I confirm the same errors occur with iPhone4s and iOS 8.2, ubuntu 14.04.

After installing the ppa for libimobiledevice 1.6, I manage to
sometimes, inconsistently, be able to mount the phone and transfer files
(e.g. pictures from the DCIM folder). The sequence that has worked
(sometimes) is the following:

1. write "sudo idevicepair pair" to a terminal and push enter. Enter your password. The phone is not plugged yet so nothing happens.
2. push the up arrow to have the above command ready for execution.
3. make sure the phone is unlocked (that is, you can click on apps, etc.)
4. plug the phone
5. push enter quickly
6. Select "Trust" in the popup that shows in the phone.
7. Sometimes, you will get the phone mounted. Copy files. Make sure the phone doesn't lock up from lack of activity or the file transfer will be interrupted (happened at least once).

So: brittle, but it can work.

Would be lovely if this could be made robust. Thanks a lot to the
authors of the libimobiledevice library.

Title:
  Unable to mount iPad with IOS 8

Status in libimobiledevice package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I can't mount my iPad after I upgraded to IOS 8. After plugging in I
  get a series of error messages, also my iPad keep asking wether I
  trust my computer.

  I get messages like:
  Unable to mount ...'s iPad: Location is already mounted  - (it's not)
  Unable to mount iPhone: Unhandled lockdown error (-3) (also sometimes -20)

  If I remember correctly this happened last year after I upgraded to
  iOS 7.

  The problem exists in Utopic too.
