Among the possible problems, users comment as a possible cause of the problem the file in the following path: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework and it is installed with the iTunes update. This file is incompatible with Sarai 10.1.2. In any case, it is not confirmed that the error is exactly this. For now Apple has not commented on the matter.
