File transfer between Debian Wheezy Xfce and iPad, iPod, iPhone



debian-user:

I would like to transfer files between Debian Wheezy Xfce computers (i386 and amd64) and iOS devices (iPod, iPad, iPhone).


On Debian, I have installed:

    libimobiledevice-utils


When I connect the charging cable between an iPad Mini (Model A1489) and a USB 2.0 port on a Debian machine, dmesg indicates (SerialNumber redacted):

    $ dmesg | tail -n 6
[ 152.171793] usb 4-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 15 using ehci_hcd [ 152.266301] usb 4-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=12ab [ 152.266306] usb 4-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
    [  152.266309] usb 4-1.2: Product: iPad
    [  152.266311] usb 4-1.2: Manufacturer: Apple Inc.
[ 152.266313] usb 4-1.2: SerialNumber: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


On the iPad, a pop-up dialog appears:

            Trust This Computer?
       Your settings and data will be
    accessible from this computer when
                connected.
        Trust          Don't Trust


When I touch "Trust", there is activity in the icons in the upper-right corner of the iPad display, and then the pop-up dialog appears again; ad infinitum.


Any suggestions?


TIA,

David
