[iPod 5G] Read iPod native playlists in Rb database
geruvah:
Alright, now that I'm understanding this, I know where the problem is.
"EGGO" is my username. "ALAIN" is my iPod's name; it has nothing in it other than your usual folders (Calendars, Contacts, Notes, and I also added an empty folder called Music).
--- Quote ---rsync: link_stat "/Users/EGGO/Volumes/Alpha/Music/*" failed: No such file or directory (2)
--- End quote ---
I store my music (with the Music and Itunes folder) on a seperate harddrive (named Alpha).
"rsync -avW --progress --size-only --delete Volumes/Alpha/Music/* /Volumes/ALAIN/Music/"
So the problem, it seems, is that despite saying Volumes/Alpha/Music, it points to it after going through the users when it shouldn't since it's in a whole different hard drive.
Sorry if this is trying your patience. I thought that would've been it, but I am having a better understanding how this thing works.

No problem at all. I believe you're just missing a single "/", you have
--- Code: ---rsync -avW --progress --size-only --delete Volumes/Alpha/Music/* /Volumes/ALAIN/Music/
--- End code ---
where you should have
--- Code: ---rsync -avW --progress --size-only --delete /Volumes/Alpha/Music/* /Volumes/ALAIN/Music/
--- End code ---
To explain: if you've just opened Terminal, it'll be "in" your home folder (/Users/EGGO), so when you wrote just "Volumes/Alpha...", Terminal figured you meant a folder called Volumes within the directory you're in. Putting a "/" makes the path "absolute" (that is, not relative to your current directory), and tells Terminal you want the Volumes-folder that's in the Root folder of you hard drive... (but this is getting rather off-topic, see http://osxdaily.com/2007/03/30/mac-os-x-directory-structure-explained/ for more info...)
Ishtar:
Just wanted to say that I was in the same boat as Geruvah. But my problem is that when I use that Terminal command, it says there's not enough space. The playlists I'm trying to sync only takes up half of the hard-drive though, so I'm assuming it's because it's because it's trying to transfer ALL of my songs (which is more than what my ipod is capable of holding).
