Fedora 14: iPod not mounting

[Neil Bird]

   I just got an iPod Touch 4G for my son, and tried it in my Fedora 14 PC 
(he has a school Windows laptop I can put iTunes on but I'd rather get it 
working “properly” :) )

   When I plug it in I get am error popup:


unable to mount ipod touch

dbus error org.freedesktop.dbus.error.noreply: message did not receive a 
reply (timeout by message bus)


   The only other indication is a new icon in the drivemount-applet (but 
that then crashes when I choose “Mount iPod”!).  I don't recall seeing 
anything on the desktop (like when USB sticks or CDs are inserted).

   I also don't see the thing creating a /dev device:  my understanding was 
that the iPod should still appear as a USB storage device.

   Any suggestions as to what to look at next?

   I shall try to find the USB IDs in the h/w database/udev/hal/whatever 
files to see if it's one that just needs to be added, but short of that I'm 
at a loss.
