iPhone Mounting

The beauty of love is not in your beauty but in your ability to make it manifest.

Mostly because I have had to look up how to mount an iPhone on Linux Mint 18.0 a few times and had to look it up,I made a helper script. – iPhone-mount.sh

#!/bin/bash
 # Allow non-root users to mount with ifuse!
 #sudo nano /etc/fuse.conf
 # Allow non-root users to specify the allow_other or allow_root mount op$
 # UNCOMMENT user_allow_other

# Pair the iPhone
 idevicepair pair
 sleep 5
 # Mount it
 ifuse /home/erick/iPhone

Allow users to mount via ifuse

In /etc/fuse.conf uncomment user_allow_other to let users mount devices. This makes it easy to mount the device in your home directory for instance with full access to it.

Mint and Mounting

The iPhone mounts fine on Mint 18.0. My desktop has a newer version and I had to do work to it before mounting the iPhone worked. Apparently something got lost between versions.
