I think it is supposed to, and no, it doesn't work for me either.

Ditto.

Don't bother. As the reporter of that bug (in F13), I can tell you that
nothing has changed and it still exists in F14. However I suspect Apple
devices don't even use MTP at all so it's probably not relevant, just
very annoying when you see the pop-up.

Thanks for sharing your experiences on this.
I tried rhythmbox as well but not having installed
libmtp-hal didnt get quite the same experience as you did in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=654508
rhythmbox still crashes though. I guess I should bz that:. It does try
to access the iphone - makes it buzz several times. Then there is stuff
like:

I'm not quite sure if this is the same as yours and my user with iphone
isnt in yet today so will BZ when I can reconfirm exactly what happens.
Will copy BZ #'s here.

KDE apps are supposed to use Phonon, but that's about as much as I know
about it.
BTW the 3GS sort of works using the Gnome tools. At least you can sync
it using gtkpod, as long as you have the libmobiledevice package
installed. This provides a shim to allow you to "mount" iPhones, and is
necessary because unlike iPods, they don't behave as removable storage.
So maybe what's required is for Amarok to use libmobiledevice when
trying to access iPhones.
The lack of user-accessible documentation on all this is spectacular.
Agreed. It seems really hard to find out which packages are involved and
how its all supposed to work. Thats fine if it does work, but when
things break it would be good to have a clue about where to look.
We have libimobiledevice installed but I'm not sure who uses it.
Do we need ifuse?
And, as you mentioned earlier, who uses the libmtp and do I need (a
fixed) libmtp-hal?
