Unable to mount 1.0 GB volume: Device /dev/sdb is already mounted at `/media/usb0'

This error message pops up whenever I plug in my USB stick. A similar message appears when I plug in my ereader although my MP3 player opens up normally. I am unable to modify any of the contents on the devices although I can open them and see what is on there.

I'm still new to Ubuntu so would appreciate any help.

You need to see the root cause of the problem.
You have probably installed the app usbmount, which will have broken the USB automounting functionality built into the system. If you have, uninstall usbmount and you will probably find that your problem goes away. The app usbmount is designed for GUI-less systems - mostly servers. Don't try to use it with desktop installations. You will run into exactly these problems.

sudo apt-get remove usbmount
