I plugged in my iPhone 5 with iOS 10 and saw iPhone in the file explorer. I clicked on the iPhone 'drive' but it was blank. There was a button for ShotWell and I clicked on that. Another 'folder' for iPhone was there too, but when I clicked on it, it said 'Importing, please wait...' and didn't do anything.

iphone drive in ubuntu file manager

Ubuntu 16.04, iPhone 5, iOS 10.1.1

  • @GAD3R This part didn't work: $ sudo ifuse /media/chloe/iPhone --root GnuTLS error: Error in the pull function. Failed to connect to lockdownd service on the device. Try again. If it still fails try rebooting your device. It didn't work after I rebooted the phone either.

    OK I didn't install or build anything because I already had the latest version from apt, but after I edited fuse.conf according to that answer, and used the file explorer, then it worked. It still doesn't work in the command line though.

I was not able to download the files from my iPhone. I was able to get the pictures from my Free Google Drive account. Drive is one of the options one can download iPhone pictures into. Go to your Google account on the Lubuntu computer, and download them from there.
