 Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2017 1:08 am Post subject: Access iPod Classic HD [Solved] |
 |
|
I'm trying to get some music off my wife's old iPod classic (I think it's v5, but can double check if more specific is needed) on my AMD64 Gentoo machine (via command line). I want to mount the drive as read-only (though RW would be fine) and can't seem to figure out why it isn't working. I understand that the iPod classic's all use HFS+ and I enabled HFS and HFS+ in the kernel as well as the Macintosh Partitioning Scheme. Dmesg comes up with:
| dmesg: | [ 1.597278] usb 1-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci-pci

(I'm not sure where what might be important starts and stops, so this should be a little before and after)
Farther down:

[ 22.897867] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdd] Attached SCSI removable disk |
I also emerged hfsutils, hfsplusutils, and diskdev_cmds. I've rebooted and while sdd is created, no partition comes up (ie: only /dev/sdd exists, not /dev/sdd0). Any thoughts as to why this doesn't come up as a block device?

| sdd is a block device, albeit one with no recognized partition table. What is the output of file -s /dev/sdd? |

Hi,
I dont think you will be able to copy any of the music files of that iPod to your computer, since iPods use a strange onboard database to save songs. You will need something like iTunes or if its still available like gtkpod.
greets, bb

Well that's frustrating... I don't use iTunes, but my wife's concerned that this is such an old iPod (she's had it for years and hasn't synced it for years as well) that syncing this with iTunes will erase all her music unless she's really careful about it. They were songs she had bought DRM free - not through iTunes - so I hoped I could simply copy them over via Linux to be safe about it. Doesn't sound like this'll work then? |

From what I know of Apple, her concerns seem well-founded. Unfortunately, this is an area with which I have little experience. The output from file does not give me any ideas about how to proceed. I cannot say whether your current path is impossible.
I suppose you could use dd to image the entire device to some other storage. That might give you a second chance at recovering anything that Apple "helpfully" erases, but I wouldn't push my luck by assuming I can write the image back to the iPod and have it be exactly as it was before iTunes interfered. Instead, I'd use that image as the target of other recovery/analysis tools to try to dig out the target content. |

Thanks for the input. Analyzing that kind of image is beyond my expertise at the moment (though if I had more time I'd probably still give it a go). Thanks all for the thoughts! |

Hi,
You still have the chance to try gtkpod. I havent used it for ages, but maybe it is possible to grab the music, without the Apple ID.
greets, bb

I've used Amarok+gtkpod for years to sync my music files between my IPOD Classic (also V5, I think) and my Gentoo laptop. Very much plug-and-play. |

The problem is that it's a headless Gentoo I'm using. It's mostly a server, but hoped I could have a command line way of going about this. I tried Amarok for Windows, but I can't seem to find how to even identify the iPod, much less get music off of it... Any experience with the Windows version by chance? (I doubt there's a command line version of Amarok to try?) |

Why does it matter that it's headless?  Forward the X11 application from that system back to your personal system over ssh. If for some strange reason your personal system isn't running an X11 server (perhaps you're in a mixed-use house and don't use Linux on your desktop), you could install a VNC server on the Gentoo system, connect the X11 application to the VNC server, then run a VNC viewer on your non-Linux personal system to see the program that way. |

Not a bad thought. I actually realized I had another option too. Took me a little bit, but I was able to install a Virtualbox on my Windows 10. I had a problem initially connecting the iPod into the Virtualbox, but after it did things went very smoothly. I my main concern with the X11 idea was installing a bunch of X programs that'd I need to remove later. This was a bit more of an encapsulated solution. Thanks all for the input! |
