Hello everyone,
After several failed attempts I finally got libimobiledevice installed and working, it shows the DCIM directory. I was hoping that I would be able to copy files, music, audiobooks as well as photos to and from my iphone. Can anyone confirm that I should be able to do this? If so any suggestions how to, I cannot seem to find any good details on how use libimobiledevice.
TIA,
Kelvin
libimobiledevice?
Re: libimobiledevice?
Since it's in the default repos, "failed attempts" raises some questions. How did you install it, and is it the stock version, and what Iphone do you have?
MXPI = MX Package Installer
QSI = Quick System Info from menu
The MX Test repository is mostly backports; not the same as Debian testing

Hello,
I first attempted to just connect iphone via usb, had no luck. a friend mentioned libimobiledevice to me, I then attempted to install from their website instructions, thus my early failed attempts.
Just prior to my original post I came across iDevice on MXLinux site. I found it in the repos. I had no luck then either, maybe due to my previous attempts. I then did a clean install of MX-23.1 “Libretto, installed iDevice from repro, while I could not get iDeviceMounter to mount my phone I did have access to phones DCIM folder.
I since booted with systemd and have had more success. I have a "Documents on Kelvin’s iPhone" folder, it list many folders but I cannot open them. When I launch iDeviceMounter and mount I get a new Thunar window with different folders.
I still don't see the audiobooks on my phone, this is one of my primary items that I want to be able to move between my phone and laptop.
any suggestions appreciated.
