Allan,
I plugged my iPhone5 into a MBP that's never had any iOS device attached to it. My phone is locked. When I plugged it in it asked to agree to the license (iTunes hasn't been used either). The
first thing it says is "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "xxxxx" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
When I connect it to my regular Mac it says it can't back it up because it's locked so I have to unlock it before that works within iTunes.
I downloaded the demo version of iExplorer and couldn't get it to even see my iPhone. It kept saying please attach an iPod or iPhone. I tried it locked and unlocked and it never saw it. I don't
have a jailbroken iPhone, which is one of the preference settings.

With all these minor security issues iOS if having recently, I read something that intrigued me. One of the latest so called hacks into the iPhone talked about by-passing the password to get to photos. Now every time I plug in my iPhone I can see the photos,
even if the phone is locked. I read that photo are only available after the phone has been unlocked while connected to the computer. That only needs to happen one time, then the computer remembers about the phone (or the phone remembers the computer) and access
to photos is granted to that computer without the phone needed to be unlocked.
OK, this a GREAT, but I want to test it. I've always been able to use things like iExplorer to access data on the iPhone, but maybe I've always had an authorized computer. Anyone know of a way to deauthorize a computer (I don't think this is the same as
the deauthorize in iTunes, but it might be) for access to an iPhones photos when the iPhone is locked?
