' on the device.

    That's all.

    Why do you "sudo" Frankly, I copied the instruction from a Howto on the Net. It is not my own idea.

    Why do you add the "-s" option? See above...

    Which version of libimobildevice is your system using and which iOS version is running on your iPod? On my system (64bit) I have libimobildevice2 version 1.1.1-1ubuntu1, and the iPod Touch has iOS 5.1.1 (9B206)

    When I do:

    ifuse -debug

    I get:

    ERROR: No mount point specified

    Hope that this is what you want to know. I have created a folder "Mimtier" in /media already, but to no avail. Maybe something else is missing...

    When I try to mount the iPod in Nautilus, I get a complaint about rights (error -15). The iPod is FAT-formatted under Windows.
