*iOfficial* iPhone and iPod touch thread

I backup and sync should do it.

[Diablo]

I tried, it did a backup which tookforever and then it didn't have a single app in my library.. Then I did the transfer purchases and it only transfered 51 of them. I've tried everything, and I know my way around things but it's just not working. It's odd

[Diablo]

Do you think it's the appysync is old? I'm using Appsync for 3.0 and I have 3.01 firmware

**edit** No 3.0 works with 3.01

[cpolaris502]

How did you get 300? and all on your phone? I can't help though, try google. Im sure theres a way.

[Diablo]

I've been googling, I even reinstalled appsync. Maybe it's the latest itunes issue i dunno..

What do you mean how did I get 300? I have a ton of apps, and I use categories.

[redngreedy]

I haven't read anything on this, but maybe try going back to the other iTunes. appsync has worked on mine, and my wife's phone with no problems.

[AssDragginSdime]

it should have it in your account history. You may need to manually reinstall them. I know if you have an app you purchased from itunes, and it doesnt show up, but you purchased it, hit buy now again, And it will allow you to donload again for free.. That might be what you have to do.

[Diablo]

I tried an older iTunes version... nothing. But I was looking around on the iphone and under installous " itunes sync " was turned off under settings. I turned it on, and now it works. ****ing 3 hours wasted, I don't know how or why it got turned off, I didn't have a problem before. LoL

[cpolaris502]

Ok, using categories makes sense, ive never used it. i dont think its possible to get 300 without a special trick lol.

[Splosion]

You can put as many apps as you want. Even though you max out on how many pages you have you can use the spotlight to search the other apps if you know the name

[Adam@Autoloc]

Ever since 3.1 update me and my brother have had NOTHING but problems. The other day my phone just shut off,wouldn't hard reset or anything. Plugged it into iTunes. Damn thing made me do a factory restore. I lost all kinds of stuff because iTunes isn't really saving my BACKUPS. I do one every week and for the life of me cannot find the files ANYWHERE on my computer.

Went to Apple their reasoning to poor battery life,freezes and the paper weight not saving my backups: I do not turn it off every other day for 5 mins and I use a PC computer.

[cpolaris502]

Yeah, thats not a good reason to why it would do it. I wonder if reinstalling itunes and then having the fresh restore would help it.

I'm sorry but is swirlymms an app? Or is there a website/forum i need to go on to? I figured it would be just a software thing, i mean i can get almost every app a 3g can.

[SgtM]

Yes, swirlymms is an app. Search for it in Cydia if you're jailbroken.

lol i use a PC and cant remember the last time i turned my iphone off. and it works fine.. Battery life sucks, But otherwise the phone is fine.. But i am on 3.0.1.. So it defintiely sounds like 3.1 is just garbage.

[SgtM]

No problems with 3.1 here. Updated about a week after it came out.

Thank you sir.

[wotgtp]

Sorry if i sound like a newb, but i went on modmyi.com (that's where i got the info to jailbreak my iphone) and i found a page that talks about the app, but i'm unsure on how to download/upload it. Any ideas, or am i just missing something? Thanks in advance.

[AssDragginSdime]

if your shits jailbroke, go into cydia, and search for swirlymms, in the upper right corner hit install, and it will automatically download and install.

[andysutt]

So how hard is it to jail break again after the new updates?

I haven't ever done it, but was curious and I heard its not possible since the new updates

[MetalMafiaCustoms]

so it seems like my brand new iphone isnt charging, its been plugged in for about 10-15 mins and its still in the red, any one else have this problem?

[Diablo]

It takes a little while to charge, prob even more since it's new.

[SleepyTow]

Once an iPhone hater because my friends iPhones would crash and freeze with early software I am now converted and love Jailbreak.



Only thing I hate is pretty poor battery performance but I'm loaded with Push for 3 e-mails and IM and such so it's OK lasts a day anyways.

that theme hurts my eyes

[ChevyBoi89]

saw this on the home page, had a first gen, i believe [the one without external speaker], 16GB itouch. dont use it much now....for some reason it wont connect to the internet anymore dunno why, and the battery only lasts a few [2-4 maybe] hours. in use or not. its still has like one and a half months of the one year apple warrentee on it...didnt get the extra isurance on it from best buy...best buy wouldnt send it in to apple for me because "it has some scratches on the casing, it must have been dropped, and we wont warrentee that" so i feel kinda screwed on that! everything is fine, just replace my battery, and make it connect to the internet!!!! would go to the apple site, and fill out what they need and send it in that way, but dont have a credit card to send it out with. i feel really screwed here, any sugestions? i still got the receipt, box, and all the stuff that came with it too! need some help here!

[andysutt]

Get a credit card from like walmart? The ones they sell at the registers?

[SgtM]

Go to an apple store.

[cpolaris502]

Try a restore on it. That will reset it completely back to the way it came out of the box.

[SgtM]

By the way, has else anyone tried blackra1n yet? It didn't work for me, I'm gonna wait for the next release.

[cpolaris502]

Not I, im sitting on 3.0.1.

[redngreedy]

I cannot get it to work. Although, I find it funny, after I updated, I still had all of my hacked apps.

[beandip]

im going to hold off on the 3.1 jailbreak, i already have mms, the only reason for going to 3.1 is maybe some of the new features. supposedly pwnagetool or another version of the same thing is going to come out on the 12th for windows.

[AssDragginSdime]

apple must have really stepped up their game on the 3.1 shit. Its never taken this long for an official jailbreak for windows to come out since ive had my iphone or ipod touch. Usually its a few days.. week tops and they have it out and ready to go. im still running 3.0.1, and dont really plan on upgrading until they got everything figured out with the jailbreak and with the unlock. I dont need an unlock at the moment to get service, But i dont want to risk it since i dont have an offical iphone postpaid att account.

[redngreedy]

Well, I'm on about my 6th restore after trying to use blackra1n. I don't know what the **** I'm doing wrong.

I have never had this much trouble, even with I had the original 2g lol.

After this restore, I'm going to try 1 more time, and that's it.

[JMew03]

I updated mine and glad I did. The phone runs so much better without being jailbroken and I didn't lose any of my hacked apps.

[redngreedy]

This is the reason for my upgrade, plus I'm with AT&T. So upgrading to 3.1.2, and being able to jailbreak with blackra1n, well, that was the plan, but so far no go.

[redngreedy]

Finally got blackra1n to work. Don't feel like typing right now, but I'll explain in the morning, if anyone wants to know.

[SgtM]

I finally got blackra1n to work. I updated to 3.1.2 earlier. Tried blackra1n. No luck. I then decided to do a full restore on 3.1.2, and then ran blackra1n again. I'm jailbroken now. Just need to sync all of my apps and everything now.

[Ragged97]

will blackrain JB 3.1 or do I need to have 3.1.2? this is what I get when I try to update my phone.

[platour22]

Im having trouble jailbreaking my iphone. When it starts going thru the process it never reboots. Im using 3.0.1 firmware. I followed several videos on youtube but nothing. When i let go of the power button, and contine to hold the home button nothing happens, except something on my computer pops up saying something about a use a 2.0 usb port for faster speeds. But nothing ever happenes to the phone while holding the home button even if i hold it for 2mins. What am i doing wrong. BTW using redsn0w 0.8 and downloading firmware 3.0 not the 3.0.1.

just make sure you are using the correct jailbreak tool for the correct firmware version you have on your phone. I would update it to 3.1.2 and use blackra1n.

I had to restore an ungodly amount of time yesterday using blackra1n. I even did a shit ton of reading before I took the plunge.

When I upgraded to 3.1.2, my hacked apps were still there. That's never happened before, so I was like, cool, this will be easy.

After countless times of trying to jailbreak, and having to restore what seemed like 100 times, I finally found what was wrong.

If you are having problems with blackra1n, do the following. (I'm running Vista, and I read that Windows 7, and Xp were both having the same problems sometimes.)

Move blackra1n to your C drive.

Set to run as Windows XP SP2(or 3 if it's an option) compatible.

Disable any firewalls, and all antivirus software.

Kill all iTunes/Apple programs running in the background.

And this should do the trick.

[redngreedy]

Also, appsync still works. aptbackup, or w/e it's called, didn't work, which it never has for me anyway.

Supreme Prefernces isn't working, which I hate.

Winterboard, and all other little things seem to be doing fine so far. Including five icon dock.

The phone is a lot quicker now, after this update. I'll report back, if batter life changed any.

[platour22]

I finally got it to work last night around 3am and played with it til 5am. What am i missing cause i don't really see a bid deal! I mean its cool you can change your background to your homescreen, but were are all the cool apps at. Also i thought you could get the apple apps free but they still have a price beside em.

[redngreedy]

Are you talking about downloading them through Installous?

If so, they are free.

[J_SIN]

is there any difference in the 8GB and the 32/64GB touch? or is it just a difference in size and the special headphones dont come with the 8GB

[SgtM]

I don't know that there's a difference with the headphones no matter which model you get.

Installous in cydia. Run a search in this thread and you will see how.
