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. > Am I right in thinking kde apps(like amarok) still use hal for hardware > discovery while gtk apps no longer do? 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. poc _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
