Public bug reported: I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy) and am now unable to copy files from my iPhone (with iOS 6) using Nautilus.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a Nautilus window. 2. Attach an iPhone. Two new entries appear under Devices in the left side panel: "<iPhone name>" and "Documents on <iPhone name>" 3. Middle-click on the <iPhone name> entry (or right-click and select "Open in New Tab") to mount the iPhone file system and open a new tab. 4. Copy a file from the iPhone tab, and paste into the original tab. At this point Nautilus shows an alert box: Error while copying "<filename>". There was an error copying the into <directory>. Show more details (when expanded:) Operation not supported by backend I don't remember if Apport prompts me to report this crash immediately or after a certain amount of time, but I have a crash report in /var/crash for gvfsd-afc. I'd be happy to attach it here if necessary, though I've already reported this crash a few times; I'm sure the developers can also find it on errors.ubuntu.com under the title "gvfsd- afc crashed with SIGABRT in g_assertion_message()". In Nautilus, I can still copy files to the iPhone and delete files from the iPhone; only copying files from the iPhone is not working. I can also view pictures from my iPhone directly, and copy files from it using Terminal (by going to the mount point in /run/user directly), so it appears only Nautilus is affected.
