But, I can't seem to find the files from the iPad.  Sorry, I'm an iPad
newbie doing this for my neighbor, who is studying to become a US
citizen.  On top of that, the iOS is in a foreign language.  :-)

Linux is in the real world. No Apple device works in the real world.
In fact, Apple _hates_ their devices working in the real world.

Linux isn't supported.
It doesn't exist (to Apple).

Which is to say that Apple devices are designed ONLY for the walled garden.

When you're logged into Apple servers every moment of your life.
Apple devices, as a result, are nothing more than dumb terminals.

However, you can certainly do whatever you want to do.
If you're clever.
And with a little knowledge...

All of which has been posted before to this ng so it's in the archives.

Check these out first, and if you have questions, ask me.

Bear in mind you can always use ShareDrop (which isn't described below
as ShareDrop came after all those tutorials were written).

I've done it all, but I haven't bothered in years as my newest iPad is only
used for Google Voice nowadays - as iOS doesn't do anything Android doesn't
already do (but iOS runs GV BETTER than Android does - so it's useful).

Has anyone here already run a Linux iFuse (libimobiledevice) port on Windows?

Why doesn't Apple just let you manage your iOS file system natively on the PC?

The only place anything works with Apple is inside the walled garden.
