Steps to configure iPod shuffle in Fedora 19

Steps to configure iPod shuffle in Fedora 19

I am using Fedora 19 GNOME version.
After I plugin my iPod to the USB, it is not listed in my filesystem.
The output of the lsusb command is:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 090c:237c Silicon Motion, Inc. - Taiwan (formerly
Feiya Technology Corp.)

the output of fdisk -l is:

So, sdb is my iPod.
The output of mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdb /media/ipod/ is:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb, missing
codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.
Then I tried checking the logfile dmesg | tail -30. The output was:

I also have gtpod and banshee installed. How do I get the iPod configured
and running?
