Fix, no.  Work-around, maybe. Providing I recall this correctly.

I ran into this when I first updated to ios8 and what seemed to work
for me then was to make the connection, ignore the time-out, trust the
computer on the iPhone, and then unplug and re-plug the iPhone's USB
connection to the host. The second connection attempt worked as I
recall.
