- Now you’ll be asked which volumes you want to mount. Select iPhone Root FileSystem and click OK.
- You’ll now have a Shared entry titled localhost in your Finder menu. From here you can navigate through all the folders on your iPhone or iPod Touch. As you’d expect, you can open/view files, copy files to and from your device etc. Be careful though, esp. when it comes to deleting or modifying files.
