Code:
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ lsusb | grep Apple Bus 002 Device 005: ID 05ac:1294 Apple, Inc. iPhone 3GS
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo mkdir /media/iPhone
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo ifuse /media/iPhone/ -s Failed to connect to lockdownd service on the device. Try again.
If it still fails try rebooting your device. knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ I think I'm missing a fundamental step or is this an iOS constraint? Can someone here help me to connect this device? All I need to do is manipulate audio and photos

So 4 days later I'm still struggling with this. I'm a Linux noob so I can understand if this is such a basic question that nobody can be bothered to answer. Or is it really so difficult that nobody can assist me?

I've posted this same query to http://libiphone.lighthouseapp.com/p...connect-iphone, and no luck, seems Apple keeps changing things with new releases of iOS.
