Steve Jobs Resigns as CEO of Apple

Hans — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 02:36:52 +0000

Today is a really emotional day for Apple fans. Apple CEO Steve Jobs resigned from Apple. Apple’s Board of directors have named Tim Cook the new CEO of Apple. Steve Jobs is not leaving Apple entirely, he will still be working in Apple as Chairman of the board.

Here is Steve Job’s letter that he wrote to the board:

To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:

I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.

I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.

As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.

I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.

I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

Steve

Download Free Skype for iPad to Video & Voice Chat over 3G and WiFi

Hans — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 04:06:19 +0000

Today Apple released the free Skype for iPad software. Users can now download Skype for iPad and have video and voice chat over 3G and WiFi technology.

Of course only iPad 2 users can make video calls because only the iPad 2 has a front facing camera while the first generation iPad does not. It is recommended that you use WiFi as it will provide higher quality video calls and voice calls than 3G.

You can download Skype for iPad now from the App Store.

[UPDATE]: Skype temporarily took down the Skype for iPad app from the App Store but now it’s back up!

iOS 4.3.5 Download Links

Hans — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 00:31:52 +0000

Apple released the iOS 4.3.5 software update for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch today. This update fixes a security issue with certificate verification. The previous 4.3.4 update was released to fix a PDF exploit which was used by a jailbreak but this new iOS 4.3.5 update fixes a security issue that has nothing to do with jailbreak.

If you are non-jailbroken, you can go ahead and update but if you are on iOS 4.3.3 you shouldn’t update to iOS 4.3.5 if you want to keep your untethered jailbreak.

Here are the details of the security issue from Apple:

Impact: An attacker with a privileged network position may capture or modify data in sessions protected by SSL/TLS

Description: A certificate chain validation issue existed in the handling of X.509 certificates. An attacker with a privileged network position may capture or modify data in sessions protected by SSL/TLS. Other attacks involving X.509 certificate validation may also be possible. This issue is addressed through improved validation of X.509 certificate chains.

Download iOS 4.3.5 Links

iOS 4.3.5 download (iPad 2) (WIFI)
iOS 4.3.5 download (iPad 2) (GSM)

iOS 4.3.5 download(iPhone 3GS)
iOS 4.3.5 download (iPod touch 4th generation)
iOS 4.3.5 download (iPod touch 3rd generation)

iOS 4.3.5 Jailbreak Information

Yes, it is possible to jailbreak iOS 4.3.5 but you will only have a tethered jailbreak. So if you’re on firmware 4.3.3 with a untethered jailbreak then hold off on updating.

Download iOS 5.0 Beta 4 Firmware for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Hans — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 20:35:09 +0000

On Friday, Apple released the iOS 5.0 beta 4 firmware update for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Developers can download iOS 5.0 beta 4 from the iOS Dev Center. What surprised us is that Apple finally enabled OTA (over the air) updates. This means beta testers will now be able to easily update their device without the need of iTunes. If you are currently on iOS 5.0 Beta 3 you can simply update to iOS 5.0 beta 5 software by going to General -> Software Updates in the Settings menu.

From my experience it took 10 minutes to update, but the timing may vary depending on your network connection speed.

Download iOS 5.0 Beta 4 Links

You must have a developer account in the iOS Dev Center in order to download iOS 5.0 beta 4 software from the links below.

iOS 5 beta 4 can be installed using over the air software update from devices that have iOS 5 beta 3 installed. Over the air software update can be initiated by choosing General > Software Update in Settings.

This version of iOS is intended only for installation on development devices registered with Apple’s Developer Program. Attempting to install this version of iOS in an unauthorized manner could put your device in an unusable state, which could necessitate an out of warranty repair.

Devices updated to iOS 5 beta can not be restored to earlier versions of iOS. Devices will be able to upgrade to future beta releases and the final iOS 5 software.

A pre-release version of Apple TV Software is being provided in order to test AirPlay functionality with your iOS 5 apps.

Xcode 4.2 Developer Preview, iOS 5 beta, iTunes 10.5 beta and Apple TV Software beta are pre-release software and are considered Apple Confidential Information and are subject to the terms of your iOS Developer Program License Agreement. Unauthorized distribution or disclosure of Apple Confidential Information is prohibited.

As part of this pre-release iOS beta software, Apple will be collecting, using, storing, and analyzing diagnostic and usage logs from your device in order to improve the product, unless you opt-out. The location of your device may also be sent to help Apple analyze wireless or cellular performance issues (e.g. the strength or weakness of a cellular signal in a particular location).

Skype for iPad Coming Soon, Will Support Video Calling

Hans — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 02:48:11 +0000

Skype will be releasing their Skype for iPad application to the Apple App Store really soon. It will support video calling on iPad 2 on WiFi and 3G. Only iPad 2 users will be able to make video calls because iPad 2 has a front-facing camera and the first generation iPad does not.

A video demo of Skype for iPad can be seen below. Skype officially released this on their YouTube channel yesterday and deleted it, but Twitter user @trackizmy1 saved it and sent it to RazorianFly so all credit for the video below goes to him.

CNET got a chance to try the Skype for iPad app and they have posted a hands-on gallery with details of their preliminary test. According to CNET, Skype for iPad will be released on Tuesday, June 28.

Hans — Tue, 03 May 2011 03:24:00 +0000

UPDATE: iOS 4.3.3 is out, and you can now download iOS 4.3.3.

Popular technology site, BGR has gotten their hands on an iOS 4.3.3 download (iPhone3,1_4.3.3_xxx_Restore.ipsw is the name of the file, and the build number has been blurred out) which they say will be released by Apple soon. No exact date for the iOS 4.3.3 is known, but it could be released within the next two weeks or earlier. This update will bring the following changes:

Location database will no longer be backed up to iTunes
Location database size will be reduced
When Location Services are turned off, location database will be deleted entirely
Battery life will improve
iPod bug fixes

If you jailbreak and you plan to download iOS 4.3.3 for iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch please note that it may fix the untethered exploit in the current iOS jailbreak, so make sure you check back here first before you update.

Jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 Untethered — iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad, iPod touch 4G, and iPod touch 3G

Hans — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 00:37:37 +0000

You can now jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 untethered as the iPhone Dev Team has now released the Untethered iOS 4.3.2 jailbreak. Credits for the redsn0w software go to iPhone Dev Team and the exploit goes to i0n1c. Just follow the steps below to jailbreak. If you want to unlock your iPhone to use it on another carrier, you should not jailbreak or update to iOS 4.3.2 yet as PwnageTool software for it has not been updated for it yet.

Apple also released the iTunes 10.2.2 download, but you can still jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 untethered so it’s safe to update to iTunes 10.2.2.

This jailbreak is compatible with the following devices:

Jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 Untethered iPhone 4 (GSM) — [UPDATE: WORKS on iPhone 4 Now!]
Jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 Untethered iPhone 3GS
Jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 Untethered iPod touch 4G
Jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 Untethered iPod touch 3G
Jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 Untethered iPad 1 – You can’t Jailbreak iPad 2 iOS 4.3.2 Untethered because that uses a different exploit which hasn’t been released yet!

Steps to Jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 Untethered:

1. Download redsn0w 0.9.6 rc14 for Windows or Mac computer. Make sure you update to iOS 4.3.2 if you haven’t already!

2. Download iOS 4.3.2 IPSW software for your device.

3. Open redsn0w (you may have to open it in XP Compatibility mode — to do that, right-click redsn0w -> Properties -> Compatibility Tab and select Windows XP and click OK), and follow the on screen instructions. Once it’s done you will be jailbroken on iOS 4.3.2 untethered!

Having problems updating to iOS 4.3.2? If you can’t update to iOS 4.3.2 it may be because you have gs.apple.com in your HOSTS file, so remove gs.apple.com and you should be able to update your device to iOS 4.3.2. Here are the steps on how to do this:

1. Right-click and Run Notepad as administrator

2. File -> Open, and Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers and open the HOSTS file

3. Erase the line that says gs.apple.com

4. Go to File -> Save As- > and for file name make sure it’s HOSTS and for file type make sure you select All files and then click Save.

Let us know how the jailbreak goes for you in the comments.

iOS 4.3.2 Untethered Jailbreak Possible – iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad, iPod touch 4G, and iPod touch 3G

Hans — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 17:06:13 +0000

Apple released iOS 4.3.2 download just yesterday, and you can currently jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 TETHERED only (which means you need to rejailbreak each time you reboot, so it’s not worth it). Thankfully, Stefan Esser aka i0n1c, the guy who developed the iOS 4.3.1 untethered jailbreak has confirmed that an untethered jailbreak is possible on iOS 4.3.2. Apple has not patched i0n1c’s untethered exploit that he used in iOS 4.3.1.

If you want to jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 untethered, you will need to wait a while. i0n1c says that he will begin working on the untethered exploit on Sunday and it will take some time for it to be created. With an untethered jailbreak iOS users only need to jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 once without the need of having to reboot it every time.

For you geeks out there, i0n1c couldn’t use the untethered binaries from iOS 4.3.1 because he has to create new untethered binaries with new dyld/kernel offsets. The reason i0n1c could not create the untethered binaries to jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 right now is because he is travelling and will be in planes. The iPhone Dev Team cannot create the untethered binaries because i0n1c has kept the source code to himself only.

Stay tuned, and follow us on Facebook and Twitter for instant iPhone/jailbreak updates. We’ll let you know as soon as an untethered iOS 4.3.2 jailbreak is released!

Jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 — iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad, iPod touch 4G, and iPod touch 3G

Hans — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 21:42:23 +0000

Apple released the iOS 4.3.2 download for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad, iPod touch 4G, and iPod touch 3G hardware today along with iOS 4.2.7 download for Verizon iPhone 4 (CDMA) users. The update Apple issued for iOS 4.3.2 fixes bugs, FaceTime issues, and security issues. If you want to jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 I highly recommend you to stay on iOS 4.3.1 for now as it’s unclear whether or not iOS 4.3.2 patches the untethered vulnerability present in iOS 4.3.1.

You can currently jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 on Mac only (EDIT: SEE UPDATE BELOW) on iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 4G, iPod touch 3G, and iPad using the redsn0w jailbreak, but that only gives you a tethered jailbreak. So if you jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 with PwnageTool, you will need to keep using PwnageTool to jailbreak your iOS 4.3.2 device each time you reboot it. It’s a long tedious process, but if you love to hack and want to do it just for fun head on over to BlogsDNA and read Sandip’s post. Credit for the PwnageTool 4.3.2 jailbreak goes to DJayB6 for the bundles and iPhone Dev Team for the actual jailbreak software.

UPDATE: You can also jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 using redsn0w 0.9.6rc12, by pointing it to iOS 4.3.1 firmware but it will still be TETHERED so you have to jailbreak it everytime you reboot your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch.

If you want to untethered jailbreak iOS 4.3.2, then refrain from updating to iOS 4.3.2 right now and wait until an official iOS 4.3.2 jailbreak is released. I will post here once you can jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 untethered.
