[solved] Can't mount Samsung YP-U3 mp3 player

Hi all,
I have a Samsung YP-U3 mp3 player, which currently I can't use as it won't mount. I've spend a while trying to figure this out, so any help is appreciated!
EDIT: I don't wish to use Amarok etc. Also I've tried mtpfs, but it doesn't show any of the actual files. I'm trying go-mtpfs, but can't install it. I get the following response from yaourt:

Some info:
Media player says "Connected, Fully charged (or charging)" for ten seconds or so, and then lights go out.
It isn't in /run/media/user/.
It doesn't show up with fdisk, but does with lsusb:

This is the result of mtp-detect:

Solved.
Firstly, I didn't have git installed. When I did, I could install go-mtpfs, which does a little better than mtpfs by the looks of things.

[Solved]Can't mount external hdd at boot!

Hi!
I'm trying to mount my new external hdd (Lacie USB2) at boot, but without success.
To avoid random device name (sdx, sdy), I would like to use UUID in my fstab file.
I've read this wiki.
I think my configuration is ok, but there's an error at boot saying "Device with UUID xxxxxxxx doesn't exist, can't mount it", or something like that.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
But even with /dev/disk/by-uuid/6853-5BA9 in my fstab file, it fails to automount it.
It says "Special device with UUID=6853-5BA9 does not exist".
The weird thing is that I can mount it manually without problems.
(In fact, that's not true, I've the same problem than steven. May it be a kernel-related problem?)
Or maybe there's a fault in the rest of my fstab line? (iocharset, guid, etc?)
In the case of a kernel related bug, how could I downgrade it?
I've tried with "pacman -U kernel26-2.6.21.6-1.pkg.tar.gz" in /var/cache/pacman/pkg but it broke my xorg server at reboot.

carlitos3373,
You need to use iTunes to transfer music to your iPod. You can download the latest version here:

Hope this helps,

Can i sync itunes with an mp3 player

can and how do i sync itues with my mp3 player (coby)

You don't.
You would need to read the directions that came with the player to learn how to put music on it.

Can I continue to use my MP3 player with M

I have just crossed over to Mac (OS 0.4.) from Windows and would like to keep on using my MP3 player (Creative MuVo200). I am able to sync up with CDs that are already in the music folder but am unable to rip and play whole CDs with either Flip4Mac or even Real Player. The players only seem to be able to play one song at a time rather that open a whole CD. Am I locked into i-tunes?

I have no problem syncing my MP3 player, the problem is with the actual software. I have Windows Media Player, Flip4Mac and Real Player but neither of them read the CD. The only I can do it is by opening a file under the file menu. That doesn't allow me to play the CD though, just play a chosen song within the CD. There also seems to be no way to rip a CD either. I absulutely don't want to use AAC files as they are not compatible with ProTools otherwise I would just stick to i-Tunes. I've also tryed XNJB but have the same problem with that.

Why can't i buy a creative mp3 player in a normal retail sto

i find it really rather disturbing that creative mp3 players are not more widely available in normal retail stores. i li've in one of the top 0 major metropolitan cities in the USA and i go into my local best buy and all they have is a 5GB micro, a 20GB xtra, and a 20GB(?) touch. why is that all they have? if i want a MUVO, i'm screwed. meanwhile that same best buy has every style, size, and color of all the ipod crap and a million accessories (bleh) but NOTHING for creative. the only micro they have is the black one, and only in the 5GB size. i go to another place like Staples, and they have the muvo TX, no micros.
I go next door the the compusa, they've got a full lineup of all the ypod crap, nothing from creative.
i find it really irritating when one wants to say, buy a player for a friend and cannot find what they are looking for. makes it real easy to buy the freaking ypods. ugh.

hey blood, you're completely missing my point... I KNOW i can order them online at a million places.
the poster that said they don't want to compete with prices, that's insane. there would be NO STORES anywhere if stores were really afraid of that. internet prices are lower for EVERYTHING.
my point is i guess, why don't stores stock more stuff from creative (other then soundblaster stuff)? the answer to my own question is probably that creative stuff does not sell as well as ipod stuff.
the reason i say this is a friend of mine was heading out of town and was interesting in getting an mp3 player for the trip so i suggested he might look into the new creative MIX thingy but we everywhere we looked they had nothing, so the dolt ended up getting an ipod shuffle. oh well. we lost another one due to players just not being in the stores. sad!
I bought my zen micro from a retail store.. In canada. In holland in the one electronics store they have the touch,3 colors of micro, 2 muvo players, and a Xtra. They only had the ipod mini...

How can I make the Acrobat Pro MP3 player rewind to the beginning of the sound track.

The small rewind button on the Acrobat Pro MP3 player does not fully rewind the audio, it only jumps back a small amount each time the rewind button pressed. Is there a way to make the rewind jump back to the beginning of the sound track?
If that is not possible, is there a way to use a different skin for the MP3 player--one that would provide better controls?

Thanks Dave,
I thought this was the case, but hoped there was something I was missing.

I can download a song to my mp3 player but the song does not play

when i download the song it wiil not play but it is on the playlist on my mp3

OK.
Not sure why you are in the itunes forum.
Your issue is with your MP3 player. Go to their support page.
Itunes syncs with Apple devices. It has little or nothing to do with other players.
Does your MP3 player support the file type of the song that your downloaded?

[SOLVED]Can't mount USB Flashdrive.

I cannot use my Flash Drive in Linux anymore. I've flashed Arch using Win32ImageWriter, installed it, but now, a few days after, I wanted to use it for something else, but it does not mount.
I've opened KDE Partition Manager, my Flash Drive shows up, but it reports a 2.74 PiB size, even though it's just 8 GB.
dmesg | tail -n10 has the following output:
[ 2302.625827] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off

Yeah, it does not report any partitions, even though I've formatted it in Windows like 10 times, tried to create a bootable GParted USB, copied a bunch of random files.
What can I do? All this happened after Win32ImageWriter, worked fine under Linux Distros before.
Help will be appreciated, Thanks.

Updating from Linux 3.3.4 solved my problem.

I Solved Can't Mount Error/Flashing Orange Light/Not recognized by iTunes!

++IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST!++
I solved all of my Ipod shuffle issues and just uploaded 5 albums worth of songs with no problems! Now I am listening to Black Eyed Peas and it might me my imagination, but I think the sound is vastly improved from before. It took me 3 flippin' days to troubleshoot this and solve the problem, probably 6 hours worth of my time. Apple: You guys need to program your hardware to handle anti-virus software, Window's security updates, etc. Too many software conflicts!
Let me first tell you what happened that caused my Ipod to "die". Simply, I built a brand new custom PC to replace my Dell Inspiron laptop. I purchased my shuffle about six months ago and it worked like a charm until I tried plugging it into my new computer's usb port. Then all **** broke loose and the Ipod would not engage. I went here for support and tried updating it with the current updater (1/10/2006 version) to no avail. I uninstalled all the drivers, wiped everything off my Ipod manually, deleted files, made back-up copies of my library, etc. I wiped everything off my system that had anything to do with an iPod. Nothing worked.
THEN, I came across this article posted on Apple. Hopefully it is still up:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article/html?artnum=93716
Follow each and every step. The steps are laid out well, and nothing was missing in terms of a hidden step. If you follow it to the T, you should be able to restore your Ipod to like-new working order.
Some key things to remember:
1. Make sure you empty your recycle bin after deleting all of the iTunes and iPod related files. Then restart your system. Your system caches copies of files associated with iPod. When it see's another version, the two start conflicting with one another, and that causes problems. Deleting your Temp folder is also critical, and this is outlined in one of the steps in the article above.
2. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you exit out of any anti-virus program you have running, including the firewall while you download AND install the iTunes and iPod software. Install the iTunes software first, restart your computer, then install the iPod updater software, Restart again. Do not dismiss this. It is probably the reason why most people's iPod's won't mount and they simple fail to recognize their system even has a firewall running (even Window's firewall).
3. Be patient and follow the instructions. There are five printed pages in this article and it takes about an hour to go through each step, uninstall software, redownload software, install it, etc. After spending 6 hours troubleshooting this, an hour of actually making progress should be easy!
I hope this helps. If you cannot mount your iPod, don't throw it away or go out and buy a new one. I am confident that you will be able to fix your problems and be listening to music on your shuffle soon!

I tried all this last week, but without success! A whole day, I was looking for a solution, but nothing worked. At least I tried to formate my iPod at another Laptop, but it doesn´t work. (Two weeks ago, I just heard a book from audible. After a short break, the iPod didn´t work no more.)Nice to hear, that you have been succesfull.

[SOLVED]Can´t mount nfs shares!

Hello,
I am trying to get up a fileserver. I installed an old PC with Arch and configerd it over SSH. I followed the wiki over NFS and NFSv4. But everytime I want to mount a share that is in the physical map /home/jozef/shares/downloads, I get the following error:

Are you sure that the nfs module is loaded? Do
lsmod | grep nfs
to check. If "nfs" doesn't appear then that's your problem. Do:
sudo modprobe nfs
and continue.
EDIT: Also, I'll assume both your server and your client machine are connected to the network. You have the network DAEMON "!"-disabled in each machine's /etc/rc.conf. So I'm assuming you're connecting them to the network in some other way, and have verified that you can, for example, ssh from one machine to the other.
Third, you're sure that /share exists on your server machine, that a (presumably empty) directory /share/downloads exists inside it, that another folder is mounted on top of that empty directory? When you type "mount" on the server machine there should be a line containing "on /share/downloads".
Fourth, if your client's ip address is 192.168.0.100 (this will be displayed when you do "ifconfig") then the /etc/exports on your server has been changed to read:
/shares 192.168.0.100(rw,fsid=0,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash)
/shares/downloads 192.168.0.100(rw,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash,nohide)
Then you either typed "exportfs -rf" on the server, or stopped and restarted nfs-server. (I'd stop nfs-server, nfs-common, and rpcbind, then start them up again in reverse order, to be sure.)
STATD_OPTS has no effect in /etc/conf.d/nfs-server. Also, you don't need to use statd if you're using nfs4. So you could change /etc/conf.d/nfs-common to read:
NEED_STATD=no
NEED_IDMAPD=yes
and /etc/conf.d/server and can be blank.
(Then restart everything, as described above.)
If you're using the latest arch packages then portmap has been replaced by rpcbind (which you do have in your DAEMONS line on the server). So you need to change the "portmap:" line in your server's /etc/hosts.allow to "rpcbind:". I also have a "lockd:" line in my /etc/hosts.allow, in addition to what you have. It's probably not the source of your present troubles, and I'm not sure it's necessary. But you could try adding it.
Finally, did you add/change a "Domain = ..." line in the /etc/idmapd.conf on your server, and a corrsponding line in the /etc/idmapd.conf on your client?

So, my root partition, labeled "arch", is ext4 on /dev/sda5. My home partition is btrfs on /dev/sda1.

[Solved] Can't mount former /home in fresh installed Arch_X86-64

Hi,
Due to some problems I've decided to fresh install my Arch. During the fresh install I've created a new (temp) ext3 /home partition on USB memory stick and configured my new fstab to mount the former home as "old_home".
Although I can read that partition (and open files in it) while running a live ubuntu CD, Arch refuses to mount that partition (see terminal output below) maybe thinking it's ext4?
Please advise..
Thanks

Dear DSpider,
Thanks for the fast response.
my /old_home resides on sdb3, its UUID in fstab is CORRECT, and as you can see blkid recognizes it as ext4 -I'll recheck this, because I remember it's ext3.
BTW can I cause a permanent damage to that partition if I modify fstab to ext4 for that partition and try?
My fstab has been automatically created during installation (except for the ntfs-3g entries)...

[SOLVED]Can't mount iPhone/Android devices.

Hi,
Since some update (can't tell exact update) I am unable to mount mobile devices on iOS or Android as a flash drive. It appears as "camera" in my "Available Devices" in KDE and when I try to open it with file manager, it appears blank.
In journalctl I can see the reason, but don't know how to fix it:

I've tried to mount iOS device with ifuse, but it didn't work either.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

It's always like this, no matter if I turn on or off tethering.
mzneverdies, donniezazen,
Ok, this seems to work with android devices but not with iOS. Also when I run detect while my iPhone is plugged in, device list is empty:
$ mtp-detect
Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.libmtp version: 1.1.6
Listing raw device(s)
No raw devices found.
Main goal is to return support of iOS.

[Solved] Can't mount internal, or external, partitions in Thunar.

Hello.
After my most recent full system update, I seem to e missing the ability to mount partitions, and drives, through Thunar.
I'm running a minimal Openbox, with Thunar, desktop.
I haven't uninstalled anything, and here's my '/etc/xdg/openbox/environment' file with the settings I used.
# Set system-wide environment variables here for Openbox
# User-specific variables should be placed in $HOME/.config/openbox/environment
# To set your language for displaying messages and time/date formats, use the following:
#LANG=en_CA.UTF8
# To set your keyboard layout, you need to modify your X config:

# User added
if which dbus-launch >/dev/null && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi
Yes, dbus is still enabled in the daemons, and I have gvfs installed.
EDIT;
Bit by bit, I started to try reinstalling all the auto-mount related packages unsuccessfully, but then I got impatient.
I probably should have done it sequentially, but I forced reinstalled (pacman -Sf *) these dbus packages. After doing those, everything is back to normal.
dbus-core-1.4.16-1-x86_64
dbus-1.4.16-1-x86_64
dbus-glib-0.98-1-x86_64

I had a similar problem with an internal SATA drive. This is what helped me out:

I had to install udisks and create the policy as described in the wiki page.
To allow other users to write on the disk i logged in as root and changed the permissions to the drive in Thunar.
thanks man it did the trick... thanks so much.
now i realize that i could easily find this on the wiki like you but didn't know what to look for.....very confused by devices managing since there are many programs that does similar things: hal,dbus,policy,udev,udisks,etc.....
solved problem....and thread
