I had Classic Gnome running and go-mtpfs wouldn't work. I switched back 
to Unity interface and Installed go-mtpfs-unity and put it in the unity 
launcher bar, and it worked great.

If I want to connect my phone all I have to do is log out and log back 
in with the unity interface then I can mount my phone.

Thanks every one who replied to help me. I'm really grateful to all.
