[SOLVED] iphone - how to mount?

[gaia14]

Hi,
I am new here and I recently installed mageia on my computer (I had ubuntu before). I am having trouble finding how to access my iphone4 in mageia; I have
gvfs-iphone-1.6.7-2.mga1, lib64imobiledevice1-1.0.6-1.mga1, lib64usbmuxd1-1.0.7-1.mga1...
I plug it in the usb, and can see it listed when I type in usb-devices, but it doesn't seem to be mounted...
Does anyone know how to do?
Thanks!

Maybe try the Mandriva package here

Ah, yes, installing it and then following instructions here, I could access it:

Thanks!

Hi all, I'm new to Mageia but have previously been using Mandriva for many years.

I'm trying to installed relevant iphone s/w packages in order to connect up my wife's iphone.

I've aleady installed all the key software packages bar the ifuse package.

When trying to install the ifuse (x86_64) rpm from Mandriva, it is returning the following error:

Some reguested packages cannot be installed:
ifuse-1.1.1-1.x86_64 (due to unsatisfied libimobiledevice.so.1()(64bit))

Any idea how to resolve this problem please?

thx

7/7/12 -update. Ok, i've managed to solve the above dependence issue by installing relevant RPMs..

thx

I just installed Mageia and I am also not able to access through my iPhone 4S, which is paired with my Residential Voip. I have looked into the Mandriva package, but I am still not able to access. Is there anything else you suggest I can do? I need some help here. Thanks!

Hi KeithW, It's been some time since I worked on this and my recollection is a bit sketchy so apologies if the following is a bit of a jumble of ideas.

I've not been fully successful in achieving full access to the iphone, but i'll happily pass on what I know.

At present I've got an Iphone connected to Mageia 2 and I can access (by selecting Camera when you plug the iphone into your usb port) the contents (e.g. photos etc) in the Camera / USB PTP Class Camera folder and below. However, I've not been able to access the Apple iphone 3GS (PTP mode) folder.

I don't have any instructions to hand for my Mageia install, but the following is a copy and paste of some instructions I noted down when I last tried to do this in Mandriva and as far as i can recall they only partially worked. (I probably would have installed the Mageia equivalents for current system).

installed libimobiledevice-1.0.6-1.mdv2011. (x86_64) (for iphone & ipod connectivity)
installed ifuse-1.1.1-1mdv2011 (x86_64)
installed gtkpod-2.0.2-?mdv2011.0. (x86_64) (for sync music with iphone/ipod)
useful cmds (ideviceinfo)

I used the following articles to help me so you may also find them useful:

I hope this helps, good luck.
