So, apparently I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04. It seems that I need to back up my iPod's DCIM folder in it's AFC path. The problem is that I can't figure out how to get to the AFC path in Ubuntu 16.04. In 14.04, it would take me to afc://(device), while in 16.04 it just takes me to gphoto2://[usb:002,010]/. Apparently this isn't what I want as there is only 1 folder and it's either a blank DCIM folder or some folder called store followed by an underscore and binary code.

(Note: The iPod is running iOS 9.)

  • On my Xenial system I find my iPOD mounted in: /media/andrew/ANDREW'S IP which would vary on your system according to 1. Your username 2. Your device name. In this directory are the directories for Photos, Recordings etc. I am not sure if this is along the lines of what you are after? – andrew.46 May 03 '16 at 01:40
  • @andrew.46 What I want is the old functionality 14.04 uses. – user245115 May 04 '16 at 19:23
  • How did you locate the afc path in Trusty? – andrew.46 May 04 '16 at 21:22
  • @andrew.46 You just click on the iPod/iPhone/iPad – user245115 May 04 '16 at 22:13
  • @andrew.46 Basically you open the file manager and click on the iPhone/iPod, but it seems doing this in Xenial takes you somewhere else. – user245115 May 04 '16 at 22:27
  • Odd, because for me the response is the same in Trusty as it is Xenial: a click on the usb icon allows access to the ipod's directory structure and the mounting is the same in /media/$USER/$DEVICE_NAME. I am using an ipod classic, perhaps there is different behaviour with your device. If so I will probably be no help to you :(. – andrew.46 May 05 '16 at 00:08
  • @andrew.46 I'm using an iPod Touch (5th Gen) – user245115 May 05 '16 at 15:11
  • in thunar I just needed to remove the :3 from the end of the address – Rqomey Aug 10 '16 at 14:07

To start is due to update:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

greetings, because the first thing is to read this post

https://wiki.debian.org/es/iPhone

But to summarize use the following:

linux@xinial:$  lsusb -v |grep 3 |grep iSerial

  iSerial                 3 a8f72d4a6d2e3d3786fae2d328a11063b9d6947b
  iSerial                 3 FB56283B13A01C40

where a8f72d4a6d2e3d3786fae2d328a11063b9d6947b is the number of device

Now in the address bar file manager [nautilus, nemo, thunar, etc ..]

afc://a8f72d4a6d2e3d3786fae2d328a11063b9d6947b

By the way, I speak Spanish
