I wanted to mount an ipod through the firewire port... Im not terribly good with the mount command in the command line interface, and haven't been able to find stuff online.
Anyone have a clue?

It should just mount when you plug it in. Doesn't it?

iTunes doesn't mount the iPod, the OS does automatically. (But if it's set to, which it is by default, iTunes will automatically unmount the iPod once it's been updated.)

Okay? I just want to know how to use the mount command to mount the ipod through usb and firewire. I'm aware that it shows up in iTunes.

Doesn't the iPod need to be set to work in Disk Mode (in iTunes) before it'll mount in the finder?
