Download the iOS 4 GM (Mac Required!)

The official iOS 4 is coming to iTunes in less than 2 weeks- and if you’re anything like me, you may be anxious to get your hands on it now. If so, I’ve got you taken care of.

Unlike previous iOS 4 Betas, this GM does not require your iPhone UDID to be on a Developer Account. You will still need a Mac though. In order to install this GM, you will need to use the iTunes 9.2 Beta, which is only available for OS X at the moment.

Some things to keep in mind:

You can not sync your iPhone to a Windows PC yet, since this build requires iTunes 9.2 Beta which is Mac only at the moment.

This is a Gold Master Candidate build, but does not make it an official build.  There may be bugs that end up getting fixed before the official version hits iTunes.

Here are the steps:

  1. Download iTunes 9.2 Beta for Mac OS X
  2. Install iTunes 9.2 Beta
  3. Download the iOS 4 GM seed for iPhone 3GS, or 3GiPod Touch 3G, or 2G
  4. Plug in the iPhone (or iPod Touch) to your Mac, and start iTunes
  5. Select your iPhone (or iPod Touch) from the left sidebar
  6. Hold the Option key, and click “Restore
  7. Browse for the iOS 4 GM ipsw file and select it

Give it about 15 minutes, and you’ll have iOS 4 on your iPhone (or iPod Touch) ready to go.

I’m running it now on my 3GS, and it works very well.  It’s very responsive and stable.  I have had some app compatibility issues, but that’s because devs haven’t submitted their 4.0 compatible apps to Apple yet nevermind.

How to Hide your Hard Drive in Windows

Do you have a hard drive in your computer you’d like hidden from casual users of your computer? NoDrives Manager will help you do just that. This utility basically hides the chosen hard drive’s entry from Windows Explorer (My Computer, sidebar,address bar, etc) so non-invasive users won’t know it exists.

The drive will remail technicaly accessable through the “Run” section or the command prompt- but chances are people using your computer aren’t looking to get technical and nosey. In other words, this is great for hiding that porn stash of yours- enjoy.

Enable MMS on the iPhone without Updating to 3.1

For those of you who don’t want to update to firmware 3.1 for whatever reason, but want MMS- follow this guide.

iphone-mms

iTunes wants you to update your iPhone to 3.1 before letting you update the carrier file to enable MMS. Many people are asking how to get the the latest carrier file without updating to 3.1. You don’t need to be jailbroken to do this.

Here’s how:

Get the latest version carrier file (.ippc) 5.5 to enable MMS HERE

On Windows it may rename the file to .zip to just rename it back to .ipcc

Make sure itunes is not running

Windows – open up a command shell and type in:

For 32-bit Windows
“C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe” /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1

hit enter

For 64-bit Windows
“C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe” /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1

hit enter

If you copy and paste the commands they won’t work. After you type the command and hit enter it shouldn’t give you any error or any indication it did anything.

Mac – open a terminal and type in..
defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE

hit return

This should now allow you to update your iPhones carrier (.ipcc) file in itunes 9 by pressing and holding shift while clicking the update button (Windows) or Command-Update (Macintosh) in itunes. Choose the .ippc file you just downloaded and install it.

You will need to reboot the iPhone after you install.

You’re all set!

[Apple] Speed Up iPhoto 09

iphoto_iconThere’s a great tip posted over at macosxhints today for speeding up iPhoto ‘09. Many people have noticed the load time for iPhoto has increased considerably after upgrading to iLife ’09, especially if they have lots of photos.

This is just a Terminal command that tidys up your photo database. Over time the iPhoto database becomes fragmented, with information scattered in various places around the database file amongst regions of empty space. The vacuum command cleans up the database by removing the unnecessary parts and reorganizing the file structure.

To vacuum your iPhoto library, start by making sure iPhoto isn’t open, and then open up Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities). Firstly, you have to point the Terminal to where your iPhoto Library is using the cd (change directory) command. By default, this should be:

cd "~/Pictures/iPhoto Library"

Paste the above line into the Terminal, then hit return. If your iPhoto Library isn’t in your Pictures folder you will have to adjust the command to your specific needs. Next, to perform the vacuum, use the following command:

for dbase in *.db; do sqlite3 $dbase "vacuum;"; done

As before, just paste this line in then hit return and you’re done.

Boss Recommendation of the Week – Little Registry Cleaner

The registry is Windows’ storage of vital program settings and instructions. When you uninstall programs through “Add or Remove Programs”- Windows leaves useless program files behind, deep in your registry. The registry is essential in allowing Windows to perform smoothly, so you need to keep it clean.

Little Registry Cleaner

This is what Little Registry Cleaner excels at- it combs through the registry and removes left-behind clutter from uninstalled software.

Changes in your registry can be dangerous- so make sure to backup before making changes to it.
