The setting where this should work consists of a FreeBSD 10.3-p24 (32 bit) and an iPad 32 GB with iOS 11.0.3 15A432. Attaching the iPad shows ipheth0 and ue0 devices. I have installed the imobiledevice and fusefs-ifuse packages via pkg. With the command # idevice pair execute twice (with confirming the trust dialog on the iPad) I got the system to print the iPad's device ID. But any of the other idevice* commands just leads to an error: # ideviceinfo ERROR: Could not connect to lockdownd, error code -3 Mounting attempts fail as well: # ifuse -d -u /mnt Failed to connect to lockdownd service on the device. Try again. If it still fails try rebooting your device. I did as instructed (repeated command, rebooted iPad), but no success. It does not matter if /var/lib/lockdown is mode 777 or what it initially was. It also does not matter if the commands are being executed as root or as a normal user. I have also tried gtkpod, but it doesn't detect anything at all. Manually configuring the iPad doesn't help, it does not connect, and the error message ("unsupported checksum type") doesn't help. I also fully understand that Apple doesn't want me to be able to easily transfer files from (or to) the iPad except with their tools, but I don't care what Apple wants. That's why the "recommended solutions" don't work for me because: 1. I won't buy a Mac. 2. I won't buy a new PC plus a license of "Windows". 3. I won't give out any personal identification information to Apple or MICROS~1 in order to "register". 4. I won't register at a "cloud" storage provider. So please no suggestions to "just" use iTunes. Honestly, what's the problem of not presenting the device as a USB mass storage device? Even Android devices can do this (with specific limitations)! Shouldn't the iPad be easier to use, more advanced, more professionsl? ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
