Connecting an ipad via USB...
Posted: Sep 13th, '14, 19:33Hi 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!
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.

- 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.
