iPad

Hi,

The info on the Web is scarce and confusing. Are there real options (the right way, the wrong way, the Arch way)? 'As is' it's seen as a 'Camera', unmountable (KDE).

Re: iPad

Hi im the not so proud owner of an iphone and i can tell you that i can connect it to my arch computer, not without hassle, usulaly i have to unplug it / replug it before it gets mounted well, in this case nautilus does the job for me. unfortunately i have not found the way to put music into it so i only use it as a telephone (kind of useles, isn't it?)

And of course i think there is a way, but i think is more the wrong way. As far as i know the best thing to communicate with this kind of devices is to jailbreak them, its not the safest method but is the one that has more probabilities to work. If you jaiilbreak then you can install something like ifile or software to put your ipad in usb mode. Also there's software to communicate from bluetooth as i think that ipad can only communicatwe by default to other apple devices. Also you can install openssh into it and connect via arch. I think this solution is the more archer. You can find tutorials about jailbreaking in the web.

I hope this helps, there should be other methods however, instead of these ugly workaarounds.
For me : lesson learnt, never buy apple again.

I used ifuse when I had an iPad - worked fine.

However, your post is too vague - you need to detail what you want to do, what you have tried so far, and what the results were.

Re: iPad

Upload of files of any kind is the task. Correct mounting is [presumably] the requisite.

Re: iPad

$ ifuse /mnt/ --root
Failed to start AFC service 'com.apple.afc2' on the device.
This service enables access to the root filesystem of your device.
Your device needs to be jailbroken and have the AFC2 service installed.

What are possible next steps?

The ArchWiki expects no problem:

# ifuse <mountpoint>
The mountpoint field is where you want to have it mounted.
And you're done!

Like that!

On a mountpoint in /home:

$ ifuse /home/user/iPad/
alexey@aardbox ~ $ ls /home/user/iPad
ls: cannot access /home/user/iPad: Transport endpoint is not connected

Re: iPad

I did more research on this forum. Usually it just works, unlike me...
I've not got any iPad device node, have I? Should it exist no matter what?

Re: iPad

Hi Llama, reading this post has make me start to experiment with my iphone again, to put some music into it an i have found useful information in the Gentoo wiki (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Apple_iPod,_iPad,_iPhone) and the Debian wiki regarding iphone (http://wiki.debian.org/iPhone) . The Debian wiki is complete. Also you can try the external sources in the gentoo wiki. There's also a channel in freenode regarding iphone #gtkpod.

Hope this helps

Re: iPad

Llama, no, there is no device node for the iPad - it's not a normal usb storage device.

Yet it has to be created, has it not? I'll have to mount it.

Thanks, hydrosIII! Debian article looks very promising. Unfortunately, I can't add myself to the fuse group, because it doesn't exist:

$ usermod -aG fuse me
usermod: group 'fuse' does not exist

Which looks funny, as fuse itself seems to be present on the system.

Re: iPad

Debian has decided fuse needs its own group - Arch has not, as it works just fine without it. I guess you'll need to adapt the Debian article accordingly.

And no, the device node does not have to be created - you are using fuse precisely because a device node does not, and cannot, exist in this case. You can learn more about fuse if you like, by reading the man page etc.

Thanks! I'll keep than in mind.

Actually, I don't fancy learning everything about a subject which somehow managed to stay under the hood, where it belongs, for years. Kind of heresy, I know, but I should much prefer a bit of easy copy/pasting.

I don't suspect it was meant as such - so perhaps pointing it out may make you reconsider your approach - but this is a very offensive statement.  Tomk pointed to you the information you need, but you refuse to read/think/learn, and you expect tomk, or someone else, to do everything for you ... this is how that reads to me.

Re: iPad

I actually read that somewhat more charitably as saying that the OP wanted to just copy/paste from the Debian article rather than asking for somebody to provide the commands especially here. While that might not be the best approach from either a moral or prudential perspective, it is not necessarily offensive so long as the OP does not return expecting somebody else to sort out problems encountered as a result of blindly copying and pasting commands intended for use on another system.

Re: iPad

That's part of why I don't think it was intentional.  But intentional or not, it may affect other would be helpers.  If lama wants only to copy and paste, then there is no point starting a forum thread.  If the thread was started before the debian source for copy/paste material was found, then this should be marked as solved.  If continued help is sought, then the OP should be open to receiving that help.

Re: iPad

I don't disagree. I just thought it might not reflect quite such offensive expectations.
