Hey Linux community. I have an ipod and I’m trying to put music on it. Itunes simply will not run and it won’t recognise stuff I put on it through files. Is there any thing I can try/use? Information: Linux type: Linux Mint Cinnamon Ipod type: 1.1.2 PC, Ipod Nano, 7th Gen

    Once you installed it, start the VM and plug in your iPod. For VM to see it, on right top there is a … menu, go preferences from there. Switch to Devices & Shares tab. It should see your iPod now, just enable it. Also set a shared directory from below so you can put your music files there before uploading them to your iPod. This is the iTunes version I use: https://www.filehorse.com/download-itunes-64/35820/

    Before forget, use a 64-bit Windows.

              This thread makes me so happy. Following along watching good people on the internet help each other solve problems with each other for no other reason than to be kind. Thanks for being a kind person.

                Being happy for someone else is also kind, so likewise.

                Also helping people who use FOSS has some weird pleasure. :)

                    Can you check the device manager inside Windows for this:

                    Uninstall the “Red Hat VirtIO Ethernet Adapter” in the device manager, after that, simply search for new hardware devices.

                    Even if you cannot connect to internet (normally that shouldn’t be a problem since VM use the internet through host machine), you can still download the said iTunes outside of the VM and install it via shared folder. In the end you don’t need internet to put iPod some music.
