To connect an iOS device to ADF PRO or Mobile Device Investigator, it's essential to have iTunes installed, as ADF leverages iTunes for the proper connection.

Begin by unlocking the device, setting Auto-Lock to Never, and accessing the "Add Device Wizard." Following the prompts to establish a device connection, you'll have access to more data than the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP), which only retrieves media.

For those with iOS 16 or higher, enable screen mirroring via AirPlay by connecting both the iOS device and ADF workstation to the same WiFi access point, ensuring a smooth connection for casting. If issues arise, consider alternative methods like MyPublicWiFi for a local network setup without internet access.
