Unable to access iPhone -- Unhandled Lockdown error (-16) ??
Hi Again, Now trying to email pics and I get this error message, also when I try to load the phone's pics into my laptop. Tried googling it, but to newbish to make the returns i clicked on helpful. Many Thanks for any help offered here. Nixtr
Please excuse my forgetting to add what's needed to help. My OS is Linux Mint 17.3 'Rosa' Xfce 32-bit. I was on gmail and clicked on the attachments: browse button to find the picture I wanted to send from my iphone I had USB-attached to my PC. Will do that search. Thanks Again, Nixtr
searched linux iphone and from http://geeknizer.com/sync-iphone-linux/ I tried this on the terminal: sudo add-apt-repository ppamcenery/ppa to this response:
-laptop ~ $ sudo add-apt-repository ppamcenery/ppa
[sudo] password for nick:
'This PPA does not support trusty'
Cannot add PPA: ''This PPA does not support trusty''.
Then thought I'd go for the updates with sudo apt-get update as a command. Will see if any effect takes, maybe. Nixtr
then I ran the command: idevicepair unpair && idevicepair pair and got: "ERROR: Device ba497bd6990c4a8b84cbbd91e34af811d86c53ce is not paired with this host" as a response from the terminal
now tried to install libimobiledevice and my terminal responded with: laptop ~ $ sudo apt-get install libimobiledevice
[sudo] password for nick:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libimobiledevice
So is tht saying I dont already have it or the program cant find it online to install it? Thanks
Hi & Thanks for replying. I clicked on the libimob.... link you provided, but cannot recognize the list of packages. did you refer me to this:
Sources and Dependencies:
libimobiledevice-1.2.0.tar.bz2
ifuse-1.1.3.tar.bz2
libplist-1.12.tar.bz2
libusbmuxd-1.0.10.tar.bz2
usbmuxd-1.1.0.tar.bz2 (needs libusb >= 1.0.3)
ideviceinstaller-1.1.0.tar.bz2
libideviceactivation-1.0.0.tar.bz2
or this one that's labelled packages, but hard to discern which if any would apply, for newbie me, anyway: Packages:
openSUSE openSUSE or 1-Click Install (openSUSE 13.2)
Fedora Fedora (Packages in the official repositories)
Debian Debian
Ubuntu Ubuntu (Packages in the official repositories)
I woulda clicked on the 1st one but didn't say for linux mint nor call it the libimobiledevice. Sorry but dealing with newbies is like dealing with newbies. Thanks for trying, Nixtr
Distribution: Slackware (current), Slack15, win10 that is just there beacuse I have a copy of it

Rep:
yeah one does have to decipher through it to figure out everything iDevice related. Everything I need gets installed except libusbmuxd and usbmuxd - I just install them and my file manager thunar and pcmamfm picks up my iPhone np I just have to do that 'trust' thing.

Yeah. Threads like these remind me why I sold my Iphone and bought a Samsung.
yep - every time they update the ios Linux doesn't connect with it again. I just keep my iphone for music and games mostly. its like an ipod with a phone I do not use. very seldom do I ever use my file manager to get into it. I use my android instead.
