Re: [gentoo-user] udev rules for an iPod Touch?

[James Broadhead]

Your user should be in plugdev, with the mountpoiny rwx by plugdev. I have
root:plugdev rwxrwxr-x.

I have more written, but I'm travellong atm.

Use app-pda/ideviceinstaller -l to get AppIds & then use ifuse --appid to
mount Apps 'Documents' folders (to pass them music/videos/ebooks).

I needed ifuse & libimobiledevice from git for my updated ipad1.
