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(I’ve read the Apple docs but they don’t solve my problem and are outdated.)

    erm srry but I have no idea where to ask for help on my problem because I have tried EVERYTHING.

    ok so yesterday I wanted to upload new songs and I knew my iPod had some virus or something on it from a few songs I downloaded earlier but I was like “oh I don’t want to restore because if I do I’ll loose songs.” and yeah, if I did restore I’d lose like 3000 songs so yeah ahah because all my other songs we’re on a different computer that..oh..doesn’t work anymore. So I used Floola and then I went to upload some songs in to my ipod..and then suddenly my labtop froze, and ipod and i was like wtf. so I hit ctrl alt and del and restarted the computer. and my ipod froze on the “do not disconnect” screen. So I was like WTF. and then I restarted my ipod like 19023409324023 times and it froze a whole lot on the apple screen so that pissed me off. and then when it started working I tried restoring. and itunes kept saying “you need to reformat your ipod to itunes cuz it wont recongnize it and your ipod is corrupted and needs to be restored or you can re plug your ipod in and out of the computer” or something think that. and so I did…I restored it like 02984029384092380923840293 times and it STILL said the same freaking thing. and for 4 hours i was up trying to fix this mofo ipod. so I was like oh what if tried it in disk mode and so i did and then the first time i tried it, something wierd happened to my ipod and it was like in computerized text and i was like wtf. and then i started playing around with it, i honestly forgot what it said but it had like a some wierddd shit on it. and it said press menu and some other button for another page or whatever. and i pressed menu and then it had a bunch of stuff on it and i scrolled down down down and i found restart and i hit that and then i was back to where am i right now…freaking lost on how to restore this dead ipod.

    so someone please help me. and sorry for using this for my personal needs because like I said I was up for 4 hours and I’m probaly gonna be up longer trying to fix this. and I need some suggestions atleast, please.

    and sorry again.
    and probally you want to contact me on email because I doubt I might look at this page again after the next 3 days.
