To view and transfer photos from an iPhone to a Linux Mint PC, you may follow these steps:
- Connect your iPhone to your Linux Mint PC using a USB cable.
- On your iPhone, you will be prompted to "Trust This Computer". Tap "Trust" and enter your iPhone passcode if prompted.
- On your Linux Mint PC, open the file manager by clicking on the "Files" icon on the taskbar.
- In the file manager, you should see your iPhone listed under "Devices". Click on your iPhone to open it.
- You will see a folder called "DCIM" (Digital Camera Images). This folder contains all the photos and videos on your iPhone.
- Select the photos you want to transfer by holding down the "Ctrl" key and clicking on each photo.
- Drag and drop the selected photos from the "DCIM" folder to the folder on your Linux Mint PC where you want to save the photos.
- Wait for the transfer to complete. Once it's done, you can unplug your iPhone from your Linux Mint PC.
Note: If you're having trouble accessing your iPhone on Linux Mint, you may need to install the "libimobiledevice" package on the PC using the terminal. To do this, open the terminal and type "sudo apt-get install libimobiledevice". Then try connecting your iPhone again.
