'Should' be a /media/i$Something directory created. All I know about ifuse is what I've read in the man page:- http://manpages.debian.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ifuse&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=Debian+7.0+wheezy&format=html&locale=en Is their an info page for ifuse? What does "man -k ifuse" give? The --debug option may provide more useful information > I can traverse the fs and ls > the files just fine.

Yes - one work-around (a bit like trimming your toes so you can fit into cool shoes too small for your feet) is to use a udev rule to launch a VirtualBox Windoof machine. The VM can be launched in seamless mode and iTunes can be automagically be started. That will require waiting a few minutes for iTunes to become available, but with USB pass-though, it will allow you to access the full functionality of your Apple device from your Debian device. > I'm not sure if libimobiledevice4 (in Jessie and Sid) is > current enough, or if I need to wait for libimobiledevice5, which is in > Experimental). There is nothing in Wheezy-Backports for the library. You 'might' be able to simply install the Testing/Unstable/Experimental version - backports are not always necessary to have the latest version of a Debian package.
