Does the final release of IOS 4.0 allows the installation through iTunes for Windows (as long as you have a developers account)? Or is it just like the previous betas where you can only install through a Mac?

Always will be. Homescreen wallpapers are not supported on the 3G. It is a two-year-old phone.

My friend registered my udid but I'm using Windows and don't have access to a computer running Mac OS. Does anyone know if I can install this? Previous releases were Mac only.

Ha, I love that. Still no multitasking, one of the biggest complaints about the iDevice OS. At least they added wallpapers for the springboard etc. I guess I'll just have to stay with my jailbreak if I want to have multitasking and free themes that will probably all be better than those provided by Apple.

i was able to install 4.0 GM on my 3gS on windows 7 via vmware
all you gotta do is download latest itunes 9.2 and the firmware on vmware
and put your iphone on DFU mode then just restore
note you need to activate your iphone on vmware
because when you try to conect to itunes on your regular windows it wont connect to itunes you get an error saying that you need itunes 9.2 o well i wont be able to sync my iphone till realease day i want my music videos and contacs

get your facts right…It supports full multitasking!!!!

Paul June 8th, 2010

so sad! where is the native radio apple??

streather June 8th, 2010

I suggest you get your facts right,

iOS only officially supports multitasking on the iphone 4, the iphone 3GS and the 32 and 64gb ipod touches, the iphone 3g and the 2nd gen ipod touch and 3rd gen 8gb ipod touches do not have multitasking or wallpapers.

unless you jailbreak them, then its literally editing 1 file and adding 2 lines of code into them to enable multi tasking.

and iOS doesn't support the first gen ipod touch or iphone 2g, and believe me it's not because the phones “aren't capable” of it.

The 3GS supports multi-tasking. You are correct that the 3G and the iPods do not.

i install 9.2 in my MAC OS VM

but i get error when in start to restore to os 4

Actually, The 'multitasking' Isn't multitasking at all. The programs are not running in the background, they have been stalled out, But thats all. They just get stored on the memory at the current place you were and then you can easily switch to it, but it is not multitasking. Want multitasking? Well windows Mobile and Android are the only one's that get it right. And Windows Mobile has been doing that since released.
Also Video Calling on phones has been done through windows mobile and Nokia phones since 2003? Something like that. Nothing is actually new.

hey rookies…the ios 4 gm candidate may have multitasking but not the way stevie presented it at WWDC. You are able to close apps while in others but you cannot open pandora for example and have the music in the background while in another app.

These Gold Master candidates are for use of developers only, you guys just wait for the final version that will be released alongside with iTunes 9.2

hey guyz!
we have a Mac room in our school which is full of Macs
is it possible to bring my ipod touch there with the firmware on a flash memory and update through a Mac?

Arief Mohdnor June 10th, 2010

@Ryan : Well, that's what makes apple freaking rich. They want to limit every updates, features, hardware, software and everything else so that people will buy their new release because of new features.

hi Omar, i am Jimmy from Indonesia. I have difficulty in downloading and installing the ios 4 from iTunes. Have to re-click “update” on the iTunes again and again when connection failed. My computer system running with 7 Windows Pro, but the connection still can be done when hosting internet. Is there any problem with my computer system? Thank you.

u need to update it to 4.0 first then jailbreak it with the 4.0

sukhy June 29th, 2010

backgrounder differs from multitasking.
multitasking does not keep the apps running the whole time, causing less lag
backgrounder keeps the apps running, fking up ur ipod/iphone and causing many errors.

which file you talking about and how to rename it

If you folks are having trouble with the zip file.. Make sure and set your folder setting to unhide known file extentions…. This will actually allow you to rename it from a .zip to a .ipsw file… IF YOU DONT DO THIS YOU WILL END UP WITH A iPhone1,2_4.0_8A293_Restore.IPSW.ZIP FILE…..

That is all..

Jake Radcliff August 1st, 2010

Sorry, but on the iPod touch 2G you can't multitask or have a home screen wallpaper. The ipod touch 2g doesn't have enough memory to multitask, but I don't know why you can't have a wallpaper. I have an ipod touch 2g and this is how I know. I am thinking of getting an ipod touch 3g just so I can multitask.

Max Evans August 1st, 2010

The iPod 2G cannot support multitasking.. some of the functions won't work on any iPod below the 3rd generation. The Apple website states that.

People don’t hack. Hacking is when people literally open there iDevice. People Jailbreak them.. Learn it they are way different.

because Apple are douchebags… you cannot have wallpapers or multi tasking on the second generation ipod touch nor can you have them on the iphone 3g… all you get is folders and a few extra tweaks.
