So what do I need to tell Linux to access the phone as a usb drive: (The camera packages don't work either, but I would be fine with just being able to access the device as a usb drive).

I don't have Iphone actually, but you can try as a root

# modprobe usb_storage

and check if it knows the Iphone with dmesg or lsusb

Yup, I have that loaded (Vmware needs it). Plug it in, and all I see in /var/log/messages is this: Dec 13 22:33:51 gotroot kernel: usb 5-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 47 Dec 13 22:33:52 gotroot kernel: usb 5-3: new device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=1292 Dec 13 22:33:52 gotroot kernel: usb 5-3: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Dec 13 22:33:52 gotroot kernel: usb 5-3: Product: iPhone Dec 13 22:33:52 gotroot kernel: usb 5-3: Manufacturer: Apple Inc.

Digicam can't see any photos on it. Note: it mounts in windows as a read only device.

In Vmware I run a Windows XP virtual machine. That virtusl machine can read photos off the iphone, so there is no hardware issue anywhere along the way. -- ----------JSA--------- Someone stole my tag line, so now I have this rental. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You're right :-)

Maybe it can help (from google): http://tips4linux.com/copy-images-in-linux-from-the-iphones-picture-folder/ http://lifehacker.com/394046/copy-music-from-your-iphone-or-ipod-to-your-com... http://iphoneoverdose.com/2008/how-to-copy-your-iphone-pictures-under-linux/

Most of those have to do with grabbing music off of the iphone, not photos, and all of them require jailbreaking, which I am not allowed to do (its a corporate phone). Accessing the photos directly as a USB device is supported by Apple, and does not require jailbreaking. It just requires Mac or Windows. I was hoping there would be a clean linux way to do the same. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Looks like the phone is detected as a usb device. Could it just be that it's not mounted? If you do 'fdisk -l' as root, does a new device appear? If so, you should be able to mount it manually.

iPhones also appear as PTP device, but so far I have not seen images exposed by this PTP device. Not sure what Apple does there. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
