All experimental builds of iOS 5, the next version of the mobile operating system that runs on iPhones,iPod touches and iPads require users to validate their developer accounts with Apple when activating, as a way to curb unauthorized use. Sadly, the just-released iOS 5 beta 4 is no exception, although there's a way around it as long as you're willing to perform a jailbreak. Unfortunately, since the iPad 2 running iOS 5 can't be jailbroken yet, this guide won't work with said device.
Shortly ago, iOS 5 Beta 4 was released to Apple developers. Those who have installed it are probably wondering how easy it will be to jailbreak the new system. It turns out you can do it the same way you'd do with all previous builds of iOS 5, using the just released version of Redsn0w.
If you've been following the news for the last few hours, you're probably aware that the latest build of iOS 5, known as "Beta 4", was seeded to developers. This is also the first ever version of iOS that can be downloaded over-the-air to iOS 5 Beta 3 devices, removing the need for iTunes to apply this update altogether. It now turns out that if you've jailbroken iOS 5, you won't be able to update over the air.
Apple has just seeded iTunes 10.5 Beta 4 to its developers. The new version of iTunes is required for the just-released iOS 5 Beta 4, which was released alongside the new version of iTunes. Although no specific enhancements are known as of yet, several are expected as the final release draws closer.
As many have predicted over the last few days, the fourth beta of iOS 5, Apple's next-generation mobile operating system, has just been released to developers today. While we didn't get the chance to play with the new build yet, it's likely to bring further feature enhancements and bug fixes to iOS 5.
It's Apple patent time again, while watching the inventions and innovation coming out of Cupertino often proving to be a bit baffling - and almost impossible - job in itself.
These days, in order to downgrade an iOS device to a previous version of iOS, you need to have an old SHSH blob of that version, and the only way to do that is to back it up ahead of time, that is, when Apple is still signing the firmware. iSHSHit is a tool that backs up the firmware's blob for later use right on the device itself. The said app has now been updated to work with iOS 4.3.4 and 4.2.9 (for CDMA iPhones), which were both released to the public last week.
After a long wait, the official Google+ app for iPhone was finally released yesterday. The native app, which is a giant leap forward from the web-only experience that was available up until now, only supports iPhone 3G, 3GS, and iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0 or later. Google for some odd reason has left out the support for iPads and iPod touches.
