[SOLVED] Problem mounting iPod

Hi guys,

I'm trying to mount an iPod Nano, but it's not being recognized. I use to plug many flash drives on my computer and all of them get automounted. When I plug the iPod, lsusb recognizes it, but it does not get automounted, and no device at /dev for the iPod is available either. These are the outputs I have.

lsusb

/dev/sda4       133869645   312576704    89353530   83  Linux

I just can't mount it. All my /dev/sda[#] are my hard disk partitions.

Any help?

Thanks.
