For whatever reason, iPhone 5 devices (and maybe more) are not automatically mounted like they were for me in Fedora 16.
After much research, I did the following to mount an iPhone 5 manually. # yum install libimobiledevice # idevicepair unpair&& idevicepair pair dmesg then had something like this in it usb 3-2.4: new high-speed USB device number 85 using xhci_hcd [ 559.894437] usb 3-2.4: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=12a0 [ 559.894456] usb 3-2.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 559.894458] usb 3-2.4: Product: iPhone [ 559.894460] usb 3-2.4: Manufacturer: Apple Inc. [ 559.894461] usb 3-2.4: SerialNumber: a10733b8ceb1656487ee7cdf532caad722243961 [ 559.895236] usb 3-2.4: ep 0x2 - rounding interval to 8 microframes, ep desc says 10 microframes [ 559.895243] usb 3-2.4: ep 0x81 - rounding interval to 8 microframes, ep desc says 10 microframes [ 559.904425] usb 3-2.4: ep 0x2 - rounding interval to 8 microframes, ep desc says 10 microframes [ 559.904442] usb 3-2.4: ep 0x81 - rounding interval to 8 microframes, ep desc says 10 microframes [ 559.904447] usb 3-2.4: ep 0x4 - rounding interval to 32768 microframes, ep desc says 0 microframes [ 559.904449] usb 3-2.4: ep 0x85 - rounding interval to 32768 microframes, ep desc says 0 microframes [ 560.737351] ipheth 3-2.4:4.2: Apple iPhone USB Ethernet device attached [ 560.737398] usbcore: registered new interface driver ipheth [ 560.753345] usb 3-2.4: ep 0x86 - rounding interval to 32768 microframes, ep desc says 0 microframes [ 560.753353] usb 3-2.4: ep 0x5 - rounding interval to 32768 microframes, ep desc says 0 microframes I then mounted the device using ifuse as follows. $ mkdir iphone $ ifuse -ua10733b8ceb1656487ee7cdf532caad722243961 ./iphone $ cd iphone $ ls AirFair Books Downloads iTunes_Control PhotoStreamsData Safari Airlock com.apple.itunes.lock_sync HighlandPark PhotoData Purchases ApplicationArchives DCIM iPod_Control Photos Recordings I could then access the iPhone mountpoint in Dolphin or from the command line session as I desired. I hope this helps someone. I hope this procedure becomes unnecessary in Fedora 18 and iPhone 5s are mounted automatically.
