Hi

I have had no issues with ifuse and libimobiledevice6 - but that is purely for accessing photos.

If you are using Scorpion you need to enable backports and then install those 2 from backports - not sure about Centaurus

I also install gphotofs and libimobiledevice-utils

I just plug in phone, wait for it to warn and allow connection - iPhone SE

It can take some time to actually appear in Konq

Re: [SOLVED] iFuse / iphone6

Open Synaptic - assuming you are using it.
Go to Settings>Repositories and look down the list for one that says stretch-backports in the distribution column. Check the box and OK - let it reload and then close synaptic.
Open Konsole and do

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -t stretch-backports install ifuse libimobiledevice6 libimobiledevice-utils gphotofs

Reverse the above to disable backports.
Reboot and plug in iphone - you should get connection warning on screen and be asked for your unlock code.
I am on iOS 12 not sure how other versions will behave.

Re: [SOLVED] iFuse / iphone6

Brilliant - Thanks!

Worked great apart from I can only access DCIM for photos using SU Filemanager - which I am guessing is a groups or permissions thing?

Re: [SOLVED] iFuse / iphone6

That's good.

WRT accessing the DCIM folder - are you looking at a micro-SD card of 64Gb or more? If so it's going to be EX-FAT so you need to check that exfat-fuse and exfat-utils are installed. Use backports as above.

No, just the phone memory [16GB version with about 2GB photos]

I can see the folder I created mounted under /media/iphone using the super user filemanager but just not as a user.

I should likely make the folder under the /home/user/ instead?

Re: [SOLVED] iFuse / iphone6

You should not have needed to create a folder under /media
/media is owned by root so it should mount there automatically under your user name if everything else is working.

However, with the built in storage I am convinced Apple do everything they can to prevent outside access.
I wound up having to upload photos to my google drive in order to get at them!
Hence the use of the micro-SD card which I can access - I suggest you do the same, but if you can get at them using root filemanager then that's further than I have ever got
