These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 3GS on the 5.0b4 firmware using RedSn0w for Windows. Since iOS 5.0 has not yet been released these are instructions for developers only. This procedure will cause you to upgrade your baseband potentially ruining your chances for an unlock, it will not hacktivate so you must have your UDID registered with a developer, and it is tethered.

 

Step One
Create a folder on your desktop called Pwnage

Download RedSn0w from here and place it in the Pwnage folder. Likewise, download the latest 5.0 firmware from the iOS Dev Center and place it in the same folder.

5.0b4 (3GS): iPhone2,1_5.0_9A5274d_Restore.ipsw

Extract the RedSn0w zip file into the same folder.

 

Step Two
Connect your iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes.

Select your iPhone from the list of devices on the left. Now hold down Shift and click the Restore button. Restore is preferred as it won’t create any wasted space on your iPhone.

Navigate to the Pwnage folder on your desktop and select the 5.0 firmware ipsw. Click the Open button to continue.

Step Three
Once iTunes has finished updating your iPhone to the desired firmware open the Pwnage folder on your desktop and launch the redsn0w application from the redsn0w folder we extracted earlier.

Step Three
Once iTunes has finished updating your iPhone to the desired firmware open the Pwnage folder on your desktop and launch the redsn0w application from the redsn0w folder we extracted earlier.

Step Four
Once RedSn0w opens click the Browse button

Step Five
Select the 5.0 firmware ipsw we placed in the Pwnage folder on our desktop then click Open.

Step Six
Once the firmware has been verified click the Next button to continue.

Step Seven
RedSn0w will now prepare the jailbreak data

Step Eight
From this window you can select the jailbreak options you would like. Make sure Cydia is selected and click the Next button to continue

Step Nine
Please plug your iPhone into the computer and make sure its OFF then click the Next button

Step Ten
RedSn0w will now guide you through the steps to get into DFU mode.

Hold down both the Home button and the Power button for 10 seconds.

Release the Power button and continue holding the Home button until RedSn0w detects the device.

Step Eleven
Your iPhone will now reboot

Step Twelve
RedSn0w will then begin uploading the new RAM Disk and Kernel.

Step Thirteen
Once this is complete you will be notified that RedSn0w is done. Click the Finish button. When your iPhone finishes rebooting (5 minutes or so) it will be jailbroken with Cydia on the SpringBoard.

BOOT TETHERED:
Since this is a tethered jailbreak you must use Redsn0w to help you boot back into your jailbroken device if its powered off for any reason. Simply connect your iPhone to the computer, launch RedSn0w, select Just boot tethered right now from the options window and click Next to have RedSn0w boot your device.

The iPhone Dev-Team has released RedSn0w 0.9.8b5 which supports performing a tethered jailbreak on iOS 5 beta 5.

redsn0w has been updated to 0.9.8b5, adding support for Apple’s new iOS5 beta5 (point it directly at the beta5 IPSW). Please use this only if you’re a jailbreak app developer with a legit Apple dev account, and remember it’s a tethered jailbreak for now!

“Hi to everybody, does a keyboard shortcut exist for launching Launchpad?”.

It is possible to access Launchpad of Mac OS X Lion through the relative icon (a spatial nacelle in brushed metal) in the Dock or in the briefcase Applications, pinching with three or four fingers (according to the formulations in Preferences of System / Trackpad / Other actions), or bringing the cursor of the mouse in an angle of the monitor (shaping the option active Angles from the panel Desk and Screen saver or of Mission Control of the Preferences of System).

In more, in few clicks it is possible to shape Launchpad to launch him/it with a headrest shortcut or a key function. It is enough to open the panel Keyboard of Preferences of System, selzionare Dashboard and Dock in the column of sinsitra, therefore in the panel to the right to put the sign of sprouts to “Show Launchpad” and cliccare to the right of the name and digitare the combination of keys that is preferred or a key function I free (F5 or F6, for instance).

Time Machine of Lion has earned some new functions, but it is one of it that can return particularly useful: now it is possible to use a preceding hard disk of Time Machine with a new computer and to inherit the historian of the backup of the old Mac.

The process of migration is rather easy: it needs to connect the old disk of Time Machine to the new computer and to open the panel Time Machine of the Preferences of System. Lion will remember that a disk of backup has not been selected and it will show a dialogue box with a button to open the Preferences of Time Machine and a new option: It uses preceding disk. Cliccando this last will be visualized a list of the unities climbed on with the backup of Time Machine.

Once selected the old disk of Time Machine, another choice you/he/she will be given: to create entirely a new backup or “to inherit” the historian of the backup of the old disk. In this last case, the backup of Time Machine of the old computer will be migrated on the new computer. And’ the case to underline that if the migration of the backup of Time Machine effects him on the new computer, not on it will be able to use him/it more with the old Mac.

It deals with a notable footstep in before, in comparison to Time Machine of Leopard and Snow Leopard. In precedence, in fact, when a new Mac was purchased, it was possible to migrate the data from the backup of Time Machine to shape the new computer, but later, the existing backup were not recognized by Time Machine. The practice was created a new backup, losing so the historian.

It is possible to maintain the continuity of the backup through now more computers, so that to never lose the old data.

The development of QuickSilver, the popular one and apprezzatissimo it continues launcher for Mac OS X, despite his/her dad, Nicholas Jitkoff, in 2009 is passed to Google for realizare Quick Search Playpen (the alter ego of QuickSilver).How Butler ($20), Quicksilver. it is an excellent utility, that allows to quickly launch applications, documents, URL, songs of iTunes, preferred of the browsers etc. You automatically loads to the start of the Mac, he/she works in background and you/he/she can be recalled with the keyboard combination that of default is ctrl-space

The operation is simple: writing in the dialogue box the letters po, it for instance appears as first result pa.ges, the application of the suite of iWork of Apple. Pressing the key arrow on it is possible to visualize a list of file connected to the effected search. Thanks to the extreme ductility of Quicksilver, selecting from this list the application Paparazzi is possible to make him learn with the time that pa means Paparazzi (it is the application that I use for photographing a whole Web page).

With a click with the right key of the mouse on the icon of the application or the looked for file, the contextual menu of Action that shows various options appears: You open, Show, Glues etc. what you/he/she can subsequently be personalized in the preferences of Quicksilver. It deals above all with a particularly useful option for actions of routine. Must for example send a determined document every time that is required for e-mail, it is possible to add the action Email to. In this way, digitando the in partnership letters to the file to be sent away mail electronics, once that you/he/she has appeared in the window of Quicksilver it will be enough to choose the Action Email to send him/it by e-mail..

On-line they are available of the plug-in free for good part of the applications of the Mac OS X (Adium, Automator, Entourage, iPhoto, Mail, Transmit etc.).

Finally, always in Preferences / Triggers it is possible to combine a keyboard combination to quickly perform even more one determined action.

Quicksilver b60 is comatibile with Snow Leopard and Lion, and from the site of the developer it is possible to also unload the versions for Tiger and Leopard, and even for Panther.

The sharing screen of Lion has been notably improved. To start, is now not only possible to visualize the desk of another Mac, but also to share the screen for every account of the Mac, even if somebody else is using him/it with a different account.We for example suppose, that a remote Mac has two accounts consumer, Stephen and Alessandra. Stephen is currently working on the Mac with his/her account. From another Mac, Alessandra can select the Mac that appears under the voice “Shared” in a window of the Finder, to make click Shares screen and digitare his/her name consumer and the password in the resultant dialogue box. When he makes click on the button Connected, another window of visualization of selection it appears with two options. to ask to share the screen or to connect to a virtual desk. In the first case, a message appears on the other Mac that to Alessandra it would like to share the screen. If Stephen accepts the sharing of the screen, Alessandra can see what on the screen of Stephen is as also to check him/it.

 

 

If, he makes click instead, to connect to a virtual desk, you/he/she can be chosen to visualize and to check all the accounts to which access is had on the other Mac. You is able, for instance, to select the account Alessandra, to introduce the password, and the relative account will be launched in background on the remote Mac. The only indication that Stephen will have of what is happening you/he/she is the appearance of the icon Sharing screen in the menu bar of the Finder. Alessandra can work then with the Mac in remote, while also Stephen uses him/it.

 

 

Besides, Sharing screen now offers two formalities of visualization, Hardware and virtual Desk. The hardware is the formality of visualization to which has gotten used. When you/he/she is connected to another Mac through the sharing of the screen, you/he/she is shown the image of the remote Mac and in a panel also of the really. When the virtual desk is chosen, the image of the remote Mac is seen, but in this last the window appears than log-in grey with the accounts. The person that was seen the remote Mac, whether to introduce his/her own password to take back the control of the computer.

 

There is also a new formality it Observes (available also from the menu it Approves) that it allows to look at whatever action on the remote computer without interfering. The sharing of the screen has a toolbar personalizzabile and is possible to add the button Control / it Observes for a more rapid access. Ago his/her debut also another function, Instant screen, that together to it Observes you/he/she has directly been taken in loan by Remote Desktops of Apple, that allow to effect a screenshot of the Mac in remote.

 

 

Always from the new toolbar it is (or from the menu it Approves) possible to activate Proper for the window and to care or to send the Notes of the Finder.

As the other applications of Lion, also Sharing screen supports the formality to all screen.

Final considerations

Someone uses the version server of the Mac you mine to check more Mac, I use the application instead Sharing Screen. With Lion some useful and elegant improvements have been introduced, mine preferred is the possibility to connect as consumer on a remote Mac, while another person is locally connected. I like the idea to enter my iMac to house and to use some files without forcing who is using him/it to go out before.
