apt install ideviceinstaller python-imobiledevice libimobiledevice-utils libimobiledevice6 libplist3 python-plist ifuse usbmuxd libusbmuxd-tools Lsb_release -a: Debian GNU/Linux 9.5 (stretch) However, this document can help you get libimobiledevice working and talking to your iPhone. Though libimobiledevice enables much more functionality than that, such functionality is not covered in this document. * The author(s) of this document mostly just wanted to copy music between an iPhone and Debian computer.

The library is in development since August 2007 with the goal to bring support for these devices to the Linux Desktop.

It allows other software to easily access the device's filesystem, retrieve information about the device and its internals, backup/restore the device, manage SpringBoard icons, manage installed applications, retrieve addressbook/calendars/notes and bookmarks and (using libgpod) synchronize music and video to the device. Unlike other projects, it does not depend on using any existing proprietary libraries and does not require jailbreaking.

libimobiledevice is a cross-platform software library that talks the protocols to support iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and Apple TV devices.It would be great to debianize and integrate those instructions onto this page, or perhaps split this page into several pages dedicated to Debian and iPhone/iOS. * The Arch Linux Wiki has a great article on iPhone Tethering. For bluetooth tethering, libimobiledevice is not helpful, and thus neither is this document. * Tethering is not covered here however if you want to tether via USB, setting up libimobiledevice may be required, and thus some of these instructions may be useful for you. This page is for connecting an iPhone running Apple's iOS to a Debian computer. Older model iPods that do not run iOS are well-supported by a simple installation of gtkpod - you need not go through all this hassle to connect an older-model iPod and transfer music.
