ERROR: Could not connect to lockdownd, error code -5

Spend several hours trying to figure this out but with no luck. I reinstalled (libimobiledevice - 1.2.0) from the source (including libplist-1.12, ifuse-1.1.3 and libusbmuxd-1.1.0). I have no parental restrictions on the device and no screen lock. The device will not mount through Mac and returns the same errors.

First try with below steps for resolution.

1) Go to /var/db folder using terminal.
2) You can see "lockdown" folder.
3) Please delete lockdown folder either manually or by this command "rm -rf lockdown"
4) Create new folder using cmd "sudo mkdir lockdown".
5)  try this "sudo chown _usbmuxd lockdown"
6) Unplug and plug the iphone cable and trust this device in iphone and system.

It will solve the problem.

If above solution is not working then please try below steps. this steps will resolve this error permanently.

The issue appears to be with the version of libimobiledevice available via homebrew (currently 1.2.0). The simplest workaround until a new release is cut is likely to install from head:

1) brew uninstall libimobiledevice

2) brew install --HEAD libimobiledevice



This solution might work 100% to resolve this problem.
