The version of libimobiledevice that ships with Ubuntu 14.04 is outdated. The handshake protocol (the way the software running on your computer authenticates with the iPhone or iPad) has changed in the latest couple of version of libimobiledevice and you need a new version of libimobiledevice.

Your best bet is to compile and install the following software from source:

For each of the repositories, you'll need to git clone the repository, run ./autogen.sh, make and then sudo make install

If you don't want to compile from source, and upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04 is an option, we maintain an Ubuntu PPA with up-to-date and precompiled versions of libimobiledevice at https://launchpad.net/~quamotion/+archive/ubuntu/ppa.
