After searching the net some time, I've finally given up. Does anyone know a way to update the software of iPods from linux? The wiki on the gentoo-wiki pages is outdated, I could not find the program it directed me to download.

The only way I can think of would be to run windows and itunes in vm, and update through that.

Be careful, though, as the new firmware broke iPod apps on linux.

Thats not true. Only the newest iPod's don't work right away, although there seems to be a solution for that now. The older iPod's can be updated and work just the same as before.

If you are using an older IPod u can use gtkpod, which for me has worked flawlessly... If it is the newer Ipod (with video & touch screen) then I have no idea, I'd assume (probably incorrectly) that gtkpod can still be used. I had read that the new firmware did lock out linux users, but that is was cracked within 24 hours. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks

I suggest you to use gtkpod svn, if gtkpod has already the crack, its in svn ;) here my ebuilds:

LoSeR_5150, Dottout: You're not reading the question. The question was, how to update the iPod's firmware from within Linux, not how to use the new iPods with Linux...
