Cannot work with iPod Touch 2G on Linux Mint 10

I am currently having the Linux Mint 10 Gnome with 32-bits and also got an iPod Touch 2nd gen which is 32GB. When I was having my Linux Mint 8 and 9 I was able to see the music in it. When I connect my iPod to the Linux Mint 10, then I get the following message.

I was using the Rhythmbox to open the music present in my iPod Touch. I can find the iPod under the “Devices” in the Rhythmbox. But when I click on it, it says that there is no music in my iPod. But I can play and browse music directly from the iPod. Is there any other way to solve this issue?

I think you can try using the gtkpod. I personally use this with my iPod nano which is of 5th gen. I am using this from many months and did not find any problem with it. But after getting this you need to create directory for your iPod in the program folder of the iPod. I think this would work if you create a proper link to your iPod. So I think you first get the gtkpod and then create a root for it in the Linux.

I think that if you want to connect the iPod or your iPhone in the Linux then you can try using the iFuse. You can directly connect your iPod touch with the Linux system with the help of USB cable. It is just simple to use this similar to using the USB disk drive. You don’t require any “jailbreaking” for the iFuse to use. Also you don’t require any other software to get it installed for using this iFuse.
