How to find the mount point of IPhone

[satimis]

Hi folks,

IPhone 3GS
KVM
Debian 5.0 - host
Ubuntu 9.04 - VMs


After connecting the USB cord to the Virtual Machine IPhone can be detected. Photos and Video on the IPhone can be download to the PC, the host.

But I can't find the mount point of the IPhone either on /mnt or /media. "fdisk -l" can find it as well.


I'm now following following thread to sync IPhone to PC;
How to connect iPhone/iPod Touch (Using USB) in Karmic/Jaunty/Intrepid/Hardy
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-con...epidhardy.html

Unfortunately I don't have a spare PC for this testing. Therefore I install iFuse on a VM of the Virtual Machine. The installation is completed, no problem encountered. However after connection via the USB cord IPhone can be detected by the host. Photos and Video on the IPhone can be download to the host without problem. But IPhone can't be detected by the VM. Neither can I find the mountpoint of the IPhone on the host. I'm still struggling to sort out this problem. Where is the mountpoint. If without result I have to find a spare PC for this test.

Please advise. TIA

Hi LewRockwel

I install iFuse on an Ubunutu 8.04 desktop according to following articles;

Ubuntu Linux Tutorials,Howtos,Tips & News | Intrepid,Jaunty,Karmic
How to connect iPhone/iPod Touch (Using USB) in Karmic/Jaunty/Intrepid/Hardy|Ubuntu Geek

Plugin the IPhone 3GS via USB cord.

satimis@vz0:~$ sudo usbmuxd
satimis@vz0:~$ sudo ifuse /media/iphone/

Now it mounts the IPhone 3GS.


satimis@vz0:~$ ls /media/iphone/

All of them are directories/folders

satimis@vz0:~$ ls /media/iphone/iTunes_Control/Music/F00/
satimis@vz0:~$ ls /media/iphone/iTunes_Control/Music/F01/
satimis@vz0:~$ ls /media/iphone/iTunes_Control/Music/F02/
satimis@vz0:~$ ls /media/iphone/iTunes_Control/Music/F03/
satimis@vz0:~$ ls /media/iphone/iTunes_Control/Music/F48/
satimis@vz0:~$ ls /media/iphone/iTunes_Control/Music/F49/
I suppose all of them are empty directories


satimis@vz0:~$ ls /media/iphone/Photos/
satimis@vz0:~$ ls /media/iphone/Podcasts/
satimis@vz0:~$ ls /media/iphone/Purchases/
All of them without output


satimis@vz0:~$ ls /media/iphone/Recordings/

Recordings.db

satimis@vz0:~$ ls /media/iphone/iTunes_Control/Ringtones/
No output


No GUI. I think I can upload music/photo files on the IPhone.

What shall I do next? To copy music files to the IPhone on Console? .mp3 file? Or other file format?

Please advise. TIA
