Read iphone/ipod music in Linux

First of all you need to mount your ipod/iphone. It’s really simple, if you don’t know how just click here.

Ok, I want to advise that I tried this once and I could read my ipod music. If you don’t touch nothing, nothing happens, the problem was that I uploaded some song and then I had to restore the ipod, so try this as your own risk. If you fuck something you should be able to restore your ipod/iphone with no problems, but do this at your own risk.

You need to install Amarok 1.4. Newer versions of Amarok doesn’t support devices (at least yet). To install Amarok 1.4 first remove your other version if you have one installed:

sudo apt-get remove amarok

You can download Amarok for Jaunty from here. You also can find Amarok 1.4 easily in Google.

After you download Amarok look for a tab called “Devices”. Click in it and then click into add a new one. Choose the name you want, and select where your ipod/iphone is mounted – I’m sorry, I can’t install Amarok now and I don’t know the names exactly – and you also have to select to use the ipod profile (I think it was called profile).

Now you can see all the tracks of your ipod/iphone. You also should be able to play them with no problems and your device will work perfectly after this. The problem I had was when I try to upload a song, it looks like it works but then in the ipod/iphone the music library is broken and you have to restore it. I write this manual to let you know how to access to the ipod library and because maybe you are able to upload songs. Good luck! If you’ve tried it comment if this worked for you or not.

iPhone / iPod Touch over USB in Linux

UPDATE: Problems in Karmic Koala? Read this: http://cgsbay.com/ipod-iphone-karmic-koala/ and you won’t have them! If you use other distro and iFuse didn’t work for you, try the tutorial, maybe it will work!

I found the program I use in my other computer, mount var/mobile/media from your ipod Touch or Iphone (where the music and photos are) is really easy, you only need to install a program called iFuse. After installing it you can plug in your device and it will appear in your desktop.

If you use Ubuntu, you can follow this steps:

1. Add the package to your sources, symply in the terminal: gksudo /etc/apt/sources.list and add at the end the line you need depending your version of Ubuntu;

Karmic
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonabeck/ppa/ubuntu karmic main

Jaunty
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonabeck/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

Intrepid
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonabeck/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main

Hardy
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonabeck/ppa/ubuntu hardy main

1.2. If you want, in the terminal add the PPA key (it should be optional)

sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com e20da6af9caee36095d1282ef104610cf0876ac9

2. Update package list, in terminal: sudo apt-get update
3. Install iFuse, in terminal: sudo apt-get install ifuse

Now you can plug in your ipod Touch or Iphone and it will appear in your desktop.

If you are using other distribution you can check into iFuse webpage to download the program.

Internet Terminal

Published on September 4, 2009 in MySql, PHP and Projects. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , .

This is a project that I think I started about 2 months ago, but now I’ve been improving it. Internet Terminal is a program made with PHP & MySql that lets you use some functions (commands) like in a computer terminal. There are a lot, and when I need I add new functions as it’s very fast and simple, for example today I installed wordpress and I wanted to unzip the package so I made a function called unzip. Right now IT has this functions installed:

login [password] -> get full access / it’s not used after you are logged in
o [site] -> open [site] (it works with abreviatures)
d [name] -> open a stored text file
new ‘[Ref]‘ ‘[Name]‘ ‘[Result]‘ -> create a new value for a function or replace it. Note: use %pre% to include previous value
delete ‘[Ref]‘ ‘[Name]‘ -> it deletes one stored value
show [Ref] -> it shows you all the stored values for a Ref / Note: If [Ref] is sessions it will show you the number of sessions
session [Number] (time) (ip) -> it shows you the [Number] session, and if you write time or/and ip it will include dates and ips
logout -> it deletes your login cookie
calc -> it shows a calc, to disable it type anything, it works up to you text something new on the terminal
echo [string] -> it shows the HTML you put, its only needed if you are going to use one of the function words
exit -> it put the screen white
help -> list of most common commands
mkdir ‘[dir]‘ -> it makes a dir in [dir]
rmdir ‘[dir]‘ -> it deletes [dir] if it’s a directory
rm ‘[file]‘ -> it deletes [file]
cp ‘[file1]‘ ‘[file2]‘ -> it copyes [file1] to [file2]
rename ‘[file1]‘ ‘[file2]‘ -> it renames [file1] to [file2]
ls ‘[dir]‘ -> it lists [dir]
upload -> a upload program appears (default folder is ../files/uploads as it’s meant to be to upload files to File Browser Alpha)
unzip ‘[file]‘ ‘[folder]‘ -> it unzips [file] in [folder]

First, I made Internet Terminal because I was used to Linux Terminal and I wanted something similar to store information on Internet, the first functions let you save HTML texts and links. If you use opera, Internet Terminal is really incredible as you can insert the commands directly from the browser bar!

The program is password protected as it has got some functions that only me should use as rm (remove) or upload. I’ll release a beta of this program soon.

Hello world!
