Ubuntu – Ubuntu not recognizing iPhone

iphoneusb

I know there are ALOT of these questions that have been asked, and solved. But I followed those I found, and for me, neither of them worked for me! ifuse won't detect my iPhone!

A few days ago I could access my iPhone just normally, but now, it doesn't work! 🙁

Here are some specs:

iPhone (before) :

Model : iPhone 4

iOS Version : iOS 6.0

Jailbroken? : Yes

Using stand/dock? : No

iPhone (after) :

Model : iPhone 4

iOS Version : iOS 6.0.1

Jailbroken? : No

Using stand/dock? : Yes

Computer:

Model : Mac Mini (mid-2009)

Ubuntu Version : 10.04 Lucid

USB-Ports : 5

And yes, I have tested to empty all used USB's expect for the iPhone's charging cable and I have tested with the original Apple USB cable

Oh, and by the way, I tried with my sisters iPhone 3G and it worked just fine!

And still no difference!

I'm having the same issue.

I have an iphone 4. 2 days ago it was using IOS 4 and I could mount the internal memory on my Ubuntu Oneiric PC. I upgraded my iphone to IOS 6 and now my PC will no longer mount my iphone. Theres no error. dmesg just has ::

[23249.171564] usb 2-1.2: new high speed USB device number 18 using ehci_hcd
[23249.386535] ipheth 2-1.2:4.2: Apple iPhone USB Ethernet device attached
[23249.436087] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready

So basically, my Ubuntu sees the phone, thinks it's an ethernet device and therefore cannot mount the disk space like it did before. Nothing I try will work. Any suggestions?

I've got the following software installed on my PC ::

libimobiledevice-dev
libimobiledevice-utils
libimobiledevice2

I've also tried ::

sudo idevicepair unpair && idevicepair pair
