[SOLVED] need help mounting iphone

Postby leon244 » May 20th, '14, 17:06

I am running Mageia3 with kernel 3.10.40. on an x86_64 system. When I plug my iPhone5 into a USB port it shows a "camera" but I cannot mount it to get to the saved pictures.
Dmesg shows it is found and set up as a network connection:
Code: Select all
[ 7410.905072] ipheth 10-4:4.2: Apple iPhone USB Ethernet now disconnected
[ 7431.695583] usb 10-4: new high-speed USB device number 7 using ehci-pci
[ 7431.813174] usb 10-4: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=12a8
[ 7431.813179] usb 10-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[ 7431.813182] usb 10-4: Product: iPhone

[ 7431.894566] ipheth 10-4:4.2: Apple iPhone USB Ethernet device attached

I have fuse and I have the following installed:
gvfs-fuse-1.14.2-4.mga3
fuse-exfat-0.9.8-2.mga3
lib64fuse2-2.9.2-2.mga3
sshfs-fuse-2.3-2.mga3
fuse-2.9.2-2.mga3
ifuse-1.1.2-0.2.mga3
lib64fuse-devel-2.9.2-2.mga3
lib64gvfscommon0-1.14.2-4.mga3
gvfs-iphone-1.14.2-4.mga3
gvfs-obexftp-1.14.2-4.mga3
libgvfscommon0-1.14.2-4.mga3
gvfs-1.14.2-4.mga3
libimobiledevice-1.1.4-4.1.mga3
lib64imobiledevice3-1.1.4-4.1.mga3

Any help in figuring out how to mount the phone when attached would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Well that was quick
Found this reference http://everydaylht.com/howtos/desktop/iphoneipod-touch-on-linux/ in this forum thread https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1632
and these instructions there:
Code: Select all
Probably the first thing you need to do is to see if libimobiledevice sees your iPhone/iPod Touch. To do so, type ideviceinfo in a terminal, while your device is attached via USB, and you should get a very long list of output. Assuming all that worked, you’ll need to mount your iPhone. I tried to mount the device at /media/ipod, which is where you would expect to find it. However, I have run into a few issues with this. I can only mount to /media/ipod as root, which means applications like rhythmbox and gtkpod can’t read or write to the device, unless they are run as root – not a great idea. So to get around this, I’ve been mounting the device at ~/ipod. To do this, type:

matt2@linux-f215 ==>mkdir ~/ipod
matt2@linux-f215 ==>ifuse ~/ipod
matt2@linux-f215 ==>ls -l ~/ipod


Running the ifuse command mounts my iphone. :)
