How to facilitate iPhone file transfers in Fedora 17.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For whatever reason, iPhone 5 devices (and maybe more)
are not automatically mounted like they were for me in
Fedora 16.

After much research, I did the following to mount an iPhone 5 manually.

# yum install libimobiledevice
# idevicepair unpair&&  idevicepair pair

dmesg then had something like this in it

usb 3-2.4: new high-speed USB device number 85 using xhci_hcd
[  559.894437] usb 3-2.4: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=12a0

[  560.753353] usb 3-2.4: ep 0x5 - rounding interval to 32768 microframes, ep desc says 0 microframes


I then mounted the device using ifuse as follows.

$ mkdir iphone
$ ifuse -ua10733b8ceb1656487ee7cdf532caad722243961 ./iphone
$ cd iphone
$ ls
AirFair              Books                       Downloads     iTunes_Control  PhotoStreamsData  Safari
Airlock              com.apple.itunes.lock_sync  HighlandPark  PhotoData       Purchases
ApplicationArchives  DCIM                        iPod_Control  Photos          Recordings

I could then access the iPhone mountpoint in Dolphin or from the command line session as I desired.

I hope this helps someone.

I hope this procedure becomes unnecessary in Fedora 18 and iPhone 5s are mounted automatically.
