Arch not detecting iPod Touch device

Hello everyone! I have an issue with my iPod Touch when I connect it to my laptop.
I installed the gvfs-afc and ifuse packages and when I rebooted with my iPod connected I get a folder in Thunar called "Documents on iPod Touch", but it only contains a folder called Skype which is empty.

lsblk only detects my hard drive:

NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda      8:0    0 238.5G  0 disk
├─sda1   8:1    0   511M  0 part /boot
├─sda2   8:2    0   237G  0 part /
└─sda3   8:3    0     1G  0 part [SWAP]

lsusb detects the iPod, here is the output:

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 05ac:12aa Apple, Inc. iPod Touch 5.Gen [A1421]

dmesg also has some output about the iPod:

[    1.081048] usb 2-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd
[    1.081058] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci-pci
[    1.209100] usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=12aa
[    1.209104] usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[    1.209106] usb 2-1: Product: iPod
[    1.209108] usb 2-1: Manufacturer: Apple Inc.
[    1.209110] usb 2-1: SerialNumber: be27a585bc3e38e65271649e2dadd202c7c92880

Thunar didn't detect the iPod when it was plugged in, I had to reboot while it was connected for it to detect it, and after reboot if I try removing and re-inserting the cable it doesn't show in Thunar anymore.
I would appreciate any help on the matter, I'm pretty new to Arch and can't find the solution to this problem.

Re: Arch not detecting iPod Touch device

Does mounting it directly with ifuse work?

What's the output of

ideviceinfo

?
