Ubuntu (or any other linux distribution) would be a daft choice when you are an iPhone user. Even there are UNIX similarities between OS X and Linux, it’s a shame they haven’t made any native apps for Ubuntu. (reason: they only develop closed-source software).

In order to transfer iPhone photos to Ubuntu, you need to get Linux communicate with your iPhone (Need iPhone transfer software?). To do that, you need to download libimobiledevice. Libimobiledevice is a cross-platform software protocol library and tools to communicate with iOS® devices natively.

All you have to do is open Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and follow the steps:

Install additional PPA repository

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pmcenery/ppa

sudo apt-get update

Install libimobiledevice

sudo apt-get install libimobiledevice-utils

(or)

sudo apt-get install libimobiledevice1

Now wait for device to mount itself automatically. That’s it! You will find your camera images in the DCIM folder if you want to quickly copy and paste them to a local folder for backup.

Копирование файлов с Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod в Ubuntu 16.04 и Windows 10

В Windows 10 папка с фотографиями iPhone/iPad/iPod видна, но при попытке скопировать файлы с Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod на компьютер появляется ошибка «Ошибка при копировании файла или папки: Параметр задан неверно». Для обхода ограничений можно воспользоваться приложениями вроде iFunBox, iTools, но конечно очень странно, что нельзя просто скопировать папку. Тем более, что китайские приложения, хотя и бесплатные, устанавливать на компьютер не очень хочется. Можно конечно использовать iCloud, но
мне совершенно не хочется, чтобы личные фотографии попадали в облачные хранилища.

Ubuntu 16.04 перестала видеть папки с Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod. Решение этой проблемы, к сожалению, не сводится к установке одного приложения.

Устанавите необходимые приложения:

sudo apt-get install ideviceinstaller python-imobiledevice libimobiledevice-utils libimobiledevice6 libplist3 python-plist ifuse usbmuxd

How do I access iOS camera pictures on Ubuntu?

The libimobiledevice shipped with 17.04 is actually compatible with the latest iOS. When you connect a device, two virtual devices show up. However, the one with the documents works but the one for the camera just shows an empty folder.

There is no obvious way to access the camera pictures on the iOS device.

How do I access them? I don’t want to compile libimobiledevice from source.

Ubuntu 18.04 and later

Tested on Ubuntu 21.10 and iOS 14.7

This version of Ubuntu has the latest libimobiledevice (at the time of release) so it supports iOS 11.4. There is a propblem with the Gnome integration, though. It shows the Documents folder (app folders). In addition to the tip below by @diego, here’s a simple way to get to the pictures folder (this works if the iOS Documents show up for you but not the pictures):

• Open the iDevices Documents folder in Nautilus.
• Press CTRL + L to get the real address which will look like afc://YOURSERIAL:3/
• Remove trailing colon and number and press ENTER (i.e. it should just read afc://YOURSERIAL )

You should now see your iDevices system folders, including DCIM. If you need to access these folders from the command line, you can find them in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfs (this this answer for a more detailed explanation).

Historical workaround

As a workaround, you can mount your iOS device with ifuse.

Now connect your device and make sure it is paired with your computer.

If you get a SUCCESS message, you are good, if not run idevicepair pair . Now you can use ifuse to mount your iOS images folder:

The images are now available in your $HOME folder under pics. Ready to be synced with Shotwell. To unmount the folder, use fusermount:

Note: in this example I create a pics folder and remove it afterwards. If you already have a folder named like this, choose a different name.

How To Access Photos & Videos On Your iPhone On Linux

Nov 17, 2017
Comment

Unlike Android, iPhone users have a harder time accessing their devices on Linux. While it is true that in 2017, distributions like Ubuntu have improved support for Apple smartphones, it is by no means perfect. Often times just plugging in an iPhone isn’t enough, and it requires some extra steps to work right. That’s why in this article, we’re going to explain how to access the iPhone on Linux.

SPOILER ALERT: Scroll down and watch the video tutorial at the end of this article.

iFuse

By far the best way to access internal iPhone storage on the Linux platform is with iFuse. The tool makes it very easy to access files on any iOS device, using a fuse file system. This solution isn’t perfect by any means, but since there is no native way to read an iOS device on Linux, this is the best of a bad situation.

Installation

Installing iFuse is easy on most Linux operating systems. It uses the software library libmobiledevice to make everything possible, and as a result users do not need to “jailbreak” their devices. Here’s how to get it installed on your Linux distribution.

Ubuntu

Debian

Arch Linux

Fedora

OpenSUSE

The easiest way to install the iFuse tool to Open SUSE is through the OBS system. Follow this link and click on the one-click install button. iFuse is distributed for all current versions of Open SUSE Linux.

Build For Other Linuxes

Getting iFuse on non-mainstream Linux operating systems shouldn’t be difficult, as the tool is one of the only ways users can access iOS device file systems on the platform. To install it, check your package manager, search for “ifuse”, and install it. If for some reason this software isn’t included on the OS’s software repositories, follow the instructions below to build the software and install it by hand.

To start the build, ensure you have the following packages installed. Keep in mind, the package names may differ depending on the operating system. Your best bet is to search with these names: git, usbmuxd, make, autoheader, automake, autoconf, libtool, pkg-config and gcc.

When all the software that is required for iFuse to build is installed, use the git tool to download the source code.

Then, use the CD command to enter the source code directory, so that the compiling process can begin.

The first step in the compiling process for iFuse is to run the autogen tool.

After autogen, run the configure tool. Configure will scan your PC and get everything ready for compiling. It’ll look for things like operating system version, kernel version and etc.

As configure finishes it’s job, the first phase of the compiling process can start.

Lastly, finish the compile process by re-running make, with make install. This will take the source code and install the compiled version of it to the system.

Using iFuse

iFuse isn’t a program. It’s a file system that runs silently in the background. When the tool is installed on Linux, iOS devices will have an easy time interacting with Linux-based operating systems. To access files, follow these steps.

Step 1: Open up the file manager.

Step 2: Plug in your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch device to your Linux PC.

With the device plugged in, unlock it and click the “trust” prompt that appears on screen. It is critical that you trust the PC that your device is connected to the PC, or iFuse will fail to access the device, and you’ll need to unplug it, and do it again.

Step 3: If iFuse connects successfully, your iOS device will appear in the file manager as a mounted device. Click on it to browse the files on it. Be ware that it may lock up at times. This is unavoidable as Apple products do not have official Linux support. Use at your own risk.

Shotwell

iFuse is a good way of easily accessing the data on an Apple device on Linux. That said, it isn’t a straight-forward process. If you want access to the photos and videos on your iOS device on Linux, but don’t want to deal with the file manager, consider installing the Shotwell photo manager. It can use iFuse and with it, automatically import the pictures and videos automatically.

Ubuntu

Debian

Arch Linux

Fedora

Open SUSE

Other Linuxes

Shotwell is a popular photo management solution on Linux. As a result, it is available on pretty much all Linux operating systems. Install it by searching your package manager for “shotwell”. Alternatively, look in Gnome Software (or any software browser tool) and install it that way. Can’t find it? Download it from the website instead!

Using Shotwell

Like iFuse, Shotwell doesn’t really require any configuration once it is installed. As you plug in your iOS device (if iFuse is installed) a pop up will appear. The popup will ask if you want to automatically import pictures to your library. Click the button to allow it. Soon after, Shotwell will import all photos to your PC.

Question: Q: How to copy files to my iPad from Linux via USB

Hello. I’m using Ubuntu Trusty (14.04). iTunes is not available for this platform (AFAICS).

A friend recently gifted me an iPad Air. I have several ebooks from archive.org and music files which I purchased locally here in India (as CDs) which I’d like to transfer to my iPad via USB to read/hear etc. I’d like to know what is the official method of transferring files to the iPad via USB so I can use them there.

This AskUbuntu question suggests a method but it does not work on iOS 7 on my iPad Air. I am able to transfer the files to the iPad sure enough (and the storage space available decreases as I can verify from the iPad Control Center) but those files do not show up on Adobe Reader’s list or the built-in music player’s list.

Please help. Thanks.

You should be able to download the books from archive.org directly to your iPad if they are PDFs. Once you open them in Safari, you can then open them in the PDF reader of your choice on your iPad. You could also email them to yourself.

The only way to transfer music to the iPad’s native player is by using iTunes. However, if you have a DropBox account, you can store the music in your DropBox account and stream it to your iPad. You can also use something like the Sandisk Wireless Flash Drive to store your music and play it on the iPad from their.

You probably figured some way to do what you wanted by now, but for anyone looking for the same thing, if you don’t have any issues with running a Python script (this one in particular is harmless), follow directions from this answer. Worked flawlessly for me after correcting a few indents which in Python are critical, but here’s the script exactly as I ran it:

Save this in the same directory where you have the pdf files you want to import as it will generate the required index for iBooks to read those files. Since Python already comes pre-installed in most Unix/Linux distributions, one would then probably need only to run the script using the python command (e.g. python my-script.py provided that your script is saved to my-script.py), then copy the files along with the generated Managed.plist to /Books/Managed in the iPad and be able to read the files in iBooks right away. I hope this helps someone.

I’m using Ubuntu Trusty (14.04). iTunes is not available for this platform (AFAICS).

I’ve read of some people having success running the windows version of iTunes under wine on linux.

Use dropbox.com for transferring files.

I had success copying files between Fedora 21 and my iPhone 4 running 7.1.2

is fine.

Where are you trying to install this app? You might be better posting the the appropriate linux forum or to stackoverflow.
