iPad Photos -

[Bob Goodwin]

What fedora 27 application do I need to extract photos from an iPad?

I had a program that worked with to download photos from an iPhone but 
forgot the name.

Any help appreciated,

Bob

I don't have an iPad, but when I connect my Kindle, my iPods, or my Android
phone, they are mounted automagically and a file manager opens to list its
content.  Photos are usually in a folder named Dcim on all the devices I
use.  I just move the photos to my hard drive and open them with Image
Viewer or Gimp.  I'm running Fedora 26, Xfce desktop, and will soon to
upgrade to 27.
HTH,
Stephen

You don't say if you are using a USB cable or if you want to do it via wireless.

For wireless, if you just want to transfer files, you can always use an sftp client
such as https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ftpmanager-ftp-sftp-client/id525959186?mt=8

I was using a USB cable, unfortunately it was plugged into the wrong computer! As Stephen P. points out, once I realized the connection problem, shotwell found the iPad and extracted the photos.

I have used wifi too, but the USB connection always seems convenient, 
it's usually plugged in to keep the battery charged, unfortunately it is 
normally plugged in to an NFS server that provides power continuously. 
This computer I shut down at night and that is the reason for the confusion.

Thanks for the responses,

Bob

Jerry Pournelle always said that the first thing you should do in 
troubleshooting computers is to check the cables.  I don't think this is 
the sort of problem he was thinking of, and alas, I can't ask him.

Bureaucracy."  Sadly missed and remembered fondly.   But he does live on:

I tend to expect software problems rather that hardware these days, 
despite having spent half my life solving hardware problems ...
And in this case it was operator error, the hardware is more reliable 
than me.
