Here's what worked from me (from imobiledevice.org):

When your device is plugged in, close out the error. Then run

idevicepair unpair && idevicepair pair

Then unplug your device and plug it back in.

Sorry for the long delay. Yes, if you upgrade libimobiledevice1 to 1.0.4, and usbmuxd to 1.0.6, it should solve this error. I can confirm the fix on my system. Since both versions are included in Debian unstable, I'm closing the bug report. Feel free to reopen it if it's not solve. Regards, Julien Lavergne From here: us.generation-nt.com/answer/… I personally am part way through testing this. Dave – Dave Dec 18 '11 at 22:57
But I am already using libimobiledevice 1.1.1 and usbmuxd 1.0.7. – wim Dec 20 '11 at 8:19
Yeah I have seen that, but I am more interested in what is the cause and what is an "Unhandled Lockdown error", because it was reoccurring problem for me – wim Feb 2 at 6:08

This worked for me on 11.04 with iOS 5.0. However, I needed to run the command sudo apt-get install libimobiledevice-utils first before I could run idevicepair unpair && idevicepair pair. (More info here.) – Ray Vega Feb 11 at 6:22
Can't comment on san's response because I don't have the rep. san's response works; if however after following the unpair/pair instructions and unplugging/plugging your device you still get the error you may need to unlock your device (and, if needed, insert your PIN) and unpair/pair while the device is unlocked. While a device is locked it cannot be paired. wim: In reply to your other comment I believe it may have been because your device was paired with another machine. Unless it's a recurring problem in which case I couldn't say. – GuruMeditation Feb 16 at 21:38
