Connecting an ipad via USB...

Postby quartz » Sep 13th, '14, 19:33

Hi all,

I am trying to connect my daughter's ipad for data transfer, but it is not working. The ipad keeps popping up a box asking if I trust the computer, and however much I tap yes, it keeps reappearing.

Having done some research, I found that this is fixed by using a package called libimobiledevice-1.1.6. OK, its not in the repository but I found it online at rpmfind. But no!
Code: Select all
[root@nasqueron Downloads]# urpmi ./libimobiledevice-1.1.6-0.x86_64.rpm
A requested package cannot be installed:
libimobiledevice-1.1.6-0.x86_64 (due to unsatisfied libusbmuxd[>= 1.0.9])

OK, I found that online too. But that is dependent on libusb being >= 1.0.19. OK, I found that too. Great. But no! libusb 1.0.19 is dependent upon systemd being >= 214.1.

At this point I got cold feet and gave up.

Has anyone managed to achieve data transfer to an ipad/ipod through Mageia 4, and if so how?

thanks in anticipation,

Quartz.

Why not use the libimobiledevice package from Mageia repos instead of downloading it from some arbitrary place?

Hi Doktor5000

Because the libimobiledevice in the repo is 1.1.5, whereas the version that is supposed to fix this issue is 1.1.6.
