OS X File Type Constraints in iOS 6?
## 2.33GHz MBPC2D running OS X 10.6.8, iPhone 4S running iOS 6.1.2 ##
Greetings, folks!
As there is no iOS System Technologies Discussion Community (AFAICT), this seems the best place to start . . .
I am baffled as to why some application file types can be copied (i.e. backed up) just fine to my iPhone 4S, and yet other file types (.textClipping, .scpt, .webloc, aliases, etc.) result in errors (mostly Error Code: -39) and corrupted files. The files are going into folders created using apps like PhoneDisk, iExplorer, FileApp, DiskAid, etc., and are copied with said apps, as well as with ChronoSync syncs. FUSE for OS X doesn’t help either.
Given claims that the iOS file system is HFSX—supposedly the Apple file system used for all their mobile devices that is nearly identical to HFS+ except for being case-sensitive—why are the files not copying properly from my Mac to my iPhone? This condition exists regardless of whether or not the iPhone is jailbroken and regardless of where in the file hierarchy the files are placed.
Thoughts?
Thanks!!
