Unable to mount ipod - Unhandled Lockdown error (-5)

[serpicojam]

Tried all of this to no avail. iPhone 3GS with iOS 5, ubuntu 10.04. Error comes when I attempt the idevicepair unpair. I get error code -256. Getting bummed out!

I am having the same problem. When I try to repair, I get the following error:

QueryType failed, error code -256

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I also had this issue. I found a bug report referencing the '-5' error that looked like it was resolved with an update to libimobiledevice. libimobiledevice-utils was already up to date so I just went ahead and installed the following packages:

sudo apt-get install libimobiledevice2-dbg libimobiledevice-dev libimobiledevice-doc libimobiledevice2

and voila! Success!

I welcome any tips or instruction on how I could have handled this more elegantly than just installing every package synaptic showed containing "libimobiledevice*"

Anybody know of a fix for Lucid / 3GS with iOS 5?

Had the same problem, Ubuntu 11.10 32bits, iPod 4s 5.0.1.
Also worked for me:
sudo apt-get install ifuse libimobiledevice-utils idevicepair unpair && idevicepair pair
-Reconnect iPod
Thanks.

I'm still having this issue. Tried the other solutions but no result. Still getting "unable to mount iPod Touch; Unhandled Lockdown error (-15).
I'm using an iPod touch with Ubuntu 11.10 32bit.
A little new to this, so the code suggestions before that broke across two lines, I don't think I was copying and pasting correctly. I've got iFuse installed, but haven't had any success with the libraries. Are the two lines of codes supposed to be one?
Any/all suggestions welcome. Please help.

I'm having a similar issue.

But I'm still having the "unhandled lockdown error -15" when I plug it in.

What is the error? Why can I see what the device is called but it won't mount?

I've got an iPod Touch 3G with iOS 5.0.1, Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit.

I get a slightly different issue now with the code. It runs fine, but doesn't install anything.

griso8v@desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install ifuse libimobiledevice-utils

ifuse is already the newest version.
libimobiledevice-utils is already the newest version.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libgladeui-1-11 linux-headers-3.0.0-12 linux-headers-3.0.0-12-generic
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

For newly installed, my results are zero. Nothing else happens. End of line. I didn't have the iPod connected at the time of running the code. Should I have?

Awesome.. that little fix worked perfectly

Still doesn't work. Why doesn't Ubuntu has to make things like tihs easy, not difficult.
