For you unlockers and jailbreakers, today the Dev Team has just released a version of UltraSnow that is compatible with iOS 5! So you can now unlock iOS 5 and use it with any provider. Check out the new features in iOS 5 here.

Just know that no new basebands are supported. The update only adds support for iOS 5. The iPhone 3G and 3GS basebands supported are 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01, 05.13.04, and 06.15.00. The baseband supported for the iPhone 4 is 01.59.00.

Also know that the jailbreak is only a tethered jailbreak, except for those of you who have the 3GS that has the old bootrom. So that means, if your phone powers down, you’ll need to connect your phone to your computer when you boot back up.

I would also suggest saving your SHSH blobs before doing this using this tutorial:

http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=16988

Here is some more important info from the iPhone Dev Team Blog:

We’ve updated ultrasn0w to be compatible with iOS5, which came out a few days ago. While ultrasn0w 1.2.4 (available now in Cydia) doesn’t add support for any new basebands, the update is required for any ultrasn0w unlockers trying out iOS5 (it remains backwards compatible though, so you should be able to use it no matter what firmware you have).

Note: there’s a special “trick” that iPhone3GS owners with baseband 06.15 need for iOS5. During the new setup screens you see when you start iOS5 for the first time, you’ll be asked about Location Services. Be sure to select “Disable Location Services” when asked! Later on in the setup, you’ll have the chance to turn on Location Services again when asked if you want to use “Find my iPhone”. It’s fine to turn it back on at that point, if that’s your desire (or you can always go in and enable it in Settings.app).

Also, some iPhone3GS users with the 06.15 baseband may have tried to install iOS5 using a stock IPSW (even though you should never ever try to use a stock IPSW if you’re an ultrasn0w unlocker). If you did try this, your baseband is probably in an inconsistent state, and you’ll need to reflash the 06.15 baseband again (using redsn0w). Be very careful if you use redsn0w to reflash the iPad baseband – don’t interrupt the process! And please avoid using stock IPSWs in the future Unlockers should never go near stock IPSWs.

So if you qualify, and you don’t mind having a tethered jailbreak, then here are the three things that you want to do:

1. Upgrade to iOS 5 without upgrading your baseband

Tutorial: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=17344

2. Jailbreak your iPhone

Again, this is a tethered jailbreak; the Dev team will be releasing an untethered jailbreak very soon, and I will post it on my blog when they do.

Tutorial: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=17342

3. Unlock your iPhone (if need be)

Tutorial: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=4253

I may or may not do this tethered jailbreak. It depends how much time I have. But once they release an untethered jailbreak, then I will definitely be upgrading to iOS 5, and when I do, I’ll record the process on video and post it.

And when they release an untethered jailbreak and unlock for the iPhone 4S, I will buy the iPhone 4S, record the jailbreaking and unlocking of it, and post that as well.

Enjoy iOS 5 and let me know what you think of it!

Ok, so 2 days ago, a friend of mine had her iPhone 4 stolen. She was in a Starbucks, got up from her table to leave, threw out her empty coffee cup, walked outside about 20 feet, and quickly realized that she forgot her iPhone. She looked in through the window at the table where she was just sitting and saw that her iPhone was already gone! Crazy.

I helped her look for it EVERYWHERE! In the trash, under all of the tables, in the corner, in the guy’s bag who had sat down at the same table where she was sitting…nada!

So we went through the options:

• Did she subscribe to MobileMe? –> Nope!
• Had she backed up her iPhone via iTunes? –> ‘Fraid not! Never did. Not even once.
• Did she have insurance on her iPhone? –> Ummm…nope!

Unfortunately, she had not prepared for such a situation because she lives and hangs out in a really nice area of town. But, alas…this is LA! However, in her defense, one of the workers at that Starbucks who has worked there for a while said something gets stolen from a customer there maybe once or twice a year. So it just so happened that she was one of those two! Not cool.

But because that unfortunate incident happened, you guys benefit, because I’m going to hook you up with some info that will help you protect your iPhone (and your other iOS devices), or at the very least, protect your data, in case this happens, which hopefully it won’t!

Back it up!

First off, you MUST MUST MUST backup your phone. It’s super easy. All you have to do is hook up your iPhone to your computer via USB. Use the same cord you use to charge it, but take off the adapter that allows it to plug into the wall so you can plug that end into the USB port of your computer.

Then, select the music, movies, etc. that you want on your iPhone by clicking on the corresponding tabs at the top of iTunes, and putting check marks in the boxes next to the items that you want to put on your iPhone. Then click APPLY in the bottom right corner of iTunes. Let it do its thing (sync/copy the files), and then you’re done! Every time it syncs, it will backup your iPhone’s data, unless you tell it not to in the Preferences of iTunes.

Here, watch this for a visual:

Click here to view the embedded video.

OK. Cool. So now you have all of the data on your iPhone backed up, including SMS, photos, call history, music, email…everything. Nice. That way, if you don’t happen to get your iPhone back because the guy that took it is just too large for you to handle, then you can at least get another iPhone, sync it to your computer, put all of your data that was on your old iPhone onto the new one, and get your life back. However, you can always go to the cops and have them take on the large one who took your phone.

How to Use “Find My iPhone”

After you back up your iPhone, you want to register for the “Find My iPhone” service.

But first, before we do that, watch this video so you have a visual of how “Find My iPhone” works:

Click here to view the embedded video.

Isn’t that a cool service? And the best part? If you have an iPhone 4, an iPad, or a 4th generation iPod Touch, it’s FREE! Apple is so cool to us customers.

So, let’s get your iPhone registered right now.

First, you’ll need to download and install the “Find My iPhone” app, if you haven’t already.

To do this, just click on the App Store app on your iPhone, click on the “Search” tab at the bottom of the screen, and then type in “Find My iPhone” (no quotes) in the search field at the top of the screen. The icon for it should pop up (it’s the same one as the green circle that’s in the main image for this blog post). Just click on it to go to the page for that app, and then click “Install”.

Once you have “Find My iPhone” installed on your iPhone, follow the steps below.

Step 1:

Make sure your iPhone is running iOS 4.2. The way to check is go to SETTINGS>GENERAL>ABOUT>and look at the number next to VERSION. If you have that version or higher, great. Let’s keep going.

If you don’t, then update your iPhone OS simply by connecting your iPhone to your Mac or PC and follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes (open iTunes if it doesn’t open automatically when you connect your iPhone to your computer).

If you’re creating a free account for the first time, you’ll need an iPhone 4.

Step 2:

Go to SETTINGS>MAIL, CONTACTS, CALENDARS

Step 3:

Click on ADD ACCOUNT>MOBILEME

Step 4

Enter your Apple ID and Password.

If you already have an account with the iTunes store, or you’ve bought something from Apple’s online store, then you already have an Apple ID.

If you don’t have one, then click “Create Apple ID” at the bottom of the screen and follow the prompts.

If you’re a MobileMe subscriber already, then simply enter your .me or .mac email address and password.

Step 5

Verify your account.

If it says “Not Verified” under your MobileMe account, go to your email inbox and look for a message from Apple that was just sent to you. Open the email, click the Verify Now link, and sign in with your new Apple ID that you just created.

If you don’t see an email from Apple in your inbox, then click on your MobileMe account, and click “Resend Verification Email.”

Step 6

Go back to the MobileMe screen and turn on “Find My iPhone.” When the “Find My iPhone” message pops up, click ALLOW.

Step 7

Give it a shot! Open up the “Find My iPhone” app that you download and log in. You should be able to see your phone listed, and also be able to locate it. You can also use it to locate other phones that are registered with this service. All you have to do is log in with their Apple ID with the app.

You can also log into www.me.com with your Apple ID, instead of using the app, and do the same thing.

UPDATE: Here’s How to Get it to Work on an iPhone 3G or 3GS

A reader wrote in and asked it this worked on an iPhone 3G or 3GS. So I did some research, and according this post on Lifehacker.com, it does!

You just need to use a qualifying iOS device, meaning a 2010 or later iOS device, to set it up. Use a friend’s if you don’t happen to have one, because you can delete their device from your account after you set up your device on the service.

Simply follow the steps above with either your or a friend’s 2010 iOS device using YOUR Apple ID. Once the newer iOS device is registered with your Apple ID, follow the same steps above with your iPhone 3G or 3GS, also using your Apple ID.

Test the locating of your device with the service by using the app on the newer iOS device (or on any other iOS device with the free Find My iPhone app, which they can download from the app store if they don’t have it), or by logging into www.me.com.

After you confirm that the 3G or 3GS works, if the newer iOS device is not yours or you don’t want it attached to your Apple ID, on the newer iOS device, delete your MobileMe account (SETTINGS > MAIL, CONTACTS, CALENDARS > MobileMe account > Delete Account). If you do want to keep it attached, just leave it alone.

After that, you should be good to go!

Update: I just tested it and this does work.

Things You Need to Know

• Your iOS device needs to be ON in order for you to be able to locate it, so KEEP YOUR BATTERY CHARGED (that was another factor against my friend in the story above…the phone had only 7% on it, so when we tried to call it, it went to straight to voicemail, which means it was off)
• If you’re trying to locate an iPod Touch or iPad, since the service cannot use cell triangulation, your iOS device will need to be connected to a wifi network in order for it to be found, because the service locates the device by locating the router that is broadcasting the wireless signal that your iOS device is currently on
• You can prompt your iOS device to pop up a message that tells people your device is lost, and you would appreciate it if they returned it. Your message will pop up with a loud sound that will sound, even if the sound is turned off. And no one will be able to turn the sound off.
• If you don’t think you’re going to be able to retrieve it, you can remotely wipe your iPhone of all of your data just by logging into www.me.com and selecting that service. Apple’s got your back!

TROUBLESHOOTING: This service will not work for you if…

• iPhone is not on or currently not connected to a data network (Edge, 3G or Wi-Fi)
• iPad or iPod Touch is currently off or not connected to a Wi-Fi network
• “Push” is not enabled in (SETTINGS > MAIL, CONTACTS, CALENDARS > FETCH DATA)
• You tried to initiate a remote wipe of the phone (wiping all of the data remotely; you would only do this if you lost it or if it were stolen, and you did not think you would ever get it back)
• You have multiple MobileMe accounts on the iPhone
• The date isn’t right on your iPhone
• The device’s iOS version is not up to date (or at least iOS 4.2; SETTINGS>GENERAL>ABOUT>VERSION)
• Your MobileMe account is not configured correctly in your iOS device (try deleting it and adding it again; see steps on how to do this above)
• The “Find My iPhone” service is not on (SETTINGS > MAIL, CONTACTS, CALENDARS > Your MobileMe Account > Make sure “Find My iPhone” is ON)
• Your iPhone is in and out of service (doesn’t have a strong signal)
• Location Services is not enabled (SETTINGS > GENERAL)
• You’re living in a country where Apple does not offer this service
• If it says, “Location not available,” (it might even say “Message pending” underneath “Location not available”) and you’ve gone through and tried all of the above troubleshooting items, then try deleting the MobileMe account (SETTINGS > MAIL, CONTACTS, CALENDARS > MobileMe account > Delete Account), and then add it back in, BUT…TURN OFF “Find My iPhone” BEFORE you save it. AFTER you save the new account, THEN go back in and TURN ON “Find My iPhone.” That’s what finally fixed it for me.

Now you have it set up and…surprise, surprise…it works!

So now you’re in a MUCH better place than my unfortunate friend was when her iPhone got stolen. You’re educated on how to backup your iOS device so you’ll always have your data, and on how to use “Find My iPhone” to locate it if you’re ever in the unfortunate circumstance where you can’t find your iOS device.

Be sure and share this post with your friends on Twitter, Facebook, via email, and wherever else you hang out online so they can benefit as well.

Do you want to add the ability for people to donate money to your cause, your website, or you? Want to use PayPal to do it? Want to set it up so that the donors can donate via their credit or debit card without having to sign up for PayPal?

It’s easier than you might think.

Just do this:

1. Log into your PayPal account
2. Click on the “Merchant Services” tab
3. Click on the “Donate” link under the “Create Buttons” section
4. Choose button type
5. Enter “Organization name/service” (enter your name if it’s for you)
6. Click on the “Customize text or appearance” link if you want to change how your “Donate” button is going to look
7. Select currency (ex. USD = US Dollar)
8. Select whether you want your donors to enter their own contribution amount, or if you want them to contribute a fixed amount.
9. Select whether you want to use your secure merchant account ID (recommended) or your primary email address
10. Click the triangle to the left of Step 2 (another section of the form will drop down)
11. Check the box if you want to save your PayPal button for future use or to use as a template
12. Click on the triangle next to Step 3
13. Select whether or not you want the donor to have the ability to write a note to you that would be sent along with their donation
14. Select whether or not you need the donor’s shipping address
15. Check the box if you have a custom web page that you or your designer made that the donor would be sent to if they cancel their checkout (most likely you won’t have this, so skip it)
16. Check the box if you have a custom web page that the donors will be sent to when they finish checkout (again, you probably won’t have this)
17. Click the orange “Create Button” button
18. 18. Determine if you want to use the code for your website, or if you want a link that you can email (of course, you can use both, if you want).
19. Click on the corresponding tab of the one you want to use
20. Click the “Select Code” button beneath it (this will highlight the code)
21. RIGHT-click on the highlighted code (or, on your Mac, if you don’t have a mouse, hold down your CTRL key and click on it) and select COPY
22. Then either paste it in an email if you copied the email link, or paste it into a “Text” widget if you’re putting a “Donate” button on your WordPress blog. To “paste” the code, RIGHT-click (CTRL-click for Mac if no mouse) in the space where you want to paste it and select PASTE.

When the donor clicks on either the email link or the donate button, they will be taken to a PayPal page where they can enter the amount they’d like to donate (if you opted to allow them to choose the amount). Below that, it will ask them to sign in to PayPal.

However, to the left of where the would sign into PayPal, there is section entitled, “Don’t have a PayPal account?” They can click on the “Continue” link in that section, and it will open up a section where they can enter their info and credit/debit card info (see image below).

NOTE: It should NOT ask them to create a PayPal password at the bottom of the form. The form should only ask for their country, name, address, phone number, credit/debit card info, and email address (see above image).

After they enter their info, they can just click on the “Review Donation and Continue” button, review the info they entered, and then click the “Donate” button.

That should be it!

To check out what the page should look like after you create the button and/or email link, click on the link below:

Ever have a need to know if a phone number is a land line or a cell phone number? Or maybe you want to know it’s location? Well, there’s an app for that. Kidding. I’m sure there is, but there’s a website for that as well.

Here it is:

I just had a client who reformatted his drive and reinstalled Windows XP Pro on it. After he did that, when he reattached the 2 other SATA internal hard drives that he has for his data, one showed up fine, and the other showed up as a “Foreign Domestic Drive” and had a yellow question mark next to it in Disk Management (see image of similar situation below).

 
When I RIGHT-clicked on it in Disk Management, it gave the options to either “convert to basic disk” (which you do NOT want to do unless you want to lose all of your data), or to “Import Foreign Disk.” The answer was to Import Foreign Disk. It only took about 10 seconds.

So here’s how to get to Disk Management in Windows XP to do this:

1. Log on as administrator or as a member of the Administrators group (which basically means just log into your computer since a user is set up as an “Administrator” by default)
2. Click Start button in bottom left
3. Click Run (Windows 7 or Vista see below)
4. Type compmgmt.msc (Windows 7 or Vista see below)
5. Click OK (Windows 7 or Vista see below)
6. In the console tree, click Disk Management (Windows 7 or Vista see below)

NOTE 1: If you’re using Windows 7 or Vista, skip steps 3 – 6 above, and after you click the colored start ball in the bottom left of your screen, simply type Disk Management in the search field and hit your key to get to Disk Management.

7. Once in Disk Management, RIGHT-click on the section for the hard drive in question where the yellow exclamation mark is on the the icon for the hard drive (same section where it as “Dynamic Foreign”; see image above)
8. Select “Import Foreign Disk”
9. It will take about 10 seconds to do its thing
10. It will then ask, “Before using these disks, add them to your system configuration. Disk groups: ” Below that text will be a box with a check box already checked next to “Foreign disk group (1 of 1 disk).” Yes, you want to do that. Just click OK.
11. After this, you should be good to go and have all of your data back, so check it.

NOTE 2: During my research, one guy said after he clicked “Import Foreign Disk,” it hanged for about 10 hours, however everyone else said that it worked. And it worked for my client. So maybe that one guy was experiencing a user error or had a more serious problem. But I still feel compelled to say to do this at your own risk.

After you do this, the only thing that will be different is that the bar in Disk Management for that disk that was just imported will be green instead of blue. But other than that, things will be back to normal.

NOTE 3: If you your disk is being classified as “invalid” instead of “foreign,” then you might have it connected via USB, which Windows Vista & 7 do not like. If that’s the case, then find a way to connect it directly via SATA or IDE (depending on what kind of drive it is), and then it should show up as a foreign drive and you can follow the above instructions to import it.

Enjoy!

If you have a jailbroken iPhone/iPod Touch and you bought some apps via Cydia that you forgot to backup before you upgraded to the latest version of iOS, then have no fear. Your Cydia purchases are intact! All you have to do after you jailbreak your iOS device again is log into Cydia, download and install the app that wasn’t backed up, and re-register it. It should remember your registration number. It did for my iPhone anyway. I just downloaded the Cydia app that I had bought before, opened it, clicked on “Register,” and on the page it brought up, my registration number was already filled in. I just had to click “Activate” and I was good to go! Pretty cool.

Even if you get another iPhone/iPad (upgrade to the latest version, for example), Cydia apparently transfers your purchase history to your new device. I haven’t tried that yet, but that’s what they said on HowardForums.com, one of the most well-known and respected cell phone forums on the net.

Just to be clear, though, unless you backed up your Cydia apps BEFORE you did the jailbreak (in which case you wouldn’t have a need to read this), then all of your inputted data in the app will be lost, as well as the settings. But that’s to be expected, right, since you’re downloading the latest version of the app directly from Cydia? But at least you didn’t have to buy it again!

If you want to backup your apps before you upgrade to the latest iOS, then you can do it with a free app called AptBackup that you can download from Cydia. But just know that it only backs up the LIST of apps that you downloaded, not the actual apps themselves or the app settings.

PLEASE NOTE that it does say in the instructions (see below) that you first have to “restore your iPhone and restore your backup in iTunes“, which I do NOT recommend doing. When I restored my iPhone from a backup, my battery drained crazy fast! I did a ton of research (which I will be posting soon), and found out that the reason why my battery was draining so fast was that I had restored it from a previous backup. You must set it up as a NEW PHONE if you don’t want that to happen, which means you will NOT be restoring from a backup. So this app would not work for how I suggest upgrading your iOS device based on my experience, unfortunately.

Did you get a “bad value” error while uploading a video to YouTube? Want to know what the deal is? It’s simply that there is a symbol in the description of your video that you typed that YouTube doesn’t like.

The one that gave me the error was the “>” symbol. So if you used “>” or “< " in the desription of your video, then that's your problem. Simply delete it and then save your changes. If that was not what you used, then look for other symbols in your description. Just try deleting each one, one by one, saving it after you delete each one so you know which one is causing the issue.

If there are other characters that you used in your description that caused this error and you know what it is, then please post it in the comments below so others can benefit. Thanks!

Want to know how to burn an .ISO file with your Mac? Here’s a quick video that I made that walks you through the entire process.

If you’re not sure what an .ISO file is, it’s simply a disk image file that, when you burn it to a CD, it creates an exact duplicate of the CD that the ISO file was made from. You usually download an ISO file from the Internet so you can burn it to CD.

Here’s the video:

Click here to view the embedded video.

And here are the written instructions on how to do it so you have them:

1. Insert a blank CD into your Mac
2. Go to Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility
3. Go to File
4. Select “Open Disk Image”
5. Browse to the .ISO file you want to burn
6. Click Open
7. Click on .ISO file listed on left side of Disk Utility
8. Click the “Burn” icon at the top of the Disk Utility window
9. Select “Eject Disk” or “Mount on Desktop” to choose what you want it to do after it finishes burning
10. Click Burn (it may take longer to burn your ISO file; SeaTools is only 8.9MB in size)
11. It should come up with the message, “Image “Name of .ISO File” burned successfully.”
12. The disk will either eject automatically or appear on your Desktop, depending on what you chose in Step #9
13. Double-click on the CD to make sure the files got burned to the CD (insert the CD again if it you chose for it to eject automatically)
14. Done!

Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.

If you’re getting the message, “iTunes requires a computer with a G4, G5 or Intel processor”, then that means you’re dealing with an older Mac that has a G3 processor or earlier that is not compatible with the latest version of iTunes.

What’s the fix?

Well, you have to dig around the Internet to find it, but Sarah, a visitor to my blog, emailed me and asked me what to do. So I did some research, and found that if you are running Mac OS X 10.4.1, which is Tiger, then all you need to do is install iTunes 8.4, which you can get here:

Download iTunes 8.4 for Mac
(again, you have to have a G3 processor, and you have to be running 10.4.1 (Tiger) or later)

However, if you are running, let’s say, Mac OS X 10.3.9, which is what she was running, then this is where you need to dig a little deeper on the Internet to find your solution.

Luckily, the boys over at ihackintosh.com did the dirty work for me. They made a blog post that has the direct Apple download links to previous versions of iTunes, from version 7.4 to 8.2 for both Mac and PC. However, you’ll need to research which version is best for your system. Google is your friend in this type of situation.

Check out their list of vintage iTunes download links here.

By the way, the solution I suggested for Sarah was to give iTunes version 7.4 a try. I’ll send her the link to this post, and hopefully she’ll return with positive results that she’ll post in the comments below. I’m sure she’s have some good news.

I was sitting in Starbucks doing some work when I saw a girl going over her notes on her Mac in MS Word, but with a very cool layout…a layout that not only looked like a real notebook, but that also had tabs! Just having the notebook layout may be cool for students, but it’s not very functional. However, adding the use of tabs to the mix makes all the difference.

Take a look:

Why does tabs add so much more to it?

Let’s say you’re at a seminar with multiple speakers. Instead of having one LONG documents that has notes from each speaker, or instead of having multiple docs, one for each speaker, you can now have ONE document with your notes from each speaker separated by tabs! So much easier to work with and find things.

To activate it, all you have to do is go to VIEW>NOTEBOOK LAYOUT. Then click on each tab on the right to go to that section of the document. To ADD a tab, just click on the “+” below the last tab. And to delete a tab, just RIGHT-click the tab you want to delete and select “delete.”

The version of MS Office that I’m running is MS Office Home and Business for Mac, but, of course, it’s also a feature in Word in MS Office Home & Student.
