    Cydia apps to iPhone5?

    Maybe I'm jumping the gun, but some day, iPhone5 will come and eventually we will be able to j/b to puppy. So, if I currently have purchased apps through Cydia on my iPhone3Gs or 4, when I "upgrade" to 5 and can j/b it, will I be able to reload those paid-for apps to the new phone? Thanks...

    Traveling with a slimmed-down iPad

    I'm about to take a two week trip, using my iPad 32Gb as storage for photos from my digital camera (and any videos I take with my iPhone). Problem is, I have it currently so full of apps, books, music, etc, that there's not a lot of space left for "temporary storage." I'd like to set up a "new"...

    ATV/JB? Then what?

    Okay, the Greenpois0n team have given us the ability to jb our new AppleTVs. So, now what do we do with them? Where are the ATV apps, the CydiaTV store, the leadership to take this to a whole new level? ;) I know, ATV is not as attractive (or prolific) as the iP#'s of this world, but the...

    Viewing iPhone/iPad video on TV monitor

    I have the Apple video cable, which support both the iPhone and iPad, with direct component video interface to my HD TV monitor. YouTube and QuickTime videos work great, but I have some apps, mostly international news sources (Deutsche Welle, RT, BBC, France24) that support full-screen video...

    Buying an iPhone4 in Canada

    I live in Maine and have an iPhone 3Gs, locked on AT&T. I'd like to get an iPhone4, but I'm so tired of being locked to any carrier. Not that I'd consider switching carriers while in the U.S. For all of it's shortcomings, AT&T is still the best GSM carrier--especially in coverage and 3G data...

    Remote for AppleTV

    Are there other iPhone app "remote" options for Apple TV, other than the "Remote" app, which really only controls the Mac and network connections? I thought I'd read someplace that there was a WiFi based full remote for ATV, that would do just about anything the little hand-held remote did. I...

    Edit "radio" offerings on Apple TV?

    I just got my Apple TV and like it very much. I'm glad they offered a nice selection of Internet radio stations amongst the options. While not a bad assortment of stations, some of my favorites are not amongst them. Is there any way to add to or edit the existing "Radio" offering on Apple TV?

    SpringBoard crash

    I j/b'd my iP3Gs (4.0.1 / Fw 05.13.04) with JailbreakMe. Worked fine. Then after a day of flawless functioning, I added a new theme and ultrasn0w to "unlock" the phone. Shortly, afterwards, the SpringBoard crashed and I've had to run in Safe Mode for the past four days. I've used Cydia to...

    Unlock (carrier) test?

    I supposedly just "unlocked" my j/b'd iPhone 3Gs with ultrasn0w. Short of finding someone's T-Mobile SIM card to replace my AT&T SIM with, is there any way to "test" and see if my iPhone is truly unlocked? The process appeared to go smoothly, with no error messages. I'd like to know before I...

    Silencing the iPad at night!

    I love my iPad, and unlike my iPhone, I don't have to worry about phone calls in the middle of the night. On the other hand, I do receive emails around the clock and that damn chime wakes me up. I can go into Settings and turn off message notifications, but that's a bit of a hassle each time...

    Ordering iPhone HD from Apple or AT&T?

    I would like to pre-order the iPhone HD (4.0) tomorrow, when it's available, but should I go through Apple or AT&T? Does it make a difference? Will Apple's online store know what my "upgrade" status is with my AT&T contract and old equipment, so that I'm charged the correct amount?

    European iPad data plans with mico-SIMs

    Now that the iPad has made it to much of Europe and many North Americans are headed there during the coming summer, I'm wondering what our options might be for using our new iPads (with 3G) on local European cellular providers' data plans (at a reasonable cost). The iPads are "unlocked", so all...

    Cydia errors

    I have a iPhone 3Gs (3.1.2) with Cydia, that has worked find until recently. For the past month, when I load Cydia, I get several errors: "Failed to fetch," "NetDB: Open nodemanme nor servname provided, or not known," "Some index files failed to download." Once I press "OK" the application...

    Can't update some apps on version 3.1.2

    I'm iPhone 3Gs jailbroken and holding at version 3.1.2, but more and more I'm encountering App upgrades that "require a newer version of the OS." It seems that the older app version gets removed by iTunes and not replaced! This is manageable, so far, as these are not necessary Apps, but it's...

    Edit App Icon Name?

    Sometimes the name of an app is too long (too many characters) and either gets truncated or runs over the adjoining app's name. Can this is remedied? Can the name of an app (under the icon) be safely edited ? I'm talking about a jailbroken iPhone, of course. Thanks. Michael:rolleyes:

    Getting your "keys signed"?

    I have read several posts, warning jail broken iPhone users not to upgrade to firmware 3.1.3. Okay, no problem, but the notices go on to state... "Make sure you *rush* into Cydia or Rock and get your keys signed on the front page if you have not. This will make certain you can always restore...

    What's the difference? Which is better for the latest model iPhones iPhone GPS 3.1.2, with 05.11.07 firmware? Do both resulting jail breaks result in the necessity of a tethered reboot and re-jail break after a shutdown? Thanks.

    Restore required anytime I shut down

    I have now jailbroken my iPhone 3GS 3.1.2 five (5) times. The jailbreak process went smoothly each time. The first period of having a jailbroken iPhone lasted almost two weeks. Last night, things changed--it "froze up" totally and I had to do a full restore. After what appeared a...
