iPod Notifications

  • I'm trying to detect when an iPod Touch is connected or disconnected.
    I can see all kinds of stuff in the console when I connect it. Can
    anyone recommend an notification to listen for when it's connected or
    disconnected ? I need to keep a list updated with all the connected
    iPods. If a new one shows up or disappears I need to know. I figure
    there is probably a good pair of notifications to register for.

    Last time I asked about the touch I got some answers that might have
    been covered by NDA. While I too am under the NDA, I don't think this
    one is anything special. Actually I didn't think the last one was
    either but... please don't break the NDA.

    I asked before about getting the iPod's name. I found that I could do
    the trick of looking at the mounted volumes to find non-touch iPods.
    Then a little applescript to iTunes gets me the complete list of
    connected iPods. With a little comparison and I can figure it all out.
    Who knew it would be so simple ?

    Thanks,
    Matt

    As with the previous question, there is no public API to do this.
