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
I have Nano 7 as well and I tried many things over the years. However there isn’t a good solution to this. I have a Windows 7 VM just for my iPod and installed an old iTunes just to put music on it. You can use Gnome Boxes for this job.
Thanks. Do you think you could help me with it?
Sure.
First, install Gnome Boxes. Then find a Windows 7 ISO, any will do.
Let me open my PC for the next steps.
OK I’m here.
Click on + to select the ISO from file. It will start the installation process. Install Windows 7 with its steps. 20 GB space and 4 GB RAM would suffice for virtual machine.
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.
Aight. 8 Minutes till done.
OK, ping me when you need.
Thanks :D. You are insanely helpful.
No problem! Just helping a fellow penguin. :)
You can get yourself a Windows 7 ISO from here. https://massgrave.dev/windows_7_links.html
Grabbed the first one I saw.
Don’t grab the first one. :)
Pick one what language you need and also pick a 64-bit one.
