This problem affects me too on 10.10 with a iPod touch 4, this is the
problem:

"The mp3 format is not supported by the device, and no converter was
found to convert it"

There is a thread on the ubuntu forums:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1592840

and also a similar thread on banshee's forums concerning a blackberry:
http://banshee-media-player.2283330.n4.nabble.com/Blackberry-Multimedia-Sync-td2982940.html

The last thread seems to provide some pertinent information, this seems
to make sense, but it's a bit over my head:

"The real problem is likely that the XML snippet that tells Banshee
(via HAL) that your device is a portable media device supporting X, Y,
and Z is not complete - it's not including the information about it
supporting avi, wmv, m4a etc.  The file you need to edit is usually at
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-usb-music-players.fdi

To add those mimetypes should be fairly simple, once you find the
right <match> entry for your device.  You should make a copy of the
file before you modify it, then do a diff afterward to produce a patch
you can send to the HAL list (or give to me and I can submit to them). "
