I retried this today (for no particular reason) and found that I can now copy files from my iPhone with Nautilus. I'm not sure why it works, nor did I notice anything relevant in the packages that I upgraded recently.
:-) that it works now but :-( for not knowing why or what happened. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1245963 Title: gvfsd-afc crashes when attempting to copy a file from an iPhone using Nautilus Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy) and am now unable to copy files from my iPhone (with iOS 6) using Nautilus. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a Nautilus window. 2. Attach an iPhone. Two new entries appear under Devices in the left side panel: "<iPhone name>" and "Documents on <iPhone name>" 3. Middle-click on the <iPhone name> entry (or right-click and select "Open in New Tab") to mount the iPhone file system and open a new tab. 4. Copy a file from the iPhone tab, and paste into the original tab. At this point Nautilus shows an alert box: Error while copying "<filename>". There was an error copying the into <directory>. Show more details (when expanded:) Operation not supported by backend I don't remember if Apport prompts me to report this crash immediately or after a certain amount of time, but I have a crash report in /var/crash for gvfsd-afc. I'd be happy to attach it here if necessary, though I've already reported this crash a few times; I'm sure the developers can also find it on errors.ubuntu.com under the title "gvfsd-afc crashed with SIGABRT in g_assertion_message()". In Nautilus, I can still copy files to the iPhone and delete files from the iPhone; only copying files from the iPhone is not working. I can also view pictures from my iPhone directly, and copy files from it using Terminal (by going to the mount point in /run/user directly), so it appears only Nautilus is affected. Thanks!
