Apple products on Linux?

Question

linux

How is Linux compatible with Apple products? Interested in iPod Nano 5G in Ubuntu. When connected to a computer, will it show up as a removable storage device, or is iTunes indispensable?

Answer 1

Yes, it will be displayed as a removable device and yes, itunes is indispensable :)
But instead of itunes, you can use Songbird + ipod plugin.
A chic player, although he eats a lot. You can upload music, somehow through one place of the video. The covers were crookedly installed. Books and podcasts are a disaster :)

Answer 2

Actually:

Nevertheless Ubuntu works very well with iPods, except for the newest generation iPod Touch, iPhone, 5th generation Nano iPod and any other future generation Apple portable devices where Apple changed their systems so that they no longer show up as generic storage devices.

How is Linux compatible with Apple products?

Not compatible at all, alas. Everything is tied to iTunes. When iTunes was just a player, I loved it, when it became a kind of monster, a single point of interaction between Apple products and their own services, it began to annoy and strain me. It has become much slower to work, under OS other than OSX and Win it doesn’t work at all (you can start it, but you can’t sniff it with the device), etc. I personally gave up this business, now I’m calmly working under my favorite OS, since Android is on the side, what OS do you have on the BB.

Answer 4

There is a semblance of itunes - FLOOLA www.floola.com/home/
works
great with my ipod nano

Answer 5

Almost every player has support, built-in or plug-in extensions. It is possible to work as with a mass storage device, but these files will not be visible from the player.

Answer 6

I read that under ubuntu itune is run on wine and after that the device is detected

Answer 7

I have nano 16 gb. Pour through the rhythmbox

Answer 9

Ubuntu 10.04 works with everything up to Ipod Touch via rhythmbox. You can upload music to the ipod and merge it to the computer from the ipod, listen to music directly from the ipod. Personally checked on the ipod touch. And the old ipods of the classic type, they worked with hard drives before. I really don't know what nano is, but I think it will work in 10.04+
For any firmware updates, etc. You will need iTunes, but it's probably easier to find Windows somewhere for this than to suffer with it in Vine.

Answer 10

“Get wet” to the question - did you come up with something for the iPhone (the very first one)? As far as I understand, floola does not work with it.
