When you plug in a device it should show up automatically in the Devices tab on the left of the Clementine window. Double clicking on the device will open it and start searching for songs inside. You can copy songs to a device by right clicking them in the library or the playlist and selecting *Copy to device*.

Clementine uses [libgpod](http://www.gtkpod.org/wiki/Libgpod) to read and write the iTunes database on your iPod. This is installed automatically if you download a binary package of Clementine, but if you are compiling from source make sure you have the libgpod and libgpod-dev packages installed before you start.
The classic iPod or iPod shuffle appear as USB mass storage devices are mounted and accessed directly by Clementine, but the iPod touch, iPhone and iPad use a different protocol and Clementine uses [libimobiledevice](http://www.libimobiledevice.org/) to access them. libimobiledevice requires usbmuxd which on **Windows** is installed by iTunes.

On **Linux** you also need GIO and GVFS installed to be able to detect MTP devices.
On **Windows**, MTP support comes from the Windows Media Device Manager (WMDM). The Clementine setup program will check if you have this installed and automatically download it if required. WMDM supports other kinds of devices too, such as phones that run Windows CE.
MTP devices can sometimes be a bit temperamental. If you have problems copying songs to your device try unplugging it and plugging it back in, or restarting it.
