iPod help needed… automount issues in Tiger

I plug my iPod in, iTunes does it’s thing and then it auto-unmounts. The problem here is that without it being mounted, Audioscrobbler doesn’t let me update my iPod to tell it what all i’ve been listening to. This used to work but i have a sneaking suspicion that Tiger does everything via automount/unmount so that i can’t stay connected to my iPod since they’re afraid i’ll steal something.

How do i manually mount my iPod so that i can run Audioscrobbler scripts on it?

(I’ve read the Apple docs but they don’t solve my problem and are outdated.)

    Okay, i bought my ipod about 5 days ago. I had turned it on for about mins, then i turned it off. Now what do you know, it wont turn on again. I dont even have any fucking songs on it and when I plug it into the comp it wont turn on either, I’ve also probably charged it for more than 3 hours and its pissing me off. I looked for the apple company phone number but i can’t find it anywhere. So if someone can tell me the phone number or tell me how to fix this, I would appreciate it a lot. btw my email is diesel_sc@hotmail.com if anyone wants to send me some info.

    My ipod switches on fine and there is no problems with battery, but the songs have been wiped from it and i can’t upload any songs onto it. they are in my itunes library but they won’t upload. it then asks me if i want itunes to select 300 songs to upload to it. i clicked yes once to see what would happen, and it said it uploaded them. i looked on my ipod and they still hadnt been uploaded. do i need to fixed by apple?

So i didnt.. After 3 seconds a picture of this big battery comes up on the ipod with a lighting picture on the side of the battery.. DOes this mean that it is recharging or it is not. Plz answer A.S.A.P.

    Hey,
    Need help with an iPod mini please!! When i turn it on the folder with exclamation mark comes up and it turns off again. I’ve tried resetting and updating it and left it charging from laptop overnight but still no joy! I downloaded latest version of iTunes while ipod was plugged in and it recognised it and updated all the songs on the ipod but once i disconnected it the folder symbol came up and it turned off. It will only charge from the computer. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks 🙂

    IN RESPONSE TO THOSE WHO HAVE TROUBLE WITH THEIR IPODS FREEZING. YOU SHOULD HOLD DOWN THE CENTRE CIRCLE BUTTON AND THE MENU BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME FOR APROX 10 SECONDS OR UNTIL IT BLAKS OUT, THE IPOD CAN NOW BE TURNED ON AND OFF AGAIN WITH NO LOST MEMORY.

  32. madison

    i have an ipod mini and i download my songs from limewire. then import the songs onto itunes, to be downloaded onto my ipod. but whenever i upload the songs to my ipod, other songs that my dad has downloaded comes onto my ipod and they are like 80’s music and i personally don’t like 80’s. (yuck) And then i have to delete his songs so they wont go onto my ipod. and i have like 800 songs and on top of his songs there are about 1,500. so i have to delete a ton of songs and the point is i was wondering if anyone knew how to get his songs from not going onto my ipod? thank you so much. anything is apprecated. : )) many blessings.

    I just plugged my ipod in to update it today and it came up with this rubbish about having to restore and update it because the ipod was corrupt. I did what it said but it did not help and it ended up deleting all the music off my ipod! Luckily all the music is still on my itunes though! I’m all out of ideas so can you tell me what to do?

  34. Liz

    I plugged my ipod nano into my computer to update it. It usually only takes a few minutes, but the itunes doesn’t even recognize that it is plugged in. Now the Do Not disconnect sign won’t go away and I can’t turn on the ipod. HELP!
