Hi, #3 is *still* an issue, as I can't access my iPod, which is
recognized by the USB subsystem, but file managers in general only seem
to access it via gphoto2:// protocol instead of afc:// (which seems to
be recognized as a network protocol).
Syncing files via Rhythmbox or Banshee isn't possible anymore due to this bug.
Entering afc://{devide_uuid} on any file manager allows for accessing the
iPod's filesystem and copying the music folder manually, but this is only
useful as a music backup procedure.
Transferring music *to* the iPod in a way that the device will recognize
is impossible, and has been so at least for the past 3 years.

Title:
Ubuntu 16.04 unable to detect/connect to and work properly with
iPhone 4.
Status in libimobiledevice package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Action 1: Plug an iPhone 4 to a just booted up Ubuntu 16.04 workstation.
Result 1: 2 iPhone connections appear in Nautilus. 1st connect is mount via
gphoto2, where access is limited to viewing and copying photos and videos. The
2nd connection that is mounted via afc fail to work, hence other folders in
iPhone are not accessible.
Action 2: Unplugged and re-plugged iPhone 4 to the workstation.
Result 2: iPhone 4 does not reappear in Nautilus at all. No iPhone mount
point appear.
Checks and Remedy used:
1. "ideviceinfo" and lsusb command show iPhone 4 is connected.
2. "idevicepair validate" command shows "SUCCESS: Validated pairing with
device [UDID]"
3. After running "ifuse /media/iPhone" command, iPhone 4 reappears in
Nautilus as mounted in /media/iPhone. Furthermore, all folders of iPhone 4
appears and are accessible.
I believe the 1st mounting of iPhone 4 on Nautilus is due to the
"gvfs-backends" package. W/o it, auto detection/connection of iPhone 4
would not occur and appear in Nautilus. However, the afc mount failed
to work
The 2nd mounting is caused by ifuse. This works perfectly but requires
manual mounting and unmounting.
Questions:
1. How to overcome issues/failures mentioned in Result 1 & 2?
2. Ideally, i would like the automatic detection-connection between Ubuntu
and iPhone to work. If not, is there a way to automate connection via ifuse?
